while in the other the stalks are cut out
of season, badly put up, tipped over by
winds or by their weight. and drenched
blackened and rotted by long rains. Who
can expect his cattle to eat and thrive on
this ncipient manure
The season is now approaching when
farmers should give especial attention to
this subject Those who are about to cut
their wheat, should remember that if har-
vested before the heads droop and become
fully ripe, or while in the dough state, the
tips of the chaf being yet green the grain
is better and even heavier the straw, If
well dried, is brighter and more valuable
for feeding. Therefore, cut early, secure
in good, we'll protected shocks, until fully
dry, and place the straw when thrashed,
either under a roof, or else in as well built
stacks as are deemed requisite for hay
Hay should be we'll and EVENLY dried
not in Jumps or lunches, or in badly
dried cocks, where it becomes yellow and
sour. A good hay tedder, run by two
horses, however valuable it may prove in
expediting work, and saving labor in
lodging stones, will doubtless be found
still more valuable in consequence of the
perfection of the hay it will enable the
farmer to manufacture.
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1865-08-10
CARE WITH STRAW AND FODDER.

\ great deal of discussion has occurred
of late years as to the comparative value
of straw, constalks, hay, &c The divers
ity Of views, which is obvious, is no doubt
owing largely to the imperfect manner in
which these different substances are cured
and preserved. One farmer, for example,
finds the use of straw of great value, keep
ing his cattle and other domestic animals
in excellent condition, with very little
grain or meal Another denounccs it as
nearly worthless, as his bony cattle abund-
antly Indicate On further examination
we find that the first has taken much pains
to secure his straw in the best order--the
other has neglected it, allowed it to become
wet, musty and unpalatable. The same
result has taken place with clover hay
one man has 1t fresh, green and excellent :;
with another it is black, tasteless. or re-
pulsive, having been washed by rains or
become mouldy by partial driving. The
same difference exists with corn-fodder
resulting i'll one instance from timely
cutting, and securing i'll stiff, erect shocks
