AGRICULTURAL.
HAY-M AISIEG.

The proper time for cutting grass, is a matter
upon which, among the best of farmers, diversity
Of opinion prevails Clover, it is believed, should
be cut when the flowers first begin to fade. In
respect to Timothy grass, it is debateable point,
whether it should be cut in the flower, or when the
seed is formed and almost rpened For market,
the greener the hay, provided it is sweet, the bet
ter it always sells, According to the analytical
experiments Of Sinclair, the nearer it approaches to
ripeness, the more nutrltive matter it contains
Many persons are of opinion that the decision of
Jury of cattle would be much more satisfactory and
conclusive.
Sundry modes have been suggested for the cur
ing of clover hay. No grass, III our humble opn-
ion, suffers greater deterioration from excessive
drying, and much stirring and tossing about. Our
practice, and which of course we think the best,
has not been to spread clover, but simply to turn
the swath after the top is wilted, and in the after
noon of the day on which it is cut put it carefully
into small cocks and let it remain until it is su
GENTLY cured to carry to the barn. When this Is
to be DONE the cocks should be turned over so that
any moisture which may be at the bottom of them,
may be dried off, Cured in this way, it comes out
perfectly bright and sweet, the leaves and bios
sons remain on, and value il more than any
other grass for our sheep and cattle
On some farms 1t is no uncommon thing to spend
Il part OF the Sabbath in hay making Is it ever
necessary? Sometimes. to be sure, if it be not
ured. But this is only when the sun shines hot
on the Sabbath upon hay that mas been wet then
if the hay is not opened, it may be badly injured
but nothing more need be done than to open it.
AS far as our observation authorizes conclu-
sion, we have hesitation in saying, that on those
farms where work is avoided on the Sabbath, the
hay is secured in as good condition and with as
much economy, as where the Sabbath is appropria
ted to hay making. We know that in general il
can be so planned, that every thing can be so Sc
cured on Saturday, that nothing shall suffer, in any
ordinary weather, by beng left untouched on the
Sabbath and we are of the belief that this day o
rest is SO needlu to the hard laboring man. that he
can and will, taking the year round, accomplish al
much in the six days of labor and one of rest, a,
in seven Of labor without any one for rest Taking
no other arguments than those which are furnished
by observation OF men and the human system, W.
are prepared to oppose labor on the Sabbath, al
unproftable,. and thing to be avoided Contra

" Every morning, when washing YOURSELF dip your

under the water as long you can hold your

siderably affects the ball. gentleman in Mary

Losing Bet A waggsh fellow named John
son, once bet another IN Albany, that he could
throw him over the Hudson. The man was foolish
enough to take the bet and the stake, $40, was put
in the holders hands. a large crowd went down
to see the performance, and Johnson, with great
composure, seized the man by the nape of the neck
and al another point, and pitched him six feet into
the river off the wharf The green un came up
putting and blowing, and as he could speak,
said, "You've lost the bet!" "Not by a jug full"
said Johnson; 81 only wanted to get the hsf of
you-and I'll throw all day, but I'd get you over
at last"
