yield per acre in bushels in Nebras

In the irrigated state of Colorado the

The value of land in the two states

Not only is alfalfa invaluable to
stele growers but it is a splendid
fertilizer of the soil an unequaled
rotater Alfalfa from its marvelous
ability to supply nitrogen to the soil
may be regarded as the greatest re
generator of wornout soil available
gen in the soil that produces vigorous
to western lands and its the nitro

the big corn stalk the long straw
and the dark green color in growing

to ask you home to dinner even after

constructing THE GREAT MAJESTIC RANGE ever since
its birth Have you ever noticed how other ranges are trying
to imitate the MAJESTIC MOVABLE RESERVOIR How
others imitate the selling methods of the MAJESTIC the ap

They are like the sheep in a flock they listlessly follow
the bell wether
They are always a few jumps behind however Just now
THE GREAT MAJESTIC RANGE is the only range in the
world the body of which is made of OLD STYLE CHARCOAL
IRON material that resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel Its
the only material that comes any where near lasting as long as
Malleable Iron
