FACTS ABOUT ACID PHOSPHATE. Acid phosphate is made by treating raw phosphate rock with sulphuric acid. Acid phosphate is widely used be cause it increases crop yield at a small cost. The untreated rock gives good re sults when used in connection with liberal quantities of organic matter but it is not as effective as acid phos phate. Acid phosphate is effective because it carries readily available phos phorus. Few, if any, authentic cases are known of acid phosphate injuring soils. Experimental evidence shows that acid phosphate does not make the soil acid. From 200 to 800 pounds of acid phosphate per acre can be used with profit during a rotation of three or four years on most soils. In general it js better to apply acid phosphate in such a way that it is dis tributed over the entire area to be fertilized. Manure cannot take the place of acid phosphate but, instead, to be most effective, must have acid phos phate applied with it. Practically all soils that have been farmed fcr any length of time need acid phosphate. In a good system of live stock farm ing, which includes the growing of legumes in a short rotation and the care and application of manure as well as the use of lime if needed, large crops can be grown and soil fertility maintained at a high point by the purchase of nothing but acid phos phate. ? Indiana Farmer. Grazing the Pastures Too Close. | Vlcxt to weeds and brush, I believe the greatest obstacle to the making of pood pastures in the South is too close grazing. 1 have made this state ment before, hut it seems to me so vital that further discussion is justi fied if by so doing its importance can be emphasized. Let anyone look ov< r the pastures in his section and observe how often they are grazed down so close to the ground that it is simply impossible for thf tminiab to secure sufficient feed. Much of the complaint heard, that some of our Southern pasture plants j re not as nutritious as the plants of other sections, is due to the animals failing to get enough of them, rather tl an to any lack of nutritive value in what they do get. Particular ly, have we noticed that when a man provides grazing crops for hogs he frequently only sets n ide about one half r.s much land for this purpose as he shoul 1, and the same thing is true to only n slightly less extent with most of our other pastures. We should first remember that our lands are not rich, or at least those we generally set aside for pasture arc not rich. It requires rich land for a large production of pasturage, just as it dees for all other crops. If our land w.?s high-priced or scarce there might be some excuse for the making of small pastures, but we have an abundance of land that might be prof itably pastured, which is now not be ing used at all or is Ixing cultivated at a loss. Hut what'-v -r the size* of the pastures, the livestock should not be allovtd to graze them too closely. It will pay better to reduce the num ber of animals rather than to graze the pastures so closely that the ani mals suffer for a lack of feed < r the pastures cannot do their best. Of course, some pastures will grate mere animrls than others and t'ie same pasture will furnish very much more feed some years than others; but the *- ? i ? - i-i? lurrixi pi on is vu tui\ * inw vuiwiuvio" tion the quality cf the land and the pasture and only put such stock on it as it will probably graze th' most un favorable seasons. It is true that the lx'st results arc not obtained from a pasture which has so few animals on it that the pasture jflaats become large*, coarsv and dry; but this is much less objectionable than that nnimals get insufficient feed. Moreover, the mowing machinc can always be used to cut the plants if they become too large, provided the land is i nsuch con dition that a mower can be run over it. But aprrt from the loss which re sults from too close grazing, ebcause the animals get insufficient feed, there are otiier unfavorable results, which are still more important as affecting the building up of good pastures. Pasture plants not only cannot make as good growth when grazed too closely, but they are often acturlly killed by too close grazing, especially if ti...: is before they have thoroughly established themselves on the land. Old, w- 11-established pastures, where a complete sod covers the ground, will stand close grazing at intervals with out serious injury; but new pastures are likely to be completely destroyed. Moreover, a pasture with a good growth of grass on it when the fist killing frosts come will furnish feed and lengthen the fall grazing period more than can be done in any other way. ?
