HAY POORLY MADE.

Dr. Noeicker, in recent paper on hay
making, states that rain may fall for days on
newly cut grass II left untouched but that
when it has been repeatedly turned, causing
the crop to become more or less bruised, rain
washes out the sugar, gum and other soluble
matters and causes fermentation, which leads
to further Loss. For this reason, says the
Scottish Farmer, recently cut grass should not
be turned in showefy weather, more than is
absolutely necessary. and in all circumstances
the crop should be handled as lightly as pos
sible, so as TO avoid bruisiug the plants.
I'm order to subject the value Of hay which
had been damaged in the field by rain to a
practical test, some experiments were tried IN
feeding sheep with clover bay maze in wet
weather. and which had lain long on the
ground before it waa oarted and stacked. Ex-
periments made by Messrs. Lawos had shown
that sheep fed on well made hay alone grew
in weight, but in the course Of DR.. Noeicker's
experiments with bad hay--the experiments
being continued more than three months-the
animals lost weight. The results show the
folly ofsupylying animals with bad hay alone;
and slso that bad hay can be deteriorated by
rain, long keeping, and frequent turnings in
the field, to such an extent that any amount
which sheep will consume is not sufficient to
maintain their orr ( nal weight, while, with or
binary allowances, such as l IL pounds OF 2
pounds per day, the loss Of weight is conHd-
erable

The following treatment OF kicking COW
is recommended by c. l.. Hubs, of Oromoco,
Min, in letter 10 the New York Farmers
Club. First, tie her head then take rope
the size Of a clothes line, and place it around
the COW just back of the fore legs and tie
loosely then put in small stick now COM
mence milking, and when the COW kicks twist
up the rope, and renew the twisting process
every time she kicks. You will soon have it
tight enough SO that she cannot raise her
h nd foot more than four inches from the
ground when she stands quiet, loosen up
little. A few doses of this will cure a COW SO
well that she may be MIXED any where in the
yard without kicking.

WHY POTATOES YIRLD LESS THAN FORMER
LY.-A correspondent IN a late number of your
paper wishes to be told why the yield of po-
tatoes is less than formerly. The reason is not
difficult of discovery. 1t exists as a law ofna-
ture, embracing animal well as vegei able
organisms. These all throw off effete matter,
and this effete matter is hateful to the secre-
tory vessels on which vegetables depend for
thei Development. II many crops in success
sion, of the same vegetable, are grown, the
tfete matter increases in proportion to the nu.
tritve, and finally oveicomes all efforts at sue
cessful cultivation. The food decreases and
the poison increases, with every crop. lima
nure, general OF special, is added to the soil
it increases the food, but does not necessarily
diminish the poisonous eiIete matter. One
hundred yeara ago potatoes were but little cul-
tiyated, and most grounds were left IRE b for
their production. Then and long afterwai DIS

Now the increased taste for its use, and the

gree that invites destructive enemies to feed on
its substance--to take advantage OF its weak

and other ailments. Mother earth is a good
mother, but like her sex generally, she has a
taste for variety in outer adornments. She
will change her dress, even the most durable
of her fabrics-her forests. These are ever

CHANGE OLE SEEDS.

From the "Report Of an agricultural Tour
in Europe, by John II Klippsrt, Esq, recent
ly submitted to the Ohio State Board Of Ag-
riculture and published iu the late annual re-
port Of that body, we extract the following
/ made many inquiries and collected quite
a number Of items, facts, or at least supp sed
facts, in relation to the change Of farm crop
seeds, but as It would require entirely too
much spece to give the details or tenth part
Of them, must content myself by giving a
simple statement of the conclusions | arrived
at, based Of course upon the statements dtailed
Of course, upon the statements detailed to me.
1t appears that any farm crop as wheat, for
example, may be much improved by culture
on a farm with appropriate soil: but there is
a limit to the improvement of this variety,
which | will designate as variety A. on this
farm, which will designate as farm No l. af-
ter the limit Of improvement has been attained
on NJ. /, it will then, for a series Of years,
remain stationary. and after that even with
the best culture will deterorate But if, when
it has attained its limit on No ! and is then
transferred to a farm No. 2, then it will i'm
prove again on farm No. 2. etc. Whilst the
variety A is deteroroting on farm No. |, the
variety b, under proper treatment from farm
No. OF 8, will improve by the side Of it,
Hence, the German farmers have adopted a
system Of seed exchanges and are anxious to
obtain seeds from foreign countries. They
seem to have given this subject great deal of
attention, and take into account the kind of
soil, meteorology, and level above the sea
where the seeds were grown, and am in
clined to think they make Il point to obtain
good seeds from elevated regions grown on an
inferior soil. The exchanges are conducted
mostly by the local agricultural societies,
The Sonderhausen gncultural Association
have made many experiments in the exchange
of seeds, and now recommend, as the result
of their experience, that "seeds from good
rich soil to cold andi Indifferent one is pro-
ftable, and vlce UerSa."
