Cutting Grass Early.

We take up this subject some
what in advance of the season, be
cause we desire to impress on the
minds of farmers some points with
which it is connected. Evidence i'm
favor Of cutting grass early, accumu-
lates from year to year. We have
repeatedly called attention to the
fact that some farmers are in the
practice of fattening cattle chiefly
on hay. Thepracticability of doing
this may be doubted by those who
never fed any but what is called
ripe hay. Yet all expect to fatten
stock more or less on grass; and if
animals will fatten on grass while it
is green, why may they not be fat
ted on it when it is dry? There is no
reason why this may not be done,
providing the grass is cut and prop
erly cured at the stage when it con
tains in the highest degree the fat
tening properties.
Touching these principles, we will
cite some examples. H. Ii. Peters,
of scarborough: attended the ex-
hibition of the Franklin County Ag-
Society i'll 1861, and after
the exhibition visited some of the
stock-farms Of that section, particu-
larly the Messrs. Anderson, of Shell
burne, Of whose farm and manage
ment we have spoken on former
occasion. Mr.. p. was struck with |
the green appearance of their hay;
1T looked like rowen," he said. He |
was not little surprised to learn |
hat it was hay Of the first cutting
or the season; and still more supris.I

ed when told by Messrs. A. that
they got in the last load of their first
crop of hay on the last day. of June.
They have pursued this course for
/ several years, and find that by it
they are able to make beef profita-
bly,. Most of their land is moved
twice year-the second crop be-
ing, in good seasons, nearly equal to
the first.
Mr.. Peters was so much impress
ed with the advantages of this sys-
tenn, that he resolved to adopt it to
some extent. He therefore commen-
ced his haying last year on the goth
of June, taking the earliest grass on
rich land. By following up the
work thus seasonably begun, he was
enabled to get his entire crop-a-
mounting to $50 tons of upland or
! English hay-before any of it was
! over-ripe. Heretofore, commencing
to NOW when the grass was in bios
som, he has found it impracticable
to get through before some of the
grass was dead ripe, producing hay
no better than straw. His expert
ence IN the use of early-cut hay has
been so satisfactory, that he saws he
shall never go back to the old sys-
TEN. All his stock has done much
better on the green hay; the cows
give more milk; the young cattle,
so far as they have been fed on it,
have grown more rapidly. He fat
tened three yoke of large oxen and
one COW, all of which did full credit
to the green hay.
Not the least of the advantages of
this system, is the retention, to
greater degree, of the vitality of the
sward. All plants exhaust them
selves in the formation of seed
Grass is no exception to the rule.
Any one may have observed that
where grass is allowed to run to
seed for few years, it dies out more
than where it is cut or cropped be-
fore the seed is formed. Sward
which is moved in June, soon sends
up new growth, if the weather is
favorable, and when that is taken
off, the vigor Of the plants is shown,
even the succeeding season, in the
freshness and luxuriance of the
lerbage.
But this system cannot be univers-
lily adopted 1t is only practicable
where the land is pretty good quail
y, because it is only such land that
will produce two crops in year of
sufficient bulk to pay for moving
Where only ten or fifteen hundred
pounds of hay are annually obtained
o the acre, the point to be consider
ID is, when the grass reaches the
tage which will give the greatest
-alue in one crop of hay. There is,
owever, much land, and the guam
ity is constantly increasing from
he higher cultivation bestowed,-
n which the system might be prac-
ised with great advantage. Farm
rs need not wait for grass to lodge
own, on rich spots, thus iniuring
he quality Of the hay and smother
lg out the life of the roots; they
an NOW while all the grass is sweet
nd good, in the confident expecta-
on that the soil will produce all it
an, and that which is not obtained

lbsequent ones--Boston Cult;vator.

AN EPISODE AT VICKsBURG.-Lieutenan
Colonel Ii. c. Warmoth, Of General McCler-

the fight on the 22d ult., to about this effect:
Sergeant Joseph Grif.th, of Company 1, 22d
Iowa, took eleven men, and with them drove a
squad of rebels gunners from an earthwork.
and held it for some time. The rebels were
reinforced, and returning, killed the eleven
men, Griffath being knocked insensible to the
ground. The rebels occupied the the work
and continued to fire at our men. Just as
they all discharged their piecesGrifeth return
ed to consciousness, and seizing his musket,
Jumped to his feet and demanded that they
should surrender Their muskets being empty
and bis loaded, he forced them ten in number,
to comply. He made them lie down and stay
there until be found convenient opportunity
to march them within the Federal lines, which
he did with safety. Besides this, he killed one
Captain by shooting him, and knocked down
Two men with the stock of his musket
