Makes Splen= did Grazing, a Heavier Crop than Clover, Stands Cold Weather Better, and is Superior as a Soil Improver. Hairy or Sandvetch makes one of the largest yielding and most nutritious winter and spring torage crops grown. If desired to feed green, the crop should be cut when it commences to blossom, and it gives the best ot results if fed with coarse hay or coin fodder. The yield of green forage on good soils amounts to six to ten tons per acre, and sometimes, on rich soils, from twelve to fifteen tons. The yield of dry hay, taken on this basis, would be from one and one-half to four tons per acre, and it has made an actual vield of seven tons per acre on very rich land. The yield depends much on the fertility of the soil and state of cultivation. It is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, making one of tte richest and most nutritious feeds, increas- ing the flow and quality of milk, and being one of the best feeds to fatten and put animals in good condition. Vetches also furnish excellent winter and spring grazing, provided they are sown early. The following are extracts from customers' letters, giving their expe- rience and opinion in regard to vetches : Captain M. B. Rowe, of the firm of M. B.
