Alfilaria ( Erodium cicutarium). The 
seed is very scarce and hard to pro¬ 
cure, owing to the difficulty in gather¬ 
ing. it free from weeds. As to quality, 
it is one of the most nutritious of 
plants; cattle, sheep, horses and hogs 
alike prefer it to any other natural 
product of the plains. It makes the 
sweetest milk and butter, and the best 
meat of any of the natural fodder 
plants of this state. When nearly at 
maturity it is very fattening, and may 
be considered a strong, safe food for 
grazing animals. We heartily recom¬ 
mend it for use on the large stock¬ 
grazing ranges of Arizona and New 
Mexico. Sow 20 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 
$1. Special prices given on large 
quantities. 
Australian Salt Bush ( Atriplex semi- 
baccatum) . The plants have a diffuse 
habit of growth, each one when fully 
developed covering an area of 3 or 4 
feet. Much relished by stock, and sup¬ 
plies the salt so necessary to their 
well-being. It is said to thrive better 
on alkali land than any other. Use one 
pound of seed to the acre if sown 
broadcast; four ounces if transplanted. 
In cutting fodder be careful not to in¬ 
jure crowns of plants. Oz. 15c., lb. $1.50.
