Excerpt from Pastures and Pasture Plants In the compilation of a treatise on any craft, the recorded experience of great authorities must of necessity be consulted, if not, to some extent, form the basis of such treatise; and though we have striven in the pages following to concisely summarise chiefly our own experiences in pasture-making from carefully kept records covering nearly 100 years' work, we have great pleasure in specially acknowledging our indebtedness to the following works: - 1. The scattered writings of Mr. William Carruthers, F.R.S., F.L.S., the accomplished consulting botanist to the Royal Agricultural Society, who unites to Sinclair's exact knowledge of pasture plants probably the most precise and extended acquaintance with English pastures ever yet attained, and to whose kindly and untiring courtesy is due much of what merit may lie in this manual. 2. The scattered writings of Sir John Bennett Lawes, F.R.S., LL.D., of Rothamsted, whose profound knowledge of the subjects he has made his own is equalled by his willingness to impart information, and to whom also we owe much special and invaluable help. 3. The works, especially The Best Forage Plants, a laborious and singularly accurate translation from the German by Mr. A. N. McAlpine, B.Sc, botanist to the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, and Les Melanges de Graines Fourrageres, done into French by M. C. Denaiffe, of Dr. G. Stebler, whose long experience as Director of the Swiss Experiment and Seed Control Station enables him to speak with special authority on forage plants and their seeds, and whose esteemed and kind assistance we gratefully acknowledge. 4. G. Sinclair's Hortus Gramineus Woburnensis, still our standard work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Pasture Plants and Pastures of New Zealand His little is published in the hope that it may prove useful to both farmers and students. No other crop approaches grass in importance, and yet in many parts of the country no other crop is so little studied. A good deal of attention has been devoted in the following pages to the means of recognising the various grasses, as it is considered that the ability to recognise the different varieties is the surest way to induce a study of their habits and capabilities. On this study depends the solution of the most important of all problems facing the New Zealand farmer, namely: What is the best grass mixture to sow on my land?

Excerpt from Pasture Studies: Some Results Up till quite recently, relatively little work had been done to ascertain to what extent and for how long, species whose seeds are commonly included in seeds-mixtures used for laying land down to pasture persist in such pastures. The present writer commenced his investigations along these lines in 1913 on land the history of which was well known to him.

Excerpt from A Pasture Handbook Advancement in the management of pastures, meadows, and ranges, and realization that these crops contribute to soil conservation and to efficient farming, have been salutary developments in the farm pro gram of recent years. The right use of pasture and of roughage crops is of basic importance in a national program of efficient farming, in the control of erosion, and in the building of soil fertility.

Excerpt from Pasture Grasses and Forage Plants, and Their Seeds, Weeds, and Parasites Others again advocate the use of forage plants and grasses hitherto unknown to our agriculture, and so far has all this gone that a large section of the agricultural public is puzzled what guide to follow. Again it may be noted - ii one may draw inferences from the queries addressed to the agricultural press, and from the results of many conversations held by the writer with farmers, and with people who sell seeds in different parts of the United Kingdom - that there is a surprising lack of information on the subject of the parasites that injure or destroy the forage plants and the weeds that rob or stifle them.

Excerpt from Improving Pastures and Grasslands for the Northeastern States at the U. S. Regional Pasture Research Laboratory These differences among plants are the raw materials of plant breeding; Since plants or strains occurring naturally are seldom outstanding in more than a few of these characteristics, it is the task of the plant breeder to com bine the desirable characters from different plants or strains by appropriate genetic and breeding methods, thus synthesizing a new variety superior to each of its parents in one or several ways. The ideal combination of all desirable characters may not, and probably will not, be obtained for many years. The process of building new strains of forage species must proceed step by step, each advance, however, representing a practical benefit in terms of better and more economically produced animal products.

Excerpt from The Reseeding of Depleted Range and Native Pastures There is logic in the supposition that species growing under given conditions are better adapted to those conditions than introduced species and that they will thrive better when encouraged by scat tering and by partially covering their seeds than introduced kinds until conditions are more or less changed. These changes may be brought about by the destruction of the native vegetation, by over grazing, by thorough cultivation, or by any other means which inter feres with the natural order of the development of the plants. In other words when forage plants are introduced it is usually neces sary to give them special care in order that they may be able to compete with native species. This applies to practically all culti yated crops. There are certain notable exceptions to this general rule in certain special natural conditions and it is these exceptions that are of especial interest. Acting up on the suggestion that the native species are best adapted to the natural conditions in which they are found much time was spent by the State agricultural experiment stations and by the Department of Agriculture a few years ago in experimenting with the reseeding of native pastures with native species. Large quan tities oi: native seed were gathered and planted under various con ditions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Permanent and Temporary Pastures I feel a special pleasure in acknowledging the great services rendered me by Dr. J. Augustus voelcker, in making a series of chemical analyses of agricultural grasses expressly for this book. These analyses will be found at pages 160 to 204. They are of a more exhaustive and practical character than any which have previously been published, and, with the Report on page 159, they will be of considerable interest to scientific agriculturists. Finally, I have had the advantage Of drawing upon my father's experience of over fifty years in laying down land in every county, and almost in every parish, of the kingdom, as well as large tracts in the Colonies. This book does not profess to be a standard authority on British Grasses. My aim has been to show the relative agricultural value of varieties upon which I have personally experimented. For any omissions that may be detected perhaps I may be allowed to plead that the work has been written in brief moments snatched at intervals from an absorbing business.

Annotation In All Flesh Is Grass: The Pleasures and Promises of Pasture Farming, Gene Logsdon explains that well-managed pastures are nutritious and palatable - virtual salads for livestock. Leafy pastures also hold the soil, increase biodiversity, and create lovely landscapes. Grass farming may be the solution for a stressed agricultural system based on an industrial model and propped up by federal subsidies. The pasture farming that Gene Logsdon practices can also produce grains, fruits, herbs, mushrooms, and salad greens for human consumption. The book explains historically effective practices and new techniques that have blossomed in recent years for the care and sustenance of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, and poultry on pasture. Logsdon's warm profiles of successful grass farmers offer inspiration and ideas. His narrative is enriched by his experience as a "contrary farmer" on his own artisan-scale farm. The culmination of a lifetime's experience, this book is vital for owners of small acreages, home food producers, horse enthusiasts, and sustainable commercial farmers.
