Shall We Pasture Our Meadousl

ANOTHER important question or con.
sideration for farmers, but, like many
Others in the science of agriculture. IL Is
one which, though direct question, can
not be answered by either yes or no, but
condttionday, IL we may be allowed that
term. IL, however, there should be one
among the ten thousand Journal readers
who would invariably respond to the
above interrogation in the affirmative, we
would to you personally submit the fol-
lowing case II your meadows were wet
ana newly seeded, your pasture in excess
oil your stock, butter and beef at low fig
ures, and 1t being autumn your meadow
was so located or elevated as to lie bare of
snow through the winter months, would
you, under such circumstances, allow
your stock to Craze upon il, trampling
the grass in the wet soil under their feet,
pulling the grass out by its half.formed
roots, or closely feeding the same until
the roots become bare, and then exposing
the same uncovered to four or five months
of severe winters frost ? If you still per-
sist in your affirmative reply, then, truly,
you have mistaken your calling as far.
mer or tiller of the soil. And, converse.
ly, to him who would persist in answer
ing the Interrogation Invariably in the
negative, we say If Git being au-
tumnl your meadows were dry, and con-
tanned very heavy growth of aftermath,
butter or milk at fabulous prices, and
you were intending to plow the
meadow the ensuing spring, and your
cattle In flesh resembling "Job's
off OK, " would there be any positive in
jury to such meadow to allow that heavy
growth of aftermath to be at least half
fed off, Thus II seems that in the solu.
tlon Of this problem there are many
things to be taken into account, the con.
dition of the soil, whether newly seeded,
wet or dry, the growth OF the aftermath,
the price of butter, stock, hay, etc., the
excess or insufflciency of the regular pas
ture, feed, or sowed fodder for the stock,
the location of the meadow as regards
the wind and snow; also, whether the
hay is to be sold, or at least taken off, and
no equivalent in the form of manure re
turned.
To the interrogation at the head OF
this article we give the following general
answer: Except in some extreme cases
as great scarcity of hay, etc., do moi
pasture the meadows in the spring, and
seldom in the autumn, unless the after.
math be heavy, and then at the most moi
to exceed one half or three fourths of the
