PHILOSOPHY OF CURING Hay.

The following from the Ohio Farmer is
sensible and to the point:
"Don't dry your hay too much. Hay
moy be died until it as worthless as straw.
As good coffee maker would say, Don't
burn Your coffee, but brewn it, so we say,
don't dry your hay, but cure it. Our good
old mothers, who relied upon herb tea
instead of 'po:ecary medicine gathered
their herbs when in blossom aud cured
them in the shade. This is the philosophy
of making good hay. Cut in the blossom
and cure in the shade. The sugar of the
plant, when it is in bloom, is in the stalk,
ready to form the seeds. If the plaet is
cut EARLIER, the sugar is not there; if later
the sugar has become converted to woody
matter. Has should be well wilted in the
sun, but cured in the cock. Better to be a
little too green than too dry. If, on put
ting it into the barn, there is danger Of
beating 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 constitutes the
goodness of hay, out Of it; and the a1di
ton of showers render it almost worthless.
Grass cured with the least exposure to the
drying winds and searching sunshine, is
more nutritious than if longer exposed, how
ever good the weather may be. 1t 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 fibre; and curing it tt
the point when it will answer to put int
the barn without heating, and no MORE

R~ THE LEcruRE-The citizens OF
Sioux City had the pleasure of listening
to very eloquent lecture, on Wednesday
evening, delivered by Col. McDoUeALL, a
brother of our worthy fellow citizen G. R.
McDouGALL, Esq. The lecture was re-
plete with instructive incidents of the war,
and of the manner in which Unionists
are treated by the rebels. He was driven
from his home, in East Tennessee, by
their prosecutions, and escaped from them
in a most miraculous manner. We were
very much pleased with the lecture, as
wereall who had the pleasure Of hearing it.
The subject Of the lecture was the War
and its influences on Society, and the
Social relations.

The Telegraphic News.

By an arrival at New York from New
Orleans we have an account of the battle
at Baton Rouge. Our forces, numbering
about $500, defeated 5000 rebels under
Generals Lowell and Breckenridge. 1t is
stated that Lowell was killed, and that
Breckenridge lost an arm. The commander
of the National forces, General Williams,
was killed.
The same arrival brings the gratifying
news that the Ram Arkansas grounded, and
was destroyed by the gunboat Essex.
The news from Cumberland Gap is most
gratifying. Instead of being defeated, the
Union forces achieved success in sharp
engagement. There has been no fight at
Big Greek Gap, as reported, nor any other
engagement in the vicinity OF Tazewell.
AT the propagation of Parliament, the
Queen avowed her intention of continuing
neutral in the American contest.

Are the Loyal States Growing Weary of
the War:

The London Times argues in long arti-
Gle that the Loyal States are growing weary
of the war for national life and integrity.
Such is not the fact. On the contrary, the
people Of the Loyal States are proving, day
by day, their determination to stand by the
Government at all hazards, in the prosecu.
tion of the war for the purposes solemnly
announced by Congress in the Crittenden
resolution. Though disappointed at the
slow progress of the war, they are not dis
heartened. They believe that if the rebels
are beaten at Richmond, the military power
of the rebellion will be destroyed, and it will
be impossible for the leaders, under any Cir
cumstances, to call together large army
in any part of the seeded States. Then,
with powerful force still in the field, we
may look for a reaction 10 the South
against the traitors and the revival of the
Union feeling.
