The safest and most profitable investment the 
farmer can make is the purchase of a bushel or two 
of this seed. They will not rot like the high priced 
potatoes, and an aero will pay a larger profit next 
year sowed In this seed than any other crop that can 
he mtsed. Speculator* are already offering to con¬ 
tract for the crop next, year, but ivu advise farmers 
not to innka any smell contract* at present. We shall 
continue our depot for the distribution of 111 ,, sued 
I 11 this city next year, Willi brunches In the principal 
cities of Hie West, also in Europe, and cun asstiro 
our patrons that our facilities will enable them lo 
sell at fair prices. 11 n ill require thieu or four year* 
to supply this and other countries with the scud, by 
YVhleh time we may expect the price to he reduced to 
the usual market rates. Hundred* ol person* arc 
advertising Norway Out*, many of whom liuvn never 
had a grain of genuine seed, and t lio public are cau¬ 
tioned ugulnst buying of any but well known and 
reliable persons. The Nonvay Out* will yield three 
times us many bushels to the acre as Unit of any 
other known out. Tho grain Is much heavier In 
weight, attd they will not rust or loijge. Hundreds 
of the iiiohI reliable farmers in tho land have volun¬ 
tarily testified lo this.

I have this day examined some Norway Oats, 
grown by I’ II Robin*,.mu thl* pit., 1 Imvo fived 
to see 77 years, ami > in truly *nv J never saw such a. 
splendid specimen of oat* I,• lore. The heads are 
from 12 to IS liu-lit", bum, the moat very large anil 
floury. A) r. Ranisdell has my best wishes for Ills ue 
cess in uti enterprise of great value to our farmers. 
From Gen, Stephen Thottuut, Lieutenant Governor of 
Vermont, Aug. IM, 18(59. 
I have seen tho Norway (Jilts, raised by D. W. 
Ranisdell. growing in Held* In till* * 0 ,lion', tor the 
past llireo years, and I consider Hiein I'ur superior to 
any other oat* In lie, country, for llioir great yield 
per aero, and excellent quality. The straw grows 
very .strong, and they urn not *0 liable to lodge as 
tho other kinds. 
C. W. Halt, Plain field, VI., sags: 
I wish to an,v, in regard to vour Norway Oat«, that 
•hey urn u new variety, and far ahead of anything 
we have ever seen In this section. The stalk* an, 
much more numerous to the single oat lliite the ,j,l 
kinds, and they grow strong und high. I can advise 
my brother luimcrs that tlioyaro well worth tlielr 
attention. 
A.K. Fasthrook, St. rat ton, Vt,, sails: 
I planted 1(H) grains of your Oats, and have not, 
harveiitcd them yet,. I should Judge the yield would 
be I run 1 eight to twelve quarts I counted one stalk 
and loiind A,II oood oats on It. They grow Irom eight 
lo twenty stalk* to each oat. I am so well pleased 
with them Ihat If i could not get any more, 1 would 
not take any price for Yvhat 1 have. 
It. H. Fctleyws, Walt* Itiiw, Vt., says: 
Those Norway Oats go ahead of anything I ever 
saw. lor growing and yielding, and all Im iner t ought 
to have them, and would Pave them If they could 
"nee see thorn growing. My friend George While 
sent tor some on my reeomuiondftltou, and I* also 
highly pleased with them. 
Front Timothy Wheeler, of IVatertmrn Cent re, Vt. 
Those Norway Oats are growing wonderfully, and 
are a sight to behold. They are over live feet high. 
Tim tallest I measured was live feet seven Indies, 
and sonic of the loaves measure one inch across- I 
find one slool, all from a single oat, count up fifty 
slalks, anil tile head* are long and lull. They will 
yield at a rate of not lex* than l ivu hundred bushels.
