SALTING HAY---TW o DAN
GERS ATTENDING TT.

The season for cutting and curing
grasses and clover for hay being near at
hand, it may be well to remind some and
inform others that there are wrong as
well as right ways of performing this sim
pie operation; or in other words, that
there are errors and dangers of loss and
damage, which ought to be avoided in the
application of salt to hay. There are,
probably, several who have discontinued
the practice of sailing their hay ; some,
on account of the difficulty of having i'll
done properly, which consists in applying
it in small quantities to each successive
layer, and some for other reasons, among
which this may be one. that they know
ola better way of administering salt to
their stock. Still, though some may have
discontinued it, there are not few who
continue to think it, what it was almost
universally esteemed some years ago, a
frst-rate practice. To such, and to all
who are likely to apply salt to their hay,
we submit the following suggestions.
If salt be applied in too large quaint
ties the animals fed upon it will certain
" lose ia condition. When an animal is
forced. by long abstinence, or by its food
> being too highly sailed, to partake of salt
in Quantities beyond what the natural IL
strict of the animal would dictate, then L
becomes poisonous and injurious, and de
tenorates the health and condition of Al
animal by undue secretions from TIL
; liver, bowels, &c. These excessive Sc
y cretions rob the animal of portion of it
= food, and carry off what would otherwis
be converted into fat, or flesh, or milk &c
1t thus becomes a matter of considera
= be practical Importance to determin
- what is the quantity of salt which an an
: nal would naturally or instinctively crav
~ during the consumption Of ton of ha.
. Some have recommended as much as
h quarts of salt to each ton of hay an
"a very few have ever recommended an
vs. less a quantity than 4 quarts. Now,
Cd is our firm persuasion, from observation
made by ourselves and others, that in IL
IL cold months no creature would crave
NJ even voluntarily eat as much as even
ed quarts of salt during the time of its co
lar Stunning ton of hay. Ifso, this quantit
ic- and all beyond it, would only be injurio
to cattle or stock of any kind, when fore
upon them with their food.
T. This is one of the errors or dangC
ret which it would be well to guard again
ed The other consists in the practice of g
on ting in hay in damp or partially cur
he state, under the supposition or expec

POKING FUN AT THE COMET.

BALAKLAVA.

"Charge!" rung voice
Along the waiting lines:
Like a sudden wind
That strikes the forest pines,
And then drops dead upon the leaves it stirred
So fell, with dead sound, that cruel word.
Charge! why, twas wild!
Stern chieftains held their breath
To make the braves Of Albion
Charge the realms Of Death.
"Cbarce :" rung that voice along the waiting ranks
Then scabbards flashed against the chargers fanks'
Then through the opening made
Rushed dauntless, undismayed,
The flower Of England chivalry-
The gallant Light Brigade!
"Charge!"
And they charged, o God through iron rain
Through bursting shells and kissing balls
Even to the Russians fiery walls
Braid them a wreath
Behind they left sickening train
OF heroes, mangled, dying, slain
Braid them a wreath!
On, through searching sheets offame!
On where the mounting cannons flashed!
Where grenade and rocket crashed
On through sulphurous cloud and shell
Into the purple heart Of hell!
On as 10 victory they dashed
Instead Of death On, on they came
To immortality and fame
That mocks the little tyranny of Death
o Bnttons! when your lips shall boast
Offelds and sceptres you have won,
OF Waterloo ard Wellington
Oh honor and revere them most
The Flower OF chivalry We lost
At Ballkava.
And when ye pour the blood red WINE
Freely as 'twere mounting flood
When chalces and hearths are trimmed
0 Brtons! let your eyes be dimmsd;
For free as wine ran martyr blood:
At Balaklava.
Oh who, in after-times can say
One man was bravest in the fray?
For all were heroes on that day
At Balaklava.
And light Rrigades shall deathless be
Upon the scroll Of History,
And on the lips Of Poesy.
