 apart, at the rate of 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. 

 Under favorable conditions it is ready 

 for pasturing sheep or cattle within six 

 weeks from time of sowing, and on an 

 average one acre will carry twelve to 

 fifteen sheep six weeks to two months. 

 In the Northern States it shoul I be sown 

 from May to August for fall pasturiug, 



but as it thrives best in cool weaiher, it should not be sown in the Southern States until 

 September or October for winter pasture. Its fattening properties are probably twice as (

 we know of, fattening and putting them in excellent condition for marketing without
