Put Loafing Acres to Work with 
HOFFMAN’S 
-*-PERMANENT 
HAY AND PASTURE MIXTURE” 
Perhaps it’s a section too small or rocky to farm. Perhaps it’s 
too steep or wet to cultivate successfully. But whatever shape, 
there’s no reason for letting sections of your farm lie idle, 
when they might be working for you. Idle land costs money, 
and, if there’s much of it, can eat up the returns produced by 
other parts of your farm. 
Many farmers in the East have been turning such idle land 
to profit by planting it with Hoffman’s ‘Permanent Hay and 
Pasture Mixture.” Not only have they salvaged land from 
weeds and erosion, they've used it to raise the total income of 
their farm. 
All idle acres aren’t loafing for the same reason. Conse- 
quently, we’ve developed two different mixtures of selected 
pasture grasses to help you produce good pasture. One is the 
Highland Mixture for well-drained hilly land. The other is 
the Lowland Mixture for low wet land and meadows. Both 
are carefully made up of selected grasses, blended in proper 
proportions. They may contain Blue Grasses, Herds Grass or 
Red Top, Orchard Grass, some Timothy and the right propor- 
tion of Clovers, certain of the Fescues or Rye Grasses. They 
are blended under the direction of authorities and are the result 
of the studies of performance on many farms. Plant either in 
spring or fall—about one bushel (32 pounds) per acre. Be 
sure to indicate which type mix you want. 
This method to dry up consistent milkers should start about 
nine weeks before calving time. Cow should be put on a low 
protein ration and on low protein hay such as timothy—and 
the milking stopped. It may be necessary to remove the milk 
partly for one milking, but the only other requirement is to 
stop milking. After that, the cow should be put on a fitting 
ration of about 12% protein, to build up her body and estab- 
lish the necessary fat surplus. 
“T am more than pleased with 
the seeds I got from you. The 
corn, the grass seed, the Su- 
dan grass, and the soy beans 
are just about all anyone 
could wish for.”—Rodger J.

HOME-MADE PASTURE 
HARROW 
The use of a flexible har- 
row on pastures during the 
grazing season will scatter 
cattle droppings to benefit 
large areas rather than 
harm small patches. An 
excellent home-made af- 
fair for this purpose may 
be made from discarded 
automobile rims wired or 
chained together loosely in 
the form of a square.
