openod. and turned and loosened early
in the morning, SO as TO avoid sponta-
neous fermentation. If the weather be
fair. the hay cut yesterday will be fit for
cooking this afternoon, but II is not ready
for stacking or housing. A great error
is often committed in cooking hay, in
allowing it 10 remain in the stacks too
long. When cooked the hay is merely
wiied, not cured, and. if allowed TO re-
main in cocks will ferment there. They
should be opened and spread about, and
re-cocked several times before being
stacked or housed Shaking hay about,
has great effect in curing il, much
more than is generally supposed. 1t
exposes it TO fresh air which carries of
the water, and the oftener it is shaken
up, the sooner and better ii will be cured.
Many object to shaking up the hay while
the dew is on in the morning. This is
an error. A good shaking at that time
will ef1ectually dry it.
Many an old farmer will undoubtedly
laugh at my simplicity, in thinking it
necessary to give such place
notions publicity. But if they would
take a look at the hay that is daily
/ brought into all our markets for sale,
they would find abundant excuse for
me. Nine tenths of the hay thus expo
sed for sale, is mere mass Of dry straw ;
much of it made so 10y curing, and the
rest by unreasonable cutting. Hay, in
perfect state, should be of a bright
greenish color, and as odorllerous as
green tea but the mass of that brought
to our markets, is of such dull straw
color, that it requires some close inspec-
ton TO ascertain whether il be hay. OF

credit Of producing the best hay we have

used that sent by them 10 the Baltimore
market, pressed IN bales, and found to
be worth, intrinsically, twenty-five to
thirty per cent. more than that usually
+. brought here from the surrounding coun-
try. And the reason of this difference
in quality, evidently grew out of the
manner Of curing, and attention to the
time of cutting. There is as good hay
made here as there is in the North, anc
as good farmers, and as scientific farm
ers too, but they are exceptions to the
rule, itself. My object, of course, is t,
