to admit of blowing; and for such, some
other treatment must be adopted. We speak
now more particularly of those that may be
plowed, If the owner is inclined. If such
n pasture is run out and poor in quality, we
NAV resort to a change of stock by stocking
with sheep for two or three years, but as
most farmers are disincined to that on ac-
count of the cost and fanced trouble, it
may be as well to pillow up. An old pas
ture, if it has been wisely and judiciously
treated and occasionally top-dressed, may
be better than a new one; but II it has been
oyor-cropped with one kind of stock ex-
clusiyely, as with dairy cows, it will gen.
erally be found best to plow and re-seed.
But suppose a farmer has decided to pillow
rs on the whole the best, it is question of
some importance as to what crop he will
nut in. He NAV start with the well-settled
principle that it is poor policy to exhaust
his land nv keepinp IL too long under the
nlow. and bv irving to raise grain in seed
inc down the grass. All things considered.
norbaps Indian corn is rs good and as

kind extensively on dairy farm. but in
the case referred to IL is desirable to Guilt
yate some crop as a means of reducing the
old sod. and corn can be turned to good ac
