Making Hay.

Glover hay cut at the period of infor-
oscence, and thorously made, has been
found by repeated experiments, to lose
about four-ftths Of its weight in "ma-
king" When the flower has fallen, and
the stalks have lost some Of their moisture
the loss in drying is three quarters of the
weight of the crop when cut probably a
fair average where the grass is in the state
of advancement FAST indicated, and the
labor OF making is performed with free
exposure to the sun and air, one hundred
pounds will be reduced to twenty.
Glover. iI al its varieties, is valuable

IN an emminent degree, upon the method
Of cG!ing it. Formerly it was the prac-
tice to NOW in the morning, and after re-

loss attending this method was soon found
to be serious abstraction from the pref.
it of the crop. while the expense of ma
king, to say nothing Of the moming, va,
scarcely repaid BY what remained.
Now, clover is cut as soon as the dew
IS off, allowed to remain in the swath un-
disturbed by the rake orfork until toward
night, when if the weather is clear or not
it is carefully turned, in order that new
