The agricultural department Of the
national government Is looking after
the question OF pastures more closely
than ever before. Some ol the work
it mas been doing during the past few
years is bound to be far reaching IN

the far west but also on the pasture

the best arabic land on the farm Is
generally found in pasture land and
that has never been disturbed since
the forest was cleared away In the

to the fact that IN the pastures are

70 consider how the yield Of pasture
grass may be increased 70 enable
COW to be supported on as few acres as
possible. As an index Of the progress
being made we recall a question that
was last week put 70 II. b. Gurier at
the dairymen's meeting al Aurora,
Illinois: How many COWS DO you sup

he could talk OF It as being 80 many

The care OF pastures may wee con
cern the department Of agriculture.
There Is no doubt that the poor care
given our pastures results IN Immense
losses to American farmers yearly.
There are hundreds Of millions Of
acres Of pasture land that are yielding
results only from the upper few
inches OF soil. with q foot OF son be-
low whose richness Is untapped This
Is due to the fact that SO little care Is
given the pastures that they are al

grasses are prevented from striking
downward.
The attention being given the vario-
ties Of grasses 10 Be grown should IN
auguiate a new era. The one or two
grasses that are nov so popular must
be supplanted by a great number of
grasses maturing at different periods
throughout the summer. There are
some additional features that must Be
considered. such as method IN grazing.

It is a noticeable fact that the in
huence Of horticultural conventions Is
on the Increase. This is perhaps large
" due to the advance being made in
horticultural education at our agricul-
tural colleges. The colleges are an
nually turning out students and are
also every year supplying more pro-
fessors as speakers at such meetings.
In the last few years a distinct Inn
provement has been. noticeable in the
quality Of the papers presented. This
condition should be recognized by the
great mass Of farmers and the conven-
tions should be more freely attended.
The improvement in travelling faciii-
