Hay Making.


Dontt dry your hay loo much. Hay may be
dried till it is as worthless as straw. As a
good coffee maker would say Don. burn
your coffee, but brown it," so we say, don t
dry your hay, but cure it. Our good old
mothers, who relied upon herb tea instead of
"'pothecary medicine" gathered their herbs
when in blossom, and cured them in the shade.
This is the philosophy of making good bay.
Cut in the blossom and cure in the shade
The sugar of the plant when it is in bloom, is
in tue stalk, ready to form the seeds. Ii the
plant is cut earlier, the sugar is not there if
later, the sugar has become converted to woody
matter.
Hay should be well wilted in the sun, but
cured in the cock. Better be little too green
than too dry. If, putting it into the barn,
there is danger of cheating in the NOW" put
on some salt. Cattle will like it none the
less.
Heat, light and dry winds will soon take
the starch and sugar, which constitute the
goodness of hay, out OF it; and, with the ad.
dition OF showers, renders it almost worthless.
Grass cured with the least exposure to the
drying winds and scorching sunshine, is more
nutritious than if longer exposed, however
good the weather may be. If ever cured, it
contains more woody fibre and less nutritive
matter.
The true art of hay making, then, consists
IN cutting the grass WHEN the starch and sugar
are most fully developed, and before they are
converted into seed and woody fiber; and
curing it up to the point when it will answer
to put 1t into the barn without heating, and no
more.

Fear not, o little flock the foe
Who madly seeks your overthrow,
Dread not his rage and power;

His seeming triumph DER od's saints
Last but a little hour.
Be OF good cheer; your cause belongs

CURIOSITY OF THE CENsUs.-There is one
parish in England which has increased its pop
uation during the last decennial period by no
less than 100 per cent. The parish of Adring.
ton, near Brighton, was the only parish that
returned in the census of 1851 single unit of
population. The parish is entirely agricultur-
al. 1t was for centuries without house.
When the road from Brighton to Shoreham
was made turnpike, it pleased the trustees
of the road to erect toll bar in the parish,
and the dollhouse, of course, had an occupant.
Thus the census of 1851 gave the population
as 'one." The census OF 1861 shows the
population of the same parish of two" an in.

AFRAID CONGRESS WILL NOT COME Up TO
THE MARK.-One feeling pervades our army
through its length and breadth. They have
left their homes to demand and enforce the
rights Of the people, as granted by the Con-
stitution, and the: desire no patch work
no half-measures, and only ask to be sus-
tanned by Congress and the Executive in
the war for the Union. A writer, over the
signature Of About Here" writes from
Harrisburg, Pa, July 4, to the Philadelphia
Bulletin:
The troops here are very much afraid that
Congress will effect some milk and water"
compromise, and they be denied the pleasure
of having brush" with the rebels, or even
sight at the Old Dominion. Anything
but complete subversion ofthe Disunionists
and their oligarchy would be regarded by
them with contempt.

they calculated upon the aid of the Demo-

movement. As the Chicago Journal re-
marks, since the rash and unjustitiable as
sault upon the Government by the Seces-
sonists, when Fort Sumter was fred upon
and its garrison forced to surrender, for no
other reason bat because the Government
proposed to provide the garrison with food
enough to keep them from starving to death,
