' 1' I,OOIC AT YOUR LABEL CLOSE GRAZING OF PASTURES The question of the influence o% the stage of growth on the composi- tion of grasses has long been under investigation and it is now a well established fact that young grass is much more nutritious than that ap- proaching maturity. The chief dif- ference in composition lie in the var- iations of fibre and protein content; the percentage of fibre increasing and that of protein decreasing with maturity. Not only is the fibre con- tent markedly lower in the young grans but such fibre as f:> present is mere digestible than that of the ripe grass. A consideration of the ranges of }protein content shows strikingly the greater value of young grass. For example, the percentage of protein In timothy "just speared" is double that at the "seed fully formed" stage. Itrowledge of these vnrirtions in composition has long been the basis of the advice that It is good practice to out grass fur hay very .;'.rortly af- ter the formation cif need. In recent years the possibilities of coasidering young grass as 0 furnisher of protein h the ration has 5'.,'. suggested. Ir ser enol countriss, notably Ger- many and England a system of pass turage known as "eloae-grazisng" has been tried out, in recent years. By this plan it w46 exsected that. grass' - lands could be made to furnish a; fairly .high protein concentrate in the form of very young grass in con- tinuous supplies. This is done by cropping the .area fairly close. nroV- ing the animals, heavily fertilizing with nitrogenous fertilizers e.g. ni- trate or soda, and allowing the grass, to grow, say, ten days or a''fortnight, before again cropping. A prelimin- ary experiment conducted by the Division of Chemistry, Experimental Farm, Ottawa, during the past sum- mer, to obtain Canadian data on this subject, has given same interesting results. Of four plots, one cut week- ly; one, fortnightly; one. every third • week and one as hay, the plot cwt every third week furnished the larg- est amount of digestible day matter and of protein.
