Calves  at  Pasture 
Climace  Affects  Sheep  Growing 
“Climate  has  a  great  dial  to  do  with 
the  live  stock  business,"  a  Western  Penn¬ 
sylvania  farmer  has  observed.  This  far¬ 
mer  says:  “I  moved  from  Minnesota  a 
couple  of  years  ago.  I  attempted  farming 
much  as  I  did  in  the  Northwest.  I  no¬ 
ticed  that  I  must  ehange  my  inauagc-

[Vermont,  has  many  good  pastures, 
though  thousands  of  acres  of  good  grass 
are  wasted  cadi  year  because  there  are 
not  enough  cattle  to  eat  it.  Some  Ver¬ 
mont  farmers,  however,  are  quietly  build¬ 
ing  up  fine  dairy  herds  and  improving 
fa  mis.  The  picture  given  below  was 
taken  on  such  a  farm,  as  the  following 
note  will  show]  :

Calves  in  a  Vermont  Pasture 
of  the  Northwest  gave  sheep  an  appe¬ 
tite.  The  weather  was  dry  and  bright  a 
larger  part  of  the  Winter,  and  I  would 
feed  them  outside  in  racks  much  of  the 
time.  The  sheep  would  consume  practi¬ 
cally  all  the  rough  feed  which  T  would 
give  them,  and  relish  it.  I  relied  on 
straw  for  part  feed  the  early  part  of  the 
Winter,  and  sheep  did  their  best  for  me 
in  the  Northwest.  In  Pennsylvania  I 
find  I  must  keep  the  sheep  in  as  much  as 
breeds  he  has  tried,  so  now  he  keeps  oul.v 
this  breed.  Fourteen  years  ago  we  bought 
a  hundred-acre  farm  with  nothing  upon 
it.  unless  it  was  grasshoppers,  and  hard¬ 
ly  hay  enough  grew  for  them.  Now  the 
farm  keeps  24  head  of  cattle.  13  hogs, 
three  horses,  and  it  keeps  one  son,  who 
believes  his  father  is  a  good  farmer  and 
is  ready  to  stand  by  him  in  all  his 
schemes  for  improvements,  furnishing 
plenty  of  muscle. 
If  ji  man  with  limited  means  wishes  a 
good  dairy  he  will  have  to  plan  and  wait 
for  it  to  grow,  and  I  must  say  that  it 
needs  as  much  planning  us  anything  els". 
Xu  one  will  say  that  the  owner  of  "White 
Oak  Farm"  does  not  use  his  head  as  much 
as  his  hands  in  his  business.

Alfalfa  in  Massachusetts 
On  page  1305  I  find  an  article  on  “Al¬ 
falfa  in  Massachusetts.”  In  the  first  sen¬ 
tence  there  is  a  statement  flint  should  he 
corrected.  It  speaks  of  a  Massachusetts 
farmer  who  paid  $37  per  ton  for  Alfalfa 
hay  and  expects  to  feed  it  at  a  profit. 
Further  down  in  the  article  mention  is 
made  of  “growing  Alfalfa  in  Massachu¬ 
setts  70  years  ago,  hut  is  little  known  by 
the  farmers  hero  today.’  Now  as  to 
price  of  Alfalfa  hay  in  Massachusetts, 
no  fanner  thinks  of  paying  more  than  $23 
per  ton  for  the  best  second  cut.  and  ’t 
can  he  bought  generally  by  the  earload 
for  $21.  IV e  can  buy  Alfalfa  hay  de¬ 
livered  in  the  barn  for  $24  and  $25  per 
ton. 
There  is  grown  in  Massachusetts  to¬ 
day  a  thousand  or  perhaps  10.000  more 
acres  than  were  grown  in  1S44  and  the 
farmers  know  a  vast  deal  more  about  its 
culture.  If  Mr.  Phinney  fed  five  or  six
