CURRIE BROS., MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



HOG PASTURE. 



As recommeded by J. A. MacDonald, P. E. I. Canada. 

 Planned to furnish continuous feed throughout the whole year. 



A four acre plot has been taken as a basis, and laid out in the manner shown in the 

 plan, one acre each to rotated crop, and two acres to grasses and clovers. By making 

 the stjart in fall, ample time is given for preparation.

j Feed troughs — water ; 



Four acre pasture lots— area required for six sows and their pigs (50) to furnish 

 continuous pasture to the weight of 187 pounds, with supplementary grain food— 1 pound 

 daily to each 62y 2 pounds live weight. S S sleeping quarters. 



In adapting this system there is absolutely no risk, for the reason that no one crop 

 is entirely depended upon, with the exception of Rape, and even with that we recommend 

 sowing 2 ozs. Turnip to the pound of Rape. 



The Grass and Clover Mixture should be sown in fall. Suitable mixtures for all 

 kinds of soil and conditions are offered and described on pages 40 and 41 of our spring 

 catalogue. 



The Rye and Vetch should also be sown in fall. When this crop has attained a 

 height of 5 inches this fall, the hogs may be turned on and continue pasturing on it 

 throughout the winter and early in spring. 



Four acres laid out and fenced off as here outlined will save the purchase of 5 to S 

 tons of ground feed, and this great saving is obtained at the cost of only a few dollars 

 for seed, besides improving the condition of the land by the use of the crops named. 

 See Page 31 for Price of Sand Vetch and Dwarf Essex Rape. 



WINTER WHEAT. 



BEARDED WINTER FIFE. (Jones.) 



The hardiest of all Winter Wheats, and 



is one that will not freeze out or winter 

 kill in any of the Winter Wheat States. 



It is a grand yielder, averaging 40 to 45 

 bushels per acre. 



Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50. 



EARLY RED CLAWSON. (Bald.) 



The earliest Winter Wheat. Especially 

 desirable for heavy clay soils, and when 

 sown on rich ground should be seeded very 

 lightly, owing to its remarkable stooling 

 propensities. 



Price, 50c per peck; $1.50 per bushel. 



HUNGARIAN WINTER RYE. 



A variety of recent introduction, very strong strawed, seldom lodges, and is a great 

 yielder, often giving 50 to 60 bushels of very bold, handsome grain (much larger than 

 the common Winter Rye) and of superior milling qualities. 



Peck, 50c; per bushel, $1.35.
