TuRKIRG OUT SrocK EARLY.-Most farmers
greatly injure thier pastures by turning their
stock out upon them too early They ought to
wait till the ground has become so firm and
compact that the cattle will not posCh it and
the grass should be sufficiently high 10 give
them a good bite, without being obliged to
gnaw down to the roots. Woodland pastures
are the oaly exception to this rule. On these
ii is no matter how early stock is turned. The
grass here is not so valuable as on open lands,
and the leaves still upon the ground of the
previous years forest growth, are generally
sufficient to prevent its being poached; besides
it is necessary to turn out early on such pas
lures, in order to give the stock the benefit o
the browse.
When the early grass is eaten off too soon
it leaves the roots exposed to spring frosts; and
dry weather follows, the pasture will scarcely
recover all summer. But let the grass get
good thick start and then 4 not overstocked, i
will keep growing ill late in autumn unless
happens to be particularly dry.
Sufficient attention is not paid to our pas
lures. They ought to be narrowed ever,
spring, with fine, sharp. p.tooth harrow all th
manure droppings beat fine, and grass see,
sown over all bare or thin spots. After thi
a heavy roller NAV advantageousiy follow
Good pastures pay as large an interest as mead

should be taken of them. Moving land
