R. F. D. 2, Logansport, Ind.
VERY farmer who has
made or tried to start a
pasture will agree that it
it not done simply by go
ing out and scattering a
lot of seed on the ground.
Sowing the seed is only a small part
of making and keeping suitable pas
tures. Many fail by ignoring factors
that contribute to the successful es
tablishment of pastures, so I wish to
call attention to an old friend who
has learned the art after a lifetime's
experience on very rolling farm land.
He told me once that he took his
time starting a pasture, that is, after
getting it started, he never turned
livestock onto it until he was sure
they would not injure it in any way.
It is far more advisable to keep the
stock off and give them dry feed or
silage until the grasses have thor
oughly established themselves and be
come sturdy. This may run well into
May. The early growth is not so
nutritious for livestock and if the
plants secure a good start the pasture
will yield heavier all through the rest
of the season, so nothing is lost'
through late feeding.
In his system of utilizing pastures,
he follows a plan that is admirable
from several angles.- He never keeps
less than two 10 to 20-acre fields in
pasture. Before the war he main
tained three to four fields, and is get
ting back to four fields now. These
fields encircle the main farm buildings,
with a spacious barnlot in the cen
ter. The pastures connect directly
with the barnlot, so that entrance to
other fields is either through a pas
ture lot or down a lane.
OVERGRAZING WILL
RUIN GOOD PASTURE
With an arrangement of this sort
he or his workmen'or family can see
the stock at all times, and as he keeps
nearly 200 head of sheep, horses, hogs
and cattle it is of great importance
to have them in full view when out
on pasture. No complicated system
of gates is necessary to handle the
stock, and watering is simplified.
Stock is quickly handled from the
barns, and as easily separated, one
kind going to one pasture, another to
another. This is especially important
when handling pregnant stock all
through the year.
He believes that more harm is done
to pastures by overgrazing than from
any other cause. When splendid pas
ture is available there is a great temp
tation to stock it heavily and get the
benefit of the grass while you can,
but after a pasture is eaten down to
a certain point he shifts the stock
into the next pasture lot. The rest
is sufficient to give the first field a
fresh start.
It also serves the purpose of help
ing to reseed the pasture, for seme of
the pasture grasses that are allowed
to make a good growth are certain to
go to seed. This is counted sufficient
to maintain the grasses, as he seldom
has to sow fresh seed in fact, in two
fields that have been in pasture for
over 10 years, the grasses have been
kept up solely by their own seed and
that contributed by the manures he
scatters over them.
Heavy grazing does a great deal
of harm during particularly dry
weather and if the period of dry
weather shows indication of being an
extended one the silo is opened, or
should the silage be gone, dry feed is
used. Thus the pastures are pre
served.

Profitable Handling of Pasturage
Give Grass Chance to Establish Itself Before Turning
on Stock, Veteran's Advice
The foundation of all his pastures
is made up of the clovers, the little
red usually predominating, timothy,
blue grass and white clover. These
are all dependable and have a definite
value in system of pasturing. The
clovers are kept from freezing out by
the protection afforded by the timothy
and blue grass and are maintained by
self-seeding as described above.
The blue grass and clover provide
pasture early in the spring, and then
the timothy begins to provide pasture.
Later in the summer, when the blue
grass begins tQ decline, the white
clover comes on .with the other clo
vers and timothy to furnish good for
age. Any year when it is seen that
the white clover has a good prospect
for seed, it is encouraged by limited
pasturing, with the result that that
low, thick herbage is preserved near
the soil and the white clover kept in
the pasture by reseeding itself.
He believes in taking as good care
of his pasture as of any other crops,
and furthermore he knows that it
pays him to do so. It has been a
great help in the solution of his labor
problems. Manure is scattered thinly
over the pastures about once in every
three or four years, being applied at
the rate of about three or four loads
to the acre. He must use it thinly in
order to have sufficient for his other
crops and he thinks it does more ben
efit to use it oftener and thinly than
to apply it heavily and only once in
five to eight years.
FROM WASHINGTON
Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Seeing
letters from the other states, lut not
from Washington, I am going to write
you. We live in the northeastern part
of the state in what is known as the
Big Bend, Douglas county. Wheat is
the principal crop but the last three
years being rather dry there hasn't
been an average yield. Last fall we
had an early rain so all the farmers of
this locality pushed out and seeded all
they could and most of the wheat was
getting a pretty good start. We didn't
get much snow, but most of the wheat
is alive so far. What it will make no
one can tell.
However, what I wanted to get at
was this—the farmers of this section
are in favor of the Nonpartisan
league. It is just what the farmers
want. We have got to do something,
that is a fact.
Pearl, Wash. O. T. ASHBY.
SMUT .TREATMENT PAYS
Seed wheat treated for smut yields
two bushels more per acre than un
treated seed, experiments at the
North Dakota Agricultural college
show, and increased yields from treat
ed oats and barley are even greater.
Clothing Prices Reduced by Large
Manufacturer
CHICAGO, March 28th.—Mr. James
D. Bell, head of the Bell Tailors,
Adams at Green st., Chicago, 111., said
to be the largest made-to-measure
clothing establishment in the world,
recently stated that his firm is now
able to quote prices on spring and
summer suits 35 per cent below what
others ask. To prove his point he
showed, the writer a very attractive
piece of all wool cassimere for which
they ask only $25 a suit, made to in
dividual measure, whereas the same
fabric is now being offered by others
at $35 to $40 per suit. Even larger
savings are offered on their higher
priced suits. Every reader of the
Leader should write Mr. Bell for his
price list and a free copy of his style
book No. 822 which contains large
cloth samples of many beautiful pat
terns.—Adv.
