^TENDERSON'S TN Renovating Mixture FOR Improving Old Pastures. $2.50 per bushel of 14 lbs. 20=bushel lots, $2.45 per bushel. Mixed Clovers, 5 lbs. to sow an acre, $1.15. /^ RASS lands, in consequence of being constantly mown or pastured without being I'-f fertilized or manured, frequently become impoverished and deficient in the ^^ more valuable and nutritious grasses, and in time become unprofitable. It is frequently unnecessary to plow up such land unless it be full of weeds. The turf should be well harrowed with a sharp-tooth harrow, and, if possible, top-dressed with soil and well-rotted stable manure, which should be well harrowed in, and then sown with HENDERSON'S RENOVATING MIXTURE, at the rate of one bushel per acre, and five pounds of mixed clovers. This mixture is composed of those sorts that are best suited for sowing on old pastures or meadows, and it iwill speedily improve the quality and increase the produce. March and April are the best months for sowing, choosing an interval between rains if possible, though, if inconvenient to sow then, very satisfactory results can be obtained by fall sowing. After sowing, the ground should be lightly harrowed and afterward well rolled.
