A WORD FOR PASTURES.
Should Pastures lie Rotated by Othe.
Crops or Remain Permanent

Should Pastures lie Rotated by Othe.
Crops or Remain Permanent
To answer the query, Should pasturm
be rotated, or should they remain per
manentl by plain yes or no would b.
like deciding a case before the evidence
was submitted. A New Yorker con,
siders the question as follows in letter
to American Cultivator:
Don't pillow up pasture unless You
are going to benefit it by the procedure,
and, on the other hand. don't see pas.
ture get sterile and thin of grass roots
without taking measures to rejuvenate
1t in some way. l say lin some way, "
because it is impracticable to thorough.
ly pillow and cultivate some of the hill
dairy pasture land in New York state
or in New England. In fact, there is
much of it that has never been plowed,
although it has been in pasture for up
ward of rs years. Such pastures are
about as permanent as can be found,
having become SO more from necessity
than from line of policy.
Now, no pasture is profitable, be it
permanent or transient, that takes three
or four acres to support COW. The old
billy grazing lots that cannot he recul-
tivated by blowing and rotating with
crops can and should be hetcheled over
with a sharp toothed drag this spring.
If needed, grass seed can be sown at the
same time, which will catch in the ex-
posed dirt of the torn sod. Top dressing
with manure will be twice as effective
it combined with the narrowing. OF
course do not nse spring tooth harrow
that will turn the sods over, but drag
with straight, sharp teeth that will cut
right through them. Don't be afraid
of injuring your pasture by this means.
Not a bit of it, for it will vastly i'm
prove the growth of grass. In some
parts of the winter wheat growing belt
farmers drag their wheatfelds every
spring, with result that it increases
the yield of grain.
The beneficial principle of narrowing
pastures lies in the fact that grass roots
and plants respond as quickly to the
stimulus of cultivation as do other vege.
table growths. In blowing up pastures
for the land to 60 through rotation of
crops before another reseeding do so for
some definite and wise reason and not
on vague principles.
Where the pasture field is infested
with foul growths, as Canada tbistles,
bushes, ETC., system of cultivation to
eradicate them Is Indicated. Then, again,
where innutritious grasses nave crowd
ed out the better varieties, summer fall
lowing should be practiced, followed by
cultivation and reseeding.

Spring Dwindling of Bees.

Bees that have passed through the
winter have grown old and will soon
disappear whenever they begin active
duties. If they are not substituted by
young bees, the hive will soon become
depleted. When thus reduced, the death
of the colony is a foregone conclusion
unless repla1ished with young bees and
Matching brood from other colonies. This
IS called by apiarists spring dwindling."
Sometimes it is induced by slight at
tack Of dysentery that so facilitates the
old bees that they grow weak and I'M
able to fly. Great numbers Of them will
be seen crawling about at the entrance
Of the hive.
Whenever any colonies are discovered
In such a pitiable plight, the first thing
to be done is to examine carefully for
the queen. If she is found and is de-
sirableq queen, it will be advisable to save
her. This can only be done by giving
her to some hive destitute of queen.
II there are none in this condition, go to
some strong colony and seek for a frame
containing brood and young bees just
Matching cut. Shake off the old bees
and leave as many Of the young ones as
you possibly can. Put this frame into
the reduced colony. Shut the hive up
close to prevent bees from escaping.
Keep up the temperature of the room
during the night and as long as the
weather is cold and chilly. This, says
The Farm Journal, will keep the brood
from perishing and cause the Matching
Of Young bees to go on until the number
10 sufficiently strong to take care Of
themselves. when the colony can be re-
turned to its old stand in the apiary.

Items OF Local Interest,

As rule, tobacco is improved by con.
tinuing the crop on the same field for a

Foreign seedsmen report = great
Scarcity of clover seed.
The officially estimated wheat yield
in Great Britain last year was 25. 95
bushels to the acre against 26.3s BUSH
els in 1892. This shows a decline of
about four bushels per acre, or Is per
cent. as compared with the average
yield previous to the great agricultural
depression.
More fodder can be got from an acre
planted to corn than from any other
crop. AS rule. the man who is down.

Is no chance to cultivate. Set them In a

grow a handsome orchard among them
The New England Homestead says:
The extra expense would be felt but
slightly, and the cost Of annual cultiva-
ton would not be increased. Culture
for either crop and the plant food fur
nished just suit apple trees. Such an
orchard well grown, trees SIS feet apart
each way, is estimated worth $500 per
acre by competent authority. Order the
trees early, cut them back closely, set

with tar paper to keep out borers.

Feeding Wheat to Stock.

In recent crop report the government
made an announcement of widespread
interest. 1t was that the returns of the
correspondents of the department
through the great wheat surplus states
indicate a new factor in the consump-
ton OF wheat-the feeding of the same
to hogs and other stock-a fact due, as
declared, to the unprecedentedly low
prices, the claim being made that this
mode of disposing of the cereal is profit
able as compared with marketing it for
human food. The significance of this is
enhanced by the official estimate that
the indicated stock of wheat in farmers
hands on March last was $1,000, 600
bushels less than 1t was estimated they
held at the same date In 1893.

Difference In Effect.

"What difference in effect do you find
between the fertilizer and manure?'
Certain plants, like radishes, grow
straight and better with fertilizers. The
fertilizers are warmer than manure
that is, in wet or backward springs. The
manure keeps the ground cold, so the
seeds will not start so we'll. Fertilizers
also hasten maturity, pushing along all
crops by several days ahead Of those on
stable manure. We always broadcast
all our fertilizer and harrow it in. Only
one application is made in the spring.
says The Rural New Yorker.

Growing CaulidoweF.

The caulifower crop differs but little
In it's requirements from the cabbage
crop. The former seems to need rich
Or, moister soil than the latter. A low
lying, rich, sandy loan near the sea-
coast is the ideal spot for growing cauli-
flower. AS in growing celery, it is bet
ter to manure heavily the crop proceed
Ing. Only well rotted manure should
be used at season of planting, and it is
best to broadcast this and give fiat cul-
tivation. Do not plant closer than by
feet, and the large leafed kinds should
have still more room, according to the
Philadelphia Farm Journal.
