hPrRInEs SEED.

TO all the tOorld, but very few take the trouble to
steer by that compass, and it is so with farmers.
Yours truly, GEO. o. BAKER & co.
SPURIOUS SEED.
Hendricks of bushels of Canada. New Bruins
wick, Surprise. Poland, ana numerous other
varieties of oats were sold last year as our seed.
Parties are again advertising and attempting to
deceive the farmers. One party has already for
warded several Thousand bushels of Canada
oats to the West, where he~iS selling them as
ourseed. We cautioned farmers last year against
these frauds. But, because they could buy at
lower price, and the representations appeared
honest. they purchased elsewhere; and now,
when they have learned by the result that they
were deceived, they are writing to US to punish
the swindlers. To all such we beg to say thatwe
have enough to do TO attend to our own busl-
ness. We renew our caution, and give notice
that hereafter we shall sell our seed under the
name ottheRAMSDELLN NORWAY OATS. The
demand for this seed is sufficient to guarantee a
sale Of every bushel in the country at our estab-
lished price; and farmers who bought seed from
US are asking from 81 80 to SO, ard one evidence
of seed being spurious is the fact Of its being
offered at less than the regularly established
prices. No man is likely to go to the trouble
and expense Of ADVERT sing and selling this seed
at less price than he knows he would pay for
il. if genuine. There is not seed enough tc sup
ply the State of California alone, while others
are coming in from every State and Territory
and many paris Of Europe. There are upward
of fUe millions Of farmers IN the United States
yet to be supplied with this seed, and the whole
crop this year would not give each pint.
Where one farmer had the faith in our repre-
sensations 10 buy last year. thousands are salts
fed and anxious TO get II now. One more word
on this subject of inferior seed Many seed
dealers bought and sold seed last year which
they may honestly have believed to be genuine,
which was not; and some farmers, are
sorry to say it, VINO raised twenty-five bushels,
sold more than twice that quantity. The demand
which the great success of this grain t1e past
season has created will sweep of the entire
stock ia a short time. and will offer unusual
gdvantage for bogus operators; and we are com
PEELED, in justice ourselves as well as for the
protection Of the public, 10 publ sh the above
facts. The only safe way for the farmer is To
make NJ his miHd Ow much he wants, and If a
neighboT whom he knows and can trust has
the seed Of bis own raising. buy of him.
if not, send at once TO Us. Our oe3t and beav.

YIELD ANB QUALITY.
We claimed last year that the Norway Dat
would yield double that of any other kind.
They hsve done better than that.
We claimed that they were . per cent.
heavier. They have exceeded that in weight.
We claimed that they were better in quality.
Reliable farmers say they are worth 100 per
cent. more for home consumption, and will
make whittier and sWeetcr -four than the best
wheat.
Farmers who can do so are invited to visit
either of our stores, and examine the grain and
specimens ofsta!ks. root, branch and head. We
have mammoth roots producing as many as 245
stalks from a single kernel, which are visited by
hundreds daily, and considered. justly, as we
think. the Sonder of the agricultural world.
We shall coGtinue to furnish the genuine Rams
dell Norway Oats as a specially for two years to
come. The rrlce next year will not be less than
81. One farmer in every town can make small
fortune on the crop from a few bushels.
