Some one asked, few numbers back Of this,
how to get his prairie set with the tame grasses.
In answer to this, would say, the easiest and
quickest way is to plow, and after subduing the
Wild sod, seed with the grasses. Another is Sc
we're aud continued grazing, especially with
sheep. The wild grass can't stand this, it will
Kill out and tame grass take its place.
Another very good way to get grass set, is 10
scatter cattle yard manure, made in summer
when cattle get white clover seed mixed with
their feed. My experience OF over thirty years
In the prairie state. is that the more manure onr
soil gets and the more farm stock that 10 kept on
our praires the better will be the grass In fact,
think no land should be set in grass unless ma
nure has been, o: is to be applied. If I could do
as wished at all times, / would never apply a
shovelfui OF manure in any other way than sur
face mapuring grass land, whatever may be said
or believed in relation to the atmosphere taking
up the manurial qualities. &C., &c
Then l would turn under my sod for grain
crop as wanted it. In this way L feel sure that
we get up a better soil for grain, especicslly the
small grain, and more than this. very much foul
seed gets destroyed which would other wise have
to be fought down by cultivaton.--A. NJ. in
