MANSHURY, THE COMING BARLEY. 
On all farms where the soil is suitable, bar¬ 
ley is a very profitable crop. It yields well, 
and one bushel for feeding purposes is worth 
nearly as much as two of oats. This is true as 
a hog, cow, sheep, or even as a horse food. 
To do its best it requires rich land, to be sowed 
early, a top-dressing of salt, and the proper 
selection of seed. We have raised all the va¬ 
rieties in cultivation, and of the lot I prefer 
the Manshury. It grows as tall and rank as 
the two-rowed; it is of as good weight as the 
two rowed, and of as good quality as the six 
rowed. It will stand up and mature on land 
made so rich that the six rowed would fall 
down when half rip9 after heading, and it does 
not ripen for nearly two weeks after the six- 
rowed must be cut. Heretofore the buyers 
have tried to decry it, but they are now be¬ 
ginning to recognize its value and are running 
all about the country trying to get it. 
But if the grower were compelled to sell his 
crop at ten cents per bushel less than the 
price of the six rowed, he could, even then, af¬ 
ford to raise the Manshury, as it will yield 
at least one quarter more on good, rich laqd. 
I have this year a fine crop, yielding over 65 
bushels per acre, and have sold it for as much 
as the best six rowed was worth.
