Can Grass Be Overdone?

Hogs are down. butter Is low. lie have
been at bed rock. horses fiuctuate. sheep
vary. What is stablee The field crops dis
appoint as much as the herds. Corn goes
and barley far below it occasionally. The
grass pasture is the fulcrum over which the
profitable farm levers are moved. Iowa Is
increasin her pastures and improving them.
Not one farmer In ten has as good pasture
as he should have. But the tendency -
toward better pastures. We are not in IA
yor OF radical increase or decrease of the
departments of the farm. no matter what
things fetch. A well -stocked farm should
not be hastily disturbed. The milch COW,
the young colts, the hog stock. the mutton
sheep, all are in place on the Iowa farm in
the great grass and corn belt. just now
butter and hogs are low. Well. who can
produce them cheaper than we cant Some
body will quit who cannot turn into such
pastures as ours, and who cannot get corn
and hay as cheap as we can. Hold a steady
hand. The pasture that is doing it's very
best 10 wonderful hearts ease when
things are too cheap to afford butter on our
bread. Turn in the hogs and let them eat
clover till prices mend. If butter is too
low to afford coffee for breakfast. let the
bud calves suck the poorer mixers and
lean to beef. The pasture will keep damp
and progeny without the least bother. Are
horses down. Turn into the pasture and
let the colts grow. But remember. you
must have q good pasture. You can have
it. You should have. Have it. if it takes
the moving lot to exc il out. A good pas
ture lengthens the fall and cheats the win
ter. 1t brings spring grazing to your farm.
while winter reigns ON your neighbours
poor pasture. Early maturity with profit is
not possible without plenty of grass at all
seasons. The first rate pasture enables the
farmer to do the best with his animals of all
kinds. 1t enables him to turn this way and
that, when prices are low. Somebody wants
Congress to build granaries to hold grain
for better prices. Grow grass and hold
your grain inside your stock over depressed
times. Prime pastures enable the farmers
to get profit. when poor pastures does not
put animals in condition to sell atall. Good
pastures excuse the corn-field and make fat
without it to a wonderful degree. Part of
our cOrn-felds then shonld grow grass.
Our best pastures have all the clovers,
timothy and volunteer fox-tail. We would
not SOW red top, because stock will not eat
it after il is grown as we'll as other grasses.
If rotation is to be followed, the clovers and
timothy are sufficient. If permanent
pasture is desired SOW bluegrass with the
clover and timothy. We have no faith in
timothy alone, except on low lands or ma
nured hill lands. Above all things have
surplus grass in July and August. If the
pasture get bare, add part of the moving
lot to it.

quite free and the demand was rather brisk.
Fluctuations in prices were confined within
