128 PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY PASTURES 



A heavy dressing of cake-fed farmyard manure, applied 

 towards the close of the year, will pay well. Nothing improves 

 artificial grasses so much, and there must be no niggardUness 

 in its use. The fresher the manure when placed on the 

 ground, and the less it has been allowed to ferment, the better 

 the grass will thrive. In the Kidmore grass experiments 

 good results were also obtained from a dressing per acre 

 of one hundredweight of nitrate of soda, with three-quarters 

 of a hundredweight of muriate of potash, given in alternate 

 years.
