Practical Hints About Pastures. Ist. I am satisfied by observation and ex: ence that i: will not improve in fertility when cattle are taken out and kept in the barn yard nights. Consequently, if you wish to en- rieh your land with a view to plowing and crop- ing it, stock should remain on it nights as well as days. 2nd.

Such land had better be occupied with apple trees, sugar ma- ple. or even juous trees for tii ; espe- cially if one has smooth land e1 wh fer crop- ing Capen sergio both. Seed them down with joy muts if youcan do no better. Sheep in ‘ticular should be kept off such pastures, they ‘ing such excellent stock for improving the soil, and are seldom yarded nights. 3d, When it becomes necessary to renew pas- tures for the sake of the grass as pastures (ma- Dure, of course, if you can) but be sure to sow a good variety of grase In addition to the usual clover herd grass (timothy) sow red- top, June grass, orchard grass, and any kind and iron tree boxes and five thousand wooden ‘ones, to be made in conformity with specimens furnished by the beard.
