OATS. 
These are one of our most valuable crons when properly grown and cared for. The grain is 
one M the best for feeding to working animals, and the straw makes excellent fodder. Also, 
when properly prepared, make an exceedingly healthful and nutritious loud, for man. 
Under the general system of firming practiced, oats rapidly degenerate, and of late years 
the yield generally has been far from satisfactory. , The remedy lies in planting the improved 
varieties. We don’t mean any of the so-called improved varieties but such as lias proved to 
bo su.-erior by repeated tests, and l hen with good cultivation and a continued selection of good 
seed, the farmer can keep them up to their original standard of excellence. 
Oits should be harvested when the lower part of the.stalk has turned yellow, and the ker¬ 
nel has .ins, passed front the milky state. 
WHITE BELGIAN OATS —These rre a, variety introduced from Belgium a few years since, and 
have proved to be a very valuable acquisition. The average weight per measured bushel is 
from 34 to 40 pounds. They are very productive, it handsome light berry, grows a long stiff 
straw, and are not likely to lodge. They mature very early. Our stock was grown by our¬ 
selves, and the threshers claimed them to be the finest they threshed Libs year. 
WASHINGTON OATS —This is a very distinct sort 
amt is-very .productive, and a great favorite in lo¬ 
calities where ir, hits been grown. It has not been 
advertised as extensively as Belgian, and as a con¬ 
sequence is not so well known, but we think are 
fullvas desirable, and wo would recommend our 
customers to give them a irial. The grains are 
plump and heavy, weighing from 3(5 to 40 pounds 
to the measured bushel. Straw very si iff and heavy 
and stands well until ripe. In this la ter particu¬ 
lar they surpass most other varieties. Price, by 
mail, prepaid, 1 pound, 30 cents,; 4 pounds for|l; 
\ bushel, K 5 cents; 1 bushel, 51 00 ; 5 or more 
bushels, at 51 25 . 
AMERICAN TRIUMPH OATS -This variety offered 
for the first time Iasi season, is a cross between the 
Excelsior and Waterloo oats and shows a combi¬ 
nation in a remarkable degree of the excellent 
qualities of both. 
The average height of this oats in a field on a 
fair quality of land is six feet, yet the straw is so stiff 
and strong as to hold the heavy well-filled heads 
up well until fully ripened. The quality of the 
grain is excellent, and it shows a j ielding propen¬ 
sity heretofore uneqiialed, ranging from 50 to 100 
bushels per acre. The accompanying cut,engraved 
from a photograph, will serve to convey a clearer 
idea of the general character of tho grain than we 
can give with words. These oats have given the 
greatest satisfaction tho past season, and we offer 
them again with renewed confidence, and ask all 
progressive farmers to give them a trial. 
WHITE RUSSIAN.—Has done well in many sec¬ 
tions, hut is not an entirely reliable variety. 
WHITE PROBESTIER — A great favorite and one 
, of the most largely cultivated.
