Temporary Pastures.

We aro firm advocates of alternating ' leys c.£ three years or so duration with,! cereals and roots, because under these ! conditions less horses aid labour are \ required than on a purely arable hold ing, strong growing pasture plants materially assist in cleaning the land by smothering weeds, leguminous plants enrich the soil by means of the j nitrogen they Bccuuaulate from the' atmosphere,"' and the decay of their roots leaves the ground in excellent condition for a corn crop, and the land can be kept in a higher state of fer- ! tility. Add to these reasons the very j important one that the farmer is thus ensured sufficient hay and roots to keep his stock through the winter without buying and the advantage of the system of introducing short leys will be recognised by anyone giving careful consideration to it. As _ a matter of fact) we go further, and advise the breaking up of an old ley and the sowing down of a new one every year. Considering the fertility vt the land it would probably be difficult to suggest a rotation better adapted for moßt soils than the following ;—First year, roots ; second year, cereals; third ye»r, an annual forage plant; fourth year, cereals , fifth, Bixth, and seventh years, temporary pasture j and eighth year, cereals. Olovers are generally short-lived plants, and their full value is obtained when they are grown in short leys, such as those recommended. In mix tures intended to last only three years at the limit from 40 to 90 per cent of clovers cun bo employed, in accordance as the land is leas or more suitable for their successful and profitable culture. Poer soils do not nourish clovers pro perly, and for this reason grasses should predominate on this class of land. Soils which have recently borne clovers might be subjected to clover sickness by sowing clovers as a con siderable proportion of the mixture for temporary pasturage, so that alsike is the only clover petmissible under these circumstances, for experiments and a weight of accumulated experience prove that this ustful plant may be grown where other clovers would be certain to sicken and fail in conse quence of clover having been too frequently cultivated at too short intervals on the land White clover is, of course, invaluable for pasturage Hiixtu res for short leys, but its herbage does not amount to much for mowing purposes, Trefoil is very frequently allowed to flower by Block, and the appearance of flowers must be regarded as an indication that the plant has been neglected by grazing animals. Its addition is, however, a matter of personal opinion. The grasses suitable for short leys are Italian rye grass, perennial rye grass, cocksfoot, tall oat grass, and occasionally Timothy, of each of which a few words may be said. Italian rye grass grows more rapidly, and f under suitable conditions; yields more abundantly than any other grass in cultivation, but; it is unfortu nately only suitable for usr in one year leys, though it is frequently employed in mixtures of seeds intended to re main down two years. It vegetates so luxuriantly the first year as to starve out other grasses, and so considerable and serious gape are left after its disappearance the second year, Too often these become filled withindigenious weeds*. Perennial rye grass is an excellent plant for good heavy soils, but is less well adapted for very dry lands, from which it soon dies out. We incline to think that this grass should be rcam'y used for tenv porary pastures, Beldom for permanent] and we attribute the generally expe> rienced period of failure, or deteriora tion in pastures about four years after their being laid down, to their contain 1 ing too great a proportion of this and other short lived grasses. Cocksfoot h an excellent grass fir addition to leya of three years or more duration In« deed it is one of the hardiest, most productive ai.d best of the top grasses, and it ia quite indispensable for the best permanent pastures: Tall oat grass is not much known in England though in extensive use on the Con tinent. It is a useful fodder grass, and may with advantage form up to one fifth part of mixtures of seeds for temporary pastures on suitable warm Boi's. Italian rye grass is to be pre ferred to it only for leys of one year duration. For cold wet lands Timothy is very useful, since few other grasses thrive on such soils, It attains to full perfection by the third year, and com mences to grow thin afterward*, so that is adapted for use in three year leys. A mixture of red clover and Italian rye gra3S makes a useful ley for one year, and red clover alsike and Timothy endure for two years. For clover-sick land Timothy and alsike are desirable, and will last for three years. Other commonly sown mixtures are red clover, alsike and Timothy for two or three years; white clover, alsike clever and perennial rye gras3 for two or three years for pasturage; and red clover, alaike clover and Timothy for two or three years—Belfaßt Telegraph
