A common practice among farmers

meadows as soon as the hay crop Is
cut on. II Is an old practice and q

In a dry year and TO see the green
grass growing is indeed a great temp

that 1t is not proper to pasture, pro-
viding that the young shoots are given
a chance first to gain size and luxuria-

Every farmer should SOW plenty of
fodder corn in early spring and sum-
