The preparation of the soil for permanent grass lands cannot be too thorough, nor is it likely that the manuring will ever be excessive. Stable manure is the best of all foundations for fertility. Ground bone and wood-ashes are unexcelled for top-dressing purposes. Stable manure is rich in available nitrogen. Bone (ground fine) is one of the best and most lasting sources of phosphoric acid. Wood-ash is rich in potash. These three things (nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash) furnish the elements of fertility which are lost by continued grazing and cropping. Taken together they make a perfect or '• complete " fertilizer or soil restorer. The above illustration shows a field where Bradley's Fertilizer was used. Autumn is nature's time for sowing grass seed, but Spring sowing may be made quite as successful, if the seed is sown early, while the ground is both cool and moist. Grass seed is usually sown with grain, but there is ample testimony to show that it can be sown alone with entire success. On all pastures which have been long fed, the phosphate of lime is exhausted. It is constantly taken from the earth to form the bone, the muscle and the milk of animals. A few bushe
