May's Famous Hog Pasture Mixtures. 



We have given special attention to the selection of the varieties and to the making up of the mixtures for Hog Pastures. For several years past we have 

 made uo for a nu nbar of our ciisto-nirs a spacial mixture for their Hog Pasture. In our experience we find that hogs can be raised more profitably 

 on grass and clover than on corn only. Land that will produce corn will grow a fine crop of grass and clover easily, and it is just as easy, and- 

 certainly more convenient, to provide clover and grasses as corn, as the pigs will do the work themselves, gaining in flesh, besides keeping: 

 healthy and strong. Quick results and a full crop and use of the pasture can be had the first summer from the properly selected mixture. 



No. 



T Hog Pasture, clover grass mixture for quick re- 

 * • suits and a full crop the first year. When sown 



early in the spring the heavy growth of the grasses and clover 

 will furnish a fine pasture throughout the summer. _ By 

 careful experiments we find that Crimson Clover, in the right 

 proportion, used with other grasses, is well adapted to this 

 mixture. Mammoth Clover, English Rye, Italian Rye,
