BIG 
.CROPS 
Alfalfa or Wonder Clover. ^WMS 
THREE CROPS IN ONE SEASON. 
Aerlcultural reports from the Northwest confirm that Lucerne Is 
successful in this territory, and that it is one of the greatest forage 
plants in cultivation. Under proper management It wiil yield twelve 
tons to the acre. All classes ot stock are exceedingly fund of it. 
Horses will do more work and keep in finer condition than on almost 
any other food. It makes the largest quantity of the richest milk and 
butter. The roots are so lonj? aud ftrow so deep frost; eaunot lieave or 
throw them out in winier, Oue sowing wiil stand for ten years, and 
Iiisteiul o( inipoverlshini; the soil, enriches it. As a fertiliaing and 
land-enriching crop It has no equal. It is verily making the desert 
blossom like the rose. Grows on the thinnest sandy soil, and thrives 
In the greatest drought. The best method Is to sow l^roadcasl about 15 
lbs. per acre where the land Is in good condition, but ou very weedy 
land or clean gravel or sand that Is very poor, ptit about three pounds 
more. You cannot get any crop from it the llrst year, but do not get dis- 
couraged If the plants are on an average of ten inches a])art, little, slim 
single stems, about four or six inches high. Your pi-ospect is good that you will get four tons per acre next year, 
and the next it will be as good as ever It will, and stand that way for ten years. It Is best to sow with grain. Oats 
are the best. (Try Bonanza King Oats.) Thus .you will lose no time, but can have a crop from yoin- land every 
year. In fact It does better to have It shaded when young. Sow at the s.ame time that you do spring grain. Price,
