A shed in the pasture for shade where there are no trees. men, states unqualifiedly that he has abandoned the permanent bluegrass pastures for pastures of clover and timothy in rotation. Whether a man should choose one system or the other will depend upon the location of the farm and whether or not portions of it are unsuited for growing crops and are well adapted for permanent pastures. Where on such locations a bluegrass sod can be secured and maintained perhaps no other excels it for general cattle feeding purposes. With proper attention such pastures improve with age. Timothy is not as rich in nutrients. The clovers and alfalfa pastures are admira- bly adapted to cattle feeding, except the tendency they possess for causing bloat, which must be carefully.
