FIRST CLASS PASTURES.

Doubtless Georgia farmers will
read the heading of this article with
slight amazement, as | doubt if any
of them ever saw, in Georgia, a first
class pasture. The subject is no less
an important one to the Georgia
farmer, and | write this short notice
of the subject to draw out others,
and to cause thought to start up in
this direction. With the prospect
of increased stock raising, and growth
in the dairy business in the South
the pasture question is Of To mean
Importance Has it occurred to you
that to raise stock successfully you
must have good pastures? Do you
know that you cannot realize hand
some profits in the dairy business
without splendid pasture?
To get the full benefit of a pasture
two things are essential. Let the
soil be ever so rich, first class pas
ture must have age. 1t cannot be
made in one year or two. The older
it is, other things being equal the
better Only with the years does it
form the dense, compact, velvety sod
and the feeding qualities that are so
valuable.
The other thing necessary is that
it must never be cropped too closely.
Herein lies one great mistake. We
pasture so closely that the August
sun burns the very soil itself, and the
pasture in consequence is sick. We
pasture so closely that there is no
protection from the frosts of winter !;
hence, no early growth. This is all
wrong, a practice born of greed, and
like SO many greedy children, over
reaching themselves. Let your pas
lures grow long enough to form a
mulch to shade the sod in August,
and to keep it warm in winter. Let
them grow to ripen the grass, not
Che seeds of it, but to allow it to be-
come firm and solid, rather than
washy.
Texas blue grass, or Bermuda
grass are both fine for working up a
good pasture.

Wood ashes and plaster make an
excellent fertilizer of all kinds of
grass crops, and should be freely us
ed.
Clean cultivation is essential to
good crops. This often takes work,
pains taking, continuous hoeing, and
weed-pulling.
A whip in the hands of driver
who uses it freely on his horses is out
OF place. 1t should be laid across
his shirtlcss back.
An agricultural chemist says pota-
toes require most potash, beans the
most lime, corn the most phosphoric
acid and the cereals the most nitro
gen.
Raspberries throw up a great many
suckers, and these should be thinned
out leaving not over four cans to the
hill, so as to afford plenty of room.
Good seed is at the bottom of all
good farming. No matter how well
the ground may be matured and pre-
pared, if the seed is poor there can
be no success.
For the best egg production in
heavy fowls oats are as good feed as
any. They give bulk, while the nu-
trlment they contains is of the kind
which goes to make eggs rather than
fat.
When a bargain is made, its terms
to be fulfilled later, it is well to make
a memorandum of details, that suisse
quent disagreement may be avoided,
for one or the other party is likely to
forget the terms.
Short hay crops means cheap cattle
in autumn. But the farmer who
makes full provision for keeping can
buy and turn his fodder to good ac
count, not only in sales, but in added
value to the manure pile.
Time intelligently given to bees
will pay equally we'll with that given
to any other kind of farm work; and
where too many are kept it may be
done at such times as not to interfere
with other important work.
When hoe becomes dull it retards
work because OF the increased tax it
imposes GU strength. Sharpen it by
filing to a chisel edge. When sharp
1T works mucn more effectively, es-
pecially when there are weeds to
cut.
In breeding stock on the farm do
not be tempted to sell the best, but
dispose of the inferior animals first.
By carefully selecting and retaining
the best every year the value of the
stock will be increased and larger
profits secured.
The last month or so of a PIGS life
has great influence on the flesh Of
the animal. You can put on the
frame all through the year, but the
flavor is largely determined by the
feeding during the latter period of
fattening. The same is true of all
animals.
There is story Of brave and
magnanimous French officer who ran
the risk Of his opponents fire, letting
his own pistol of in another direc-
ton, but who, unfortunately, paid
insufficient heed to the direction tax
en- by the bullet. Monsieur" ex-
claimed this officer to his foe, sic
vous rends la vie'' and he fell into a
noble attitude, fired his pistol behind
him, and killed one of his own sec
onds on the spot.
