Permanent Grass and Clover Mixtures. fae 4

They are permanent, lasting for ten to twelve | 
years without reseeding. They mature two or 
three weeks earlier than Timothy, produce 
more Hay to the acre, and on account of their 
earliness have a longer growing season in 
which to mature the second crop. 
After cutting, these mixed grasses recover 
quickly, and where no second crop is wanted 
excellent pasturage can be had within a week 
or two after haying time. 
Your chance of missing a catch is reduced 
to a minimum, because you don’t “‘carry all 
your eggs in one basket,’’ as in the case of 
Timothy or any one variety of grass. One or 
’ other of the grasses may miss to catch, but 
total failure is almost impossible. 
At first sight these Grass and Clover Mix- y77" 
tures look expensive to the average farmer, 
_(two or three times greater than Timothy), 
but he must bear in mind that they also last 
three or four times longer—and one second 
preparation of the ground to again sow Tim- 
othy which had failed would more than eat 
up the difference of cost between these Grass
