Moss on Pasture Land.
Mossy patches are a common feature in land long laid down, having a tendency to spread and deprive the grass of moisture, being a moisture loving vegetation, so that where there is much moss the field is cold and damp. A thorough harrowing followed by a dressing of three to four cwt. of superphosphate, is about the most effective remedy. The manufacturers now sell a potassic superphosphate, and a basic potash superphosphate which are suitable for the purpose. Fanners who have such land should make a limited trial of basic slag and kaniL and the other forms of potash combined with superphosphate, watch the results and the following season app'y on a larger scale whichever kind of manure has yielded the best results.
