QUALITIES OF HAY.-Timothy for
muscle: clover for milk corn for fat
The timothy should be cured in full bios.
som, or little later. Clover should be
cut when first reddtnng, before it is fu'-
Iy matured. This s the time, and the
only time TO cut clover. Then all the
nutritive juices are in perfection. Such
hay-or grass cured-has slight laxa-
tive tendency-just what is wanted 10
winter. il will be greedily eaten, even
when somewhat touched with mould
and give milk in proIusion. This never
fails. On the other hard, timothy, in
stead of secreting milk, will form muscle
hence, the hay for horses an d hence
preferred SO generally. Straw, when
early cut and properly cured--not dried
has somewhat the quality of clover.
But oh, how neglectful we are about the
curing Of straw, when it is one of the
fines; of employments. There is fra.
GRANGE about such straw, and the pale
green tint, which make it a valuable and
most pleasant fodder
Timothy, then, for horses clover for
mich cows; and straw well cured and c
cut, for either. 1t is excellent 10 mix r.
with meal or feed carrots and beets with. o
We would, when thus fed, make but lit g
tie difference between good barley, or "
even DAT straw, when early and proper b
ly cured, and timothy for stock, especial y
ly cows in milk. For young stock, tend.
er timothy is excellent. We are too P
reckless in feeding. We feed promis- We
cuously--we feed what we have to feed 10
without taking much pains to get prop so
per selection, or to prepare it well. For co
instance, we feed few corn>stalks, raised un
on purpose for fodder, when yet this is tin
one OF the best hays that can be fed-and by
n the summer, in drought it is of the or
greatest advantage, fed out green.-Ru- for

CUTTING TMBER-Cut timber from pre-

You cut from March to June, and you enc
