standbys during drouth emer-
gencieS.
An efficient forage system uses
several mixtures which supple
ment each other to furnish graz
ing more uniformly throughout
the grazing season. For instance,
a bluegrass-white clover pasture
may furnish enough grazing dur
ing the spring months, with
ladino clover-orchard grass fol-
lowing to strengthen the grazing
program during the summer.
The first cutting Of the ladino-
orchard grass pasture could be
used for silage or hay. Perhaps
a ladino-tall fescue mixture, on
either a damp soil or a shallow
or droughty soil, will be more
workable. Winter pasture mix
lures, and something such as
sweet sudan grass for added
drouth insurance in the summer,
should also be considered.
A mixture of alfalfa and or
chard grass also will provide
some drouth insurance. This
mixture is used mainly for hay
or silage; however. If you need
grazing and have more than is
needed for hay or silage, you can
use one cutting by grazing the
alfalfa rapidly, then giving it
enough time to recover.
Pasture is the cheapest feed.

well as climbing roses, pruning
is done so as to renew the top.
With few exceptions the Oldest
wood should be removed each
year. or put it another way. we
should take out from one-fourth
to one-third of the canes each
year. BY this method the top
will have no branches that are
more than 4 years old.
This method is based upon the
quality of the bloom as well as
keeping the bush from getting
too large, and to remove the old
scaly wood which so often har-
bors disease and insect pests.
The flowers produced on last
years growth usually are Of the
highest quality although on two
year old wood they are practi-
cally as good, but from then on
the decline is fairly rapid.
Cut Cones at Ground
In removing the stem S,
branches or canes, whatever
you call them, they should be
cut of close to the ground. For
this purpose the pruning shears
are apt to be too light and the
looping shears, those long
handled tools with cutting parts
that look like a hand pruning
shear, are best. But sometimes
it will take a pruning saw to do
the job on such strong growers
as the bush honeysuckle. The
preferred time for this chore is
Immediately after towering
next best time is now.
The pruning of the summer
towering shrubs such as the
p. G. and A. G. hydrangeaS
calls for a shortening OF the
branches. The harder they are
cut back the larger the blooms
will be, but of course. they can
be so large that they will hang
down to the ground-don't over
do it. Prune in March or early
April. Make all cuts just above
a leaf scar (bud) and treat the
cut surfaces with a tree dressing
or asbestos paint. =
The crepe myrtle is pruned in
much the same way. a moderate
~ severe cutting back is needed
in the spring to keep them from
growing too tall, also to encour-
age strong new growth. that. is,
the wood which carries the flow
ers. The heavier the pruning
the stronger will be the new
growth and the larger the flower
trusses. A good fertilization
should go along with this prun-
ing-prune in early April.
Trim Butterfly Bushes
The butterfly bushes need to
be cut back in late March so as
to keep them from getting too
tall and to encourage large bloom
panicles. In pruning the butter
fly bushes the cuts should be
made just above a bud-in April
they will have started into
growth and it will be easy to
see the place to make the cut.
In pruning the climbing roses.
that is. the large lowered
climbers. such as Paul's Scar,

ETC., the same plan Of re-

ticed as for the spring Towering

Several Seed Mixtures Used
In Pasture DEVELOPMENT

John r. Shoulders, associate
agronomist at VPI. says a good
way to begin planning for seed
ing pasture and forage crops is
to study the present pasture
acreages, the kind of grasses and
legumes being used, the kind
and amount Of hay crops and
the soil conditions of the fields.
He suggests that farmers ask
themselves these questions:
Do I have enough grazing for
my animals? What provisions
have I made for drouth insur-
ance? Do I have to feed hay or
silage when I could still be graz
ing the animals? Am I usually
short of high quality hay? What
pasture and forage crop mix
lures will best suit my farm
needs? Is my soil suited for
these mixtures? What about soil
fertility-and am maintaining
1t by proper lining and fertiliza-
ton? Do I have my tall-growing
pastures arranged so they can be
grazed rotationally?
These, Mr.. Shoulders says, are
important factors in developing
q pasture and forage crop sys-
tenn that will provide high-qual-
ity grazing from early in the
spring to late in the fall, and at
the same time provide hay or
silage for winter feeding or for

waiting to be gathered in.
I don't know who brewed the
first cup of sassafras tea, but
who ever it was must have been
pleased with himself. There is
nothing like 1t, and I know some
sections of the country where
the good old sassafras brew is a
regional drink.
I've heard it said that coffee
grows pale beside a good cup
of sassafras tea. That once you

not be happy with anything else.
And. too, instead Of just being

fras tea will toss you right up in

A touch of dyspepsia or a cold

ministrations of the boiled roots
of the sassafras tree.

of sticks under his arm, you'll

Opinions Differ
On Best Place
To Rear Dog
By Peter Boqqs

I have always claimed that the
city Is no place for q dog and
that any dog will fare better in
the country than in town. But
there seems to be a difference Of
opinion. Only recently q veter-
marian in New York said in
part:
Dogs adapt themselves to the
human mode Of living. They
survive longer with the COM
panionship of man. In the city,
the dog lives in an apartment.
In the country it probably lives
in the woodshed. City dogs are
fed with greater care and are
generally restrained from haz-
ards Of autos. snakes. wood
chucks and other dangers. The
city dog lives under better hy-
gienic conditions.
I can't agree with him in any
OF these statements. Even the
implication that an overheated
city fiat is a better place for a
dog to sleep in than a dry and
comfortable woodshed.
I also believe a gay cross
country gallop is better for dogs
than miles of slow leash walking
on hard pavements.
To compare a dogs age with
that of a man, you will find my
times 4 plus 20" formula the
most accurate.
For example. a dog one year
old would be considered to be
as old as a 24-year-old human
q times 4 plus 20 equals "a =.
A 5-year-old dog compares in
age to a man 40. A 15-year-old
dog to a man 80. The extremely
rare 20-year-old dog is as old
as the very rare human of 100.
In England If you are con-
victed of cruelty to a dog you
are forbidden ever again to own
one.
II your dog banks when you
leave him alone in your apart
ment. try leaving the radio play
ing softly. This will often quiet
him.
The best toy for any young
dog or puppy is an old shoe that
you have discarded. The tough
leather gives good exercise to
his jaws. It's scent helps to train
him in tracing your footsteps.
Cut away all the metal eyelets
and other pieces of metal from
the shoe beforehand.
