THE “HEIIPEHSOH” FHSII HfiF GORIBWIOH. 
A GOLD MINE ON EVERY DAIRY FARM. 
Corn Ih undoubtedly the most serviceable crop that bun tieen used for 
etJHilftyc. but however well preserved In the silo, it is an Incomplete food 
for cattle. Its carbohydrates or heat-producing? parts ure proportionately 
in excess of Its albuminoids or flesh-forming? parts. 
The farmer has In the past, at the expense of his purse, supplied the 
deficiency by feeding grain grown on the farm, or by buying oil cake, cotton¬ 
seed meal or other feed rich In albuminoids. This expense can be avoided 
by using The “Henderson” Ensilage Combination, which is com¬ 
posed of two parts rodder, Corn or Japanese Millet to one part 
Early Soja Beans. An equal acreage of each will produce about the right 
proportion, and the mixture may be made at time of cutting the fodder 
and filling the silo. 
Mixed In the above proportions It Is a complete balanced ration for 
milch cows without the addition of grain or other purchased 
feed. It will mean a saving to tint farmers of hundreds of thousands of 
dollars, and will revolutionize dairying in the Northern States. 
No up-to-date dairy can be profitably operated without a silo, and no silo 
should be filled with corn alone while the Early Soja llean can lie grown iu 
any part of the United States. 
The Soja Beans and Japanese Millet are offered on this 
page; the Fodder Corn on page 75. 
FIELD BEANS and p EAS 
BEAN, Henderson’s Early Soja. The ordinary Soja Bean of 
the South Ih too late to be of value in tlie Northern States. 
This variety ripens even in MnssachusettH, where it grew 
nearly four feet in height, wan heavily podded and 
vielded over ten tone per acre. It Ih a very valuable 
fodder variety either for feeding green or for the silo. 
It Ih a rich nitrogenouH feed, Ih miHurpaHHed as a 
floHhformer, ami, like the CloverH.iH a soil improv¬ 
er, deriving I tH nitrogen from the air. (See cut.)

DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 
Under favorable conditions Rape is ready 
for pant tiring sheep or cattle within six weeks 
from time of sowing, and on an average one 
acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six weeks 
to two mouths. When on the Rape they should 
at all times have access to salt; but water is not 
necessary. In the Northern States it should be 
■own from May to the end of August for fall 
pasturing, hut ns it thrives best in cool weather, It 
■hould not bo sown in the Southern States.until Sep¬ 
tember or October for winter pasture. In the latitude 
of New York, July or August is the best time to sow. 
Its fattening properties are probably twice as good as 
those of Clover, and for sheep the feeding value of Rape 
excels all other plants we know of. Sow 4 lbs. per acre broad 
cast, 2 to 8 lbs. per acre in drills. (See cut.) 10c. lb., $4.00 
bushel of 50 lbs., 100 lbs. $8.00. If by mail, add 8c. lb. 
FOR FODDER AND GREEN MANURING. 
PEAS FOR FODDER. 
4 Pens could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soiis ot 
this country every year than is now purchased annually 
by the farmers at a cost of millions of dollars.”— (Year¬ 
book of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.) 
For the Northern States there is nocropof greater 
value than Field Peas and none is more neglected, 
which can only be attributed to a lack of knowl¬ 
edge 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 plowing 
under, thereis 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 tiie soil from which a crop of Peas has 
been harvested is richer in nitrogen than 
before the Peas were sown upon it, and there 
is no kind of live stock on tlie farm to which 
Peas and Oats in mixture cannot be fed with 
positive advantage. 
The Mummy. Very heavy cropper. $2.00 
bushel; 10-bushel lots, $1.85 bushel. 
Barge Marrowfat. Of immense growth, the 
best, of tiie Field Peas for fodder. $1.60 
bushel; 10-bushel lots, $1.50 bushel. 
Canada White. (See cut.) 50c. peck, $1.40 
bushel of 60 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.30 bushel. 
Canada Blue. 50c. peck, $1.50 bushel of 60 lbs.; 
10-bushel lots, $1.40 bushel. 
Cow Peas. Of great value In the Southern States 
and also in the Northern States as a green summer feed 
for sheep, and as a green crop for plowing under. $2.00 
bushel of 60 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.90 bushel. 
SAND OR WINTER VETCH. (Vida Villosa.) 
Is perfectly hardy throughout the United States, remaining green all winter, and 
should be sown during August and September, mixed with Rye, which serves as a 
support for the plants, or in spring with Oats or Barley. 
It grows to a height Of 4 to 5 feet and is tiie 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 
planting spring crops. Being much hardier than Scarlet Clover, this is tiie forage plant 
to sow In the Northern States where Scarlet Clover winter kills, though it is equally 
valuable in the South. 
It Is exceedingly nutritious, much more so than Clover, is eaten with relish, and may 
be fed with safety to all kinds of stock. 
Sow one bushel per acre with one-half bushel of Rye or Wheat. (See cut.) 10c. lb., 
$1.25 peck, $4.00 bushel of 60 lbs., 100 lbs. $6.00. If by mail, add 8c. per lb.

Japanese. Sown from middle of May to 
end of July broadcast at the rate of 1 2 
lbs. per acre.or in drills 8 lbs. per acre.it 
will grow 6 to 8 feet in height and yield 
12 to 20 tons per acre. It may be siloed, 
fed green or cured into hay, and Its feed¬ 
ing quality is superior to fodder coni. 
Ensilage composed of two parts of this 
Millet to one part of Soja Beans is a com¬ 
plete balanced ration for milch cows 
without theadditionof grain. (See cut.) j
