Help the Meadows ti.nd Pasture&
Grass lenels are usually the last to
be considered, 'yet they represent one
of the greatest investments ou On-
tario farms. Out of the twelve and
half rn. alien acres of farm crops in
Ontario, over seven million flee given
.up to hay and pasture. The province
is filling rapidly. New land must be
brought under cultivation mai relative-
ly less area can be left in hay and
pasture. For thisreason, the •bay
fields and the pastures must produce
snore grass, and for another reason,
and that is that land values are con-
tinually rising and larger yields will
alone keep up the intercet return on
investments.
Compared with •other crops hay is
a goad price and seems destined. to
remain so this year. For those who
have received good yields this is for..
tunate and equally unfortunate for
those with small yields. Practically
.all that can be done for the grass
lands this fall has been accomplished,
but great possibilities await the open-
ing of spring.
As a rule anything does the mea-
dow. Corn . fields, potato .ground,
wheat land, all must be carefully
worked, well drained, sweet and
usually well fertilized both with ma-
nure and comanereial fertilizers where
best results are aimed at, but the Poor
0id grass lands and pastures are just
left to wiggle along as best they can.,
In fact, not a few people have an'
idea that if they allow the. fields toI
lie in grass, they are actually "rest -
ng' the land, the same as they wouldi
rest their team by turning them out
to pasture. The idea is not altogether
based on eras -information. Rotham-
stede , Experhnent Station over 25
year's ago allowed a -certain piece of
land to grow up in its wild state; not
stiek or leaf or bit of rubbish has
been, removed from this land from
• thateday to this, and the area, instead
setkeing an open field, has become an
rr1110--ralmost ixnpassable thicket. • An ex -
s.

Pow'
like clovers, have the power of en-
rich, the mil in nitscogen. Ne in-
erea.jjhphosphoric acid or potash
was 'round because the only source
.of these plant foods is from 'outside
material such as manure or fertiliz-
ers.
Certainly, where yali are cutting
hay and removing it year by year, not
only is the ground not gaining but it
is actually losing plant food very
rapidly. For every ton of hay taken
off, your meadow is losing 28 lbs.
nitrogen, 6 lbs. phosphoric acid and
31 lbs. potash. This cannot be kept
, up any length of time without ma-
terially reducing the amount of avail-
able plant food. Some farmers are
realizing this fact and are arranging
in their rotations to manure and fer-
tilize the crops that precede grass so
that the grass and eIover may bene-
fit materially from the ,left -over plant
food which wheat or other grain did
not make'use of.
Some few fairners where the stand
of grass warrants, have been making
' actual applications of fertilizeas to
the grass. .
An interesting demonstration in
es this respect was carriect on this past
..asummer in Huron County by Mr.
Isaac Andrew's of Lucknow. Mr. An-
drews had a good grass stand on a
heavy clay field on which be had
grown hay for two years without ma-
nure. The field was well drained and
was sweet. The fertilizer 'that was
applied was not exactly of the analy-
sis best adapted to meadow applica-
tion—in fact, the fertilizer itself was
designed for mixed. grains, but was
received after the grain was sown so
that it was applied to Mr. Andrews'
grass; field. The analysis was 2 per
cent. ammonia, 12 per cent. phosphoric
• acid and 2 per cent. potash, Five
61oeks were measured off and the fer-
tilizer was applied at rates of 200, 400
and 600 lbs. per are, two blocks be -
ng left without any fertilizer for
•check. The fertilizer was applied late,
at being June ist. The bay wag out

—in fact, the report on the examine-
tionef the plots on August lath says:
"With :further regard to improve-
ment, I might state that the plots re-
ceiving. 400 to 600lbs, per acre are
showing a remarkably strong growth
. of after -grass; in fact you can tell to
an inch where the fertilizer has been
applied by looking At the after -grass."
Mr. Andrews is going to carefully
observe the plots next spring, because
there will be a great hang -over effect
of the. fertilizers which were applied
late to the meadow this year.'
The big point of the demonstration
is that it ehows that under average
Western Ontario conditions, fcatilizets
are .capable of increasing the yield of
_bay enormously as well as improving
the pastures.
Some rather definite studies hosie
been made by both English .ancl Amer-
ican Institutions as regards the effect
of fertilizers upon the actual nature
of growth after fertilizers have been
applied. In en extensive experiment
carried out at Pennsylvania Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, it was found
that ia arpasture field whieh grew
Canada bluegrass, Kentuels bluegrass
timothy and white and xed clover
after seven years Of applic.ation of
fertilizers of different campositions.
Kentucky bluegrass seemed to pre-
vail. C,omplete fertilizers high in
nitrogen seemed especially favorable
for the production of Kentucky blue-
grass. However, timothy was in
marked evidence where the fertilizers
were -high in potash.. As a rule grass
has predommate.d over clover in the
plats receiving fertilizers with high
coutent of nitrogen, while clover, espe-
cially red clover, has been crowded
out by such treatment. Clover has
shownitsgreatest vigor in plots fer-
tilized with mixtures of phosphoric
acid and potash, and with a small
amount of nitrogen. " The largest
amount of clover occurs in the no -
nitrogen plots and decreases as the
nitrogen content Of the fertilizer in-
creases.
We •repeat—the fertilizer used in
iha areneeastration on Mr. Andrews
farm,•Lucknow, was not uf the analy-
sis that we would. recommend fel
meadow' andpasture uses. Bathei
we eveuld recommend greatly increas-
ing phosphoric acid, possibly cutting
down the nitrogen to 1 per cent. and
increasing the potash if vigorous
timothy .growth is desired, or leaving
it low if an abundance of clover is in
demand.
The big point of the demonstration
of course hinges on the more economic
handling of the land where largei
-and better crop s are grown. Everyone
knows that while increased crops take
a little extra labor, yet,- speaking gen-
erally, the profit from the increased
crops is .altogether telt of proportion
to the minor investment in increased
labor. Men, too, pastures which are
top -dressed an early spring invariably
produce a growth of grass more tasty
to the stock, and provide a pasturage
which will maintain a. great -deal more
heed Per acre than is coniinonly the
practice on the average Ontario pas-
ture.
The demonstration on Mr. An-
drews' feria alleuld be .elosely studied
and its application thought out, by all
those heating extensive meadows or -
leaving much of their land in pastur-
age.—Henry G. Bell.

The End of the World is spoken of
here, and in the 'parable of the tares,
as a definite, final day or period in
the world's hisaore, when the Lord
Will came' in power to a final judg-
ment of all men. This is the expecta-
tion still of many Christian people,
None of us can say with certainty
that that expectation will not be ful-
filled. But there it another way of,
thinking about the end of the world
and about judgment, found in many
Bible passages which may be .the
truer way and may represent our
Lord's real teaching. The prophets
of the Old Testament saw the end in
every great 'crisis of the stational
life, and in every great catastrophe
of their time—in thenisserrian inva-
sion, in the coming of the 'Scythian
hordes, in the fall of Nineveh, -in the
damn of Jerusalem, in the overthrow
of Babylon, and in the xise and de-
cline of the Greek kingdoms. The
Gospel of 'John' declares judgment to
be a present fact, and interprets
Christ's coming again as the cornireg
of His Spirit. It may be true, there-
fore, to say that the end of which
Christ speaks is alwaye coaling, and
that eve see its dread portentsin
every age; that every crisis in in-
diaidual and national life is a eall to
judgment
