dnctisn niil add millions Of dollars agrcultu
raj wealth. have not the space here to enter into
details, but will present, briefly, some of its advan-
tagcs.
First It will produce double the weight to the
acre. in any SOIL Of any other kind of grass From
four to six tons per acre is not an uncommon yield
and am in possession Of sworn statsmen by dis
interested and reliable persons Of yield of over
eight tons of good dry hay from single acre. in
soil where it was not possible TO get than one
half the amount from any of the common grasses
Second The same weight possesses more nutri-
mcnt and, consequently will sell for a larger price
in the market thus insuring the farmer more than
double the return from his grounds that he could
obtain from any other forage plant The hay pos
sesses one-third moro nutrimeht than timothy and
has sold for $l5 per ton where the price of timothy
was but $40 or $12.
Third Both hay and seed can be produced fro m
the same crop, the hay being equally valuable as
other hay, after the seed is taken from it, while the
iseed is valuable the best Of other grain rs
feed for horses cattle pigs, chickens &c and it is
proved to be superior to insced for the manufacture
Of oil and must always find ready sale at a fair
price for this purpose.
