The fact that Timo- thy cannot be relied upon to make a sure catch, and that it so soon becomes exhausted ordinarily, has caused farm- ers no liitle thought, and naturally set them to look about fur something more reliable and permenant, and at the same time something equally as nutritious as Timothy. So many inquiries con- cerning the matter have reached us from time to time, that we felt almost vmder obligations to institute a search, which we accordingly did. We are more than happy to say that our re- searches have not been in vain, for we are to-day in possession of a mixture which for hay or pasturage is far superior to anything we have seen. At last we can say we have a grass for permanent pastures. The contrast between our grass and the ordinary Timothy and Clover, after the first or second season, is fairly portrayed in the above cut. The mixture consists of the following grasses : Orchard Grass, Meadow Fox Tail, Sheep Fescue, Hard Fescue, Sweet Vernal, Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Bent Grass and Red Top. The above, put up in proper proportions, we furnish for $ per bushel of 14= lbs. To make a heavy pasture use from two to three bushels to the acre.
