JUNE GRASS FOR PASTURE
Pastures Give Way Eventually to
June Grass.
BY r. S. SHAW.

The question Of establishing per-
manent pastures on Michigan farms
arises most largely in connection with
lands not well suited to crop produc-
ton, such as are too rolling and
broken or of unsuitable texture and
composition. A great many perma-
nent pasture mixtures have been rec
commended, but all seems to give way
eventually to June grass. In 1908
about 40 acres Of rolling land on the
college farm was seeded to a perma-
nent pasture mixture of the follow
ing composition, viz: Red clover, al
sike and white clover, timothy,
orchard grass, red top and meadow
and sleeps fescues, without any June
grass seed. Six years later almost all
plants of the mixture had disappeared
and June grass had taken complete
possession. This seems to be the
general results from such attempts
under southern Michigan conditions.
The June grass pasture now remain
ing is furnishing abundant pastur-
age. but the hill tops have been dress
ed with stable manure once or twice
since the seeding was made.

AS TO PASTURING ALFALFA
Too Valuable as Winter Forage In
Michigan to Abuse by Pas
turing.
BY r. s. SHAW.

Three years ago a portion Of field
number five on the college farm was
seeded to alfalfa with a slight
sprinkling Of orchard grass and al.
sike clover in addition. The art Of
the field thus seeded consisted of a
gravelly slope which was inclined to
wash badly. The stand procured rep
resented the three crops about in the
proportion sown. All Of the crop was
cut for hay the second year while the
third year part was pastured and part
made into hay. The yields of hay
from the first cutting were enormous,
the orchard grass aiding materially
in the curing and keeping in the NOW.
Second cuttings consisted almost en-
tirely of alfalfa. This year large
percentage of the alfalfa is missing
where the mixture was pastured close
~ and persistently by calves lost sum-
mer and in its place there seems to
be large amount Of June Grass. The
percentage of orchard grass seems to
be unchanged Directly across the
fence where the crop was not pas
tured the proportion of alfalfa remains
undiminished AS a general rule, al
falfa grown in Michigan is too valu-
able as a winter forage to abuse or in
jure by pasturing.s

Situated In the English channel
about 20 miles west of France and 100
miles south of England is small
group of islands known as the Channel
Islands. Although nearer France they
are English territory. The largest or
these islands Is Jersey, the second in
size is Guernsey, the third is Alder
ney, and there are several other small
err ones just off Guernsey. This group
of islands, while very inconspicuous on
the ordinary maps, has become noted
in every dairying district Of the globe.
This reputation Is mainly due to the
fact that more than a hundred years
ago some wise breeders living within
their borders foresaw the results Of
mixed or mongrel breeding and caused
laws to be enacted which excluded all
slaughter
The present day type Of the Jersey
and Guernsey is due to this policy
coupled with wise mating and selec-
ton through long series of genera
tons.
While the Jersey and Guernsey have
many points in common 1t Is Of the
Guernsey that we are asked to write
at this time.
The Guernsey is distinctively
dairy cow, having been developed with
that sole object in view. Further she
has been reared as butter producer,
butter being the chief dairy commod-
ity marketed from the island. Conse-
quently she is better adapted to a
creamery or market milk trade than to
a condensing or cheese producing Sec
ton.
Guernsey Island is smaller than one
Of Michigan's townships, and an inten-
sive system of farming has been i'm
perative. The methods Of manage
ment practised are those which would

A burglar was arrested for robbing

AS soon as he could get his breath to

"Well, / guess not!" exclaimed the

well as muscle In such a school the
boy and girl would be able to get
high school education and live at home
upon the farm.
The school would be the social as
we'll as the educational center of the
tovnship-the rallying point where the
citizens could go and hold meetings;
it would develop the social life, would
be strong and helpful, and the young
people would find in the central school
and the associations that go with il,
and the school spirit that would be
developed, a satisfying condition that
would make life upon the farm at
tractive instead of otherwise.
Another handicap to progress and
menace to our whole country, that is
very larely traceable to bad roads,
is the fact that so many thousands Of
farms are passing from the hands of
owner into the hands of tenants. The
weaving Of the children from farm
carries the patents away when adj
vancing years makes it necessary for
them to lay the burdens down. We
are building up peasantry Git sounds

A change to the right kind Of food
can lift one from sick bed. A lady
in Weldon, ILL.,, says:

by sick headache. l got worse and
worse until l became so low l could
scarcely retain any food at all, al
though tried about every kind.

death, until one day my husband, try
ing to find something l could retain,
brought home some Grape-Nuts.
ITO my surprise the food agreed
with me, digested perfectly and with
out distress. l began to gain strength
at once. My flesh (Which had been
flabby), grew firmer, my health i'm
proved in every way and every day,
and in a very few weeks l gained 20
pounds in weight

not conduce to large size, and the
breed is not more than medium; ma
ture cows averaging somewhat up
wards of 1000 lbs. Previous to impor-
tation into the United States much
less attention seems to have been Civ
en- to style, symmetry, and external
appearance in this breed than in some
others. the objects sought by breeders
being a useful rather than a beautiful
animal, and an animal giving a large
amount Of rather highly colored dairy
products.
If we consider numbers Of animals
in the United States the Guernsey Is
considerably below the Jersey and the
Holstein. There are two chief reasons
for this, first their comparatively late
introduction and discrimination in
their country, and second the limited
area of their native home.
The character of the Guernseys Sc
lected for the Pan American Model
Dairy and the sensational work Of the
COW, Mary Marshall, seemed to bring
the Guernsey breed into considerable
prominence. A vigorous plan OF ad-
vertising followed by the Yeksa Sun
beam and her successors have further
increased the popular interest in
Guernseys, and extended their repu-
tation into dairying sections, in some
of which no representatives or at least
only few members Of the breed can
be found.
That the Guernsey cow will in time
exclude the other dairy breeds is not a
matter of serious thought by any one,
but that she is entitled to an equal
place among them is universally con-
coded.

COW, Mary Mcfarland, and shows an

sion, made up Of eminent educators,
thoroughly familiar with our condi-
tons, has been studying this subject
for long time, and it says that the
solution Is only to be found in the
consolidated township school, where
instead of eight or ten isolated school
houses, placed at intervals at the cross
roads throughout the township-bleak,
dreary and uninviting-there should
be one central graded school at the
most convenient central point, and pro-
visions made to take the children to
and from the school. Good roads are
necessary If this is to be done. The
school ought to have at least five acres
of ground to serve as a miniature ex-
pertinent station for the study of agri-
culture, the cultivation of which will
increase interest in agriculture and
show that farming requires brains as

head, resting at the ends between the
posts. This permits pigs to be driven
out or in, or the cleaning of the pens
from the alley.
The V shaped troughs are preferred
because they are more easily cleaned
and less filth collects under them. On
the under side of the V shaped trough,
next the alley, the floor is always dry
and on the pen side it can be cleaned
thoroughly and is always exposed to
the air Flat bottomed troughs are
good for out door feeding where they
are moved about frequently, they are
not so easily upset as the V shaped
ones.

One of the great world questions is
that of good roads, and the sooner the
people wake up to the fact the faster
and surer will our progress be toward
higher and better things.
There is a widespread clamor for
parcel post and strong influences are
at work to get the federal government
committed to 1t. The indications are
that it will be tried out ON a moderate
scale. Whether the parcel post will
prove a blessing or otherwise Is an
open question, and one we will not at
this time discuss. We may say, how
ever, that any attempt at the parcel
post that contemplates extending the
service to the rural mail routes will
prove a disappointment. The condi-
lions OF the public roads are such that
for weeks at a time it would be physi-
cally impossible to make delivery. The
If he starts out with fifty pounds over
bad roads it is a heavier burden than
five times the weight over a good road.
Given the parcel post in full swing
and without doubt the weight the car
rier must handle will be many times
what 1t is now. Any one familiar with
conditions will say that without good
permanent highways the delivery Of
packages over rural routes will be a
physical impossibility. The first thing
to strive for is good roads; let the
parcel post come later.

BIG HANDICAP TO PEOPLE
Costs Much More to Haul Produce

BY HOWARD II. GROSS.

When one makes study Of this
great subject and sees in how many
ways the march Of progress is re-
tarded by miserable highways the
country over, and realizes what a
burden this handicap places upon the
people, it is surprising that the whole
population does not rise as one man
and demand that the highway condi-
tons shall be improved to the standard
required for the twentieth century.
Road advocates have shown for
years and years how much more 1t
costs to haul produce over bad roads

question whether we are not establish
ing here In the central west the con-
ditions that have been the curse of
Ireland for three hundred years. The
result of this condition Is that the soil
Is losing its fertility; the farm is be-
coming foul; noxious weeds are grow
ing; the landlord squeezes the tenant
for all the rent that is in sight and
the tenant takes 1t out Of the farm; he
cannot afford for the short lease of
one or two years to buy fertilizers;
he must simply rob the soil for all
he can get and turn 1t over to his sue
cessor in worse condition than he
found 1t. He cannot go into stock
farming on short land tenures, so he
must be what is known as a grain
farmer, and this takes the life out of
toe soil. The greatest economic men
ace OF the world today, bar nothing,
is the depletion of soil fertility, and
this will go on as tenantry increases.
Thus we see a few of the very many
drawbacks that are directly and in
directly due to bad roads, and we may
add to the list, as stated by the de-
partment of agriculture, that the cost
of moving farm products to the market
and getting supplies back TO the farm
over bad highways causes an extra
expense of at least S3.o) per person

progressive lines. It renders a surer
and larger return than anything else
in the worlds work, yet the fact re-
mains that the boy Is not satisfied
with farm life. With good roads, so
he could get out whenever he desired
to with his best buggy and girl, or
perhaps an automobile, country life
would take on an entirely different
aspect.
The handicap of the bad road Is GER
tainly a heavy one and Is farreaching.
Education has suffered greatly by rea-
son of it. The country schools are
little, IL any, better than they were
forty years ago. 1t is an open question
whether they are as good. The wages
paid the teachers are small. The
number of pupils is very limited
sometimes three or four-often not
over a dozen or fifteen. There Is no
school spirit; there Is no anything
but dreariness and drudgery with little
progress toward education. When the
boy and girl get old enough to realize
this condition and the parents see 1t,
there is nothing to do but send Johnny
or Lizzie to the nearby town or city,
where the schools are beyr and
where there is an opportunity getting
the rudiments of an education, and
while Johnny and Lizzie are picking
