Hints For Winter Care of
Pastures
Some timely advice to fanners for
measures to ensure successful win-
tering of pastures is issued by John
McLeod, Director of the Crops, Seed
and Weed Branch, Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Mr. McLeod
points out that pastures, like fall
wheat, should go into the winter
with a good top growth, at least 3
or 4 inches. Grazing should be dis-
continued'at a sufficiently early date
to permit this, and tramping of pas-
ture by livestock during very wet
periods 'avoided. Use of the harrow to
spread dry manure is recommended,
particularly if the field has been
pastured 'to any extent. Manure' is a
protection as well as nourishment.
and should -be applied this fall. A 'top
dressing of • manure or fertilizer is
an excellent means of preventing
winter killing and also hastens the
growth of fresh grass in the spring.
Drainage from low areas will also
be a protection, front winter killing
and will ensure a mare productive
stand of the better .grasses next year.
Proper .pasture 'management now.
will :help, to provide for more ea
ononiieal pr'oduetion of meat and
lnillc for 1945.
ONLY' THIS
We used to ask for many things
When we would kneel in prayer;
Now, only this, that they m:ay feel
Thy Presence with them, there.
For, conscious of Tliy strength and.
power
Attending constantly,
Sustained they'll be ' through every
trial
In danger, safe with Thee.
In sorrow they'll be comforted;
Distressed; His aid He'll lend;
Through lonely hears they'll be held
close
By the
Unfailing' Friend.
.
His wisclom will their ways. direct,
His love a fortress sure, •
Fulfilled their every need will be;
In Him they are secure.
We lased 'to ask for many things
When we would kneel in prayer;
Now, only this,.; that they may feel
