seeding Land to Grass.

Jt,s eenerally argued by farmers
that sowing large quantities OF nay
seed messurably diminishes the value
of M the product by causing the grass
e. GROW too thick and fine. 1t ap-
nssrs TO me that this is q very erro-
peous reasoning, for it must be OBJ
v,ous. / think, to every one, that two
tons of fine hay are worth more for
feeding cattle than two tons OF course
hay. Very course bay is rarely
eaten clean, even by hungry cattle,
whereas the same kind of hay, if
fine. will be sll consumed. Perhaps
in nothing can this case be more
clearly illustrated than in the clover
crop. If, insterd of sowing red elo-
yer seed broad cast, with the usual
allowance of from ten to twelve
pounds to the acre, we drill it in the
same as we do bean and ruta baga
seed. and allow the plants to stand
six or ten inches apart in rows, with
a space of eighteen inches between
every two rows, we shall find that
every stalk will attain a very large
size. 1t will be moody and hollow,
and utterly worthless as an article OF
food. but if, on the contrary, we sow
seed broadcast after the usual man
ner, allowing Is pounds. or there.
abouts, to the acre, the same soil
which produced the coarse, moody,
unsucculent stalks, will give us fine
hay. The growth will be dense, the
stalks small and nutritious, and the
yield, in tons, equal if not superior,
to that obtained from the drilled soil.
In regard to the cloyers, it may
not perhaps be unimportant here to
remark that their value, as feed for
stock, is in proportion to their foil
age-the haulm or stocks being when
Of large size, nearly innutrlcious, and
as a matter of course, worthless ex-
cept for bedding or manure, unless
they are chopped or steamed. The
same remark applies also to timothy
and other large growing grasses, ex
eept where they are used for horses,
and even in this case, / have my
doubts whether proper and judi
cious method of feeding would not
demonst ate the superiority Of the
finehay over that of coarse.
In several instances, the correct
ness of the old adage, "coarse hay
fer horses and fine hay for cows"
appears to have been successfully
controverted of late, both in this
country and in Europe; but it will no
doubt be long before the doctrine
will cease to be adhered to with us.
Old prejudices are tenacious and
yield only with the greatest difficulty
to new doctrines, however rational.
For my own part, l am, and long
have been, fully and clearly persuad-
ed that, in stocking down our lands
to grass, we do not as general
practice. allow sufficient seed to Sc
cure q good quality of hay. In most
cases the quantity, even where the
seed is good, should, l think, be
doubled to insure this result.-COr-
