Evil of Overlooking Pastures

The over stocking Of land is one of
the surest and and quickest ways Of
running pastures.-It is an every day
thing with many farmers who cannot
be made to believe that they are get
ting the full benefit of their pasture
unless the grass is eaten off little
faster than it has time to grow, con-
sequently, all who put this method
into practice always have bare pas
lures and poor cattle. The advan-
tages to be derived from allowing the
grass to gain on the cattle during the
growing season are many some OF
which are the following: Cattle keep
growing all the time, and come to ma
turity the proper age. Cattle kept
constantly on bare pastures never ma
ture properly; those kept on good pas.
ture do not have to work day and
night to satisfy craving appetite or
use up all their food in building up a
system continually worn down by la
Dor and semi-starvation. A good COW
ering of grass is protection to the
land in warm weather; it protects the
Young grass from the effects Of cold,
dry weather between the rains Of Win
ter, so the new grass will be growing
under a covering Of the old, when that
on bare ground will be somewhat lit.
orally starved to death. old and
new grass when eaten together, is bet
ter for cattle than all new while the
seeding Of the matured grasses keeps
up the full variety of those kinds ma
tive to the soil.-Consequently, pas
lures thus treated produce more food
for stock during the year than those
kept continually eaten down to the
bare earth.

Care Of Sheep.


In pasturing sheep and lambs the
benefit is not only to the animal, but
to the pastures, which are greatly i'm
proved. Sheep are very indiscrimi-
nate feeders, and will bite not only
grass, but also shrubs, weeds and e7-
cry green thing that starts in early
spring, and thus destroy and keep
down most o:the foul stuff that usurps
the place Of grass; and they tend to
leave the pastures clean for fine grass
to grow. Their manure also, scatter
cd in small quantities as they travel
over the ground, is readily absorbed
BY the earth and becomes tie best
plant food possible, and accompIishes
what cannot we'll be done by grub.
bing or top dressing to renovate pas
ture land 1t is important that the
fences around sheep pastures should
be close and we'll kept, especially that
walls should be we'll laid up and holes
and gaps in rail fences thoroughly
stopped. The Downs and all mutton
sheep are not disposed to jump, and in
a good pasture, with reasonable pro-
lection, may be restrained almost as
easily as horned cattle, but if there is
broken rail in the fence or if there
is a place where the wall has been
tumbled down so as to form almost a
series of steps over which they may
pass. they are quite likely to take ad-
vantage Of the owners negligence and
seek larger liberty. Polling stone
wall if the sheep are not properly ed
ucated to stay within the pasture is
not very expensive, and single bar
bed wire stretched along about a foot
above the top Of the wall is sure
prevention to escape. While sheep
require less water in proportion to
their size than other animals, yet
They should have access to good water
and should be sailed once a week.

Is HOrse-ShOeing Useless ?

A recent issue of the Frazer's Mag.
azlne, contains an article by Sir George
W. Cox in which he estimates that the
English custom Of horse shoeing costs
the nation annually as much as $42,.
100000, which might be saved if the
horses were left go unshod. He quotes
from Xenophon who marched his bor-
ses unshod from Cunaxa over the Ar.
menian Highlands to the walls of Ire
blond, down to the free lancers" Of
the present day, and contends that it
is safer, cheaper and better to let the
horses go unshod over the hardest
roads; and especially in the slippery
streets of London. He estimates that
over twelve million dollars would be
saved in the farriers' bills alone and
he calculates further, that the work.
ing life of horse would be trebled
by the change, so that the horse that
is worn out at twelve years would
live to twenty.six. The figures seem
somewhat startling and have hardly
been sufficiently proved to be trust
worthy. Meanwhile it is said that a
medical man in Waterbury, Conn, has
not put shoes on his horses for two
years, driving them Winter and Sum
mer, Spring and Autumn with bare
feet without any trouble. The doc.
tors theory is, that nature has provi.
ded for the horse; that a horse can
travel over all kinds ofroads; that the
boot will be moist and that the frog
coming to the ground keeps the hoof
spread properly spread, and free from
felnder and other diseases.
