PLANT ONLY GOOD SEED 
that cross harrowing will be to your advantage, as it 
has a tendency to scatter the seed more evenly. We 
have several mixtures that will be found desirable to 
use for permanent pastures, as they are properly pro¬ 
portioned for their different uses. 
We are prepared to furnish any mixture wanted 
at the lowest prices, and would ask that you ask us 
for mixture prices, such as you may require for pas¬ 
ture mixtures. However we specially recommend our 
Union Brand Pasture Mixture which is carefully , 
mixed from the very best seed stock. No chaff or 
light seed. Will give you a fine pasture with proper 
care. This is the year to re-seed your pastures before 
grass seeds go still higher, as scarcity and heavy de¬ 
mand indicate they will.

GOLDEN MILLET 
No other grass or forage has been able to pro¬ 
duce the enormous yield of this plant. It has produced 
4 to 5 tons of hay to the acre, and from 70 to 80 
bushels of seed. If sown in the spring on newly 
broken prairie, it leaves the ground in the finest 
condition for wheat, after harvesting it. Sow 25 to 
40 lbs. to the acre. Price, lb. 10c; 12 lbs. for $1.00. 
EARLY FORTUNE OR BROOM CORN 
MILLET 
So called on account of the head being a panicle, 
as in broom corn. Seed red and slightly larger than 
common millet, producing more seed and rather less 
foliage than Foxtail millet. Will produce seed in 
dry, hot seasons. Said not to have the diuretic effect 
of Foxtail millet. Price, lb. 10c; 12 lbs. $1.00. 
JAPANESE MILLET OR “MILLION 
DOLLAR GRASS” 
Prof. Brooks of the Massachussets Experiment 
Station, is quoted as saying: “At our station it pro¬ 
duced 60 bushels of seed, 11,297 pounds of straw, 
36,000 pounds of green fodder, 21,000 pounds of good 
hay per acre, being superior to good corn fodder in 
feeding for milk, and in combination with the Soja 
Bean makes a very superior ensilage. He commended 
highly for feeding dairy cattle, young stock and 
sheep, being very rich in nutritious elements. If 
sown latter part of April will be ready to cut for 
hay by middle of July. Attains a height of from 7 
to 7% feet, according to the season.” We cannot 
recommend it in the far north, lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. 
NEW SIBERIAN OR RUSSIAN MILLET 
It is claimed to be the most wonderfully produc¬ 
tive and satisfactory forage plant, possessing in a 
superior degree all the essential merits of any of the 
older sorts, exceeding them by far. The claims made 
by its introducers are that it is from two to three 
weeks earlier than the Golden millet, is a much heav¬ 
ier cropper, that the hay is much finer, stalks more 
elastic and growing much taller, that it is rust-proof. 
Chinch bugs do not relish it, and being of stooling 
habit requires much less seed per acre. You should 
try it. Price per lb. 12c; 10 lbs. $1.00. 
HOG MILLET 
Most common of the Millets for seed production 
the grain is fine feed for hogs, cattle and poultry as 
it is rich in food value. A drought resistant. Color 
light yellow. Price, lb. 10c; 14 lbs. for $1.00. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
(Brassica Napius) 
Main standby of the English farmer in raising 
choice mutton. Perfectly hardy and possesses remark¬ 
able fattening properties. Easily grown. One acre 
will pasture 36 head two months, and lambs will 
make a gain from 8 to 12 lbs. per month. Pigs and 
cattle are also extremely fond of it. A very rank 
grower and bears heavy manuring and high cultiva¬ 
tion. Sow at intervals of several weeks and secure a 
supply of good feed. Sown in June, rape should be 
fed in August, though if the first crop is cut about 4 
inches from the ground, an aftergrowth will be useful 
later. For breeding flocks a piece should be sown first 
week in July or later. Does well with oat3. If the 
soil is rich and clean, sow broadcast; otherwise in 
drills to cultivate the same as corn. Poultrymen will 
do well to sow a small patch to feed green to grow¬ 
ing chicks. Can be sown on wheat stubble, furnishing 
excellent pasture late in the fall. Does well on alkali 
ground. Broadcast it takes 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre; 
in drills 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre. Per lb. 15c; 25 lbs. 
for $3.00. 
SUGAR CANE OR SORGHUM 
Early Amber, a valuable crop to grow for fodder 
or ensilage, as it furnishes an immense tonnage to 
the acre. When fed while young it makes a rapid 
second growth. 15c per lb. Write for quantity prices. 
SILVER HULL BUCKWHEAT 
An improved sort, much excelling the old com¬ 
mon variety, which it has about superseded with us. 
It blooms longer, matures sooner, and yields double 
the amount per acre. Husk thinner, corners less 
prominent, and seeds of a beautiful light gray color. 
Flour made from this variety is pronounced better 
and more nutritious than others. Sow 30 to 50 lbs. to 
an acre. 
Price, lb. 15c; 8 lbs. $1.00. 
HEMP SEED 
This is a crop that deserves more attention. The 
fibre is in demand in the eastern market. 20c per lb.; 
6 lbs. for $1.00. 
SUNFLOWER—MAMMOTH RUSSIAN 
The largest and most productive variety. It makes 
one of the very best of foods for poultry, a great 
egg producer. % lb. 10c; 20c per lb.; 10 lbs. for $1.50.
