HAY MAKING-It has been definitely set
tied that the great object to be sought is the
preservation of hay in condition most nearly
resembling the grass in aperfect state. In or
der to accomplish this end, grass should he cut
when it contains the greatest amount Cf glut-
ten, sugar and such other matter as are Solu-
BILE in water. When the plant has formed its
seed, this stage has passed and woody fibre
predominates-th being insoluble cannot as
simulate itself to the requirements of the ami
mails stomach. When grass is in full flower,
but before the seed has formed, it contains the
greatest amount of saccharinc matter this
speedily diminishes as it ripens, which together
with the decay of the leaves, causes loss in
its nutrltlve properties. Quite number of
grasses are exceptions to this rule-some con-
tanning the most nutriment when fully ripe
but as general principle, for the benefit of
both hay and the land upon which it is grown
We would advise the cutting Mt full flower.
The process of curing should, if possible, be
perfected in the cock. Hay thus made retains
more of the color and juices of the grass than
when thinly spread over the field exposed to
the rays of the burning sun. 1t should, If
spread, be gathered into wnrows or foot
cock at night-dew falling upon it when thus
scattered, results in more or less injury. The
point after cutting is to preserve it from dew
and rain, as these soon wash away the soluble
salts, and its keeping qualities are thereby af-
fected, for hay thus deteriorated ferments very
readily when stacked If the weather is uil-
favorable, the less hay is shook about the bet
ter. 1t will preserve its nutritiyc properties,
for considerable period of time if left undis-
turbed, but when submitted to repeate dry
ings and wettings it is soon be utterly ruined

How TO OBTAIN EARLY LIMA BEAXs-We
observed recently an excellent mode of start
ing Lima beans, both for an early crop and
avoiding the danger to the young plants from
the depradations Of insects, &c. One hundred
eight inch pots were placed in small forcing
house, each pot filed with good rich soil, and
as many beans planted therein as would form
hill. In very few days the plants broke
ground, and grew rapidly in the warm, moist
atmosphere of the house. When of sufficient
size, the ground is prepared and the pot
emptied of contents, hole dug, and the mass
of earth containing the plants, remaining I'M
broken, placed in it. The soil is then filled
in around it, and the job is finished-the poles
having been put in their places previousl y
Another crop of plants can then be obtained
by the same process, 50 that succession of
thiS excellent vegetable can be had through
out the season.-OfiO Farmer, June ~.

CHEAP AND DURABLE WAsH-Thc following
is most excellent, cheap, and durable wash
for wooden fence and buildings. 1t owes its
durability chiefly to the arhue ritrOl, which
harlens and fixes the wash.
Take barrel and slack one bushel Of fresh
ly burned lime in it, by covering the lime with
boiling water
After Stacked, add cold water enough to
bring it to the consistency of good white wash.
Then dissolve in water, and add one pound Of
white vitrol (suphate of zinc,) and one quart
of fine salt.
To give this cream color, add one-halt a
pound of yellow ochre Gin powder). TO give
it faun co'or, add pound of yellow ochre,
and one fourth of pound Of Indan red.
To make the wash handsome grey stone
color, add one half pound of French blue,
and one-fourth of pound of Indian red a
drab will be made by adding one-half pound of
burnt SIENNA, and onefourth pound Venetian
red
For brick or stone, instead of one bushcl of
lime, use half bushel of lime and half bushel
of hydraulic cement.

farmer's Department.
Grinding Feed.

Experimental farmers have long urged the
importance, and even lie essity, of chopping OF
grinding hay, as well as other food for cattle
and horses The lazy drones have had a
hearty laugh over the idea, and call it al book
farming"
Now the theory of chopping and grinding
food is based on principle which lies at the
foundation of animal physiology. Rest is es-
sential to the accumulation Of muscle, as well
as fat. If we wish to increase an animal in
flesh, or fat, we do not work him.
Now, COW eats one thirteenth of her own
weight in hay day, to keep her in good order
and we may thus calculate the amount of la
Dor required to mastcate the food, and fit it
for the stomach The labor Of chopping or
grinding twenty-five pounds Of dry hay a
day is no small item This excessive labor is
performed by one set of muScle-thc jaws ; but
by sympathy affects all the other muscles, eau
ses the blood to circulate quicker, the breath
faster, the consumption of food greater, and
still the growth of the animal is retarded.
If machine was invented to grind hay, the
ground article would approximate in value to
unground oats, in producing fat and muscle.
Chopping hay and stalks is valuable just in
proportion as it approximatcS to grinding, and
relieves the animal of the labor of grinding it.
An animal fed on GROUND or minced food, may
perform an amount of labor equal to grinding
it fit for digestion, and fat as fast as another
which does not labor, but grnds its own food.
