Temporary vs. Permanent
rastures.
It will bo the object of this paper
to discuss the claims of permaneni
and temporary pasture, for pre
eminence that we may arrive at a
conclusion which it would be beet
to adopt in laying dowu a piece of
land to pasture, and here let us
observe that temporary pasture is
simply a system of alternate hes
bandry, rotating pasture with the
other crops of the farm. He who
adopts this eystem of alternate hes-
bandry will thus secure such ad-
vantages as it gives as will be seen
throughout this paper. "To be
profitable, permanent pasture land
must be naturally ot the very best
quality, in good heart, well peeper.
ed and afterwards liberally mantle -
ed." Such is a description of land
adapted to permanent pasture. Not
withstanding that rcmuneratiou of
a pecuniary nature aud not form or
pleasure, i- the magnet of all farm
ing opmetiens, abill temporary
pastures will profitably serve a
purpose iu the rotation without the
lead being brought to such a high
abate of cultivation es that ream
mended for permanent pester°
This medium etate of cultivation is
obtained by thorough tillage and
care for a number of years aud
some bave argued that when this
thorough tillage is withheld the
land, aided by the constant tread of
stack, would revert to its old state,
a condition more suitable to the i
growth of water plante and other 1
• innutritices sorts. This, however,
is not consistent with the accepted
principles, for when once the land
is thoroughly drained ancl a proper
condition ef capillary attraction
attained the land can never entire

will stand drought muell better than
before. Storer objects (Agriculture

reason that an acre of clover, tur-

thrice as much food as au acre of

Many farmers near the large
cities of England make use of the
sewage water GO irrigate their pas-
iureii. These fields when not
heavily pastured compel the farmers
to cut three or four times a year to
prevent the grass becoming rank.
It has been competed that while
it requires thirteen quarts of milk
from cows pestering on fresh laic'
pastures to wake a pound of butter,
ten quarts from cites feeding on an
old award will be sufficient for that
purpose. When milk is sold as

earlier in the Spring and remain an
later iu the Fall then higher lying
fields, and when properly cared for,
a sufficiently larger revenue may be
derived to procure any necessary
manures and have a margin
over the crops of a rotation.
In England they no doubt have au
advantage in the fact that their
seeds are better adapted to their con-
ditions Chau they are to ours, as we
have not been long enough in the
business to have varieties of grams
at all naturalized. In this partici
lar aid might be derived from tbo
use of fertilizers which tend to bring
and sustain particular grasses. It
is
to well known fact that asbea tend
1Q bring in white clover, and that
gypsum is beneficial to all legumin
ons plants. Laws and Gilbert in
experimenting on this point found
that barnyard manure ',reticles 10
creasing the total product increased
the proportion of the grasses proper.
It dimiuissed the proportion el
leguminous plants and weeds. I'
wilt thus be see that permanent
pasture is a somewhat risky ba.i.
nese in this country, as someone
has said it is specializing too pleat,
always to risky business but (tepee.
ally so to the ordinary farmer.
Since it becomes necessary to
renovate pastures I think s point it
scored in favor of temporary pastur-
es when we consider the manner Rd(
vised for thie.pnrpose. .Et is gener-
ally considered that the best way to
renovate is to plow up and re -seed
and would not tho land bo ie a bet
ter condition to receive the young
seed if it were brought into rotation?
More especially would it be better
to bring the land under the rotation
if Mr. Juliestheory is correct ?
This 18 beet told hi his own word3.
itt en essay to the Royal Agricul-
tural Society of England for which
ho received a prize, Mr. Julie pets
forth the following rerearks:—Vhe
cultivation of roots and cerealscle-
prives the soil of eitrogeu, whilst
that of grass and leguminous plants,
lei/Tory or permanent, on the
contrary causes it to accumu-
late in the eel!. That nitrogen
being the most expensive to buy,
it ie not economical to devote part
of the land absolutely to arable and
part to grails, for whilst the one
usee up nitrogen the other anuses it
to accansalate in excess. It is pre.
hirable to alternate on the same
pioee of land the cultilation of roots
and cereals with that of grass lays.
133' this moans cultivation can be
rept up indefinitely Without put -

May not has explain the richness
and luxuriance so admited in old
pastures. Do we not thus have a
rotation of crops even in pastures ;
the clover storing up nitrogen, which
is made use of by the grasses, and
these in tura yielding some elsmmt,
to the clovers. Mr. Jails is cornet
