KEEPING THE PASTURE CLEAN

Clemson College.-The success OF
the livestock business in this state is
based pretty largely on good pas
lures, says Prof. L. V. Starkey. chief
of the animal husbandry division, in
urging farmers to clean up pastures
during the winter preparatory to
further attention next spring.
Now is the time to cut the bushes
pick up the stones and barbed wire
and get eserything out of the way
which will catch that moving ma
chine sickle next spring. After the
grasses and weeds come up in the
spring it will be hard to locate all
such trash, which will damage the
moving machine.
When the weeds appear next
spring a moving machine should be
run over the pasture. Nothing will
improve Jul pastures more than
frequent use of the moving machine.
which is an enemy to the weed and
a friend to the grass. It surely
pays to. keep the weeds cut.
Did you ever stop to think just
how much better it makes the farm
look to have the weeds and brush
cut? An old man said one time to
the writer, "Show me a man who
keeps his pastures clean, and I'll
show you a good farmer" The
more one thinks over this statement
the more true it seems.
