SPRING PASTURE FOR STOCK
Expensive Feed Bills viii Be Saved
and Milk Flow Kept Up-Rye
and Glover Favored.
(By j. G.. wATsON.)

Are you preparing for early spring
pasture? Early spring almost invari-
ably finds us short of feed. How are
you planning for that shortage? Early
pasture will save expensive feed bills
and help keep up the milk yield. A
good fall and early spring pasture is
rye or a mixture of rye and crimson
clover. Early-sown rye gives con-
siderable feed in the fall but should
not be grazed too closely or the plants
may be winter-killed.
The clover crop makes about half
it's growth during the last 80 days of
it's grazing period, that is under nor
NAL conditions, so that it can be heav-
lily grazed during that time. This
should allow the permanent pasture
to get good start before turning on
it and it will be stronger and provide
more pasture than If grazed early.
Late fall and early spring pasture
means cheaper production and larger
yields.
