A WORD OF APPRECIATION
This makes the 49th year in which we iiave served Central New York people in helping them to make an annual success of their harvests.
The fact that the children and grandchildren of my fiist customers are now my regular patrons, proves that the house of Ebeling has not only won but has held the complete confi- dence of its customers.
For 49 years our policy has been to import, conti'act for and handle only the highest grade seeds, bulbs, and supplies for the farm, garden, greenhouse, lawn, dairy or poultry yard.
We wish to take advantage of this opportunity to thank you, the reader, for the kind words in our behalf that you have extended to your friends and neighbors. It is valued far more than the profits of the business to which it has contributed. As a result of your co-opera- tion, the year just passed has proved most successful.
Assuring you that my heartiest hope is that this, my latest Catalog and Seed Book will in turn more than do its share to make your 1917 the happiest and most prosperous of all years, I remain Tours very truly,
January 1, 1919. F. H. EBELING.

EBELING’S EXTRA LAWN GRASS MIXTURE
This mixture will insure a beaiuiful, compact, evergreen sod on any lawn where the essential requirements of grass culture have been complied with. Its component parts are the grasses peculiarly adapted lo lawns and door yards, including choice selected strains of Kentucky Blue, etc., along \^■ilh the best known creeping or sod forming sorts. We have included a little tvhite clo\ or in the mi.xiure, regarding it as essential. Full provision is made for a succession of growtli, so that there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure from spring until autumn, and experience proves that Ebeling’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture is now perfect. Nothing better can be purchased on the American market, no matter what claims may be advanced by other seedsmen. This is because we employ the choicest and heaviest, strains of grass seed in making the mixture. As to preparation of the soil, we recommend a thorough working and manuring to a depth of 8 or 9 inches, and a regular semi-annual application of top dressing afterward. It is a good practice to use Slieep Fertilizer and Ground Bone in the spring and fall; also, to renovate the lawn every spring with a little fresh Per lb. 30c. Special price for quantity.
How to Make a Lawn
Have soil thoroughly spaded up, enriched with commercial fertil- izer or well rotted man- ure, level and roll it well to make compact. Select a still, damp day for seeding; sow one- half of the seed from north to south and half fi’om east to west, rake it over and I’Oll again, when grass comes up re-.seed the bare spots. When grass is 2 inches high cut it, and as nec- essary thereafter. Don't rake up short clippings, as they make a good mulch. Always thor- oughh' soak a lawn when sprinkling, when- eve’’ re(juired, but never sprinkle lightly.

CANADA FIELD PEA
Is one of the very best soiling crops of the North. The most satisfactoi’y dairy result.s come from sowing it with oats. I’ye or baiiey. It makes good ensilage, and is an admirable food either green or drj^- for cattle, being highly nutritious and rich in milk-producing ele- ments. It is quite hardy and may be sown eaidy in the spring, and will be ready to cut in May or .Tune. The seed should be sown at the rate of 1 to IS bushels per acre.
BUCKWHEAT
Market price changes. Write for quantity prices.
Buckwheat is mostly used for filling in fields remaining unplanted after the middle of June. It is well to bear in mind that on worn-out soils a plowed under buckwheat field is a great soil fertilizer and improver. Sow 1 bushel per acre.

ROSEN RYE
This Winter Rye has a wonderful history, being brought by a Russian student from. Russia, who .gave a handful to Prof. Spragg of the Michigan Agricultural College, who produced from this small beginning the most prolific and wonderful Rye ever known in the United States. Rosen Rye produes a strong, vigorous straw, stools to a re- markable degree. The grain is large, plump, heavy and of beautiful color and commanding a premium on the market at all times over the common rye usually sowed. Less seed is required on account of its vigor, and one bushel to the acre will produce the best crops. Seed should not be swon until after the 10th of October. Rye is the strongest of all the grain crops, and will endure more cold and ill-ti*eatment than any other grain.

ALBERTA Cluster Oats
THE FAMOUS, HEAVY YIELDING, HARDY VARIETY FROM THE GREAT NORTHWEST
These oats were grown and shipped to us direct in car lots of about 2000 bushels, from that wonderful Alberta country of the Canadian Northwest. The soil is a deep, heavy, rich loam, free from foul weeds, and which produces the very best of all grain crops. These oats have captivated the modern grain-growing farmer in every part of the country because they have proved themselves a big success. It’s well ^own that seed oats grown in the Alberta country are unequaled in hardiness, height, yield, vigor, in freedom from rust and from foul seeds. Canadian growers are extremely careful in seed selection and the Canadian government, through its rigorous seed laws, has greatly benefited our American farmers. It is safe to say that a more profitable variety of oats was never offered before in Central New York.
The two main handicaps in the growing of oats are foul weeds and the sowing of degenerated oats. Both problems are solved by our Alberta Cluster Oats. The virgin soils of the Canadian northwest are as yet free from the many foul weeds that affect our farmers, and these oats constitute a remedy for the farmers who have had trouble with their annual yield because they have continued to sow run-out and rumdown sorts year after year. Alberta Cluster Oats compare with the majority of seed oats in the same way that a blooded Holstein compares with a common, scrub animal.
KERNELS MUCH FATTER— -WEIGH 45 POUNDS TO BUSHEL
These oats yield from 75 to 100 bushels to the acre. They have big, strong, stiff straws that stand up well on any ground. Their spangled heads are 12 inches long and ripen early.
The season of 1918 showed splendid results from our Alberta Cluster Oats, which have produced two or three times more than the common oats.
Here’s an opportunity for you to sell to your neighbors at. a good price these remarkable oats for next season. We suggest that you order early.
Price $2.50 per bushel. Special prices for large lots. Mr. F. H. Ebeling; Lysander, N. Y.
The Alberta Cluster Oats purchased of you last spring were more than satisfactory and yielded seventy bushels to the acre. There was at least five bushels per acre on the ground, owing to the fact that 1 was obliged to mow ihem with a mowing machine.
This shows the value of purchasing the “high quality Alberta Cluster Seed Oats.’’ My neighbors threshed from thirty to fifty bushels per acre, which indicates more clearly the value of your splendid ALBERTA CLT:'^STER OATS. Yours very truly,
F. M. CUDDEBEC. Seneca Falls, N. Y.
.Mr. F. H. Ebeling, Syracuse, N. Y.
Dear Sir: — Will say in regard to the “Alberta Cluster Oats” that I am very much pleased with them as they yielded beyond my expectation. I had 26 acres and had 1560 bushels, and weighed 40 pounds per bushel. The weather was bad to gather them and was obliged to cut them with the mowing machine and rake with a horse rake, and we *surely left 10 bushels per acre on the ground. Very truly yours, W. D. HILL.
Geo. A. Courbat, Mallory, N. Y., sowed 30 bushels of our Wonderful Alberta Cluster Oats and grew one thou- •sand bushels. This was a record-breaking oat crop for Oswego County, and which has never before been equaled.
. You are welcome to write any of the above, who will gladly verify the above.
TO PREVENT SMUT IN OATS. Formula— 1 pt. of forma- lin to 20 gal. of water, wet 20 bu. (or in that proportion) of oats with this solution, mix thoroughly by shoveling, then pile in a mound, cover up well with blankets, etc., for 12 hours. This forms a gas that will destroy the Smut germ. After 12 hours spread out the Oats to dry. They will then be ready for sowing.

I am mailing you one peck of Alberta Cluster Oats raised from the seed purchased from you last spring. 1 had one acre of these oats that I took extra care of, using 240 pounds of fertilizer and one ton of limestone. This acre yielded 91 bushels of fine Alberta. Cluster Oats. T expect to have fifteen acres of just the same as this one acre the coming season of 1919. Yours very truly. 1^. T.^. BEN.TAMIN.

.V'lr. F. H. Ebeling: Lebanon, N. Y., .Tan. 19, 1919.
Last spring 1 purchased 24 bushels of Alberta Cluster Seed Oats and threshed 934 bushels from this field. These oats were the best we have ever grown and yielded more than double over the ordinary varieties. Based upon th weight of over 40 pounds to the bushel, you can readily see that the yield is remarkably large. I would recommend the Alberta Cluster Oats to all farmers. The straw stands up strong and stiff thick meats and thin shells — valuable assets in oat raising, as well as money makers.

EBELING’S HIGH GRADE SEED CORN
Owing to the hot winds, much seed corn was spoiled. Care should be exercised by careful selection and testing.
Our pedigree contract grown Seed Corn is the very best that skill, experience and money could produce. , .
Our seed com growers are veterans in their line, and have grown gray In service ofserving to our farmers the very best of selected varieties, such as Pedigree Learning, Pride of North, Iowa Gold Mine, the Flint sorts. Sweet Corn, etc.
Our corn will grow 90 to 95% this season, and we will guarantee satis- faction to all who use our Pedigree Seed Corn.
A small eared, small kemelled yellow flint. Popular Compton Hiariy on account of its earlinesa and small kernels. Pofll- trymen, dove and pigeon growers like it for feeding purposes.
A most popular 6xtra early 8-row yellow flint Angel or lYllunigni com. Ears of medium size, a splendid yielder for one so early. If you want a corn that will stand June planting, select the “Angel of Midnight,” the farmer’s friend. Stalks of medium size.
I This is very well named, being the longest eared 8-rowed
l^ongieiiOW yellow flint corn known. It is strikingly handsome, me-
dium late and should be planted on rich soils. ' It is the most prolific of all the flint sorts. Very popular among corn raisers. Stalks are of good size.
This good old standard sort is one that has V^anaua OmUL lYOSe stood the test of time, and is as popular as ever. It is an 8-rowed medium late with a splash of a reddish blush over the tip of the ear.
splendid large long- eared 8-rowed sort
Sometimes called “Canada White Flint.”
with big white kernels, small cob, easy to husk and a great basket flller. One of the biggest yielding sorts known. Ripens rather late, likes rich soils, early planting, old-fashioned cultivating and hoeing, with the result that you have a growth like a young forest, and a yield fit for a king. Very popular in Northern New York.
^ splendid new variety. The largest and most pro- vauiucii lific yellow flint corn grown. Ears 12 to 14 inches
long, 8-rowed. It will outyield any other variety of flint corn. Over ninety bushels of shelled corn has been grown to the acre. Will mature in a normal season in New York State.
Pan yellow Dent, similar to
VYime L..ap I eilOW l-^em Huron Dent, except that it has a white capped kernel which makes it look like a white corn. The grain with this exception is a beautiful yellow. A splendid planting corn. Its earliness permits it to ripen in New York State.
Vaflv Hiivnn Dionf Dent varieties; ripening
^ith the flint sorts and can be grown in this State with good results. Color, beautiful golden yellow, ears of medium size and an excellent kind to use where flint corn results are looked for.

Bloody Butcher
Dent corn— as early as the Pride of North or the Flint varieties. The stock like it and one bushel will go ^ far as 1% bushels of ^her white or yellow varieties. Worms and birds do not bother Bloody Butcher very much and for that reason it is much sought after by the southern planter. Color deep cherry red with white cap, general- ly 14 rows on a small cob. Stalks medium height, fairly heavy.
Early Eureka, or Champion White Pearl
Early, thoroughbred White Dent. Ears average sixteen rows, with very small cob; ripens in 90 to 100 days from time of planting. Very productive, yielding fully as well as the Yellow Dent sorts.

We believe Pride of the North will mature farther north than any other Dent com. Strong, hardy, vigorous grower, can be planted thickly and still make good-slxed ears. For husking crop it ripens early, dries out quickly, and is an all around very satis- factory kind. Pride of the North hots a bright red cob, ears medium size, with deep kernel. Many of the stalks have two good ears. Price per bushel, $4.25.
IMPROVED LEAMINO
This variety was originated by a Mr. Learn- ing of Ohio and at once became a very popu- lar and well known variety. It is probably more largely used in the East than any other variety for ensilage or fodder purposes. Stalks grow to good size, nine to twelve feet, and produce ears nine to eleven inches long, containing from sixteen to twenty-one rows of dark golden yellow grains. It is a late variety and will not mature in the northern states, unless the season is very favorable, but it is early enough to make it very valua- ble for an ensilage corn. Price per bu., $4.SB.

LUCE’S FAVORITE DENT FIELD CORN
Luce’s Favorite, Minnesota King, Barly Triumph, Poor Man’s Dent. These four vari- eties are all one and the same thing.
This variety combines the best in the Western Yellow Dent and Eastern (White) Flint of which it is a hybrid. It combines all the good points in the family stock in that its stalks are tall, slender with many wide leaves. The ear has a long small cob filled with large broad dented kernels flattened out to the size of your finger nail. You can plant it as late as May 25th and it will ripen with ordinary seed Flint sorts.
You will find Lucie’s Favorite to be a strong growing bright yellow dented corn, which breaks off very easy in husking. It’s the heaviest yielder you ever saw, the stalks often have two or three ears. It’s extra good- for fodder as the leaves are very broad and long. Like all hybrid of this class there are from eight to twelve rows to the ear. We have seen a bushel shelled that weighed 34i pounds and equal to 69 pounds of shelled com to 2 bushels of ears. Price $4.50 bushel.

IOWA BOLD MINE ENSILA6E CORN.
The Deepest Grained, Purest Yellow Corn Ever Grown. Every Year This Corn Puts Thousands of Good Gold Dollars In the Pockets of Our Customers.
Every year you have read in our catalog the extraordinary things we have had to say about our Iowa Gold Mine Corn. Every year our confidence in it has increased, and our only wish is that we knew how to make a stronger plea for this, the king in the com family.
We honestly believe it is the biggest mar- ket producer and money maker on the Amer- ican continent.
This real wonderful variety of corn grrows 14 feet high and it matures with your field varieties. Of all ensilage corn known to modern seedmen this has the largest kernel and smallest cob. You will find the grain value to be almost double of the Learning or Pride of the North because of their immense cobs and small kernels. Iowa Gold Mine En- silage Corn possesses every desirable feature of the Learning and Pride of the North and in addition the great grain producing quality we have told you about.
We earnestly advise you, the reader, to sow this corn this year and we know that you will be as enthusiastic as we are about this world-winning corn. Price $4.25 Bu. SheHed.

EUREKA ENSILAGE CORN
The above picture shows a field of our GENUINE and CELEBRATED EUREKA ENSILAGE CORN; also the family of the grower, Mr. H, F. Daboll of Clyde, N. Y. This shows a wonderful growth of this celebrated variety which has produced such immense crops for our New York farmers. We are offering again our genuine Eureka Ensilage corn, which we have secured from our growers in Virginia, and is not to. be compared with the ordinary Southern Horse-tooth variety which is often substituted.
This Wonderful Variety of Ensilage Corn was originated and grown under special supervision on the bottom lands of Virginia. It is especially famous for abundant leaves and extreme height. Some of you will remember having seen this variety at our State Fair exhibit three years ago. The corn measured 19 ft. in height.
This season we have been fortunate in securing another carload of this won-^ derful corn.
As it is grown beyond the frost line it insures a perfect seed stock, as our short season does not allow it to mature and our Northern soil produces an extremely heavy growth of stalks and leaves, which makes it especially valuable ensilage and nearly double in quantity.
Bear in mind that this is the genuine Eureka, not the common Southern horse- tooth variety — and remember that our stock will be exhausted early.

Produces a wonderful growth of stalks, the tallest, most leafy and best for ensilage I have ever grown. — Isaac H. Broadhurst, Marcellus, N. Y.
Made a tremendous crop. — J. Grant Morse, Laurel Farm, Hamilton, N. Y.
Had two acres of Eureka corn and put in about 40 tons. — W. B. Sanborn, Ham- ilton, N. Y.
The Eureka corn we had of you this year was nearly shoulder high on July 19th and growing rapidly and will probably be 17 or 18 feet high when ready to put into our silo. We have used this for years and consider it one of the best for ensilage.
SEEBER BROS. Hastings, N. Y., Nov. 1st, 1916.
Mr. P. H. Ebeling.
Dear Sir: — I am pleased to say that the Eureka ensilage corn which I have had from you has proved more than satisfactory. The germination of the seed has been remarkably good, and the yield of corn for silage very satisfactory.
With our system of growing, the ears mature fairly well and make good sweet silage.
We are now cutting something over 160 acres of alfalfa each year. The first com- mercial seed which we purchased came from your predecessor, Mr. Perry, over 35 years ago, and we have had more or less seed from your store each year since. Th^ fact that we have continued to make our purchases from you surely indicates that we have been well pleased with the seed and with the service you have given us.

ALFALFA— THE BIG MONEY CROP
It has been said many times and in many different ways that there is more money In alfalfa than in other crops. However, large numbers of farmers have been discour- aged in growing alfalfa because of weeds and because they have taken chances with inferior seeds. The truth is that alfalfa is very seldom run out by weeds. It’s only the tender strains of seed that are affected. In Minnesota farmers even kill out Cana- dian thistle patches by seeding to alfalfa.
It’s poor economy to gamble with unknown alfalfa seed when you can sow the seed grown in the great Northwest and have the results insured.
You have been warned by the U. S. Department of Agriculture against the pur- chase of commercial Turkestan and other inferior alfalfa seed, and you should profit by their advice.
We have a carload of the famous western grown Alfalfa — Dodder free — which we do not hesitate to say is the finest ever received in Syracuse. We trust that our customers will avail themselves of this opportunity.
FOR DESTROYING DODDER IN ALFALFA FIELD
Use a spray consisting of four parts of water, one part of crude carbolic acid. Mix thoroughly in hot water. Spray this on the infected spots with an ordinary paris green sprayer. If necessary spray the second time. This will kill the dodder and save about 75 per cent, of the growing Alfalfa. I am indebted to J. C, Osborn, Port Byron, N. Y., for this valuable disicovery. — F.

USEFULNESS OF THE EARLY MEDIUM GREEN SOY BEANS.— Soy Beans have a higher protein content than oil meal. Hay from them has a higher protein content than ^ Alfalfa. The green fodder contains a higher protein content than either alsike or medium i red clover. Add to this the fact that it is easily possible to secure two or three, or occa- 1 sionally four to five tons of dry hay per acre; adds fertility to the soil fully as rapidly as the I clovers or other legumes; will grow on soil too poor or acid for Alfalfa.
Time of Planting and Cultivation — Prepare and cultivate the same as for corn, giving;,] frequent harrowings to kill the weeds. Wait until corn planting time before planting the beans. Plant in with the corn or in alternating rows. Sow % bushel to the acre. We advise 3 planting in drills about 36 inches apart, 2 or 3 inches in the drill.

Mr. Scoville has traded with us for over thirty years, and is one of the most successful .market gardeners in this vicinity.
My Dear Mr. Ebeling:
I have dealt with you for so many years that I can hardly recall when I have not done so. It is certainly over thirty years when we began and have continued to do so ever since. The reason why is, that we have always found your seeds to be reliable, true to name and of good vitality. On this account you have earned the splendid reputation that your store bears in the conamunity and wherever you do business. I would not be doing justice to myself, neither to you, were I to say anything different. Our success in gardening and farming depends so largely upon the seedsman that we could not afford to do business with a firm that failed us in these important matters.
You are welcome to use this letter in any way that you think best.
Very sincerely, FYank L. Scoville.

This is the greatest showing of Copenhagen Market Early Cabbage ever produced in this vicinity. We doubt if it has been equalled anywhere. This Cabbage was raised from our im- ported Denmark grown seed and is the same strain that Mr. Scoville has been so successful with in recent years. Coming so early it is the greatest money maker of all the cabbage family.

EXTRA RE=CLEANED GRASS AND CLOVER SEED
Nothing is more important to the farmer than that the grass seed he sows should be pure and clean. The seed should also be plump, heavy and well ripened, so as to Insure a good stand. First-class, thoroughly re-cleaned seed, while considerably more costly the first place, is really much cheaper in the end than the light, chaffy grades generally sold at much lower prices — even should the latter be free from weed seeds. Heavy, plump seed, germinating better, will produce a much greater number of strong plants.
SUDAN GRASS. Sudan Grass is strictly an annual, and dies each year like millet, and must be seeded again each spring. This makes it fit into any system of rotation and affords a change in crop, which is a good thing for the soil. Sudan Grass is tall, reaching a height of from seven to nine feet, with very small stems, no thicker than a lead pencil. The plant stools wonderfully, and produces an amazing number of stalks from a single root. The hay crop is of great importance; stock prefer it to any other forage, and thrive on it Produces good crops in time of drouth, and enormous ones in wet seasons. Price, 30c lb.

Bromus Inermis
BROMUS INERMIS. A hardy perennial, dark green soft grass, especially adapted to the dry and thinner soils. It forms a splendid grass for our Central New York farms, mak- ing fine pasture and good hay. It is one of the few really desirable grasses that can be depended upon for all around purposes. It is finer than Orchard Grass, sweet and nutri- tious, and sprouts out into fresh growth very naturally. Well adapted to high grounds, hills and sandy soil. It makes quick and strong growth, forming splendid pasturage and hay, ALL PRICES SUBJECT TO

It is. a hardy perennial, dark green, grows . on hills, dry and barren spots. It forms a splendid pasture and will grow where no other grass will thrive. Sow^ouble the quan- tity of Blue Grass. ^
ORCHARD GRASS. (Dactylis glomerata). This is one of the most desirable pasture grasses for stock, and also for producing large crops of hay. It succeeds well in quite shady places, hence the name of Orchard Grass. Choicest re-cleaned seed, 14 lbs. to the legal bushel— but our seed is heavier; 3 bushels to the acre. Per lb., 35 cts., post- paid; per bushel of 14 tbs., about $4.00.
TIMOTHY. (Phleum pratense). Of the easiest cultivation and with us is usually sown in connection with winter grain in the fall, to which a seeding of clover is added early in the spring. 45 lbs. to the bushel; from 12 to 16 to the acre. Per lb., 35 cts., postpaid; price per bushel, about $6.00.
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. As is well known, this is the grass for which the State of Kentucky is famous and frequently in some sections of the country it is used in making lawns, aitho.ugh it is preeminently a pasture grass. When Kentucky Blue Grass is used for lawn purposes, the seed is generally sown at the rate of two and one-half to three and one-half bushels to the acre, and if White Dutch Clover is desired, seed should be added at the rate of one-half pound to one bushel of grass seed. Kentucky Blue Grass thrives best in well-drained or limestone soils. Legal weight, fourteen pounds to the bushel, and for pasturage it is customary to sow two and one-half bushels to the acre. Our recleaned seed weighs 20 pounds per bushel, and hence less than two bushels are required per acre. Per tb., 35 cents, post- paid; per bushel of about 20 lbs., $4.50.
ENGLISH RYE GRASS. (Lolium perenne). This makes a quick growth very early In spring, and is adapted for cool, moist loca- tions, recommended for fall seeding on Ber- muda-grass lawns in the South, giving them a bright green appearance all winter. 24 lbs. to the bushel; 3 bushels to the acre. Per lb., 25c, postpaid; per bushel of 24 Tbs., $4.00.
ITALIAN RYE. (Lolium Italicum). This is distinct from , the preceding, being of much larger and stronger growth, with large broad glossy-green blades. It succeeds best in moist, fertile soils. About 20 lbs. to the bushel; 3 bushels to the acre. Per lb., 25c by mail, postpaid; per bushel, $4.00.
RED TOP OR HERD GRASS. (Agrostis vulgaris). It is a most valuable addition to sow with timothy and clover to form a close sward for pasturage. About 32 lbs. to the bushel; 1 bushel to the acre; for lawns, 3 bushels to the acre. Per Ib., 30c, postpaid; per bushel of 32 lbs., about $10.00.

JAPANESE MILLET. (Billion Dollar Grass.) Japanese Millet is one of the most re- markable forage plants we have; remarkable for its marvelous, luxuriant growth, often growing six feet tall; remarkable for the im- mense amount of hay it produces from each acre, and remarkable for its feeding value. It is adapted to all sections; does especially well on low ground; makes more hay than German or any other kind of millet, and re- quires less seed per acre; produces a crop In a very short time; Is relished as hay by stock of all kinds; or, if allowed to ripen, will yield about as many bushels per acre as oats. The seed can be used for feed, and is especially fine for poultry. Sow in May for best results, 15 to 20 pounds per acre. If desired for hay, cut just before It heads out; or It can be left to ripen and then threshed the same as tim- othy. Price $3.00 per bushel.
HUNGARIAN MILLET. (Panicum Ger- manicum) Seed can be sown early In July to produce a good crop of hay. To make the best hay it should be cut before the seeds become hard. 48 lbs. to the bushel; 1 bushel to the acre. Per bushel, about $4.00.
GOLDEN OR GERMAN MILLET. This is the favorite variety for planting in good land to produce a large crop of hay or forage during the summer months; of very strong growth. 50 lbs. to the bushel; 1 bushel to the acre. Tennessee grown. Per bushel, about $3.50.
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. A forage plant of highest value. It can be sown In April for an early crop, and for fall crop In July, Augpist and September, and still later further south; It is sown broadcast 10 lbs. to the acre, but it is better drilled, in which case 6 lbs. to the acre will suffice. In a few weeks from the
time of sowing, sheep, hogs or cattle can be turned upon it; all reports agree that they gain weight faster on this than any other fodder, and as it can be sown after other crops are off, the gain in fodder is secured at a nominal cost. Stockmen, dairymen and farmers have proved its value. Per Tb. 18c; 10 lbs. $1.75; bushel of 50 lbs. $7.00; 100 lbs. $12.00.
SORGHUM, OR EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE. This is the sorghum of the Northern States; makes the finest quality of syrup. The earliest and most productive variety. Height, 10 to 12 feet. For ensilage or fodder it pos- sesses good qualities; stock of all kinds relish it. Sow 6 lbs. in drills, or 1% bushels broad- cast to acre. Per Tb., 10c; bu. (56 Tbs.), $4.00. WINTER VETCHES, OR TARES (Vida Vll- losa). Also called Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Recommended for fall sowing with rye, which serves as a support. It Is perfect- ly hardy in all parts of the country, remain- ing green all winter and maturing fully four weeks earlier than Scarlet Clover; it can, therefore, be harvested or plowed under, and the ground used for the usual spring crop. Sow 25 lbs. with one bushel grain per acre. Price per bushel, $16.00.
CLOVERS
ALFALFA, DR LUCERNE. (Medicago sativa). It strongly resembles clover in habit of growth and feeding value, but with- stands drought much better. It is a perennial plant on well-drained soils, so that when once established, it will continue to produce large crops for twenty years when properly cared for, and on some of the rich western prairies yields four to five large cuttings In a single season. It must be cut every time it comes into bloom, and not allowed to pro- duce seed if permanence is desired. The plant is quite hardy, but will not succeed on low wet soils. Sow from 20 to 35 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 30c per lb; per bushel, $16.00.
ALSIKE OR HYBRID CLOVER. (Trifo- lium hybridum). The plant is perennial and very hardy, thriving equally well on wet or dry soils. The stems are more, slender and much taller than those of the Red Medium Clover, and thus much better adapted for growing with Timothy to produce a high grade of mixed hay. Sow at rate of 10 to 20 Tbs. to the acre. Per lb., 30 cts., postpaid. By express or freightrper lb., 30 cts.; 10 lbs. or more at 40c per Tb.
RED MEDIUM OR MAMMOTH. This is the common Red Clover so largely grown. We shall be pleased to quote prices at any time.
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER, (TrIfolium repens). This thrives in almost every soil and climate, succeeding equally well on heavy, moist land and thin, dry hillsides. It is of low- creeping growth and for green, velvety lawns. Per Tb. 70c postpaid; by ex- press 65c per lb.
SWEET CLOVER BOKHARA (Melllotus Alba). This slightly resembles Alfalfa In growth, but is much taller, with leafier and stlffer stems. It frequently grows five to six feet in height and branches freely, with slen- der spies of small, fragrant, white fiowers, which afford an excellent food for bees. Used also for inoculating Alfalfa soils. Per Tb. 40c.
CRIMSON OR ITALIAN CLOVER. (Tri- folium incarnatum). An annual variety pro- viding large crops of green forage, or If cut while in bloom will make excellent hay. It should not be allowed to grow too old, or the seed-heads are liable to cause hair-balls to form in the animals’ stomachs, to their great injury. It is for use as a green manure and cover crops that this plant Is most highly esteemed. It improves poor lands and restores to fertility those worn by excessive culture. Seed should be sown early in August. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Per Tb. 30c.
INOCULATION of these Clover Seeds means a stronger catch and better yield — see page 57.

THE RUSSET POTATO
THE RUSSET IS A LATE POTATO of mar- velous, robust habit of growth, the rich dark green vines cover the ground even when planted three feet apart each way, and in a dry season. Vines free from blight and not bothered with bugs. No potato known can match it in this respect. Yields enormously, producing six, eight, ten, and even twelve large-sized, round, shapely, white tubers, equal to the Rurals, Carmen or Raleigh, but a much larger producer. This potato • is completely covered with a beautiful russet skin, and baked or boiled equal or su- perior to the best potato you ever ate. A trial of the RUSSET POTATO would convince you of the facts as stated above.
The best baking sbrt ever grown.
It is the easiest to grow and of remarkable blight and drouth resisting qualities. Vines stand erect when growing, thus making an extra cultivation possible over the white sprout types.
This marvelous Russet Potato is free from scab, blight and rot, being one of the very few potato fields that passed the rigid inspection by the New York State Food Supply Com- mission.
We are fortunate in being able to offer this lot of Improved Russet Potatoes for seed, and urge our farmers and gardeners to order early before the stock is exhausted.

Use a spray consisting of four parts of water, one part of crude carbolic acid. Mix thoroughly in hot water. Spray this on the infected parts with an ordinary paris green sprayer. If necessary spray the second time. This will kill the dodder and save about 75 per cent of the growing Alfalfa. I am indebted to J. C. Osborn, Port Byron, N. Y., for this valuable discovery. — F. H.

Culture — Sow early m spring in rows one foot apart; when one year old the roots may be taken up and transplanted in permanent beds, which should be made by taking out the soil to a depth of about 16 inches, fill in with six inches of well rotted stable manure, then six inches of soil somewhat firmed, and place the roots on the same about 10 inches apart with the roots well spread out and cover so that the crown will be about four inches below the surface. Keep the surface well raked to keep down the weeds until the shoots appear.

Bohnen (Gr.) BEANS Dwarf WaX Varieties Faglnoll (It.)
Culture— Beans should not be planted until the ground is warm, as cold and wet weather wiU cause the seed to rot. For garden culture plant four or five seeds in hills one foot apart, and the ipws 18 inches apart. For field culture make the rows three or three and one-half feet apart, and cover with two inches mellow soil. Do not hoe or cultivate while the plants are wet with dew or rain, as getting the leaves bespattered with earth causes rust, which injures the crop.

CABBAGE, Kopf-Kohl
Y.
It is difficult to give definite cultural directions for cabbage, since it is possible to have good cabbage at all seasons of the year in some part of the country, and seed can be planted almost any time of the year. There are three good seasons for sowing the seed, however — in September for late Winter and early Spring cabbages, in March for Summer and Fall cabbages, and in June and July for winter cabbages. The seed bed should be thinned early, or the plants become spindling, and do not head well. Transplanted to the field, they should be put twelve inches apart, in rows eighteen inches apart. To prevent the heads splitting open in the field before they are ready to b harvested, the plants should be loosened a little at the root. Cabbages require considerable moisture, but too much water causes them to rot very readily.

The Cauliflower delights in a rich soil and an abundance of water. Sow seed for an early summer crop in February or March in a hotbed. When plants are three or four inches high, transplant four Inches apart in boxes or frames. In the middle of the spring or as soon as deemed prudent, the plants may be removed to open ground. Set plants from 2 to 2% apart each way. For late Cauliflower sow the seed in a cool moist place about June 1st.

Sellerie (Gr. CELtKY Sedano (It.)
CULTURE. — Celery seed is slow to germinate, and ample time must be given. Sow thinly; cover lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on about 7,500 plants per ounce of seed, or % pound per acre. When the seedling plants are 3 inches high they should be clipped at the top, to favor stocky growth, or else transplanted. Celery is mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches, in rows 4 feet apart, 6 inches apart in row. For home use celery is often grown in double rows, 10 inches apart, without trenching, and banked for winter storage just where It grows, without lifting.

Plants of medium size, compact and stocky — ^with yellowish green foliage. As they mature the inner stems and leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow, so that blanching Is effected at a small expense of time and labor. For beauty, color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringedness, added to a fine nutty flavor — It has no eqeual among the celery family.

Welschkorn (Gr.) SWEET CORN Mais d*-)
A rich, warm, alluvial soil is the best, but excellent sweet corn can be raised on any good, ordinary soil, if it is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. In the North sweet com should be planted as early as can be done without risking great loss from frosts or from rotting of the seed in the soil. If planted in rows, make the rows about three and one- half feet apart and place the seed fourteen to sixteen inches apart in the row, covering ome inch deep with fine soil firmly pressed down. If planted In hills, rnake the hills for the eany varieties three feet apart each way and plant six kernels to the hill. For the later sorts the hills should be not less than three and one-half feet apart each way. Hoe irequently, and when six inches high leave three or four plants in the hill. Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation until the tassels appear.

have tested many samples of Evergreen corn that were claimed C«ariy £«vergreeu to be earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen and to be just as good, but we have never found any of them so valuable as the stock of this variety we offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come into fit condition for use much earlier than Sto well’s Evergreen and to remain in condition quite as long. Ears about seven inches long, with fourteen to twenty more or less irregular, rows with very deep grain which is of the very best quality. Plants average from six and one-half to seven feet high and in ear resemble those of Stowell’s Evergreen, but differ in earliness and we think are more uniform.

standard main crop variety excels all other late sorts kjLUWCli o l-iVcrgrccii jn sweetness and productiveness. It is more popular than any other for canning, for marketing and for the home garden. Great care has to be exer- cised in the selection of stock to grow seed from, as this variety has a tendency to deteriora- tion and a shorter grain, which makes it less sugary and desirable. We have a large and growing trade among canners and market gardeners who must have a genuine Sto well’s Evergreen, and our stock is known as the safest for all purposes.

Kopfsalat (Gr.) LETTUCE Lohuga (It.)
CULTURE. — Lettuce thrives gn nearly all soils, but because the growth should at all times be rapid to insure crispness and best flavor, the soil should be heavily enriched and well worked before planting. Lettuce being quite hardy, seed may generally be sown as soon as ground can be fitted, as, while prolonged or continued freezing will kill the plants, they are but little injured by an ordinary frost. Seed may also be sown in the hotbed in gentle heat, and the plants, if well hardened by having been often exposed to the air, may usually be set In the open ground very soon after the time suggested for sowing seed outdoors.

These melons have sold at wholesale from 35 cents to $1.50 on Eastern Markets. The rind is a dull white when ripe. Part of the melon shows a slight check in the rind like a tendency to net. This appears when the melon is ready to pick. The size runs from six to seven inches in diameter from top to bottom, and eight inches in length. The matured melons are practically all of the same shape and size. Flesh is a light green and is almost honey sweet. This melon is the best of all shippers and will keep several weeks, so there is practically no loss from spoiled melons in shipping. This is one of the best market melons grown.

MUSHROOM
The Mushroom is an edible fungus of which there are numerous varieties. We handle the ordinary commercial variety of a creamy white color with loose gills which undem«ith are of pinkish-red, changing to liver color. The mushroom produces “seed” or spores and there is developed a white, fibrous substance in broken threads, called spawn, which is developed and preserved in horse manure, pressed in the form of bricks. Mushrooms can be grown in cellars, in sheds, in hotbeds or sometimes in the open air, the great essential being a uniform degree of temperature and moisture. Our space is too limited here to give the necessary cultural directions, but these are published in book or pamphlet form.
^ newly discovered process of selection rure I^Uinire iviusnroom opawn and grafting, the spawn is scientifically prop- agated so that large, vigorous and finely flavored mushrooms are reproduced.

The young seed pods are used in soups, stews, catsups, etc. Highly esteemed in the South. After danger of frost is past, the ground being warm and in good condition, plant in rows about two and one -half feet apart, covering with about an inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. When about three inches high, thin to about one foot apart in the row. Culti- vate and keep free from weeds. The pods are in best condition for use when from one to three inches long.
has been cultivated with hoed crops, kept clean from weeds and well manured for two years previous, because if a sufficient quantity of manure to raise an ordinary soil to a proper degree of fertility is applied at once, it is likely to make the onions soft. The same result will follow if we sow on rank mucky ground or on that which is too wet, and it is impossible to raise either a large or profitable crop on stiff clay, very light sand or gravel.
PREPARATION. — Onions respond well to very liberal manuring. As much as forty loads of stock manure well composted or one ton of high grade commercial fertilizer per acre needed will vary with the soil, the seed used and the kind of onions desired. Thin seeding gives much larger onions than thick seeding. Four or five pounds per acre is the ^ usual quantity needed to grow large onions. We prefer a drill that sows a very close row.
CULTIVATION. — As soon as the young plants can be seen in the rows give a shallow working either with rake or some other tool that pulverizes well the whole top soil. Work the crop again in k few days with a hoe or tool that cuts the ground over, this time as closely as is possible to the row without injury to the young plants; follow as quickly as possi- ble with a thorough hand weeding.
Grows to an immense size and for fall marketing is unexcelled. Although r of such great size, it is very hardy and a fair winter keeper, as it ripens

CULTURE. — Sow seeds in shallow drills in the early Spring for border, or in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, care being taken that the drills be not more than one-half inch in depth, and that the seed be well pressed down after sowing, as the seed germinates very slowly, three to five weeks elapsing sometimes before it makes its appearance. Use one ounce to 150 feet of drill, three pounds to an acre. Cultivate frequently.

PEAS
Piselll (It.)
For early peas the soil should be light and warm, but for general crop a moderately heavy soil is better. Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky soil should be avoided, as they cause a rank growth of vine at the cost of the quality of the peas; such soil is often th« cause of early sorts maturing unevenly. Sow as early as possible a few of some early variety on warm, quick soil, prepared the fall before, planting in double rows six to eight inches apart and two and one-half to four feet between the double rows. The general crop can be delayed until later, but we have met with better success from sowing all the varieties comparatively early, depending for succession upon selecting sorts that follow each other In maturity. The peas will give quick-er returns if covered only one inch deep and where earli-^ ness is most important they may be treated in that way. Larger pods and more of them will be produced if the seed be planted in trenches three to six inches deep and covered with only one or two inches of soil; when the plants are five or six inches high fill the trench level with the surface; -this will secure deep rooting, prevent mildew and prolong the bearing season. I If the peas be covered to the full depth at first, or if water be allowed to stand in the trenches, they will not germinate or grow well. All varieties growing more than one and one-half feet do better if staked up or brushed when four to six inches high. The support is an invaluable variety for market gardeners and canners.

The summer varieties come into use early in the summer, but b^ing sensitive to frost the seed cannot be sown until late in April. The seed should be planted In hills four feet apart, using four ounces to 100 hills. The winter varieties are also unable to resist frost, a»d should be planted at the same time. The fruit does not mature until late In the fall, and, having a very firm, hard shell, keeps well, and with a little care squashes can be had an winter and until late in the spring. In gathering winter squashes, it is important to protect the stems, since if broken off the fruit will not keep so well. Plant in hills six to eight feet apart, using two or three seeds to the hill. Use eight ounces to 100 hills, or two pounds to an acre. Moderately rich soil will grow good squashes.

Fruits oblong in form, eight to ten inches In lengtl^ slightly ridged, smooth thin yellowish skin; flesh very thick and of a light straw yellow. If gathered young for cooking, no other squash approaches it in flavor, while if allowed to ripen 6n the vine they can be stored and will keep in excellent condition until late the following June. Either for baking like sweet potatoes or making pies during the winter the quality Is unsurpassed. Oz. 15c, lb. $1.50.

As tomatoes are very sensitive to frost, they cannot be set in the open field until about May 1st. The seed must be sown in well protected hotbeds, sowing same about March 1st. A hardy and stocky plant is had by transplanting the small plants in the bed a few weeks before transplanting to the field. Or when about four inches high, the top may be pinched off and the plant grows stoclder.
Sow the seed broadcast, using one ounce to about three square feet of area, which will yield plants enough to set an acre. In the field set tall varieties six feet apart and dwarf varieties three feet apart. A slight trellis is advisable in the garden. A moderate amount of water should be applied at the roots at regular intervals.

TURNIPS
Pastinaca (It.)
While turnips are a favorite fall and winter vegetable, they may also be had in the spring by proper sowings. They are of easy culture, but need well-worked, rich soil to insure a quick, uninterrupted growth, when they will be tender and free from woodiness.
For fall and winter use sow the seed in August, in rows 10 to 18 Inches apart, using oiM ounce to 260 feet of row, thinning the plants when very young to three or four inches apart For spring use sow in January. For field culture sow in rows about two feet apart, using one to three pounds of seed per acre.

FOOD WASTE AND SEED SHORTAGE
This year waste is not merely a misfortune — ^it is a calamity. With the world’s reserves of food and seeds at the lowest ebb in many years, no one has a right to waste food, either actual or potential. Potential food waste includes failure to make a garden where a garden ought to be made. It includes also two other mistakes; making a garden too big to work successfully and planting any seeds but the best obtainable. This year avoid waste by having your garden small enough to enable you to see it through and by planting pure-bred seeds only. Have the yield worth while both in quantity and quality. Plant Ebeling’s seeds. The best is always the cheapest regardless of price.

MASTICA FOR GUZIN6 6REENH0USES, SASHES,
Etc., new and old. It is elastic, adhesive and easily applied. It is not affected by dampness, beat or cold.
Every green house m»n has experienced difficulty in using putty for glazing, that is satisfactory for any length of time. Putty is not adapted for greenhouse work. “Mastica,” when applied, in a few hours forms a skin or film on the entire mass, hermetically sealing the substance, and pre- venting the evaporation of the liquids, and remains in a soft, pliable and elastic condition for years. “Mastica” is of great value in going over old houses with a putty bulb or machine on the outside of sash, as it makes it perfectly tight and saves the expense of re-laying the glass.
The use of ‘’Mastica” avoids the necessity of repeatedly reglazing the houses, saving mueh time and expense. With “Mastica” you can bed in or use outside with machine.
Broken glass can bo easily removed and replaced by new without the breakage of other glass, which usually occurs with hard putty. One gallon will cover about 290 running feet (one si4e.)

The Greatest Insecticides
LIME AND SULPHUR— PYROX— ARSENATE OF LEAD
Every spring when the buds are swelling, but before they show green at the tips, all your fruit trees, vines and shrubs of every kind should be sprayed with our Bowker’s Lime-Sulphur AppU- eations made later than this may burn the foliage and cause serious injury. Therefore you should order early and be prepared for the season.
Eiime-Slalpliar is not a poison and kills only by coming directly in contact with the insect. It does not kill leaf-eating insects. Spray for these with our Pyrox.
Our Lime-Sulphur has fungicidal properties and is Invaluable for use on peaches, plums and all stone fruits.
It’s in concentrated solution, always ready for Fall, Winter and Spring use. You simply add spring water and then spray.

PYROX— KILLS AND CURES
Pyroz sticks like paint; kills all leaf-eating insects, and pre- vents disease on potatoes, fruit trees, shade trees, and small fruits and vegetables. It serves the purpose for which two mixtures were previously used, and has done so for over ten years. Pyrox is no experiment ; it was introduced in 1898.
It Won’t Wash Off. If it were not for the new growth coming along, as- is usually the case with shade trees, fruit trees, shrubs, potato vines, etc., and which of course must be protected, one spraying would be enough for the season, tb. 35c, 5 Tbs. $1.50, 10 Tbs. $2.50, 25 Tbs. $6.00, 50 Tbs. $11.00, 100 Tbs. $20.00, 300 Tbs. $57.00.

Small Cost Large Returns Easy to Use No Labor Expense
Mulford CixltTires eontain pure, tested strains of active, vigorous nitrogen-fixing bacteria, for inocu- lating seeds of legumes or soil.
Mulford Cultures are scientifically prepared and tested witlithe utmost care and skill. Enormous numbers of these very valuable and desirable bacteria are thus available to you in every. package of Mulford Culture and may readily be applied to your seed. The sealed bottle insures purity.
Legumes offer the best-known means of maintaining soil fertility and rejuvenating over-cropped. and worn-out fields. They add both humus and nitrogen to your soil and thus increase your yield of wheat, cotton, corn and other non-legume crops.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture and many State Agricultural Experiment Stations recommend inoculation of legumes with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to induce a prompt “catch” and increase your yield.

UNITED STATES CREAM SEPARATORS
To ozdar^e the income from your dairy you must InstaU modem equipment, such as the United States Cream Separator.
The laterlockln* U. S. Separator has NICKEL SILVEK skimming sections which are guaranteed to never rust.
The MECHANICAL WASHER furnishes the most complete and quickest method of washing.
The U. S. Cream Separator with Its Improve- ments Is a SANITARY MARVEL. Important new features make the BEST Separator still BETTER— the MOST PERFECT ever produced anywhere by anybody.
A great SANITARY feature Is the new REMOV- ABLE LINER for bowl chamber. It Is non-rusting and easy to wash. Milk, even in the smallest quan- tity, coming In contact with cast Iron makes all other Separators unsanitary. The liner, exclusively a U. S. feature, prevents milk contact absolutely.
A new feature is the AUTOMATIC OIL CON- DUCTOR which conveys fresh oil from the neck bearing to gear chamber and with its DUST SHIELD serves a dual purpose by keeping all for- eign matter, dust, etc., from the gear chamber and lower bearing, adding years to the life of a Sepa- rator and permitting the machine to always run as easy as when new.
A U. S. Cream Separator will make you the most money, because It skims the closest. It holds the World’s Record for closest skimming In fifty consecutive runs with milk from ten different breeds of cows.

THE JAMES STALLS AND STANCHIONS
The man who depends on his cows for his living, must take advantage of every opportu- nity to save the time of his hired help and his own time; to prevent waste of feed: to avoid disease of all kinds; and he must use every proper means of increasing the yield of milk, and of getting a bigger price for his product.

THE JAMES WAY James Watering Buckets
Every daiiyman now realizes that regardless of how well the cow may be fed and cared for in every other way, the maximum yield of milk cannot be secured unless she has plenty of water. The old way of watering once a day out in the yard is the most expensive that could be devised. The cows become very thirsty, and drinking excessively of cold water, become chilled, and are forced to use up energy getting warm that should have been used in making milk. But the increase of milk yield is not the only advantage. There is also the saving of time and labor of the attendants, and, as compared with other methods of watering in the barn, a saving of water. More important is the prevention of the spreading of con- tagious diseases through the water, for with the James Watering Buckets each cow is fur- nished pure, fresh water, direct from the protected supply tank.
THE JAMES CARRIERS
James Carriers are “long life” carriers — built to stand the strain and wear of years — made to forestall breakages and repairs — made to save the maximum of work and time. "We are proud of them, believing that each is the best that can be built to meet the specific pur- poses for which it is designed. And in this belief, we are backed up by hundreds of enthusi- astic, commendatory letters.
The James Ventilator
The James Ventilator is absolutely storm proof — neither snow nor rain can enter; nor can birds get in, all openings being covered with galvanized bird proof netting.
The James Ventilator with the open base, ventilates the haymow as well as the stable.
Can’t Afford It
One of the most powerful of all evil influences affecting the cause of good farming is the state of mind in the farmer that is constantly saying “I can’t afford it.” It begets a state of unbelief in better things, better methods, better cattle, and all kinds of farm stock, better buildings and better homes.
Before a farmer can take the first step towards Improvement he has to overcome this ghost that is constantly before his eyes, “I can’t afford it.” He never sees the real truth behind that delusion which is, that he cannot afford to do anything except in a thorough and painstaking manner.
“CAN’T AFFORD IT” has kept thousands of The James Way farmers with their noses down to the hard grindstone
of bad, wasteful methods; poor, unprofitable live stock; bad methods of soil cultivation.
In short, it Is the spirit that Is OPPOSED to more than It Is in favor of. AND IN ’THAT SPIRIT NO FARMER EVER DID GO AHEAD.”— From Hoard’s Dairyman.
CowmatiC Self-Filling, Self-Emptying Fountains
The CowmatiC Fountains are at- tached directly to the pipes of your water system just the same as an ordinary basin, sink or bath tub, and therefore does away with the float tank.
They are made single and double, yet each cup of the double fountain IS independent and separate, ena- bling j'ou to set up and connect two individual cups at one operation.
Each cup has a lid to keep trash ■out, and is connected with an inlet and outlet valVe within each cup.
Raising the lid closes the outlet and at the same time opens the in- let valve, while closing the lid ■closes the inlet valve and opens the outlet valve. The lid controls the water and the cow controls the lid on each inlet valve no matter what ^e pressure may be in the pipes. The supply inlets are above the highest water level in the cups. Each bucket contains an overflow outlet, so no water can run over the sides onto the floor. These fountains enable each cow to turn clean fresh water into a clean fresh cup from which she can drink at any time. Besides furnishing an abundance of clean fresh water from clean, fresh, self- emptying cups, the CowmatiC Fountains ab- solutely prevent the spread or con- traction of tuberculosis or other •diseases through the drinking.

DEERE CORN PLANTER
A Corn Planter is absalutely worthless un- less it will plant your corn accurately. The John Deere No. 999 will do this. Field trials and tests under varying conditions have proven conclusively that the John Deere No. 999 Planter is the most perfect variable drop Com Planter made. The variable drop con- sists of a train of gears constantly in mesh whereby two Or three kernels can be planted, as desired, by merely shifting the foot lever. The John Deere No. 999 is a full variable drop Planter both for hilling and drilling, as it also varies the distance in drilling, giving a greater variety of distances than the ordinary planter without the use of extra sprockets and plates. A very simple and highly efficient machine* Complete with Fertilizer Attachment. Price $102.00. Less Fertilizer Attachment, $79.00.

DOUBLE ACTION DISC HARROW
The farmer who realizes the importance of stirring and pulverizing the soil so that the sun and air and moisture can reach every particle is the man to whom the CLARK’S CUTA- WAY Double Action — the original double action — means something more than just a disk harrow. No other disk harrow of any make or style even approaches the CLARK’S CUTA- WAY Double Action for pulverizing the soil, for saving time, for saving horses, for giving long service. Its superiority for pulverizing the soil and giving long service has seldom been questioned.
The rigid main frame is the all-important feature in any double acting harrow. This frame holds the rear gangs so that the rear disks cannot slew to the furrows cut by the fore disks, but instead cut midway between where the fore disks have cut, thereby making the machine pulverize every inch of the soil to the full depth to which the disks run.
The distance from the hitch to the extreme rear end of the harrow is but a little more than one-half of that on the tandem or trailing harrows, which fact makes the draft from 25 to 50 per cent, less than in other harrows of corresponding size. By the elimination of the tongue truck we save the buyer from $4.00 to $5.00.

John Deere-Dain System Rake
The Dain System of air curing hay is a distinct departure from the old method. It has six tre- mendous advantages which every farmer should carefully consider:
1st. Ability to follow mower closely.
2nd. Raking while leaves are still active.
3rd. Placing the hay on clean stubble.
4th. Putting the hay in medium size windrows, with the bulk of the leaves inside and the majority of the stems outside.
5th. The adjustment of the teeth for the condi- tion and kind of hay, making the windrows loose in the center for free circulation of air.
6th. Preserving the form of the loose windrow until the hay is ready to store or bale, even though it may be necessary to turn it over two or three times on account ©f bad weather conditions.

STORY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BAR
The Universal Sickle was invented by a man who was employed on a great farm in the Northwest. He noticed in his daily work in the fields the crudeness and inefiiciency of the riveted type of bar in use at that time. He noticed that it was necessary to keep a small blacksmith shop almost continuolly busy on- repair work, re-riveting blades, and tightening up the loosened bars. He noticed that it was impossible to grind the blades of the bar clear to the heel, and the result was an uneven cut. He noticed that oftentimes if one blade became chipped or broken, as a result of sudden strain or running onto a rock, that two or three of the adjacent blades were loosened. He noticed that the riveted bar had a tendency to buckle or get out of shape and cause an unnecessary amount of work on the part of a team of horses or of a motor on a tractor.
HAY CAPS — Insurance Against Wet Weather
The value of keeping your hay dry, and especially. Alfalfa was sharply empha- sized during the past season of excessive rains, owing to the heavy losses suffered by our Alfalfa growers in this county, and which ran up into many thousands of dollars; also proving to be a heavy annual loss due to uncertain weather conditions. To illustrate* how such losses can be controlled, we need only to refer to the Univer- sity Farms, when apparent that heroic, measures must be used, the Chancellor used five hundred hay caps which we ordered by express. This quick action saved the University from a heavy loss and all of their hay was saved without damage to the Alfalfa, and which cured perfectly under this cover.

UNADILLA SILO
Unadilla Silos not only excel in ability to convert raw forage into palatable, succulent silage — the supremest test of a perfect Silo — but a decade of satisfactory service on thou- sands of farms has unmistakably proved them correct in design, durable in construction and convenient to fill or feed from.
Roof is made of durable cypress, capped with galvanized iron ventilator, and fitted with double doors for filling Silo.
Top steel cable anchors, connecting with the middle hoop of Silo through an equalizing saddle attached to the ground rod, prevents vibration during high wind storms.
Fasteners being entirely on the doors permits of the latter being left in the opening at any height, merely pushed up out of way and conveniently at hand for use.
The unobstructed continuous door opening, 22 inches wide, enables the feeder to shove ensilage out of Silo, instead of fork- ing it up two or more feet to clear high doors or cross-braces.
Instead of having to refit the doors to frame, should they ever shrink or bind, a few turns of the nuts on ends of tie-rods readjusts frame to fit the doors.
Every hoop on Silo can be taken up 12 inches at the front, the nuts being close by to a man standing on ladder formed by the door fasteners.
The door fasteners make a substantial ladder directly under opening. Rounds are 15% inches apart, stand out 5 inches from the doors and are 14 inches wide, providing a safe hand and foot hold.
Base anchors of steel cable hold Silo immovable on its foundation.

THE OSBORNE WINDROW HAY LOADER
The Osborne is a remarkably simple loader — in fact, it would be difficult to imagine a more simple loader. The entire mechanism of this loader consists of a gathering drum, which picks up the hay, and and elevator carrier, the elevator carrier is operated by the gathering drum.
The gathering drum is fastened to the main axle and is driven by both wheels. As a result of this construction, the gathering drum is raised and lowered with the wheels in pass- ing over dead furrows and uneven ground. This insures all the hay being gathered Irre- spective of the condition of the ground. A wind break is provided, which prevents the hay from being blown from the carrier; the wind break is very effective and automatically adjusts itself to different conditions of hay. A tightening device allows the tension of tl» carrier to be properly adjusted. The Osborne loader is equipped with a fore carriage which carries a part of the weight of the loader. This relieves the loader of the twists and strains which would result were no fore carriage used. It also makes it unnecessary for the loader to be lifted when being connected to the wagon, as the hitch may be moved to any position. It permits the driver to disconnect the loader from the wagon without requiring him to get down off the load. When the load is complete he simply pulls the rope which extends up to the top of the load from the hook on the fore carriage. When disconnected from the wagon the loader Is held in an upright position by the fore carriage. Loader can be used with any height of farm wagon without any readjusting or changes. ASK FOR PRICKS
THE NEY
CLIMAX OPEN THROAT CARRIER^
With this carrier, it is possible to fill the mow closer to the comb of the roof than with any other carrier on the market. The throat has an exceptionally large opening, and the simple looking mechanism is so ar- ranged that the lifting head or pulley looks directly on the sides or frame of the carrier, not depending on separate dogs or locks to hold the load. It is con- structed and operated without the use of springs, and aegages projections upon lifting pulley in a line with axis of pulley. This permits the pulley to swing very near the track and enables the carrier to work under conditions where any other carrier would necessarily

FLEXIBLE FRAME LAND ROLLER
Runs smoothly with light draft and turns square corners.
Rolls out dead furrows easily and effectively.
Follows uneven surfaces and rolls the hollows as well as the high places.
Rolls all the ground — no strips left between sections.
Rolling a Dead Furrow.
In this hillside field, sloping in two directions, a dead furrow was plowed to afford drainage.
This, after several years, has been widened and deepened to a shallow channel. No plan of rolling such a field with an ordi- nary rigid roller would give sat- isfactory results without much extra work. Notice how the Flexible Roller goes down the field adapting itself to the un- even surface and rolling every inch of ground. 3 section, 9 ft, steel frame, steel face, $45.00.
Former Congressman Hon. John R. Clancy of this city, who owns a large farm near Skaneat- eles, N. Y., is using one of these splendid rollers.

LOW 20TH CENTURY MANURE SPREADER
The Low 20th Century is a low down Spreader and has all the advantages that go with a spreader of loW-down construction. However, the Low 20th Century has overcome the one great objection in low-down spreaders in that it has sufficient clear- ance space under the machine to allow it to be used advantageously any place from which and in which a load can be drawn. The driver absolutely gives no attention to the clearance feature. The Low 20th Century is high enough to pass over any obstruc- tion that one would attempt to drive over under ordinary conditions.
The Low 20th Century is manufactured in four sizes. There is a size adapted to the small truck farm, as well as one for our largest farms.
The Low 20th Century Spreader is strong because it is built of steel; the con- trolling levers, and even the seat, are steel.
The only wood entering into the construction of the Low 20th Century is in the sides of the box, the apron slats, the tongue and beater rails. The Low 20th Century Is built for service and durability; this is the reason for so much steel being put into it.
The Low 20th Century spreads evenly on the turns; it has a differential similar to that found in the hub of the Osborne Mower wheel, which allows one wheel to hold the pivot while making short turns without affecting the action of the beaters.

CROWN LIME AND FERTILIZER BROADCASTERS
CROWN Broadcasters are constructed princi- pally to sow Lime; they also handle perfectly all kinds of fertilizers and other soil beneficiar- ies. All soil can be made more productive either by the application of some form of Lime to neutralize the free acid therein, or by the appli- cation of some other alkaline or in some cases an acid element to complete the neutral condi- tion. Most plants are adapted by long practice to grow in soil that is approximately neutral.
CROWN Broadcasters are strong machines. Box rooms ten bushels. Force feed is attached directly on the main drive axle. No gears to freeze, strip or break. Ratchet wheels. Quan- tity can be changed instantly by one lever in center of hopper. Price $45.00 to $55.00.

The Farmers’ Favorite is used for a great variety of purposes, such as cooking grain and vegetables for stock and poultry. Heating water for scalding hogs and poultry. Boiling spraying mixture. Heating water on wash day. Heating water for washing dairy uten- sils. Rendering lard and tallow, sorghum.
Heating drinking water for stock. Syruping down. Boiling elder. Preserving and evaporating fruit. Sugaring off. Boiling sap. In addition to the above, by using a top plate in place of the boiler it converts the cooker into a first-class stove for warming a milk room, hog house,poultry house, cellar or shop. Can you think of any other farm implement that can be used for so great a variety of purposes? The farm equipment is incomplete without one of these cookers.

Dear Sir: — The Farmers’ Favorite Feed Cooker purchased of you is a great convenience, for before we purchased it we had to cook the little potatoes and pumpkins in an old cauldron kettle hanging on a pole out of doors, with a fire built around it, and we had to cover the •:
kitchen stove with kettles to heat the water to mix the feed for the hogs. When the Cooker . ;
arrived we set it up in one end of the hog house and the fire did not go out till warm weather. We would not part with the Cooker for twice its cost, and I think it would pay any *
farmer to buy a Cooker even if it cost double what you charge for them. Yours very truly, -r

m DICK^S NEW IMPROVED “BLIZZARD” CUTTER Hr With Superior Self-Feed Table. Also with Plain Feed Table
we feel safe hi stating that owing to the nximerous points of merit in this combined machine for cutting, splitting or shredding feed, and elevating.it by means of a pneumatic conveyor and deflector, the Blizzard excels all others of its class.
The gearing on this improved machine is 50 per cent stronger and has much more wear- ing surface, while the shafts for feed gears are larger in diameter; in fact all the parts throughout are made much heavier and stronger, and can stand more strain and extended service than the’ former style “Blizzard." These machines are now constructed with a third bearing for main shaft; the important feature of this improvement is that it supports the main shaft on the outside of belt pulley overcoming the strain of the drive belt, and by this device it cannot spring the main shaft, which remains absolutely in line with the remaining two bearings. The feed table can be detached before removing from the machine, by simply lowering the rear end of the table and lifting it out of its fastenings. We claim that the “New Improved Blizzard" is ahead of all ensilage and feed cutters on the market today.

O. K. CHAMPION TWO-HORSE ELEVATOR POTATO DIGGER
The No. 1 Digger has a front throat which Is a new departure in digger construction and exclusively used on our machine. It consists of patented, specially constructed side plates which connect with beams that taper downward toward the front, curving outward along the upper edges and along the top flare. This makes the throat opening wider than the body of the machine, allowing the dirt to spread and lose itself more freely when first entering. It also forces the vines and weeds to slide up more easily and overcome the serious trouble of clogging. The inward extending base to which the shovel Is bolted makes the opening absolutely rigid and strong. We have sold nearly 600 of these wonderful No. 1 Diggers in this vicinity. Price $100.00.
O. K. CHAMPION POTATO DIGGER NO. 3 WITH EXTENSION ELEVATOR This Digger is constructed with the view of producing the best results with the least mechanism so as to avoid complication and cause as little friction as possible. It is amply strong for any soil or condition of field; its capacity sufficient, having over fifteen square feet of separating space. Its simplicity is one of the main features because it lessens the possi- bility of wear and breakage.
The Elevator is an endless link chain, constructed of %-inch round, high carbon, crucible analysis spring steel. This is the best material that can be obtained for this purpose. The links of this chain are alternately raised and lowered, a feature original with O. K. Champion Diggers, which materially adds to the separating capacity without increasing the resistance and thereby greatly reducing the power requirements. Two sets of oblong sprocket agitators are provided which supply the chain with a continuous agitation while in motion. Price $125.00
“HERCULES” POTATO DIGGER— Best and Cheapest
This is the age of progress. Not so many years ago, the farmer used a Shovel Plow to raise potatoes. Today, the enterprising and thrifty farmer uses the “Hercules” Digger, which reaches under the row of tubers and deposits them on top of the ground in full view, reads'- to be picked up into bags or baskets.
The BEAJNI is made of high grade steel, with high arch which prevents clogging. Fitted with adjustable mallea- ble Clevis which can be set to regulate the depth.
The SHOVEL is formed to such shape and set to proper angle to insure getting under tubers.
The WINGS are rearwardly curved and elevated to enable them to take the row up in compact form and as it passes back to the Trailer Fork it is turned completely with bottom side up and with the .trash and roots underneath, expos- ing the tubers to view. The total width of shovel and wings is 24 inches.

These are machines that for twenty years have been recognized as the “Standard Hatch- ers of the World.” Tens upon tens of thousands of them have been sold and are in successful use In every civilized country on the globe.

STANDARD CYPHERS COMBINATION BROODERS AND COLONY ROOSTING COOPS.
I4AD 1010 Cyphers Unequalled rUJ\ Apartment Brood-
ers and combina- tion roosting coops have the same important ad vant^es over all other makes that are possessed by Cy- phers Company’s 1917 incubators, in that they are flre-proofed and in- surable, having the first fire insur- ance inspection label ever granted on a brooder.
Cypliers 1917 Brooders,
every size and style, are self-regu- lating. self- ventilating and varmint proof. The outdoor styles are use- Elble also as colony coops for the growing chicks. They are easily and quickly converted into colony roost- ing coops by simply taking out the hover, which is made removable for that purpose.
B OUXBOOR BROODER.
(Three apartments. Safest and most popular “ Foster Mother” ever designed.)
OEMAIVD THIS EABEL. YOUR SAFETY
Form of Brass Label to be found (in serial number) on every Cyphers Brooder. All sizes.
I IThis doKble iise of the Cyphers Brooder means a considerable saving of money. It makes a safe and comfortable enclosure for the young chicks at night and saves the buying of a coop for them. These out- door brooders, on account of their fire-proof construc- tion, can be used indoors, although we supply a special , brooder, Style U, for indoor purposes. All Cyphers 1917 Brooders, both outdoor and indoor, contain either ■ two or three apartments. The popular Style B (shown ' in illustration herewith), contains three apartments— - first, roomy space under the hover ; second, hover chamber ; third, well-lighted exercising apartment. x
THEY MOTHER THE CHICKS BETTER THAW A HEW.
An Important Reason for this is found in the great practical advantage possessed by the entire line of Cyphers Brooders for 1917 in their self -regulating feature. For years the self-regu- f lator was attached only to the highest priced Cyphers Brooder (Style C), but It was so well received ? tiiat now It is attached to all Cyphers Company brooders. It automatically regulates the heat in the brooder underneath the hover at all times, whereas in brooders without a regulator the heat has to be governed by a continuous watching of the lamp and turning the wick up or down whenever more or less heat is required.
In Addition to this unequaled line of brood- ers, we offer separately the Cyphers Company’s world’s challenge Adaptable Hover. This machin- ery-made, all- metal, guaranteed fire proof heating Mid brooding device is suitable to be used anywhfere that heat is required for brooding chicks or duck- lings. It can be used in a roosting coop, colony house, shed, hen house, barn or other building with or without any additional enclosure for the chicks, or in a large goods case or organ or piano box.
Is pronounced by thousands of users to be the best device thus far invented for heating home- made brooders. Recommended especially for use In long brooding houses, one hover for each pen.
Adaptable hover is complete in itself, baars insurance label as a separate device, and Is safe to use anywhere. Weight, boxed for shipment, only 40 pounds.
