MAY'SPROLIFIC COW PEAS 
(See Cnt.) Cow peas are to tlicS<nith what 
clover is to the North and what Altalfa is to 
■the West. There is now a widespread dis- 
positio»» to plant cow peas farther north 
than formerly on account of their quick 
growing habit and their great value for en- 
silage , and soil impri)verocnt ptir- 
poses. It lias. _ strong roots and heavy 
foliage, possessing great fertilizing powers. 
It draws its nourishment very heavily 
from . the air, and returns it in a 
richer measure to the soil, thereby enrich- 
ing it to a degree that is remarkable. In the 
cow pea we have a fertilizer and a food at the 
same time. If not desired as a fertilizer, it 
makes a fine fodder for cattle. The cow 
pea ranks very high as a soil enricher, gath- 
ering immense quantities of nitrogen from 
the atmosphere. The ripe peas contain no 
less than 1 814 per cent of digestible protein. 
The vines properly cured are a most 
valuable fodder for cattle and sheep, being 
richer in protein and fat thnn tiie best clover 
hay. This is not exactly a pea, but belongs 
more

It requires BRAZILIAN FLOUR CORN, 
a full season to mature and ripen the pods. If desired the 
pods may be harvested for the grain and the vines plowed 
unfler to fertilize the soil. The seed or grain is ground and 
used for cattle fodder; the leaves and stalks also make good 
fodder fed green. Poor sandy land may be greatly improved by plowing under a crop 
off cow peas and thus made into a fertile loam. Plant in a thoroughly pulverized 
soil If wanted to plow under for manure, sow with a drill, in drills a foot apart, 
if grown for seed, plant 3 1-2 feet apart and 1 foot in the row, and cultivate thor- 
oughly using 25 pounds of seed per acre. The yield of peas in a dry state is 
from '40 to 60 bushels per acre. Pkt. loc, lb. 25c, postpaid; bu. $3.50, bag (2 1-3

GREAT BRAZILIAN FLOUR CORN ^iSS^'^^^^I^H^^SS^ 
Originated in Brazil, where it constitutes the principal food of the inhabitants. It Is truh 
a marvelous plant. For more than 6 years our seed was always exhausted before tht 
season ended, so great was the demand. You are sure to like it. It grows 8 feet high, 
and from a kernel sends enough stools to produce 100 ears. Its strong points are: 
1 — Twenty-five barrels of flour can be grown from 1 acre, and this flour is of a-i> 
fine a grade as is made of Dakota hard! 
wheat, which is five times as much as wheat 
produces per acre. 2 — The bread and biscuUs 
baked ther;-from are fully as palatable as 
from any rto^r known. 3 — When boiled in a 
green state it has no superior among Swett 
Corn, while its yield is thrice that ofSwee'J 
Corn. 4-— Matures in all latitudes wherei 
corn ripens. 5 — Cultivate as yoti woul(ij 
corn, allowing 3 kernels to a hill. 6 — On| 
our own grounds it yielded at the rate of 
100 tons per acre of green lodder, of thcmot^i 
delicious, sweet, tender, juicy, nutritioi « 
food we have ever seen. Indeed, it seems 
though this will soon rank as the greau 
fodder-producing plant in the world. 7 — -

CANADA FIELD PEAS. 
{See Cut.)Thc foliage and habit ofgrowth is quite similar to garden peas. The 
Canada Field Pea is one of the very best soiling crojis at the North, and is largely 
used for that purpose and for green manuring. It is sometimes grown alone, but| 
the most satisfactory dairy resultscomefromsowingit with oats, rye or barley. It 
makes good ensilage, and is an admirable food either green or dry for cattle, beinji 
highly nutritious and rich in milk-producing elements. It is qititc hardy and may 
be sown earlv in the spring, and will be ready to cut in May or June. The seed 
should be sown at the rate of 1 or 1 1-2 bushels per acre.
