MAY'S FAMOUS HOG PASTURE

MIXTURES 
For several years past we havemaae up for a num- 
ber of our customers a special mixture for their hog 
pasture. In our experience we find that hogs can be 
raised more profitably on grass and on clover than 
on corn only. It is just as easy and certainly more 
convenient to provide clover and grasses as corn, the 
pigs will do the work themselves, gaining flesh, be- 
sides keeping healthy and strong. Quick results and 
a full crop and use of a pasture can be had the first 
summer from the properly selected mixture.
