Pasture Improvement 
Research work done at Cornell University and other 
centers has shown that there is no general farm crop 
that pays so well as good pasture. If the best land on the 
farm is used, if it is limed and fertilized and good grazing 
methods followed, it will carry 3 cows per acre in full pro¬ 
duction for six months of the year. Remember that a cow 
mows 150 lbs. in a hard day’s work of 8 hours. 
Such success cannot be achieved without the three requi¬ 
sites—good land, good fertilizer and good seed, the three 
being capped by the proper system of rotational grazing. 
A cow does her best when the grass is kept at 4-inch height. 
You can hardly graze too early or too late. 
The Cornell pasture formula recommended by Professor 
Johnstone-Wallace will do more than any other to iron 
out the peaks and valleys of the curve of pasture production.
