PEAS for Fodder and Green Manuring. 
“Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this 
country every year than is now purchased annually by the farmers 
at a cost of millions of dollars .”—{Yearbook of the U. Department 
of Agriculture.) 
For the Northern States there is no crop of greater value than 
Field Peas, and none is more neglected, which can only be attributed 
to a lack of knowledge as to its merits. Whether for fodder, in 
mixture with oats, sown at the rate of two bushels each per acre, or the Peas sown alone at 
the rate of three bushels per acre for plow’ing under, there is no crop that we can so strongly 
recommend for more extended culture. 
Like all leguminous crops, Peas have the power of extracting nitrogen from the air, 
and the soil from which a crop of Peas has been harvestecl is richer in nitrogen than before 
the Peas were sown upon it, and there is no kind of live stock on the farm to which Peas 
and Oats in mixture cannot be fed with jjositive advantage. The Canada varieties and 
Marrowfat should be sown early in the spring, but Cow Peas are more tender and should 
not be sown until corn planting time. Cow Peas, being of very rapid growth during 
the warm weather, can be sown as late as the middle of July with reasonable assurance 
of a profitable crop, either for harvesting or i)lowing under. 
I PNG’S WHITE TARTAR OATS. 
The Ideal Oat for the Jimerican Farmer. 
earliest, heaviest and most prolific domestic-grown Oat in cultivation. It is 
/ suitable for all soils; of robu.st and vigorous constitution, is remarkably early 
i f L and an immense cropper; the straw is long and stout, stands up well and does 
not readily lodge or twist. The heads measure from 8 to lOi inches, and the 
kernels are of immense size, thick, j)lump and heavy, and i.s undoubtedly the 
heaviest cropping dome.stic white oat ever offered. 
Its c.xtrenie earline.-^s, great length anti strength of straw', thick, plump grains and the 
heavy yields it is capable of producing give Long’s White Tartar all the necc.'i.sary quali- 
h^'iLons which go to make an ideal oat. {See cut.) Price. 50c. i)k., SI.GO bu.sh. of 32 lbs.;

Henderson’s Imported CLYDESDALE OATS. 
THE MOST POPULAR HIGH-GRADE WHITE OAT IN THE UNITED STATES. 
The climate of America is unsuited to the pro¬ 
duction and maintenance of the highest grade of 
oats, and unless a heavy imported oat be used for 
seed purpo.ses at least everj' sccoml or third year, 
they become light, “chaffy,” inferior in quality 
amt unprofitable. The financial benefit to the 
American farmers by the annual distribution of 
several thousand busliels of HENDERSON'S 
IMPORTED CLYDESDALE OATS is in¬ 
estimable. These oats weigh naturally 50 lbs. 
per measured bushel, and they deteriorate 
m weight only from three to four lbs. each 
year they arc grown here, so that the produce is 
worth for seed purposes at least double the 
market value of ordinary oats. We offer these 
oats for sale at the weight of 50 lbs. per bushel, 
exactly as grown for \i.s in Britain, so that those 
purchasing will actually receive for every bushel 
over one and one-half bushels according to 
the American standard, which reduces the price 
of “The Clydesdale” to $1.44 per standard 
bushel of 32 lbs. Another mo.st important ad¬ 
vantage of Henderson’s Clydesdale Oats to the 
farmer is the fact that they Fiave been thoroughly 
cleaned by our most improved machinery and 
are absolutely free from weed seeds.

SAND OR WINTER VETCH. 
(Vicia Vlljosa.) 
Though it succeeds and produces good crops on 
loor, sandy soils, it is much more vigorous on good 
land and grow's to a height of 4 to 5 feet. It i.'? 
perfectly hardy throughout the United States, re¬ 
maining green all winter, and should be sown during 
•August and September, mixed with Rye, which 
^rves as a support for the plants, or in spring wdth 
Oats or Barley. 
It is the earliest crop for cutting, being nearly a 
month earlier than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop 
can be taken off the land in time for idfinting spring 
crops. Being much hardier than Scarlet (clover, this 
IS the forage plant to sow in the Northern States, 
where Scarlet Clover winter-kills, though it is equally 
valuable in the South, livery dairyman and stock¬ 
breeder in the United States should have a field of 
It. and if you try it once you will never be a season 
without it. 
It is exceedinglv nutritious, much more so than 
Clover, is eaten with a rdish and may be fed with 
safety to all kinds of stock. 
It will also prove valuable for a Hay crop in the 
wuth and dry Western regions, as it may be sown 
in the fall and \vill make a luxuriant growth during 
the fall and spring months, and will yield a heavy 
crop, which may be cut and stored before the droughts 
set in.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 
Under favorable conditions Rape i.s ready for pasturing sheep 
or cattle W'ithin six weeks from time of sowing, and on an average 
one acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six weeks to two months, 
AVhen on the Rape they should at all times have access to salt; 
but w'ater is not necessary. In the Northern States it .should be 
sown from ^Iay to the end of August for fall pasturing, but as it 
thrives best in cool weather, it should not be sown in the South¬ 
ern States until September or October for winter pasture. In the 
latitude of New York, July or August is the best time to sow. It.s 
fattening properties are probably twice as good as tho.se of Clover, 
and for sheep the feeding value of Rape excels all other plant.s we 
know of. Sow 4 lbs. per acre broadcast. 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills.
