When should Crops be Harvested,

The prevailing opinion is, that grass
and especially grain crops, should not be
cut I'LL ripe or whatever may be the
opinion, such is the general practice
This is an error, and one of no little
Consequence and we offer some conside-
rations, which if understood, will, we
trust, set this matter in a clearer light
Let US first look at one or two lessons
plainly told us by chemistry.

Mr. Hotlctt, of Baltimore county.
whose Suggestions we always receive with
pleasure as the result Of intelligent OBJ
servation il connexion with highly sue
cessful pra Zee, tells us that he is in the
habit of swing orchard grass, timothy
and cloyei seeds together, for hay and
pasture, and never fails with these to get
a good turf, He has very high opin-
ion of tho value of orchard grass in con-
nexion with clover, for hay and for its
abundant aiter-math The timothy, cut
with these, does not attain it's full perfec-
ton, but this is compensated in mea-
sure by is larger growth. He sows in
the fall peck Of timothy and bushel
If orchard grass seeds, and in spring
anothcrbushcl of orchard grass and peck
Of clover seed. This is very heavy seed
ing, but is thought to be justified by the
great Importance Of cnsuring a thorough

reasoning applies glually te'3,.fo. y.losii,,,
as well as to straw corn talks, grasses,
&C.,
Those portions Of THO grain which are
to be used solely br pfducing the plant
and this is the tafatR design Of all
seeds-may be left !, ripen naturally.
The woody coating is designed as a pro-
tecting coyering,
Having thus cddeavored to state very
briefly some of tlle reasons for CUTTING
grain ear(y-andlit must be interesting
to every one TO Understand these reasons
we will close nj article with two or
three rules wkiqhare not only sustained
by the theory Tut have been fully
proved by careful practice and expert
ment.
LIST. All grasse should be cut as soon
as possible after lowering Much more
than is gained in weight after this, is
lost by the convsion of the nourishing
substances into I'D, woody matter.
"a. Corn, what, and all other grains
designed for fol-, should be gathered
eight to twelveliays before fully ripe.
A simple METH Of determining this, is tc
try the kernels with the thumb nail. Let
the gathering fmmence Immediately af-
ter the " milB begins to harden, but
while the kern still yields to a gentle
pressure Of the nail.
An acre of kheat, that if cut when
fully ripe wodl yield 800 lbs. of fine
Hour, will, iffut ten days earlier, yield
from 800 to 1000 lbs, of -four of a
better quality while the straw will be
much more tluable for feeding.
An acre 4 grass, which when cut full
" ripe woplt yield 900 lbs. of nour-
ishing dige4Se materials, and 2 ,00t
lbs. of wooJ matter, will, if cut lively,
days earliorf yield from | 500 to l 500
lbs, of nourEhing matter, and only L..
200 to l so lbs. of woody materials
