ALFALFA'S MERITS.
1t is the Best Mortgage Litter
Ever Known.
Ever Known.

Alfalfa is better than a bank ac-
count for it never fails or goes into
the hands of receiver. 1t is weather
proof, for cold does not iniure and
heat makes it grow all the better. A
winter flood will not drown it, and a
fire will not kill it. As a borer it is
equal to an artesian we'll; it loves
water and bores to reach it. When
growing there is no stopping it. Be
gin cutting twenty acre field and
when your last load of hay is handled
at one end of the field, it is ready to
cut again at the other end. For fill
inc a milk can an alfalfa fed COW is
equal to a handy pump. Cattle love
it, hogs fatten upon it and hungry
horse wants nothing else. If your
land will grow alfalfa you have the
drop on dry weather. Once started
on your land alfalfa will stay by you
like Canada thistles or Il first class
mortgage but only to make you
wealthier and happier. Evidences
Of the proftableness of alfalfa on
irrigated land in the semi-arid reg
ions multiply from year to year.
Price $500 per hundred pounds.
All kinds of grass seeds in stock.
Place your orders with us early and
save money.
Respectfully Yours,
