How TO DRY HAY.-Keep it stirring if
you would have it dry in two days. Two
tons on an acre may be dried in that time
provided il is often stirred. The air must be
admitted to circulate through it in all cases
where there is good burthen.
The swaths should be shaken up early in
the dGy, OF soon after cutting-but they need
tuning again before noon to expose them
properly 10 the air and in some cases it will
be proper TO stir them third time before
raking.
When the swaths have been thoroughly
stirred and exposed 10 the sun and air. the
hay is raked with as much more ease, as
it is lighter an lies up higher on the stub
bic, letting the teeth Of the horse rake have
room enough to take hold Thus frequent
stirring often saves much labor in gathering,
and saves long exposure to the weather.
For the want of thorough stirring, hay must
be exposed one day longer than it need be
TO the risk of bad weather, and more labor
also may be required On the whole than
than if some extra time should be expended
soon after moving.
Half a peck Of cheep salt for each ton
will be enough for cattle. More may be
strcwn on that which has not had good
chance 10 dry, while a less quantity will suf-
flee when the hay is dry enOugh.-Aass.

EXPERIENCES IN RAISING WHEAT.

Friend D. Ball Of Morgan Co., writes to
the Malta NeVS Boy his experience in wheat
raising, under date of 9Th mo-, 25th. His re-
marks and resolves are both right according
to our notions of the subject, as we Judge he
applies them to falloW ground. If red clover
is to be turned in, we should say, let it stand
until two or three weeks before the time to
SOW il on lightish soil that can be plowed
deeply at that time, and then turn in under
ten or twelve inches deep; let the land lay
two or three weeks, and then give it a good
narrowing lengthwise of the furrow, and
shortly after drill in your wheat, or if you
have no drill, cover it with the cultivator or
light gang plow, so as to get the seed deep
enough to find moisture in which to germin-
ate Friend Ball says:
al have twenty-five acres of wheat to
harvest portion Of which is of an early va
Iiety. The yellow straw which was sown in.
good season, the middle Of 9th mo-, on land
facing the south, is now ripe, is well filled, !,
and not injured by the weavil, and is profit
able crop. Another field of the same variety,
sown nearly the same time on land facing the
northeast, and consequently much later

ably thick and even on the ground, and about

Another portion of the crop is white blue
stem, which is an excellent wheat. 1t was
sown the first of tenth month, and came to
a stage for the weevil to operate on just at
the time when they were most numerous
consequently badly injured. Now my re-
solve is to SOW no more than can get sowed
in good season, and on the most favorable
land that have. l have lost more labor and
time by sowing late, and on unsuitable land,
not well famed, than all the rest of my losses
in farming operations put together be-
lieve that the late sown wheat is much more
liable TO be destroyed by the fly, weevil and
rust. have had the best success in obtain
ing good, profitable crop, when plow be-
fore harvest as deep as conveniently can
Then at a suitable time manure, leaving the
manure in small heaps, spreading no more
than can he plowcd under the same day

and exposed to the rays Of the hot sun, loses
much Of its valube substance that the wheat
requires to insure good crop - Ohio

ENTERTAINMENT OF BooKs.-By reading, a
man does, as it were, antedate his life, and
makes himself contemporary with the ages
past. And this way of running up beyond
ones real nativity is much better than Plato's
pre-existence because here a man knows
something of the state, and is wiser for it ;
which he is not in the other. In conyersing with
books, we may choose our company. The
reader has, as it were, the spirit and essence
in narrow compass; like an heir, he is born
rather than made rich, and comes into stock
of sense with little or no trouble of his own.
However. to be constantly in the wheel, has
neither pleasure nor improvement in it. A
man may well expect to grow stronger by
always eating, as wiser by always reading !;
too much overcharges nature, and turns more
into disease than nourshment. IT'S thought
and digestion which make books seryiceable,
and give health and vi 5or to the mind. Meth
er ought we to be too explicit or resigning to
authorities, but to examine before we assent,
and preserve our reason in its just liberties.
To walk always upon crutches, is the way to
lose the use of our limbs Rural, New.

FEED FOR Cows AND Pres The cheap
est food for pigs through the season, that We
know Of, is tender young clover, refuse or
sour milk, and in autumn, the dropping fruit
of an apple orchard. Practical farmers diff,
fer as to the propriety of cutting clover and
soil One of the most skillfal farmers in
Wesleln New Yolk thinks it decidedly best
to shut up his pigs, and cut and feed the clo-
yer to them, alleging, from his own expert
ence, that running about pasture wastes
more value OF flesh than the cost OF soiling,
Oilers have given different opinion, but
these may not have f0d their igs regularly,
nor provided them with the necessary COM
fonts Of close pen. Certain breeds may
also be better adapted TO confinement than
Others. We should like the results Of accu
rate experiments on this subject. A crop Of
peas may be found advantageous as fool for
