Permanent Pastures.
i Sope four, years ago moat of the agri-
cultural papers in the country devoted
a groat deal of attention to the matter
of permanent pastures. Persons who
had visited England and Holland said
that an acre of land in these countries
supported a cow or,steer during the
entirejf’ear. A few of them expressed"1
the opinion that as good pastures could
be obtaiued in this country if farmers
would a<jdpt the English and Dutch
plan of preparing the soil, and would
•ow the proper kind of seed. It wu
declared that the pastures in England
and'Holland continued to support a
-oeW pHF Mere for anr indefinite time
Several farmers in the eastern states
followed the directions given for pre-
paring permanent pastures on the for-
eign plan, but they generally reported
that they had not been successful. They
.gave .many and Various—reasons-- for
their failures. “ ~ .

should be Tut for hay two or three
years, when the lapd should again be
devoted to pasture purposes. .They
generally agvfeed, iu Mating that the
natural tendency of other than blue-
grass pastures in this country was to
“run down.” They affirmed that the
red clover and timothy disappeared in-a
few years, and that inferior grasses,
seeds, and mosses took their place. In
ordor to get a productive sod It was
nece&ary to break up the ground, and
inditue to reseed to grass and clover.

has been recently done in preparing
- pastures superior to those in Europe.
In a long article on the subject he says:'
Near Brockville twenty acres

profuse Was the first year’s growth that
pasturing and baying had to be fttopL-
«d in order to prevent smothering.
The second year was pastured, when
fully two head of cattle were kept per
aoref during the third year twenty hows
wero grazed up to July 11, and then
ten tons of first-class hay were har-
™ted from one-half of the field, and
* kfter the hay was removed seventeen
cattle wire grazed for the remainder of
the season, reaving the pasture with a
w much better bottom. The entenpris-
t Jug farmer in this example gave par-
{ tlouliir attention to the effect <m the var-
iety of grasses and cloven upon dairy
products. He says: “The milk pro-
duced was richer and of a peculiar fi$-
