PASTURES

Pastures should be harrowed to spread manure before the spring' grass begins to come ajwiay. Where stock have congregated round gateways, haystacks, or shelter-belts it is well worth while carting off the dry . manure to poorer- parts of the pad- . dock. Young grass on light land will be benefited by rolling; this operation should not, however, be performed on a frosty morning. Top-dressing of pastures may be continued. Clover stands being saved for seed should receive a minimum of cultivation in the first year. In the second year an occasional stroke with the light harrows prior to shutting up in A August would in many cases prove beneficial. Buper may be applied with benefit before the beginning of August to clover stands being saved for seed.
