WOOD'S SPRING PASTURE MIXTURE 
For Quick Spring Grazing 
Sow 2 bushels per acre during January, February and March 
Nothing you can sow in the spring will give grazing, and a lot 
of it, as quickly as Wood’s Spring Pasture Mixture. Sow it to 
have a pasture for all your stock before the grass pasture is 
ready. The Ingredients are properly proportioned and furnish 
an abundance of quick, early and nutritious grazing. All kinds 
of stock relish it. Also makes a good early hay crop. 
A mixture of spring barley, rye, oats, vetch, Austrian winter peas 
and rape, combined in proper proportions to make a quick, early and 
nutritious spring and early summer pasture that will give an abun¬ 
dance of grazing before the grass and clover pastures are ready. It 
makes a quick growth, is relished by all kinds of stock, and comes in 
before the natural pasture grasses have made sufficient growth to 
furnish grazing. 
Wood’s Spring Pasture Mixture also provides an answer to the ques¬ 
tion so often asked, “What shall I sow for pasture for poultry?’’ All 
poultry raisers appreciate the importance of an early green crop for 
laying hens, especially in the early spring, and it will be found a long 
step in keeping up egg production and health of the fowls. 
The earlier seedings are made the better. By mail postpaid, peck 80c;

SOW as early as the weather will allow, 
25 to 30 pounds to the acre, with 3 pecks of 
Virginia Gray Winter Oats to hold the 
vines off the ground and make the cutting 
easier. Sow also in corn and cotton at the 
last working without any expense in the preparation of the land. 
Hairv Vftrh —The hardiest vetch. Fine for hay, grazing and 
" improving land. The yield of hay is really won¬ 
derful, as many as twenty long vines growing from a single root. 
Each plant produces many branches frequently 6 to 9 feet long, 
it yields heavilv on all types of soils. By mail postpaid, lb. 26c; 
5 lbs. 90c; 10 lbs. $1.65; 25 lbs. $3.40; 50 lbs. $6.65.

per lb.; 100 lbs. and over \oy 2 c per lb. No charge for bags. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
A fine early hay crop. 
Canada Field Peas make a fattening and milk-producing food 
on land that will not produce a grain crop, and yet improve the 
soil by gathering and storing nitrogen. They yield heavy crops for 
either grazing or hay; stock eat it greedily 
and thrive on. They grow 4 to 6 feet high, 
but can be grazed when 6 to 10 inches high. 
If not grazed too closely, a second growth 
may be had. 
Sow in January, February or early in 
March, plow in 4 inches deep, after which drill in one bushel of 
Fulghum Oats to the acre to hold the vines off the ground. Sow 
1% bushels to the acre.

ESSEX RAPE 
A Quick and Cheaply Grown Pasturage for Sheep, 
Hogs, Cattle and Poultry. 
Ready in 6 to 8 Weeks from Sowing 
Sow it as early as possible—February and March or early April Is 
not too late. 3 to 4 lbs. plant an acre in drills; to 8 lbs. broadcast 
Formerly rape was grown especially for sheep and lambs, but in 
recent years it has been found equally good for providing pasture 
for all kinds of stock. It has been estimated to yield more than 
10 tons of green forage per acre that, for fattening is claimed to be 
worth, pound for pound, double the value of clover. One of the 
State experiment stations reports that the lowest average gain on 
lambs fed on rape alone was 7 to 8 lbs. per month. Another experi¬ 
ment station recommends the sowing of 5 to 6 lbs. rape to the acre 
in corn at the last working, and stating that this has proved a 
particularly profitable practice, as an enormous crop can be grown 
at a cost of about 50 to 60 cts. per acre. An acre of rape will easily 
pasture twenty hogs for two months. 
Do not turn stock into a rape pasture when they are hungry, nor 
when the rape is wet, as it may induce bloating; allow them to 
remain a short while the first day, and increase the time each suc¬ 
ceeding day. Give stock access to salt while feeding on rape; 
they should also have hay or straw convenient in case of bloat. 
CULTURE —Sow either broadcast or in drills 18 inches to 2 feet 
apart; when grown in drills and cultivated occasionally, the leaves 
will cover the intervening space; this method is a fine weed killer. 
Allow 8 to 10 weeks for it to attain its maximum growth. 
Sow again next fall for grazing during the fall, winter and spring.
