ECONOMY IN BUYING SEEDS.

Economy is not paying less money for
a thing than you expected to pay. True
economy is good management, and about
the worst management a farmer can be
guilty of is to buy cheap seeds and thus
cut the value of his crops in half-Or
worse. A stream cannot flow higher
than its source, and a crop cannot be
any better than its seed. Real seed econ
Omy is buying seeds that bear the stamp
of house that is known to be reliable;
then the planter is absolutely sure that
he gets what he wants and what he pays
for. In every part of the country deal
ers sell the absolutely reliable seeds OF
ID. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, Mich,
which have given uniform good results
for the last forty-twO years. Ferrys
Illustrated Seed Annual for 1898, con-
tanning information that no farmer or
gardener can afford to be without, will

tion to the firm.

Sunny SlOpe Farm,

Nearly all lovers Of good cattle in this
country and many across the ocean have
heard Of Sunny Slope Farm, the American
home OF the Herefords. IL is located two
and one-half miles northwest from EN-
poria In Lyon county, Kansas, sixty miles
south OF Topeka, and 14 miles southwest
from Kansas City. It was started six years
ago with forty head OF carefully selected
Herefords, and since then the stock has
been increased by importations and breed
Ing so that 600 have been sold for breeding
purposes and the farm now has $40 head,
the largest and most select herd of Here
fords in this world. The farm contains
2,2S0 acres OF beautiful prairie and is a
Veritable sunny SLOPE" for from a COM
manding view 1t stretches away in gentle
slope for miles to the south and east until
1t reaches the Cottonwood river 1t is
amply supplied with commodius buildings
which have been constructed for the spe-
cial accommodation Of this great herd OF
high bred cattle One hundred and fifty
acres are kept in alfalfa, which is carefully
cured, cut fine and mixed with corn meal
and oil meal, making an excellent ration
twenty acres are grown to root crops
mostly stock beets, which yield from If
teen to twenty tons per acre; these are
carefully pitted in the fall and cut up and
fed through the winter. The largest por-
ton OF the farm Is kept in pastures where
these natural rustlers" are given ample
opportunity to roam and Craze at will. The
entire management Of the farm is sys-
tematized with a generals skill. Hon.
e. 5. cross, the owner, was far-sighted
enough to foresee that there would be a
great demand for the best breeding cattle
that could be produced and H. L. Leib-
fried, the manager, has the wisdom, skill
and tact to develop the very highest type
Of perfection by careful attention to the
business. Under their management Sunny
Slope has produced more ideals Of perfec-
tion than any other Hereford establish
ment in the world. Their stock has been
exhibited in all the great shows in the
West, and last year made the largest cir
cult and won more prizes than any other
herd Of Herefords. They have sold and
shipped to every State in the union and
to Canada and Mexico. Last fall they i'm
ported direct from Herefordshire, England,

fords that money could buy On March 2
and they will have grand sale at Sunny
Slope Of $50 head Of their best Herefords,
including the forty head Just imported
from England and also such sWeepstake
bulls as Archibald 6th Gladlolus, Orpheus
and Sir William. 1t is not closing out
sale, for they will still continue in the
business, but 1t will be the grandest sale
and the best opportunity to get pure-bred
Herefords ever known in this country.
Every person who is interested in seeing
fine stock should attend this sale for it
will be the opportunity Of lifetime. Four
OF the most eminent and wittiest auction
GERS in the country will conduct the sale.

bered.
