THE FARMER.
Milk removes much phosphate of lime, and the pastures should be sown with gro.und bones or rock phosphate of lime. Wool removes sulphur, and therefore sheep pastures are improved by gypsum or sulphate of lime. Ashes and salt are of the highest value to pastures ; but when the pastures have too far failed it is better economy to plough them up as fast as possible, and sow them to pasture grasses and seed to oats, to shade the young shoots and tender roots.
