THBEB CROPS IN ONE SEASON. 
Agricultural reports from the Northwest confirm thatLuoeme 
is successful in this Territory, and that it is one of the greatest 
rorag-e plants in cultivation. Under proper roanag-ement it will 
yield twelve tons to the acre. All classes of stock are exceed- 
mg-ly fond 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 long, 
and grow so deep, frost cannot heave or throw them out in winter. 
One sowing will stand for ten years, and, instead of impoverishing 
the soil, enriches it. As a fertilizing- 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 broadcast about 15 lbs per 
acre, where the land is in good condition, but on very weedy land or 
clean gravel or sand that is very poor, put about three pounds more 
\ou cannot get any crop from it the first year, but do not get dis- 
couraged if the plants are on an average of ten inches apart, little 
shm smgle stems, about four or six inches high. Your prospect is good that you will get four tons oer acre

CLOVER. 
Medium Bed. — Excellent for 
pasturage or hay; valuable as a 
green manure, and should be in all 
grass mixtures. First ftuality, 
lb. 25c. postpaid; by freight or 
express, pk. $2.25, bush. $8.50. 
Mammoth Bed.— Best g-rade, 
lb. 25c. postpaid ; by freie-ht or

White. — Valuable for mixing 
with lawn grass. Lb. 36o., 3 lbs. 
$1.00 postpaid. 
Alsike or Swedish. — This is 
valuableforits hardiness and great 
yield ; does not winter kill, and is 
a heavy cropper on rich soil. It 
makes finer and better hay than 
Medium Red Clover, and will not 
heave out of the ground in the 
spring, as the former frequently 
does. It is probably the hardj. 
est of all clovers, and when once 
started will resist alike both 
drought, extreme cold and the wet. 
Sow 6 to 10 lbs. to the acre. Dont 
faU to try it if you have land 
which is liable to be very damp.

GRASSES. 
Timothy.— Our Northern Grown 
Timothy is too well known to need 
a lon^ description. Its -vigorous 
growing and hea-vy cropping 
properties make it worth more 
to the fiirmer than any Timothy 
he can secure in other sections, 
we have but one grade, as we 
believe no Intelligent farmer 
wants poorer second grade seed 
of any kind. Extra cleaned, lb, 
20o.. postpaid; by freight or ex- 
press, pk, 75c., bush. $2.50. 
Kentucky Blue Grass —This is 
extensively grown by large farm- 
ers who make a specialty of fine 
bred horses. It is readily eaten by 
cattle of all kinds, and will remain 
green longer than any other grass. 
Lb. 25c., postpaid; bv freight 
or Express . pk. 60o. , bush. $2.00. 
Orchard Grass.— It is a splendid 
pasturage grass, and can be cut 
three or four weeks ahead of Timo- 
thy. We want to caution all who or- 
der this grass to be sure and get the 
cleanest seed. Extra Clean Seed,

MILLET.— NORTHERN 6R0WN. 
Magto Millet.— This is far ahead 
of the German Millet in yield and 
quality. AVe have carefully selected 
this seed from the finest grades of 
the Improved German Millet, and 
we do not think it can be equaled 
by any firm in America, either in 
yield or quality. In Magic Millet 
we offer something that we know 
is worthy the attention of every 
wide-awake farmer. Lb. 25c.,

Improved German Millet.- One 
of the best forage plants there is 
grown. All kinds of stock are ex- 
ceedingly fond of it, and eat it 
readily. Lb. 20c., 3 lbs. 50c.,
