| I'HE RESULTS which have been attained. by cx
l. perlmens in the cultivation of this newly npurt-
ed species OF product. have awakened an interest
among the farming classes, in many sections never
before equaled in the entire history of our agrculu
raj industry. Facts in regard to its valuable prom
critics, which at first seemed almost Incredible have
been established beyond the possibility of doubt
and it believed, by those best capable OF Judging OF
its merits, that its general Introduction will add mill
ions oldolars TO agricultural wealth. ] have not
the space here to enter into details but will present
briefly some of its advantages.
fJs, 1t 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 statements by disneresed
and reliable persons of yield Of eight tons of
good dry hay from single acre, in soil where it
not possible 10 get more than one-haf the amount
from any Of the common grasses.
Second The same weight possesses more nutrment,
and. consequently. will sell for a larger price in the
market, thus insuring the farmer more than double
the return from his grounds than he could obtain
from any other forage plant The hay possesses one
third more nuirment than timothy, and has sold for
sl5 per ton where the price Of timothy was but $40
or Sl2.
Third Both hay and seed can be produced from
the same crop. the hay being equally valuable as 9TH
er hay. after the seed is taken from it, while the seed
is rs valuable as the best OF grain. a feed for
horses cattle pigs chickens. and &C.. and it is prov
ed to be superior to nseed for the manufacture OF
oil and must always find ready sale at fair price,
( for this purpose
] Fourth. 1t natures in about two months time and
}can be sown on grounds where other crops have fail
ed, either by dronth or other causes, and at the same
time. will yield large return.
FyM In northern climates. where clover and 9th
cr grasses are killed out by hard winters. this will
yield large crop, and in those sections Of the South
where other grasses will not thrive at all it will grow
very prolific.
Sath 1t will stand all kinds Of weather, and, wheth
or the season be wet dry. the farmer may always
rely upon his Honey Biade as a sure crop
