CLovrR IlAr. The editor OF the New
England Farmer has high opinion Of clo-
yer hay for mich cows-bctter, we think,
than has usually been accorded TO II in New
England. We COPY tho following from n
late number Of that paper:
Farmers who have kept, and themselves
fed. variety Of stock. sheep. horses. oxen
and COWS. both dry and in milk. are pretty
much of one opinion, we believe, rs to tho
value Of clover hay for stock, viz that
when II is well grown and properly secured,
/, /, more valuable than any other hay.
Such. certainly. is our opinion. after having
fed Extensively, and particularly to sheep.
In recent conversation with Mr.. John Day
Of Bo,ford. who cuts large quantities OF
clover. he stated that hc feeds most of his
clover hay to cows giving milk, and he has
noticed that when the clover is exhausted
and herdsgrass and red,op are supplied. 20
cows Immediately shrunk two cans Of milk
per d'y. We have heard similar statements
from other observing farmers. II then, clio.
yer hay is so cxccllcn, for producing milk,
1t must also bc good for making hc-h. and
especially excellent in promoting the growth
OF young stock.
