Forage and Hay Crops—These Are All Annual Crops—They Will Assure You 
Sufficient Supply of Good Cattle Feed At a Very Small Cost Per Acre. 
1593 Canada Field Peas 
(60 lbs. Bu.) 
I am of the opinion from experi¬ 
ence and observation that Canada 
Field Peas planted at the rate of 
50 lbs. per acre, with 1% bushels of 
oats, will produce the most val¬ 
uable hog and other stock fodder 
for fall and winter feeding and for 
early summer pasture that you can 
possibly plant. Valuable, I will say, 
first on account of its earliness, 
maturing four to six weeks earlier 
than corn. Plant a field of these 
oats and peas near your home yards 
and at the right time turn the hogs 
in and let them do the harvest. 
They will pay you for it. If planted 
alone sow 90 lbs. per acre. Post¬ 
paid, lb., 25 cts.; 3 lbs., 60 cts.; 5 
lbs., 85 cts. Not Prepaid, % bu.,

1593 Canada Field Peas 
Cow Peas (eo ibs. bu.) 
1583 Improved Whippoorwill 
Sow broadcast 1 Bu. per acre or 
45 lbs. in drills 36 inches apart when 
danger of frost is over. Cowpeas 
produce one of the .largest and the 
most nutritious forage crops grown. 
When turned under, they furnish 
nitrogen and generally enhance the 
mechanical condition of the soil. 
They make a fine feed for work and 
beef-stock and for dairy herds, and 
are nearly equal in value to alfalfa 
and wheat-bran. Postpaid, lb., 25 cts.,

host and surest grain crop for 
dry countries and seasons, even 
better than Kaffir corn. It grows 
several smaller heads on side 
shoots, often as manv as eight 
heads, on a stalk. Very valuable

1591 Feterita 
The great advantage Feterita has over 
Kaffir corn and all other plants of that 
class is its extreme earliness and great 
drought resisting qualities. Feterita is

corn, makes excellent fodder and pro¬

1640 Dwarf Essex Rape 
I want to impress it on you 
that the Dwarf Essex Rape 
■v^ill grow and thrive, and be 
profitable in many places on 
your farm. In the spring 
when you are sowing small 
grains, sow it at the rate of 
4 pounds per acre with your 
grain. This will furnish val¬ 
uable pasture after harvest. 
Plant it by itself at the rate 
of 5 lbs. per acre and see the 
immense yield of forage it 
will produce. Sow it at the 
rate of 3 lbs. per acre with 
your cultivation of corn. This 
is undoubtedly the most 
profitable place to sow rape 
seed. If you are hogging the 
corn down, the hogs will 
clean the rape as well as the 
corn. If you husk your corn 
and pasture the cornstalks, 
all kinds of stock eat it 
readily, and this gives them 
green food with the dry.

When Corn fails you or when 
Season is too wet for Corn on low

crop you can sow as late as July 
and harvest a Bi^ Crop of ex¬ 
cellent hay. 
1625German or Golden Millet 
(SO Ibs. Bu.) 
Pew other grasses or forage 
plants have been able to produce 
the enormous yields of this plant. 
It has produced four to five tons 
of hay to the acre and from sev¬ 
enty to eighty bushels of seed. It 
may be sown on newly broken 
ground in the spring and as late 
as July. Leaves the ground in ex¬ 
cellent condition for the following 
crop. Plant 30 pounds to the acre.

1613 Sudan Grass 
The Wonderful Hay Crop 
One of the best annual forage 
plants ever introduced, suitable for 
almost any locality. Sudan Grass 
thrives best on rich loam, but has 
been successfully grown on almost 
every kind of soil, from heavy clay 
to light sand. Cold, wet, boggy soils 
are not suited to Sudan Grass. 
Sudan Grass is a sorghum, and an 
annual, without underground root 
sprouts. It grows 4 to 5 feet high in 
drilled seedings, and 5 to 8 feet in 
cultivated rows. Do not sow Sudan 
Grass before corn planting time. 
Like corn, it is a warm weather crop. 
In favorable seasons,. the growing 
period is long, and several cuttings 
can be obtained in one season. For 
hay it is ready to cut in 60 to 75 
days, when it is in full head. It con¬ 
tinues its growth, and in 40 to 45 
days it is ready for another cutting. 
Sudan Grass is an enormous 
ylelder, producing 3 or 4 tons of hay 
at the first cutting. The second cut¬ 
ting is lighter, and the hay is much 
finer. Live stock of all kinds will eat 
the hay readily. 
For hay, sow at the rate of 20 to 30 
lbs. per acre, using a grain drill, and 
cover from one to one and one-half 
inches deep. Heavy seeding makes 
finer quality hay. Postpaid, lb., 25 
cts.; 3 lbs., 60 cts.; 5 lbs., 90 cts. 
Not Prepaid, 10 lbs., 70 cts.; 25 lbs.,

1613 Sudau Gra.ss 
1627 Japanese Millet or Billion Dollar Grass 
(35 lbs. Bu.) 
All things considered, we call this the most valuable thing 
m our whole list of forage plants. We recommend it for the 
reasoris; First, it makes more hay than German 
Millet or any other. Second, although it grows so large, 
seven or eight feet high, the hay is of the most 
quality, superior to corn fodder. Third, it is 
Tf sections and a great success wherever tried. 
^ ground. Fourth, two crops a season 
^^rnnnv'^ hnlvioii”ripen, it will yield almost 
o T- ^ oats. Plant 20 to 25

(56 lbs. Bu.) 
A Most Profitable Crop. Quite different from Winter 
Rye; highly valued as a catch crop. It is not only more 
productive, but the grain is of finer quality, grown in 
any latitude. Straw is of special value as it stands 5 or 
6 feet high, being better than that of Winter Rye and 
producing nearly four times as much straw as Oats. 
Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain to the acre. As it 
does not stool like Winter Rye. not less than two bushels 
to the acre to he sown. Postpaid, lb., 22 cts.; 3

1658 Speltz or Emmer Bu.) 
A valuable grain, closely related to wheat: the ker- 
neis, however are tightly enclosed in the hulls or husk, 
and these adhere to the grain when it is threshed. It 
produces good crops even under adverse circumstances 
where other grain fails. It withstands more dry weather 
grain, and produces more food value 
j other cereal, while it is a most valu¬ 
able feed for all kinds of stock. It can be fed to 
horses, the same as oats, with the hulls on. Speltz can 
Pe grown c)n most any kind of soil, rich or poor, wet 
or dry, as it will not lodge like other grain because of 
the stiff and strong straw, and will always bring the 
^®turns. Sow 80 lbs. per acre. Postpaid,
