place, close grazing materially les
sens the quantity of feed produced
and shortens the life of the pasture.
Pasture plants must he allowed to
produce plenty of green leaves if
they are to be strong and vigorous,
for the green leaves have been right
ly styled the "digestive' organs of
the plant. Close grazing weakens and
finally destroys the most of our pas
ture plants and gives weeds chance
to come in and occupy the ground
1t is apparent, then. that pastures
should be allowed to get good start
before the stock are turned in. Es-
pecially is this true if the pasture
is new. Land that is sOwn in the
early fall usually has not made suf-
ficient growth to be grazed until late
the following spring.
Experience has thoroughly demon
strated that pastures are most sue
cessfully managed when we'll fenced
and divided into number of fields.
This makes it possible to restrict the
stock to any Enclosure and 20 change
them from one pasture to another as
the feed becomes plentiful or scarce.

newed in growth and freshness.
Winter Feed
While the climate west of the Cas-
cade mountains is such that stock
may be pastured during practically
the entire year, stOckmen must count
on doing some winter feeding. Hay
for the winter may be produced in
two ways: Cd The logs, tree tops.
and other rubbish left by the fire
may be piled and burned and the land
seeded to grass Hay for winter feed
ing may then be cut from among
the stumps. Hay is not infrequently
produced in this way by the small
farmers until they are able to clear
the land of the stuIcps. Enough
land may be entirely cleared and put
into cultivation to produce the re-
quired winter feed. 1t is usually pos
sible to find moist, fertile areas of
land here and there which may be
cleared and used for this purpose.
The necessity of winter feeding
may be greatly reduced by providing
good winter pasture. This is done
by removing the stock early in the
summer and allowing the pasture to
produce the greatest possible growth
of stems and leaves during the late
summer and autumn months. When
the grasses practically cease growing
in the late fall the stock are turned
into the winter pasture to feed upon
the growth made during the autumn.
This necessitates subdivision OF
the pasture. Some prefer to use the
newly seeded land for winter grazing.
In this case the burned over area is
seeded in the early fall and the pas
ture is not grazed until year from
the following December. This gives
the plants a chance to produce seed
during the first summer and to be-
come deeply rooted and we'll estaD-
lished.
Stock to Pasture
There are two important problems
which must be taken into considera-
ton in using logged-off land for pas
ture plants. The second difficulty

Prohibition Retained.


The governor and council have de-
clared the result OF the vote on Sept.
II on the amendment relating to the
prohibitory clause OF the constitution,
stating that the proposition to repeal
the amendment was defeated by 1853
votes, the figures being 60,0e5
for repeal; 60,s5s against, the total
vote being 120, 94s.
Gratifying as this result is to the
prohibitionists, the majority is moth
ing like what was expected, and
naturally those who favor repeal are
mot only jubilant, but already they are
preparing to test in some form the
question over again.
The governor announces that he
will call a special session of the legis-
lature, probably in February, for the
purpose of reporting to it as required
by the terms OF the resolve; also for
the purpose of making such changes
in the election laws as the last election
showed to be necessary, and further
for the purpose OF again attempting
to repeal the prohibitory amendment
to the constitution.
The vote in September shows that
the town opposes prohibition, while
the country favors it. So the COVER
nor suggests an amendment to the
constitution giving license to town
and prohibition to country heads
