FAKQUHAR'S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES. 



IT is a well-established fact that soils sown with a variety'' of different grasses which are adapted to the soil and which attain perfection at alternate 

 months from April to September, produce very miich larger and more satisfactory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two 

 kinds of grasses or clovers are sown. The results given by our mixtures have been most satisfactory, and have resulted in a yer>' large increase 

 in our trade for same. We unhesitatingly recommend them for use on the largest scale. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be 

 successful if done early, when the land is cool and moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing lo lbs. of mixed Clover Seed per acre. 

 Clovers in their young state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring, separately, being heavier in weight.

Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Vicia villosa. This annual is a native of Western Asia, and has been ctiltivated in this coimtry and Europe 

 for about fifty years. Its desirability as a forage crop has become established, and it is being cultivated each year on a more and more extensive 

 scale. It should be sown at the rate of from four to six pecks per acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15 to October i , and with it as a support- 

 ing crop to raise the vines up off the ground there should be planted from two to four pecks of winter Wheat, Oats, or Rye. It should be cut while 

 the Vetch is in full bloom. It may be planted in spring in order to supply an early green crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late autumn 

 forage. Peck, $2.50; bushel (60 lbs.) $10.00. 



Rye, Fall or Winter. The time for sowing is from the middle of August to the last of September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and 

 sow broadcast, or with a drill at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. This has no equal as a crop to be used for late fall and early spnng 

 pasture, and is one of the best to turn under for green manure. (56 lbs. per bush.) Per bushel, $1.75; 10 bushels, $16.50.
