MAY'S Alfalfa Medicago Sativa 
MEDICAOO SATIVA. Ser Cut Also called I.uicrnc, ICtcriLiI Clover and Wonder Clover. 
1 Ins IS truly irie farmer s friend. It stands drought and 
dampness, and succeeds during hot, dry weather when many 
otber clovers and grasses fait entirely. Heavy rains or snows 
have nD damaging eject whatever, and simply mak« it flourish 
more than ever. As a feriilr/.ing, land enriching crop it is 
uncqunled. The roots sink down into the earth searching 
for nourishment and bringing to the .Mirf.-cc the chemicals 
and lerliliiiing materials that have been stored to to 15 
feet deep. One seeding stands for years. All cattle arc 
fond of it. It possible sow with oits. at the rate of 15 pounds 
per acre, or if the land is very poor sow J poun<Is more. 
1 he first season the growth will be very light, but don't 
be wtirried if the plants are small ant) several inches 
apart, for that means the next searon you will probably * 
ger from 3 to s tons per acre, and it increases for several 
years producing as high as 10 tons, but that is a very 
large yield. It should be cut when in full blo<.m, but 
don't cut too early; be careful not to 'allow it to become 
. water soaked after cu'ting, as ft retiucs'its value for feeding.

MAY'S Bromus Inermus or Brome Grass 
SUCCEEDS on poor soils. It originaicd in Russia, and is recommended 
on account of the manner in which it has stood on the Hungary 
plains, where the dry sterile nature of the country and the long, con- 
tinued droughts made so many plants succumb. The Bromus, however 
stands well, and has been known for ihiity years to stand when' such robu 
crops as alfalfa have brrn destroyed. It ^rivrs a luxuriant crop, particularly 
on fresh sandy loam soil, and where the climate is warm. Animals eat it Rr("rd;!y, 
'I'tie seed is sow n 
in the early spring. 
It is also used in filling 
up gaps where alfalfa 
or clover crops have 
failed. It yields enor- 
mous crops of splen- 
did hay and affords 
early abundant pas- 
turage. The im-
