“Alternate Husbandry or Rotation Cropping.” These mixtures are adapted to the rotation of crop for which they are prepared ms 
preduce the largest quantity of nutritious food for the duration of time specified. 
The grasses best adapted for this class of pasture are the following:—English Rye Grass, Italian Rye ‘Grass, Tall Oat Grass, Meadow Fescue and Orch 
Grass, Red Clover, Alsike, Trefoil and Timothy, blended in their proper proportions for the time required. Werecommend thefollowing quantities per acre. The r Os 
Inay be sown in spring or fall, but the clovers should be sownin spring, for in this latitude they are apt to be winter-killed, being rather tender in the yon: Screen
