Choice Onion Seed
Onion Seed is one of our greatest specialties. It is many times better to not plant
any onions at all than to sow the worthless stuff that is sold in so many cases and called
onion seed. First quality onion seed can never be low in price, as the cost of producing
it right is very great.
Mammouth Prize-Taker
This is the large beautiful Spanish va-
riety so often seen in the fruit stores and
markets of all large cities. Enormous size
---12 to 14 inches in circumference. Although
of such great size, itis very hardy and a
good winter keeper, as it ripens up hard
and firm; very fine grained and of mild,
delicate flavor. The outside skin is fa? rich
yellow, while the flesh is white. They bot-
tom well, are free from stiff necks, and have
produced more,bushels of marketable onions
to the acre than any other-variety. In the

Yellow Dent Field
Corn is certainly
entitled to be
~ known as. such, 7 Reid’s Yellow Dent
as its history dates many years back. It has been bred-up and selected with painstaking
care to what is at the present one of the best varieties of yellow corn grown. Ear medium
in size, remarkably uniform, and of bright yellow color, with solid deep grain and small
red cob. Has from 18 to 24 rows of kernels on the cob, 50 to 60 grains in the row, and is
well filled over the ends, and especially the butt, leaving a small shank, which makes it a
’ great favorite with huskers. Best shredding sort, as it shatters the least of any by actual
test.
In some of the principal corn-growing states of the West it hasno equal, and reports
from many other states are very flattering. The-lowa Experiment station report of 1901
gave the Reid’s Yellow Dent an average of 100 bushels per acre, while the Agricultural
Students’ Union of Ohio in 1903 gave it a yield of 14 per cent above all other varieties. As
a winner of prizes from the World’s Fair at Chicago in 1893, and at Western Corn Carni-
‘vals and shows down to the present time, it stands at the head. Sampleear 30c, large

Perfect Lawn Grass
Absolutely the Best Lawn Seed that Experience can Suggest, or that Money
ean Buy—A smooth, velvety lawn surrounding a house adds not only tothe value, but
enhances the enjoyment of every home, whether’ it bein city, town or country. When
properly made, a lawn is the best investment a home owner can make. The following sug-
gestions may be of benefit, especially to those who are about to make a new lawn.
A lawn may be made in two ways, by sodding or by sowing seed. Sodding is not
only very expensive, but unsatisfactory as well. Sods are ordinarily taken from a pas-
— ture or along the roadside and almost invariably contain weed seed and coarse tufty
grasses 2s which make their appearance after the lawn is made. Seeding is not only cheaper,
but is attended with better results.
The most important thing to consider in selecting seed for lawn grass is to obtain a
proper mixture of several varieties, for two reasons. First, each variety is atits best
during a certain part of the season. By properly choosing early, medium and late grasses,
a smooth, even, green lawn is assured from early spring to late autumn. Second, a given
area can ‘support only so many grass plants of one kind for they all absorb the same
sort of food, but if several varieties are sown, the same area will supportmany more
plants, as different sorts live on various elements in the soil. This will give a much
thicker and more luxurant turf all over the lawn:
With these facts in mind our Perfect Lawn Grass Seed is scientifically combined.
Our experience has given us an intimate knowledge of grasses, their habits and require-
ments. In our Perfect Lawn Grass Seed are included only the very best varieties—pure,
clean and free from foul seed. In making new lawns one pound will sow 300 square feet.
- Notonly is Perfect Lawn Grass suitable for the making of new lawns, but it will be found
equally valuable for quickly renewing old and worn out areas. Price by mail. Postpaid

ALFALFA SEED
Our Alfalfalsthe Highest Grade Obtainable of
High Purity and Strong Growth
Alfalfa is being more generally grown as experi-
ence is teaching our farmers the proper soils on
~which it should be sown. It requires cutting at
least twice the first season; even if not large enough
to make hay. Cutting destroys any weeds that may
come up in it, and gives the Alfalfa a chance. Must
be sown at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre when
sown broadcast. It requires well-drained, well-pul-
verized, deep soil, and should be sown after danger
of freezing is over. It prefers sand or gravel sub-
soil; wet soil is fatal to the plant. Roots from 3 to
15 feet deep, and when established lasts for years,
and two or three crops a year canbe cut. Alfalfa
does not exhaust the soil. It will store from eight to
ten times as much nitrogen in the soil as was
there before, thus saving you dollars that you may
have been paying to the fertilizer companies for the
nitrogen element. If your neighbor has tried alfal-
fa and made a failure, don’t give it up but try it
yourself, he may have only half tried, while you with
the proper preparations of the soil may reap a rich
harvest.

yield a big crop of hay, or if the season is long i
a crop of beans may be harvested, besides in-
creasing the fertility of the soil for the next crop.
Any good corn soil will grow Soy Beans. The
plant is not molested by insects ofany kind, and
heat and drouth donot affect it. The yield of
beans is from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. Im _ feed-
ing value they are richer than linseed meal. Ex.
periments at the Kansas Experiment Station show
that by adding one-fifth Soy Beans to Corn or
Kaffr Corn when fed to hogs, a saving in feed of
from thirteen to thirty-seven percent was affected.
When fed to milch cows, using three or four pounds
of beans per day, along with other feed, the milk
yield will be doubled. The plant makes a fine hog
pasture, and as a green feed for milch cows it is un-
equaled. When grown for the beans, they should be
drilled in rows and cultivated like corn, using about
one-third bushel of seed per acre. For hay they
should be sown thickly, proadcast or in drills, at the
rate of one bustel per acre. They should not be
planted until after the ground has become warm af-

Although the great cornu produciug states are

Japanese Buckwheat
The best sort for the West. It matures
seed early, resists drouth better, and more
vigorous and hardy than the old sorts. The
grains are almost again as large as the old
sorts, and the yield is much larger. It
should be sown from the middle of June to
the middle of July, broadcast, at the rate of
one-half bushel per acre. This sort will
yield on an average 30 bu. per acre. It
quickly gathers moisture when left standing
in the field, and for this reason should be
threshedas soon as dry. Unequaled as a
plant for bees. Price pound, postpaid, 30

- The sleeve appliance used on the burner for regulating the pone is a Wee con-
structed tube or sleeve, which is made to slide up or down on the wick-tube, controlled by
the regulator, and raises or lowers the flame, having the same effect as to turn the wick up
or down by hand. In this style of regulation the flame is kept at the right height to sup-
ply 103 degrees; therefore, there is no oil wasted. This device has been in successful use
on Petaluma Incubators for over twenty-five years, and is strongly endorsed by thousands

The Eyrie Egg Box is the lightest weigh-
ing only two and three-quarters pound pack-
ed for shipment.
_ The self-locking handle absolutely pre-
vents pilfering of the contents or the sub-
stitution of other eggs. Also the handle
makes an easy carried package and prevents
putting anything on top of the box, thus
- eliminating the liability to rough usage.
- In shipping high priced eggs for hatching
itis very important that they should be
kept as uniform in temperature as possible.
The Eyrie does this, the dead air cells in
the corrugated paper making an effective
shield against either heat or cold.

THE BEST SPRAYING MATERIALS 2
Arsenate of Lead, in Paste Form—This substance is used to destroy all leaf-eating ins
sects that attack the foliage of fruit trees, flowers, vegetables and plants, especially efiective for
killing potato bugs. When spraying potato vines it is very important that the poison be applied
very early.- The first spraying should be made when the vines are two cr three inches high.
Arsenate of Lead forms a glaze on the leaves, does not wash off easily like Paris Green and
other spray materials. You will find it the very best for an all purpose spraying material. Price
one pound glass jars, 40c., postage extra 24c. Larger quantities, 2 lb. glass jars 75c., 5 1b.
glass jars $1.25. One pound will make 25 gallons of spraying material.
Bordeaux Mixture

ean be quickly removed and the row straddled.
Where rows are close together the three inside shov-

shovel and reversing other four makes potato dig-
ser. Pulls weeds, pulverizes the soil thoroughly,
giving level cultivation. Itis light, very durable,

In close comparison in the field, sowing lettuce, radish, onion, beet, peas, etc., this seeder
has proved itself equal if not exceed, any seeder now on the market, in distributing the seed ev-
enly either in hills or drills and will not injure the most delicate seed.

4, 6, 8,12 and 24 inches apart; it may be set for three different distances withcut entirely re-
