Well Cured Hay.

Every man who has occasion to rear
live stock knows that much of the hay
sold in the market is nothing more or
less than dried grass sometimes grass
that has dried upon its roots. before being
cut with the scythe. Cattle and horses know
the difference between this "fodjcr"-
this .rass straw-and real well cured hay,

difference between wood that is simply
dead aud dozy, and that which is sound
and seasoned. The best wood is that
which is cut green and is so seasoned

So Of hay that worthy the name is cut
when the grass is alive but still maturcd,
and cured so as to preserve all the nutrl
tous clements contained in the juices OF
the stock the leaf and the flower.
The New Bedford ucrcury speaks of
the system adopted by Gen.Thompson Of
that city and as its remarks are timely
and may afford valuable practical hints
to some Of cur farmer friends, We copy
them into our columns. General Thomp-
son, says the Mcycury was led to expert
ment, and finally to adopt his system, by
seeing how herbs are cured for family use.

barn. or course il The day is not Il good
one, the hay is cooked, and left till the
next good day. Nothing is done to pre-
vent heating, although salt, about four
quarts to the ton is sometimes thrown
over it, from the idea that cattle will
better relish it. Often no salt is used
and the General does not consider its nse
At all essential. This is the simple pro-
cess. The result is that in the Spring of

Gen. ThompSon's method, because its cx-

In note to the Boston Cultirator, at

son says,

And gives the creates. pain.

Blighting, biting, trying, pryips,
Seeking spot and stain,
These are the sure and rapid signs,
OF scandal on the brain.
There's Miss Ftz Pray, the dear good soul
She never thinks of self;
But keeps q record of her friends,
Quito handy on the shelf!
And when she's nothing clso to do,
She takes the volume down,
And enters all the scraps and bits
Of gossip round the town. Cue.
Some people dress and 90 to church,
With faces long and prim;
And mcckiy say their morning prayers,
And sing the Sunday hymn!
But just as soon church is out,
Some shady nook they gain,
To ease their minds, and treat their friends

GEN. HooKER's CAMrAIGN--Thc COM
mittee on the Conduct Of the War, thus
account for the failure OF Gen. Hooker 5
campaign when in command Of the Army
OF the Potomac;
1T would appear from the testimony
that there were three causes. perhaps
four, which contributed much to render
the campaign unsuccessful after it had
been so successfully begun. Those cause
es were, The stampede Of the lth corps
on the lst of May, by which the enemy
were enabled to obtain possession Of the
ground which commands the position Of
the Union army at Charlottesville then
the injury which Gen. Hooker sustained
on the morning Of the third of May, by
which the army was deprived of the di-
rection which was necessary at that time !;
then the failure Of Gen. Scdgwick to cas-
ry out the orders he had received to fall
upon the rear Of Lees forces early ON the
morning Of the Sd ; and the entire failure
Of the cavalry, under Gen. Stoncman, to
perform the part assigned to it, the sever
ing Of Lees communications with Rieh-
mond."
1t seems that General SeIswick was
ordered to make an assault upon the en-
emy at daybreak on the 81 OF May, but
he moved so slowly that the attack was
not made till IL o'clock. The commit
tee say that the charge that Gen, Hooker
