Permanent Pastures.

There IS a good deal Of discussion
going on as to the value of permanent
pastures. Some contend that land
worth 500 per acre is too valuable to
be given over to grass when enough
feed can be grown on one acre to sup
port a cow. At first glance there would
seem to be some reason in this argu-
ment. but the fact is that the expert
ence of the civilized agricultural world
shows that beef can be grown at less
cost on permanent pastures than by
soiling or any other method. But to do
this their best pastures must receive
intelligent attention, as grasses have
tendency TO run out. This can be rem
edied by disking and narrowing wher-
ever such work is needed. Many Of our
best grasses seem to become tired and
