.fr? PASTURES AND STOCK 4. RAISING. 4* (By Dr. A. M. Soule.) Now that so much attention ?B ho ing directed towards the develop ment of live stock farming In the South greater consideration must of necessity be given to tho establish ment and maintenance of pastures. All experiments up to the present time show that grazing furnishes the oheapest and most effective method of maintaining milch cows, beef cat tle and sheep. Hogs and horses and mules can also utilize pastures to the best possible advantage. 'Imis being true, it becomes of general interest j to determine what grasses and other crops may be used successfully for the economic maintenance of live stock in this State. For a permanent summer pasture Bermuda .grass has the widest adapt ability of anything which can he grown. Where it Is combined with Japan clover or Lesirodoza Its value is increased for the two constitute U better grazing crop than either grown singly. Moreover, the clover helps to ? Increase the nitrogen supply of the soil through its ability to gather this | element out of the air under normal ! conditions of growth. In some sec-' tlons blue grass can be grown to some extent. This will he found a j very valuable grass for permanent pasture where lt maintains itself j with any degree of satisfaction. ll has a longer season of growth than , Bermuda and is not cut down hy | freezing to anything like the same degree as Bermuda. Other tame grasses which can be used either singly or in combination for grazing purposes are timothy, tall oat grass, orchard grass and red top. To these may be added In pro per combination white clover, alslke clover, and in some instances, red clover. Alfalfa can, of course, be grown to best advantage by itself. Where the tame grasses mentioned are depended on for grazinz purposes they are best used In combination rather than singly. Orchard grass will give its best results in semi-arid localities. Tall oat grass will grow better on thinner, poorer and drier soils than any other grass. Red top, timothy and alslke clover do better in propo ;on on bottoms or damp soils than any of the otho)?' kinds mentioned. Practically all the tame grasses will be benefited by liberal applica tions of lime, and especially on soils low in this element. A ton of pow dered rock should be applied every second or third year. Tame grasses will not stand as much nbuse as Ber muda, and such areas should be rest ed from time to time by transferring the grazing animals to the Bermuda sod. Tame grasses will last for pas turage purposes for several years. Bermuda will also retain its hold on 1 the land for a long time, but it is often necessary to plow up pastures of this character every second or third year because of the denseness of the sod formed. Breaking up the land and turning lt over helps to re invigorate the growth and Improves (he quality of the herbage. This is also quite an effective means of help ing to destroy bitterweed. Bermuda re-establishes itself so quickly after the sod has been turned over that comparatively little tlnie is lost out of the season's grazing. ? Where dairy cows and heel* cattle are maintained on pastures during the summer time, it is believed that a small amount of concentrates can le fed with advantage. It is desira ble to produce "baby beef" under modern conditions of ?arin practice, and about two pounds of cotton seed THIS BEATS A? MEDICINE Y Thc Way KOOT JUICE Cleans Out Is Surely a Won "Glory! I've only taken that HOOT JUICIO a week and feel like a new person already. It beats any thing I ever saw for giving the blood and the entire body a top-to-bottoni spring cleaning and toning up." That's what everybody says, and no wonder. The action of KOOT .HM(MO ls just the action that everybody, young and old, needs every spring. At this time of the year the body is all clogged up up with an accum ulation of filth and impurities that have been collect ing al! winter. The blood ls thick, Im pure, and all the organs of the body aro half asleep. That accounts for the well known 'fagged-out.' tired, lazy, good-for-no thing feeling that people call Spring Fever. HOOT JUICE, a genuine blood cleanser made from a new and sci entific combination of roots, herbs, leaves and barks. It's safe, too, atv solutoly free from any Injurious or habit-forming drugs, mid as a tonic for wenk. run-down, debilitated peo ple it beats anything that you over saw In ull your life. "Tliat HOOT ,] tainly Mude ('hange meal or cotton seed cake can be fed to good advantage to this class of an imals when on summer pastures. Dalry cow3 may even consume three pounds profitably, but we believe this ls about as much as need be fed. Suggestions are not offered as to the use of o'ther ' concentrates because cotton seed meal will be found tho cheapest material to use as a supple mental concentrate. Vor the winter maintenance of cat tle some of the tame grasses men tioned above will he found valuable, that is, they will afford grazing from one month to six weeki before Ber muda grass ls ready, and they will last for several weeks later in the fall. Areas devoted to tame graces should he so handled as to have the at their best at these two seasons. After their productiveness has ceased cereals which have been sown at the right time should he ready for winter use. Rye, wheat, oats and harley may all be used with advant age. Rye will stand more abuse and make the largest top earlier In thc spring than any of the other crops mentioned. Darley is not so well adapted for growth on soils of med ium fertility, nor has lt as wide an adaptability as the oat or wheat crop, hut lt provides a very excellent qual ity of grazing, and can be utilized to advantage much more extensively than ls being done at the present time. Oats can he grown in practi cally any part of the State, and if put in with the object of being used for grazing purposes may be made to carry a very considerable weight of live stock per acre. The grazing of these crops lu the fall, provided they are properly fertilized when an imal.-! are not turned on tbo land ! when it ls too wet. will not seriously interfere with their making profita ble yields of grain the next spring. Vetch may he combined with any of tho crops mentioned. Haily vetch will be found the best variety to use for general cultivation, though the Oregon vetch can he -used to some advantage in some sections ol the South. The addition of a legume will '.inprove the quality of the herb age. In utilizing cereals for winter pas ture purposes some dry roughage, which is available on every farm, should be fed. Corn stover, sorghum hay or the straw from cereals may he scattered on the ground and the animals allowed to pick lt over. Na turally, In tho winter time the grain ration should be more liberal than In the summer. Three to four pounds of grain can often be fed to advant age to young yearlings or other beef cattle which the laud owner may be carrying through the winter; where as, five or six pounds of grain will prove profitable with dairy cows. For beef cattle cotton seed meal will probably be the mose desirable con centrate to use; for dalry cows, the addition of some oats or corn to a ration of cotton seed meal will be an advantage. These three food stuffs may he mixed In equal proportions. Where only one foodstuff ls available beside the cotton seed meal also mix in equal parts. Of course stabling should be provided for dalry cows so they can be fed their grain ration under the best conditions and milked and groomed properly. Where pastures become short for any reason a great variety of supple mental soiling crops may he depend ed on in the Southeast. Crops best to use for this purpose are cow peas, soy beans, sorghum and corn. Vel vet beans may be used for pasture at certain seasons of the year or can be fed as a soiling crop. Of course where pastures fall or where they can not be maintained to the best ad vantage from any of the great variety ! of crops mentioned, the silo may he siY SPRING OU EVER SAW (he (Hood and lluilds l p the System der; Guaranteed.
