Hay-Malring--.A Fact Worth Con-
sideling.

A writer in the Homestead remarks that
he is satisfied from much experience, that
grass cut early in the morning, while loaded
with dew, cannot, even by the most seduous
attention, be made as dry in the whole day,
as it would have been if it had not been cut
until the dew was off, in half an hours prop
er tending. So thoroughly is he convinced
that it requires great deal more time and
more labor to make hay when the grass Is
cut while wet with dew, that he would not
thank any one to do the cutting in that con-
dition if it should be done for nothing. He
does not think anything is ever gained by
cutting grass before breakfast, or before the
dew is pretty nearly dried off He devotes
the time in the morning to putting nipple
ments in order, unloading the hay drawn in
the previous evening, and doing whatever
else might require to be attended through the
day, 50 that no hindrance might occur after
all hands had commenced to work at hay
Grass cut after the dew is nearly or quite
drief off, when light Or not very heavy, well
turned and tended, will be ready, when the
weather is favorable, to be drawn into the
barn on the same day.
These statements may lead some to make
change for the better in the mode of con-
Quoting their hay-making processes. We
hnow that has may sometimes be got in ex-
ceent order On the same day in which it is
cut The conditions usually thought essential
to this rapid curing, are hot sun, consider
able stirring or turning, and light or thin
burden of grass. But it may be that light
dews or cutting after the dew is off, have more
influence upon rapid curing than is usually
ascribed to them. Any one DESTROYS of put
ting this matter to the test, can readily do SO
by moving a few rods in length while heavy
dew is on the grass, and then a like quantity
an hour or two later when the dew is almost
or altogether dried Let both patches be
spread turned and stirred alike, and it may
then be seen how much the moisture of the
dew may have retarded the curing Of the
hay.
We have met with those who, while ready
to admit that cutting grass, while the dew is
on it, if likely to retard its drying off and
curing, think that the greater ease with which
grass may be cut while the dew is on, fully
counterbalances the slow curing. Others,
again, we have met with, so thorough per-
suaded that cutting while the dew is on is in
furious, that though paying men high wages
in haying them, they put them to hoeng corn
or doing chores, rather than have them 60 to
moving early in the morning.

HARVEST DRiNK.--When men are engaged
in the harvest field under the influence of an
intensely hot sun, sweating at every pore,
they necessarily become thirsty, and require
a refreshing beverage, and as we know none
better calculated to alay thirst, refresh and
invigorate the system than the one we recon-
mendea last year, we will repeat it this -
Stir well together 10 gallons of cold water,
gallon of molasses, ! quart of vinegar and
IA pound of ground ginger. A beverage
thus made, is as refreshing as it is healthful
and palatable, and should be supplied to the
hands whenever needed.

WHAT Is THE MATTER WITH TIE HENS >
Have not had an egg fora week and the
corn they eat is caution these hard times"
They are shut up in the yard, of course, and
cannot have access to the green grass, and to
the insects, which Providence has provided
for them in Summer. " Men shall not live
by bread alone" And the proverb is true
of fowls. What could you expect of sensi-
bic hens, but that they would stop laying
when you cut off the supplies? Now get a
liver from the butchers stall, or any other
cheap meat, and see with what avidity they
will devour it, and almost quarrel for the last
morse. Ohal from the fsh-market, or any
animal food, will answer quite as well. II
at distance from markets, upon the farm,
and you confnc your hens, mix coarse meal
with whey, Or skinned milk, to satisfy their
craving for animal food. Supply them also
with clear water, and grass or weeds daily,
and ashes and oyster shells. Look also at
the roosts, and keep the droppings we'll
sprinkled with plaster and muck. Attend to
these things, and you and the hens will soon
sing new song over the fresh-laid eggs.
