Good Pastures Are the Foundation of 
Successiul Farming 
A combination ofa number of native and acclimated foreign 
grasses and clovers, blended to produce a permanent, dense and 
deep rooting turf yielding yearly the maximum quantity of hay, 
and afterwards affording a constant and abundant pasture. 
After the hay is cut, the grass recovers its verdure in a few 
days, and affords excellent pasturage even through dry summer 
weather. Both mixtures will maintain their valuable qualities 
20 years or more if they are occasionally top-dressed with ma- 
nure and sprinkled with grass seed. Sow 24 bushels to the acre,
