NEW SEEDLINGS FOR PASTURE
Sheen Better Suited for Grazing Than
Horses or Cattie-Ryc Favored
for Fall Pasture.

New seedlings of clover and timothy
should be pastured lightly. Sheep are
better suited for this purpose than
horses and cattle, but care must be
used to prevent them grazing the new
meadows too closely. Stalk fields,
from which the corn and stover have
been removed, furnish considerable
feed In the form Of grasses, weeds and
an occasional stalk and ear of corn. 1t
is well to allow the stock to clean up
this feed that would otherwise go to
waste. In order to provide more good
fall grazing 1t is n good plan to sow
rye at the last working of the corn
crop.
