 stones and stumps than most others. Lime the 

 land at the rate of twenty-five bushels per acre, 

 and fertilize with the mixture of ground bone, acid 

 phosphate and kainit at the rate of 200 to 500 

 pounds per acre. The stirring of the soil will let in 

 the air, the lime will sweeten it, and the fertilizer 

 will provide additional food. Seed should then be 

 sown and lightly covered. The expense is not 

 great, while the value of the pasture is manifestly 

 improved, and its greater permanence assured.
