The Importance to the 
farmer of a Rood selection

for permanent pasture, 
etc., cannot be overestl- 
m a ted. W e p rep are sped al

the most suitable grasses

and meadow lands, such 
as Orchard Grass, Mea¬ 
dow Foxtail, Sheep’s Fes¬ 
cue, It. 1. Bent Meadow

Perennial Sweet Vernal 
and Red-Top in such pro¬ 
portions as will insure the 
most satisfactory results, 
producing the heaviest 
possible crops of hay, far 
superior to seeding with 
Timothy and Clover alone; 
producing far heavier 
crops; for permanent pas¬ 
tures allowing of the clos¬ 
es t grazi ng with ou t i nj u ry.

sow three bushels per acre,

With the above should 
be sown 10 lbs. of mixed 
clovers per acre (which 
cost about 15 cts. per lb). 
On account of the greater 
weight of clovers they 
should be sown separately 
and only in the spring as 
they are inclined to winter 
kill unlesB wellestablished.
