RenewIng old Mendows

Spring always finds the farmer with
plenty TO do, no matter how muCh he gets
done in tho fall, so IL is u good plan 20
do all that can be done i'm the fan in
order that all tho time OF spring MAJ be
used in %crowding the work of gettingin
the crops aad c%ultivaiing th6m early.
Those who keep the same piece of land
in meadow year after year, have probably
not ced that IL becomes thiCkly matted
and forms n compact sod, SO that there is
a meager or inferior growth Of grass.
Our W plan is to p ow up meadows be.
fore they get in this cond ton, but n
writer in the Wisconsin dg,iHi HP,t who
evidently has old meadows VIII Oh need
renewing, advocates the following plan
OF doing IL:
lie says because "A meadow falls OF in
productivcness, is not n sign that II is
worn out or exhausted as some farmers
are wont TO believe. Such meadows can
be greatly bene ted and u ado to yield
abundantly. IT has been our practice,
whcnever il waa found necessary, To sub
ject them 20 mechanical treatment and
the results have invariably bcen highly
satisfactory. The meagrr growth Of the
grass is due 10 the closeness OF the
plants, aud, therefore, all hat is neces-
ohi1 - " iuluf OF Wctn out inc Nl
per. uous growth, which is effectively
and readily accompl shed by passing
over them with a sharp toothed harrow.
A disc harrow will answer, but "tecth'
a~e prefc able. by tn operation the
sod is laccrated, the %rcrduudant
growth killed, and the remaining plants,
in conse ounce, make a luNuriant growth,
aud a large crop is the reward. THIS wo X
should be done either in The fall or in
the spring, ard, n tho $ d is, through
the harro wing, rendered rough or un-
even, IL Is well 20 pass over IL with n
heavy roller, so that the crop may be
cut near the ground when ba ing time
comes.
A judicious application of well rotten
barn yard man re at the same time,
would greatly increase its productive.
ness.
With this last statement we most
heartily agree. In fact IL would be no
wonder If IL was rot the wcll-Iotted
manure having a chance to work among
the roots because OF the stirred. up con
dition OF the meadow, that produces the
moro abund MT growth and tho better
quality Of grass. as much as the chin
ming process. Wcll-rOtted manure. any
fine manure. will help any meadow. II
you have any time to get IL ont and have
1t, do not let any manure stay in The
heap or barn yard through the winter
get it out now. Usually the meadow
can be got upon with q team and wagon
in the fall wish less damage than in tho
spring when the ground is soft.
