LUCERNE 



The King of 

 Fodder Crops 



THE cultivation of Lucerne and its unsurpassable value as a fodder 

 plant, with irrigation, has become generally recognised during 

 the past few years. Lucerne will fatten cattle, sheep, pigs, 

 &c., better than any other feed, and with less expense. Can be cut 

 five or six times during a season, and, being perennial, will yield 

 good crops for many years, but it requires regular manuring every year 

 to return to the soil the substance withdrawn by roots and growth. 



AH our Lucernes are Specially Machine Cleaned, 

 Hand Sieved. Free from Dodder, and True to 

 Name, and have passed the Government Test. 



No Farmer should be without a Paddock 



It has been ascertained by the Water Commission of Victoria that 

 remarkable results have been obtained from dairying where Lucerne 

 has provided the bulk of feed for the herds. In returns to the Water 



Commission splendid figures have been reported.
