1t requires several years to secure
a pasture. For that reason it is better
to we'll manure old pastures, and keep
the stock ctf so as to renew them,
than to plow the sod under and at
tempt to begin new pasture. The
harrow may be passed over the
pasture where it can be done. and the
ground reseeded, but the manure is
the most important adjunct

half a pot of strawb berry jam, or q

Why have any dry fodder? Why
not put all the grass into the silo and
cut all the grain with stalkse This
question is often asked. Why not feed
the members of the family entirely ON
canned goods? Both questions can be
answered alike. Animals, as we'll as
men. need a variety. Cattle like a
little dry hay with their silage, and
there arc many ways In which it is
cheaper to feed dry grain alone.
Again. hay is a good crop to sell when
the silo is in proper operation.
What radical and wholesome
change 1t will be in American farm
ing says an exchange. when sheep
will be kept for the good they do on
the farm. On this basis there will be
40 stinting in food and shiftlessness in
iheir care and management, and these
attentions will beget desire for the
best. 1t costs so little to have good
aock of sheep that there is no excuse
for any farmer not availing himself of
hose efficient and CHEAP aids.
