is recovering, and promises fair croo; and
even gardens may, though late, furnish
good return for the care bestowed on them.
But all this brings with it new care ,and Few

Effect of Clover Hay on Animals.

Some late writers have taken the position
shas.eisver hay produces most injurious
tffect on domestic animals, particularly hor-
ses, and that to this cause the great increase
of diseased horses is 10 be attributed. We
lately heard farmer affirm that he believes
the Introduction Of clover into general cul-
tivation the gre aiest curse yet inf c'ed on
the country. and assigned as a reusJn for
his singular opinion its effects on animals
when used as fodder. Late English W tiers
have attributed to this kind of hay The prev
alence of heaves in disensed horses, and the
great increase of Other diseases thrt affect
the respiratory organs. TIL is most i'm
portant subject, and should receive a full
and thorough investigator.
Clover is too important plant to be dis
carded or condemns d, except apon the m s
satisfactory evd, nee. Its va ne As ieriil-
Izer and preparaJiye for wheat, to say
nothing OF its use fer pasture and bay, would
demand that it should not be CONDEMNED
unheard. For ourselves, we have yery lit
tie belief in the injurious properties assign
&c TO clever We have used it constantly
for pasture and for hay, moro than thirty
years, and never, to our know ledge, has any
animal suffered frum it, certainly no hcrse
has been taken with the heaves when fed
on it, or while in our possession As hay
fer sheep we ccn, ider it unrivallel, and
should have no fears but any stock would
winter well with supply of well-cured
clover hay.
And here lies, we think, the great source
Of objection to clover hay. 1t is too often
imperfect'y cured. To save the leaves and
heads, which ere apt to fail in handling or
curing, the hay is put into the burn while
the large stalks are fL.l of moisture, or the
na'vral juices, and the fermentation which
ensues, causes the whole mas tc become
damp, snd If not spoiled wholly it bccoue
moaldy aud black. and when used, raise 5
such dust it is no wonder that horses and
cattle are choked. and their lungs DESTROYED
Our experience shows that clover may be
perfectly cured without losing any of its
parts; cured so that when fed out no more
dust viii be flying than from Timothy or
herdsgrass. and we shall be SLOW to believe
that from such hay any injury to animals
ever ensued.-Ohio Valley Farmer.
