Your attention is called to the following facts and fig
ures: barn that will cost 500 will hold so tons of bal
ed hay Fifty tons Of hay put in the barn in July will
bring the next April 50 per ton than the same hay
would if stacked on the ground. Thus you have your
barn paid for the first year and have as much money for
your hay as you would have without the barn. The arg-
er the barn the better this rule will work. the capacity
will increase faster than the cost.

no difficulty in improving such land
with chemical manures in place OF
stable manure. The only question is,
which or what of the former is best to
use, and in what quantity? This &C.

ity, fertilizers are as durable as manure,
if proportionally used.

Renewing an Old Pasture.

Agricultural Editor Il have some
pasture land distant from buildings and
the road thereto part of the way has
steep grade; it has been pastured some
sixty years and needs new seeding to
grass. Query.-Can apply our COM
mercial fertilizers with satisfactory re-
suits both as to expense and durability?
Would you apply fertilizers in small
quantities (say 400 pounds to the acre)
or large (say 800 to ], 200 per acre)9 In
other words, if you intended to apply
ton would you put it on to one or more
grain crops? mean to include roots
when | say grain. l would like ad-
vice in the matter of crops to raise
when the application of fertilizers is
made. I have given you hint of what
I need, and if you have had any expert
ence in the line l would like to have
you give the result of your experience.
Give me, if you please, your opinion of
the best way to improve such and SINH
lar old pastures where English grasses
are gone and the feed is weeds and
bushes and our cultivated portions need
all the manure we make at our barns.
Can fertilizers be profitably substituted?
G. w. H. D., Plainfeld, VT.
REPLY.-We do not know about the
profit of using any of our costly fertil-
izers in renewing an old pasture. Some
thing would depend upon its actual
present condition. Mr.. Dwinell says
that the grass has so decreased that new
seeding is necessary; and if it is easily
tillable, we do not see why it can not be
treated as we do our lands more easily
accessible to the manure cart, substi-
tuting some simple fertilizer, not so ex-
pensive as our standard brands. Ashes,
or the potash salts, with fine bone,
would be likely to be useful; and even
a simple dressing of plaster would often
work wonders. If there is a good
chance of getting fair crop of some
sort of grain-rye, or barley, or rye and
oats mixed--so as to get fair pay for the
labor and purchased fertilizers, leaving
the pasture good deal improved as a
profit. it might pay to attempt it. We
are using, this spring, lot of dour-f fine
pure bone, supplied us by the Bradley
Fertilizer Company, which is cheap
way of adding phosphoric acid, COM
pared with using the high grade mixed
fertilizers. We do not like to give any
positive advice without knowing more
about the circumstances. 1t is not very
common to renew grass land in pasture
merely by scratching in grass and clover
seed without grain, but why wouldn't it
be the best way in many cases, supply
ing the land at the same time with
potash and phosphoric acid in their
cheapest forms, rather than to carry off
any of the fertility in grain crop? 1t
looks to us as though it would be a
good way to try some experiments in
this direction on small portions of the
pasture, and be guided by the results
Nitrogen in any form is costly as q
purchased fertilizer, and we doubt if il
is necessary to improve a pasture
though it is to grow grain or roots
Try plaster in one place, ashes in
another, fine bone and ashes in
another, or potash salts in place o.
ashes, instead of costly man ufactureC
fertilizers, or in comparison with them
! We should infer that though rather in

full and detailed account of method

it, and remove many of the risks at
tached to it under the old methods.
We do not see any price affixed to the

worth the money.

NOT only are the great farm indus
tries of that section actively and pros
perously pursued in the states referred
to in the above extract, but it is safe to
say that larger percentage of well-edu-
Gated men are engaged in farming
there than in much of the North; and
the interest in public schools and better
roads is fully as active, if we may Judge
by the correspondence of the CNItivator,
as anywhere in New England. Georgia
has recently elected practical dairy
man as its governor, and he received
the notice of his nomination while at
work at tho churn. Jersey cattle are
as great favorites there as here, and
prove well suited to the climate of the
middle South, which is naturally a great
dairy region, full of springs and water
courses, and rich as a grazing country
being, in short, much like Vermont.

the southern tour with Sherman know
