TeOSINTE, A WoNDERFl'L FODDER Early Soja, or Soy Beans. Velvet Bean (Dolichos, Multiflorus.) Largely grown in the South and used as a fertilizer plant for turning under. Both vines and pods are eaten by live stock, and the beans can be ground either with or without the pods, and fed instead of corn, or oats, or can be mixed with them. Lb., 10 cts. (postpaid, 18 cts). By freight or express, per peck, $; per bu., $ Teosinte (Reana Luxurians). (See cut.) Grows about 12 feet high and stools heavily, as many as 40 stalks from a single seed. Ex- cellent for stock feeding, either green during summer or dry during winter, and more nutritious and better liked than corn fodder by stock of all kinds. Grows to perfection in this latitude, supplying immense amount of fodder, but will not produce seed. Sow in May or June, in drills about 4 feet apart, using 3 pounds of seed per acre. Per oz., 10 cts.; \ lb., 20 cts.; lb., 75 cts., postpaid; 5 lbs. or over, by express, 60 cts. per lb. Spring Vetches, or Tares (Vicia Sativa). Highly valuable for soiling or for green manuring. Sometimes grown with oats, for mow- ing and feeding to stock. Use 2 to 3 bushels to acre broadcast, or 1 to 2 bushels in drills. Sow in spring, while ground is cool and moist, or in early autumn. Lb., 10 cts. (postpaid, 18 cts.); bu. of 60 lbs.,, $; 100 lbs., $ Winter Vetches, or Tares (Vicia Villosa). Also called Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Recommended for fall sowing with Rye, which serves as a support. It is perfectly hardy in all parts of the country, remaining green all winter and maturing fully four weeks earlier than Scarlet Clover; it can, therefore, be harvested or plowed under, and the ground used for the usual spring crop. It is very nu- tritious, and all kinds of stock eat it with relish. Sow
