EARLY CUTTING OF HAY.

Some wears ago [ cut some very good
timothy grass before harvest, and before
the blossoms had entirely fallen off. 1t
was cured in the very best manner, and
nlaced in NOW to which [ could at any
time have access. After harvest, and when
the seed had become so ripe as to shell out
considerably, I cut the same kind of grass
in the same field, and placed it in sepa-
rate NOW. At favorable time (the follow
ing winter for making fair experiment,
| carried out to my cattle hay from the
NOV in which [ had stored that which had
been cut while green, (before harvest, and
fed to each separate parcel After they
had fairly commenced feeding upon 1t, |
carried to each parcel of that which had
been cut after harvest; and from which the
seed shelled whenit was handled In every
instance the cattle Immediately quit the
"beautiful green hay" and ate up clean
that which was cut after harvest, before
touching the former. Indeed in many in
stances, they threw from their mouths
the green hay, the sooner to get at the
other. I repeatedly tried the same exper-
iment, and the result was the same in every
instance The reason of the preference
shown by the cattle for the hay cut after
harvest, | suppose to be this it was much
more easily masticated, and sweeter in
flavor than the other; that it retained, in
the stems, leaves and seeds, all the nutritive
matter which it possessed when green, and
probably with some additions, derived from
the earth and atmosphere, over and above
that of the green hay.
The green, early cut hay, although it
retained its green and beautiful appearance,
was tough and difficult to masticate and
very probably the crude and unelaborate
sap acquired an acid and bitterish taste
which was disagreeable to the palate, and
deleterious to the health of the cattle
Be this as it may, the experiments fully
satisfied me that the cattle were more fond |
of the latter cut hay; that they would eat
more of it, and keep in better condition
upon it, than the earlier cut green hay 1 |
have not so pefectly experimental in regard |
to horses and sheep; but have observed |
that they always made the same choice
with the cattle when opportunity offered
no doubt for the same reasons Cor. off

FRUIT AND FLOWERS.

informed US that fruit and flowers may be
preserved from decay and fading by INNER
sing them in solution of gumarabic and wa
ter two Or three times, waiting sufficient
time between each immersion to allow the
gum to dry. This process covers the sur
face of the fruit with a thin coating of
gum, which is entirely impervious to the
air, and thus prevents the decay of the
fruit, or the withering of the flower. To
insure success of experiments Of this kind,
it should be borne in mind that the whole
surface must be completely covered, for if
the air only gains entrance at pin-hole,
the labor will all be lost. In preserving
specimens of fruit, particular care should
be taken to cover the stem, end and all,
with the gum. A good way is to wind
thread of silk about the stem, and then sink
it slowly into the solution, which should not
be SO strong as to leave particle Of gum
undlssolved. The gum is so perfectly
transparent that you can with difficulty de-
