PRESERVING PASTURES. Among
many propositions to renovate the pas
turc one has been largely overlooked
management. 1t Is the cheapest and
most practical manure on the farm.
Tho common plan is to have but one
pasture, upon which cattle must Craze
at all times. II 1t comes to tho bare
SOD during seasons of extreme drouth
the stock must continue to grub at the
sod for want Of better. This exposes
tho roots of tho grass to the sun and
Injuries or destroys the plant. Suppose
wo use our trees and shrubs In that
way the detrlment to growth would be
at once apparent. A good top Oh grass
Tor growth Is as necessary rs upon
trees.
That one hundred acres Of land In
pastures will keep one third more stock
than the same number OF acres In one
pasture has long been known to the
practical farmer. The reason Is that
the stock can be removed before 1t has
grazed the pasture too closely, before
the roots Of the grass arc uncovered. A
plan that will renovate hundreds OF
pastures In Iowa Is this: Let The grass
have good start in the spring, say
four Inches, before turning on the
stock, and change pastures as often
as the pastures appear to be closely
grazed.
