LATE FEEDING.
The Damage Done by Cattle Feeding In
Moving Fields.

Those who will persist in pasturing
their cattle in their moving fields in the
autumn should remember that il they
will take them out early enough TO give
the grass time TO start, so as TO afford
some protection to the roots when cold
weather comes, the injury to the next
years crop will be much less than II
feeding is continued until winter sets in.
There Is another reason why late feed
ing should not be permitted, which is,
after the heavy rains come the
ground softens so that the feet Of the
cattle, especially on low land, sink in
quite deep, not only making the sur
face Of the land very uneven, but press
ing many Of the grass roots so deep
that they send up but a feeble growth
the next year, and il also exposes the
roots Of the grass on the edge of the
holes, so that many of them are entire
j. killed by the winter
While we do not believe that now
ing fields should be fed ut all, except in
very rare cases, and for some especial
reason, we are willing To admit that IL
fed only in the early part of the au-
tumn, when the land is hard, and there
is get time TO give the grass a chance
to grow enough 10 protect the roots
during the winter, the injury is com
paratiycly light, SO that with plenty Of
manure the crop the next year may be-
quite large; hut when farmers will per-
sist in feeding so hard and so late that
the grass roots have no protection, tho
loss is irreparable;no amount Of manure
will secure large first crop of hay the
next season; besides, the land is made
so uneven by the feet Of the cattle that
II is difficult TO cut the little grass that
does grow. The farmer who is short

season had better hire pasture
than 10 injnre his moving land by
feeding IL; riff he can not readily hire
pasture, II would be- better to feed his
cows at the barn night and morning a
few months We have seen two now
ing fields side by side, where one was
fed until winter set in and the other
never fed and Notwithstanding the
one fed was heavily manurcd every
year, and the one not led manured hut
very lightly once in several years, tho
field that was fed was wintcr-killcd so
bad that il did not produce so much rs
the field that was not fed; in fact, often
considerable portion Of II would be
so badly winter killed that IL would
produce but very little except worth
less weeds As there was nothing but
fence that divided the two fields, aud
the soil being alike, it was full proof
that the cause Of being winter-killed
was the late feeding. The owner con-
Hnued the same course year after year,
though tho evidence Of his bad man
agement was continually before him

Green Manuring.

The subject oi green manuring Is by
no means new, but yet it is very little
understood by the large majority Of
farmers. Like many other important
matters i, is very simple when under
stood. The plain fact upon which It IL
based Is simply that a crop which is
deep rooted brings up from the sub-sOil
. large quantity OF the elements OF fer
tility which are below the reach Of the
roots OF other plants which are only
surface rooted, and when this crop Is
plowed under II adds this contribution
Of rich matter 10 the surface, where IL
is equivalent 10 a liberal application Of
manure. II Is easily seen that this
practice Is not adapted 30 poor soils

crops, and moreover il Is really An OK
