Pasiuring Wheat BY Cattle.

The results OF two years' sxpsri-

Kansas station is thus reported upon by
Professor shelton Aa accurately
measured half acre was fed off closely
during tho TAI! months. THIS half acre
was pastured by q considerable herd at
different times, the total grazing
amounting 10 lGI hours by a single an.
imal. The wheat upon this pastured
area seemed not TO suffer much from
the Increased demands upon il it was
slightly shorter than she unDastured
portion Of the Ge.d, and the time or

have teen somewhat checked, although
not enough 20 influence the time OF
harvesting.
Comparing this passured half acre
with an adjoining half acre, unpsstur-
ed, we find that the pastuIeG area gave
yield OF 1l.23 bushels Of grain aud l ..
l5O pounds OF straw, while the unpas-
tured area gave 1873 bushels of grain
and 3Q2 pounds of straw. These dg-
ures seem to show loss by pasturing.
The difference In yield, however, is
clearly chargable TO another cause
the unpastured area had Jatter soil ana
a thicker and more even stand to begin
with than that when WAS pastured,
This difference is amply sufficient to
