lYianbHUryUariey. p rof . Hcn ry, of theWisconsin Agricultural Col 
lege. We believe no variety ever introduced has given such perfect satis- 
faction in all parts of the country as Manshury Barley. Professor Henr\ 
says in his report that Manshury still heads the list in productiveness. Yield 
of from 00 to 50 bushels per acre are often reported. A leading farmer of 
Northville, S. I)., reports 240 bushels of Manshury Barley on 5 acres. The 
heads are long, filled with plump kernels, and the straw is extra strong. L 
is a six rowed variety, and, tested with other sorts sold at high prices, i( 
has outyielded all of them, and we believe it the very best sort that can be 
grown for general crop. Lb., 20c., postpaid; pk., 30c; bu., 85c; 5 bu.,

SPELTS OR EMMER. 
It makes a good crop with almost any condition 
of soil and climate. 
It is neither wheat, rye, nor barley, and yet it appears to bo a combination 
of these. It is more like wheat than any of the others mentioned. For fat- 
tening cattle, poultry, horses, sheep, pigs, etc, it is claimed to be ahead ol 
other grains; m fact all kinds of animals seem to thrive on it. Spelt/ h 
claimed to be ahead of corn, superior to oats and more profitable than wheat. 
Yields 80 to 100 bushels of richer food than corn, besides giving as much 
as 4 tons of good hay per acre. Excellent for pasture and can be fed in the 
green state. As green grass hay food it often gives 100 leafy stalks from 
one seed, which shows its heavy stooling properties. The heads are some- 
what similar to two-rowed barley, the spikelets being separated from each 
other in such a manner that the crop is not easily injured by the weather. 
\i is a heavy yielder. Will grow well and produce enormous crops on land 
where wheat will not grow Pkt., 10c; lb., 20c postpaid; 25 lbs,, 85c; 
NO lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs. $1.75; 500 lbs., $7.50.
