THICK SOD AND PASTURE


The thickness of the sod in. a pas
ture determines the character of the
pasture. Every good pasture has a
thick sod. Thin sod means an i'm
poverished pasture, though this may
be due to overstocking rather than to
natural lack of fertility in the soil.
The thick sod depends on the fer
tility in the soil, the kinds of grasses
with which it is sown, the texture Of
the soil and the amount of pasturing
it has received. Where a pasture is
in the best of conditions it will have
from 100000 to $1,000 900 of plants
on every acre.
The number of plants on an acre of
poor pasture will often not run over
a million and sometimes not half
that. The greater the number Of va
rieties of plants growing on an acre,
the greater the number of varieties
of plants. This is due to the fact
that different plants use different
soil elements in varying amounts.
The larger the number of varieties
on an acre of pasturage, the greater
in the aggregate is the weight Of
heritage taken off in pasturage.
If the pasture has a thick sod
the owner may feel certain that it is
in good shape and needs little atten-
ton. If the sod is thin, the pasture
should be given attention at the ear
Hest possible moment. White clover
is good index of the condition of
the pasture. Where it grows luxu-
riantly, the owner may feel sure that
the soil is rich in phosrhates as well
as nitrogen and potash. IL. r., in

2. Preferably not, though it may be
necessary if the soil is soft or mucky

A well drained, gravelly soil is ideal
for a location. 8. The outside runs
should be divided by low concrete
wall eighteen inches to three feet
high; in this posts should be im-
bedded, to which the fence may be

also strongly recommend a similar

rheumatism Prescription.

Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity
by the increased use Of whiskey for
rheumatism. 1t is an almost infalli-
BILE cure when mixed with certain
other ingredients and taken proper
ly. The following is the formula:
zone ounce Of Toris compound and
one ounce of syrup Sarsaparilla com

whiskey. Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retira

FEEDING CATTLE IN THE BARN.

FEEDING CATTLE IN THE BARN.
Feeding cattle in the barn during
winter, though contrary to the ordin-
airy practice, has several advantages
over the custom of letting them feed
in the stock yard. The best the adj
vocates of the latter practice can say.
in its favor is that it saves labor in
storing hay, in foddering, and in
spreading the manure; but when the
value of the hay is considerably di-
.minished by exposure, not little of
it is trodden under foot and wasted.
more of it is required to keep up
the condition of an unsheltered ani-
NAL, much of the droppings of the
latter around the yard are wasted,
while the value of the remainder is
good deal lessened by free exposure
and the consequent escape of some of
its gaseous fertilizing elements. Keep
three or four head of stock in each
of the two ways for. single winter
