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 ly revert to its old state, besides it will stand drought muell better than before. Storer objects (Agriculture 2 ; 470 that in lanil devoted to pastare only it thin layer of the surface soil is put to use, while by the deep cultivation that is required for roots and other hoed crops the land one ho utalized to a much greater depth. He gives as his reason that an acre of clover, tur- nips, atm, will furnish at least thrice as much food as au acre of pasture of medium qualiiy. How- ever this may bo it is a well known fact that clover sends its roots down 'met the thin surface soil. Ile this ds it may in England in 1881 half the laud devoted to agriculture WIN under permanent pasture and its acreage was on the increase, it is interesting to Dime/To that while the English farmer argues that votive increases with age in luxuriance and richness, the NOW nntaltnd farmer argue that as pastures grow older they tend to "run outer its it is called.

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 milk, this lute no force, but, in a deusely populatee country like Eng Ind . where better and choose are ot great value, it would be etrange, indeed, Watt ucb o !avorable commis if the lauul nellers did not adopt such a rystein In Film it timer fallowing the ciMpla .)f 1%). raether e tintrr the Ontario farmer who pays attention to that greet branell of agriculteree dairying, !eight seed any rico, alluvial dept -its or mucky natrehee to portnanent pasture. These are mreally totel, ing anti ofteu too istrougly charged with vegetable matter for the growth of ordinary terns orops They would be green 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 - hosing nitrogen provided he Tuna )e maintained in a fit state of rieli. THE B.R1, Si - nese as regards the mineral elements "The ocenpation of land by a gems for two or three years, ;which takes its turn in the rotation of crops, ts preferred to permanent ocusupatiou by grans." This is so clearly nod forcibly pat that it has been copied into almost every work and article dealing an the subject. Mr. Julio, however, is a lutto loose iu his use of words. Ho say s "Route and cerettle deprive the soil of nitrogeu, whilst grass and lege Inhume plante cause it to amine. late." Now, correctly speaking, grass molly is a cereal and eanuot cause nitrogen to accumulate in the soil in fact they eontein very title nitrogen, still 0.) crop is more bane feted by a nitrogenous manure.

Nom, is there thing to prevent these grasse's cerests, which are so desirable in an old pasture and whits': are so fond of a nitrogenous manure, from waking use of the nitrogen thus constantly brought within their roach by the decaying clover plants? If there is I have yet to learn 01 01. 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 that an alteration ot crops is good, inasmuch its that nitrogen is ac- cumulated by the clover, whicili wed be beneficial to the succeeding erip, but when he says that the nit ee_t. this accumulated. in perineum), p ture is lost I think he i ineorive).

The root al a plent. is as much dependant on the de velopment of top for its developm ae the top is dependant upon tho root, so when the top is kept' osteo off close the root cannot devolopo, consequently the followiug year there will be a short crop. Joseph says : "On an old timothy nxeadow, closely pastured last fall, this year the hay was not over half a ton par aore. On another meadow not so pastured the grass was as heavy as it could grow" This Close perdue- ing can be avoided by grouiug it few soiling crops. No person will deity that it is better for the cattle, and other stock to do so, and whets it will also benefit the pastures as well who will say it is not profitable to adopt that practice. More might, be said upon the care of pastures, but we will forbear until some future time. W. RUSSELL Bisnoe. • ALPHABETICAL PARE.
