used for several years, and is perfectly
convinced of its excellence

place a board so that the rats may have
easy access to the top sprinkle cheese

1t is very bad economy to allow stock to
crop your meadows in early spring. Stock
will tramp up and pack the wet soil, and
their track can be traced the whole season.
Besides it is very detrimental to the grass.
The first growth is always the most yigo-
rous, because of the spring rains ; ifthis is
cropped, most grasses start again from the
root. This makes the hay crop later and
always diminishes the aggregate to much
greater extent than the benefit afforded to
stock by halfa bite Of early grass.
The best way we can recommend, is to
pay especial attention to stock by giving
the very best hay, roots, bran or meal. and
keep them from grass until they can get a
full bite.
