May's Famous Hog Pasture Mixtures. 
We haveelven special attention to the selection of the varieties and to the making upof the mixtures for Hog Pastures. For several years past we have 
made uo for a nu nb-r of our e uto njrs a special mixture for their Ho? Pasture. In our experience we find that hogs can be raised more profitably 
on erass and clover than on corn only. Land that will produce com -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 themstelves, 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. 
. 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 thatCiimson Clover, in the right 
proportion, used with other grasses, is well adapted to this 
mixture. Mammoth Clover, English Rye, Italian Rj-e, 
Crimson Clover, Tall Meadow Oat. Sow ir> pounds per
