YANKEE PROLIFIC OATS. 
VL 
THE GREATEST YIELDING OATS 
IN THE COUNTRY. 
WEIGHT, 38 TO TO POUNDS PER BUSHEL 
Will yield j more than the best of all other 
kinds, and almost doutde the 
ordinary varieties as grown 
by the ordinary 
farmer. 
These Oats will not weigh 50 pounds per 
level bushel, nor will any other variety, 
wiihout extra preparation; and the paTty 
who buys Oats that weigh 50 pounds per 
measured bushel, with th<j expectation of 
raising them to weigh the same, will be dis- 
ap| ointed, unit ss he puts them through a 
process to remove the hull and points, 
(which are the light parts,) when he may 
reasonably expert extra heavy oafs. 
Agwn, whether Oats are heavy or riot 
depends much upon the land oil which 
tin v are grown. Oais raised on poor land 
may weigh onlv 28 or SO pounds to the, 
bushel, while the same variety raided on 
rich land mav weigh 88 or -40 pounds—but 
seldom exceeds this weight. Did von ever 
raise line apples on trees growing irr a 
starvi d-fo-de»th soil? Well. Oats are just 
as much tlie fruit of the oat-plant as aj>- 
ples are of apple trees. 
THE YANKEE PROLIFIC OATS 
area C’oss between t ho Dlnck Norwayand 
A\ liite Prolxstier and were originated in 
Jb on hern Pennsylvania. They are more 
prolitic than eitiier of their parents. Grow 
tall, with bright,still straw. Heads extraor¬ 
dinarily long.umd are what are known as 
side O.tts. '1 he grains grow irr pairs, and, 
in ordinary cultivation we observed nu¬ 
merous heads the p; st season in om ex¬ 
perimental field with 200 grains. While 
the a-verage w; s about Ifo grains, and no 
other variety in the field would average 
over 100 grains—and we rould not fin(1 a 
head in all ihe other varieties having 100 
grains. The grains aro shorter than White 
J rohestier but thicker and plum] er. P< au- 
ti'ul white color, thin husk, and short 
point. They ri'i ev turly. stand up well, 
and yield front j more to twice as much as 
any other vain tv we ever saw. Wo rec¬ 
ommend the puhlicto grow them with the 
greatest confidence.
