MAY'S FAMOUS HOG PASTURE MIXTURES 
FOR several years past we have made up for a number of our customers

and grasses as corn, the pigs will do the work 
themselves, gaining flesh, besides 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.
