OLDS’ SWEET CLOVER 
“Sweet Clover Has an Important Place in the Livestock Agriculture of Wisconsin.” (Wis. Bulletin No. 178.) 
Some of the reasons for its value are: 
First—A Great Pasture Crop. When the ordinary blue grass pastures dry up in midsummer, sweet 
clover keeps right on growing and furnishes wonderful pasture right through the drouth period. 
“Cows on Sweet Clover produce 
a splendid flow of milk. It will 
generally pasture a thousand-pound 
cow per acre for a period of about 
4 months.’’—Wisconsin Bulletin. 
Second—Wonderful Soil Builder. 
“Sweet Clover is an excellent crop 
for building up worn-out soils.’’— 
Bulletin 178. It grows faster than 
red clover or alfalfa and larger 
and the roots penetrate deeper in¬ 
to the soil. 
Third—A Valuable Hay Crop. 
While not quite equal to Alfalfa 
it makes good hay if cut at the 
right time and cattle will eat it. 
The Grundy County and the Al- 
botrea are the best for hay. 
Sow Sweet Clover on your with¬ 
drawn wheat and corn acreage. 
INOCULATE ALL LEGUMES 
WITH 
MTRAGIN 
The Original Legume Inoculatov ^ 
Five Acres of Sweet Clover Pastured Ten Cows for Two Months. (From Bull. 416.) 
CULTURE—Sweet Clover is best sown in the spring with one bushel of extra early oats or W 
barley per acre as nurse crop. It can also be sown successfully in June or July without a nurse 
crop or in corn at the last cultivation. Fifteen Pounds of Seed per Acre is usually sufficient, a 
little less for Grundy County as the seed is smaller. Inoculate the seed before sowing with Nit’ra- 
gin. See page 69. Use lime if your soil is sour. Most any well-drained soil is all right for Sweet 
Clover. Ask for Wisconsin Bulletin No. 178, “Sweet Clover and the Summer Feed Supply.”
