Cutting and Curing Clover Hay.

EDtroRsI1ENEsSEE FARMER According
10 the thirty years of close observation made
by the writer of this article, there is but one
method of curing clover hay which pays well
for the labor, and that labor | shall describe
shortly.
Observation has taugh me that the best
time for cutting clover is when two thirds of
the blooms begin to turn brown. At this age
Il makes the best hay, and is net sapry
enough to reduce much in tire curing pro-
cess. ~.
When the clover is at the above stage, cut
it as rapidly as possible; but never cut when
there is dew or rain water on the clover
Let the green clover be Put in small shocks
as fas: as cut doesn, so that the sun might
not wilt it. When enough is cut and shock
ed for large stack, haul up and stack as
fast as possible. The stack should be some
ID or Is feet at the base and I6 or IS feet
high, SO put up as to make it the shape of a
cone With a hay fork, let one hand throw
up the green clover, while the two hands
stack and trample it, SO as to make it as near
| air-tight as possible. Every foot in hight
should have one quart of salt sprikled regu-
larly over it. This will require about %
pouads to the stack. In finishing, top it Of
and rake il down SO as to turn rain. In ten
| or twelve days il will become wet and hot
and smoke like coal kiinsz SO as 20 have
every appearance Of roiting; but in ten Of
/ fifteen days more, il will cool off audabe
| found dry, sweet hay. @-s
! II, the clover were allowed TO wilt before
stacking the hay would be dark and dmouldyi
buts if put up greens sweet and free from
mould. This process preserves all the leases
/ OF the clover; 50 certain tu be lost oy ans
other process; and it also preserves ali the
volatile constituents of elovers which are SURE
to be lost when cured in the sunshine OF
open air. "ss,sai
The whole management may be summon
ed up in few words. Cut and stack free
from moisture, in the perfectly free state
salt il well, aud make the stack as near air
tight as hard trampng can make it. >

HIsT6RY OF PAPER.


The whole history of paper is itself cu-
rious. In early times. what was used for
writing upon was chiefly, if not wholly, i
something that neededno preparation beyotd7
some slight mechanical tashioning to adapt
it to the pursose. Fiat stones were used
smooth brieks-she leaves of plants sztfiu.
boards covered oeer with wax-plates of
metal, and vory-the skins and intesiines of
animals--all these have, in their turn. been
employed for writing or engraving upou--fer
the purpose, that is, for which we row use
paper. g saa52s ateo sff els Arsst Q
Then came that from which the name of
paper is derived-the papyrUs, Cyperace-
Gus acquatic plant, very common in Aby-
snia, Egypt and Syria. Papyrus, however,
was not only the name of the plant, but also
of the material made from il for writing up
on; and the ancient written scrolls of that
material, which have been found in various
countries, are called papyria. Yet the plant
in IT'S native state, underwent bat little man
ufacture. The Egyptians it is understood
were The first to make it available. They
took off the thin eoncentric coats or pel-
cles that surround the triangular stock of the
| plant, cutting them into strips OF a certain
length, and then pasling one upon another
until they formed sheet of sufficient thick
ness number of which were glued together
to form a seapus or roll. Next in advance
was the art of making what got the name oi
paper from the Aforesaid paPyri, from firbous
matter reduced to pulp in water and then
spread out in thin sheets, pressed and dried
Il This art, it is believed, was first invented BY
j the Chinese, who afterwards adopted liner
and cotton rags from which to make the pull
land here ends the history of the invention
j if not the manufacture of paper. Improve
ments in it have of course, from time to tint
been introduced. But the material continues

\ facture is still what it first was--by reducing

I'VE advise allyoung people 10 acqulre in
early life the habit of using good fanguage,
both IN speaking and writing, and to aban-
don as early as possible any use of slang
words, and phrases. The longer they live
the more difficult the acquisition. of such Ian
guage will be; and if the golden age of
youth, the proper season for the acquisition
OF language, be passed in its abuse, the un-
fortunate victim of neglected education is
very probably doomed TO talk slang for life.
Money is not necessary to procure this edu-
cation. Every man has ii in his power

reads, instead of the slang which he hears;
