several cattle and sheep yards, one lot of cat
tie had to eat the ripe bay, and am perfectly
sure that it is great loss to let timothy hay
get any thing near ri pc; in fact, whenever it
begins to come in blossom, it is time to BEGIN
cutting. If there is much to cut, and not
plenty of hands, some will then get too ripe.
! would prefer good wheat straw, cut before
it is too ripe, to ripe timothy for either cattle
or sheep.
The loss farmers sustain by letting their hay
get too ripe is immense. would rather have
tour quarts of meal per day, with good green
timothy hay, than to have peck with ripe
hay, to fat steer with. Cut grass or clover
green, cure in swath or cock. and it will make
either sheep or steers fat in FIVE months with
out grain if they are properly attended to
but still it is more profitable to feed part
grain.

dred sheep on wheat straw, with one bushcl
of oil cake meal to the one hundred sheen per
day. and now they are fat, although thin when
bought them. Joan JOHNSON.

With regard to Coal we consider this treaty one of

than they can get it at home; while Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois can doubtless do the same b. Upper
