190 HOW TO MAKE THE FARM PAY. 



grass, is a safe and economical average ; but better than this, we 

 tbink, will be found the following mixtures. For Permanent 

 Pasture, meadow foxtail, two pounds, orchard grass, six pounds; 

 white clover, five pounds ; red clover, four pounds; rye grass, four 

 pounds; timothy, four pounds; Kentucky blue grass, four 

 pounds ; meadow fescue, four pounds ; red top, four pounds ; and 

 rough stalked meadow grass, four pounds. If the above is to 

 be reduced 'at all, leave out the clover. For Mowing in the 

 Rotation. Orchard grass, six pounds ; red clover, ten pounds ; 

 rye grass, five pounds; red top, four pounds; timothy, six 

 pounds. For Hay and Pasture. Timothy, six pounds; 

 June grass, four pounds; orchard grass, four pounds; rye grass, 

 four pounds ; wood meadow grass, four pounds ; white clover, 

 four pounds; perennial clover, two pounds; rough stalked 

 meadow grass, two pounds ; vernal grass, two pounds. If any 

 of the grasses in either of the above lists are to be left out, the 

 amount of timothy should be increased ; but we believe that 

 the number of varieties usually sown, is far too few to produce 

 the best results. We present five additional tables, copied 

 mostly from the report of the secretary of the Massachusetts 

 State Board of Agriculture.
