Field Peas for Hogs
Equal to Corn and
Six Weeks Earlier

On account of the high price of
clover, many people will look for sub
stitute as soil improver.
e CANADA FIELD PEAS, at one
seventh the cost of clover, are one of
the best known igumes that take Nj
trogen from the air and deposit it in the
soil and can either be used for hay or
turned under for green manure. The
Canadian Field Pea does not thrive in
extremely hot weather, but if sown
early will produce good and bountiful
crop wherever the conditions are also
favorable for the growing of oats.
Field Pies, either sown alone or with
soats, have long been recognized as onc
of the best feeding and fattening for
age crops for young stock and hogs, to
carry them during the midsummer and
droughty period of July and August.
{ When sown alone they should be han
died the same as any small grain crop
rand drilled at the rate of two and one
half bushels per acre. When mixed
with oats one-half the quantity, name
sly, one and one-quarter bushels per acre
Ito the same quantity of oats is suf
sfieient. The time of sowing corresponds
with that of oat seeding. AS peas are
naturally hardy and not endangered by
late frosts, the earlier the crop can bC
gotten into the ground the better
Early seeding brings the crop into
maturity and ready for feeding before
the hot days of July and August. A pc;
scrop, if sown as soon in spring as thu
ground is ready to pow, may be ready
for feeding as early as the goth to 25tl
of June. Usually, however, it is avail
fable the first half of July.
= Samples and prices furnished on ap
plication. Can offer in any quantity. 4
small order Will receive just as careful
attention as larger one. Would b
spleased to be favored with your in
kquiries, which will meet with courteou
and prompt consideration.
