Although the most widely cultivated hay grass in the United States is Timothy, or a 
mixture of Timothy and Clover, and while they answer the purpose admirably on farms 
where the soil is suitable and where the usual three and four years’ rotation is cz 
yet there are many other grasses which will yield more profitable returns. 
The competition of the Western States on wheat, corn and other grain has made the 
growing of grain in the Eastern States and the usual rotation farming unprofitable, but 
hay still yields a fair profit, and the farmer whose land is sown with a proper mixture of 
Permanent Grasses, requiring only an occasional top-dressing of manure or fertilizer to 
MAINTAIN THEIR HEAVY CROPPING QUALITIES FOR TWENTY YEARS OR MORE 
does away with the necessity for plowing and rotation cropping with allits a ttend ant expense. 
The most serious item of expense on the farm, the labor bill, can be largely reduced and 
thus give reasonable prospect of profitable annual returns S a minimum of labor and 
expense. The seed of these Permanent Grasses is more costly than Timothy 
required per acre, but by reason of their heavy cropping qualities and per manency y they soon 
repay the extra costand leavea handsome margin for the farmer, when the 
harrowing and re-seeding Timothy every three and four years is t: ike nin
