Hints for the "Farming Neophtte"

Hints for the "Farming Neophtte"

If a bush farm, after felling and burning, plant as far as possible, your ground with good mixed grass seed, adapted to the climate, leaving the cocksfoot for hillsides, and out of the way places.

Never over-stock your grass. To prevent the grass from being eaten too low, if not in your power to divide into paddocks, at least separate the feed into two halves.

Before commencing dairying for yourself, take steps towards obtaining a thorough practical knowledge of the management of a dairy in all its detail.

Keep the dairy dry, clean, and well ventilated; all this requires attention, as the time for the acceptance of an inferior article has passed away,

Thanks are due to Mr. M. D. King, for information concerning Hawera.
