Buffalo, N. -Y. impressed as they stood inside the big bam; in the center of which was a mammoth silo, nnd viewed th > spacious building, with its big feed troughs nnd feed carriers, arranged in such conve nient .manner that two men could food a hundred lioad of cattle in thirty min utes time; nnd thou to bo told by Mr. Lunsford himself, that his barn and silo were both empty anil had been the past two years; and that the 40 head of fat sleek Ilorofords that we saw, some Of tho steers weighing 1600 pounds it two years old, hn& never been inside that big barn nnd lmd never been fed a fedd of nnything, but lmd made their own living both summer and winter by grazing amid tho grasses and clo vers, .some of which was knoe high and more, when wo were thoro; nnd that those,Barnc steers would soon go over the sisales nt a dime a pound; you can begin.to understand why the Intense in terest on our part. Mr. Jiunsford stated tlmt ho had just transferred 60 head of his cattle to anot&Or pasture for a short time, that this one might have a chaneo to ro-seed itself, uml give ample feed for his herd again next winter. He has 90 acres-In this pasture which n few yonrs ago was a poor washed, hill-side cotton farm.* TlUanswer to our question, Mr. Luns ford! stated that Bermuda grnss nnd burrAclavor growing together wns the founpttion llor a permanent pasture in tins Section of Georgia. Ho furthor an swered our question by stating that ho started with ono aero near tho barn eight fears ago. He has liis 90 acres sub-(lj^ivcd into four divisions, and tho cnttle lire transferred from one to tho other, ns it suits his purpose. It is-not the purpose of tho writer in this,’article to induce mou to go into tho cattle,business on a largo scale, ns Mr. Lunsford has done, but I thought as wo ftfoQihnad watched those ’cattle grazing, wtUtat would moan to Osrtoil county ffdireadi'ofc MTHix tilWMMl* f»was» - taw aerou were properly sot tty Bermuda and burr clover, in such way ns to fur nish grazing twelve months each year; •how the feed bills might be Teduced, and our cattle kept at a profit instead of a loss. Then, too, hogs could bo kept and fed in such n way ns to show a profit whon placed on tlfiB market. Those 6f us who saw wore convinced, and nt no vory distant day Carroll county will have pnsturcs second to none. Tho cow, hog and lien are destined to play a very important part in our agri cultural system from now on, and past ures green tlio year round will insure the success of the projoct. See your neighbor today and secure u few bushels of burr clover seed at once. They are > ow ready to gather, and should bo taken up promptly; bo- ing careful to secure a good quantity of inoculated soil with the Heed. When ready to plant, the latter part of August, or early in September, mix 1 bushel of clover seed with 3 busliols of stable manure; run a small scooter furrow 2 to 3 foot apart in tlio furrows but do not cover them. This method has given the very best results wher ever tried. After burr clover lias once been grown on land it re-seeds itself from year to year, if not grazed too closely. It will, however, require plowing up occasionally, on a Bermuda sod, as Bormuda and clover grow bet ter. Mr. Lunsford states that Bermuda is worth four times ns much for summor grazing, after having clover grown with it during the winter. The nitrogen gathered by the clover gives the Bor muda that dark green color ns shown by corn whore nitrate of soda lias been appliod. Let’s get pastures first, then tho cat tle and lingo; otherwise the re-action will bo against us. C. F. RICHARDS, Teacher of Vocational Agriculture.
