Wonderful Soil Builder 
— Equal to Clover 
When sown with Oats or 
Hay are unequalled for 
Feeding Value. Very rich 
elements that improve the 
muscle, bone and nervous 
system. See photograph

Harvesting Pea and Oat 
Hay. Four feet high at 
time of cutting. 
Makes an annual crop just at a time when you need it the most, or 
when other grasses are short and bare. 
Here is a crop whicli is not only inolitabk- but will n-Uini to tlip Uuul I ho luucli -ifeded iiitrogeu. Peas 
are second only to Clover for eni iHiiiig the soil and can be grown under almost any condition of soil or 
climate. When grown alone sow three bushels to the acre, harvest and thresh same as any other grain. 
When feeding drv Peas, best results are obtained by grinding with other grain, same as you do Corn 
and Oats, only use Peas and Oats. For voung calfs this makes tlie best feed obtainable. lOvery farmer 
should sow a field of Peas and Oats for'Hav. Sow I'eas at the rate of I'/o bushel per acre and Oats about 
two bushels. Sow the Peas lirst. about "three inclu's deep, and then follow with Oats. Tins crop can be 
cut and fed green or out for Hav when the Oats are just going out of the milk and are in the dough. 
It is surprising the amount of Hav this crop will produce and for feeding value is hard to beat. Peas arc 
also sown with Spring Wheat aiid Barley; harvests. 1 Just the same as thougli the Peas were not there, 
threshed and ground for feed. Plowing under Peas and Oats when in the milk are enual to Clover for 
enriching the soil. Great for pasture also.
