EARLY AMBER CANE.
Dairy farmers say that the Early Amber Cane is the most valuable fodder plant in existence for their use. It is profitably grown anywhere from Manitoba to Mexico, on any good corn ground, and is but little affected by drouth. It is of the very best quality, being sweet, tender, nutritious, and greedily eaten by catte, horses and hogs. Dairymen find that the cows will give more and richer milkfrom its use, and it is claimed that ten tons of green fodder have been grown per acre. Sow 100
pounds per acre for best results. Price subject to market change. Per lb. 20c, 3 lbs. 50c postpaid: by freight, 10 lbs. 50c, 25 lbs. 85c, 100 lbs. $[2.5?], 500 lbs. or more @ $2.25.
KENNEY' S IMPROVED AMBER CANE-Mr. Kenney, who originated and introduced the Minnesota Amber Cane about twenty-five years ago, has been quietly at work, selecting and improving it all these years, and we are pleased to offer seed of his own growing this year. This seed was grown in Central Minnesota, and we recommend it as the earliest and best. Per lb.25c, 3 lbs. 65c, postpaid; by freight, 10 lbs, $1.00, 25 lbs. $2.00; 50 lbs. $3.00; 100 lbs. $5.00.
EARLY SOJA BEANS.
Coffee Berry - Also Called Soy Beans.
During recent years this variety has been sold under the name of German Coffee
Berry at extremely high prices, but we prefer to offer it under its correct name. When roasted and ground it closely resembles coffee and tastes quite similar. Some mix half and half with coffee when using and claim it is superior. It is a valuable fodder variety either for feeding green or for the silo. Like the clovers it is a soil improver, deriving its nitrogen from the air. Plant in drills 2 or 3 feet apart and 1 foot between plants. Pkt. 5c, lb. 30c, 3 lbs. 75c, postpaid; by freight, pk. $1.00, bu (50 lbs.) $3.50.
The most popnlar and profitable fora~e plant in existence. The
demand for Dwarf Essex Rape Is increasing four-fold every year, and everywbere it gives the gl'eatest satisfaction. It Is easily grown everywhere
and is unsurpassed as a forage plant for hogs, cattle or sheep. They eat
It greedily and seem to Rrefer It to any other I?asture during the summer
and until late In the fall or early winter. It IS usually sown In June,July
