CHEWING THE CUD.

Illuminating ANIMALS gather their food rap
idly, give it few cuts with The teeth, and
swallow it. It goes to an interior receptacle
where it is moistened this is very essential
If it be dry hay.
When the animal has filled himself, he
mastcates the food thus stored away in his
stomach, raising it cud by cud. When a por-
tion is completely mastcated it passes to an
other receptacle and the progress of digestion
goes on.
Thus. an OK, if left by himself, will raise
and masticate all his food thus stored away
in his stomach. Ii he be pushed and worked
hard and does not have time to masrcate;he
falls off in flesh, his health is poor, his dges
tioD is incomplete,
The horse, on the contrary, however much
in hurry he may be, must masticate each
mouthful before he swallows it. A hungry
OK let into meadow will fill himself in TWEEN
ty minutes, while horse would want al
least an hour and twenty minutes to take the
same amount Of grass.
The OK, deer, sheep, goat, chamois, and
rabit, being the natural prey of ferocious
beasts, are endowed with the extra stomach
in which hastily to store away the food with
out mastication; this may perhaps be regard
ed as wise provision of nature, enabling
them 10 sally forth where the food is plenty,
and in a short time fill themselves and retire
to place Of safety to ruminate their food at
their leisure.-DHTrOr and Farmer.

HAYMAKING.

There is annually so much good grass
merclessly manslaughered in making it in
to hay, that it becomes the duty of every
publisher, editor and agricultural writer in
the land. happening TO have q better practi
eel know ledge of haymaking, TO begin, with
the hay season, preaching as earnestly as
they can. at every opportunity, better prin
ciples until radical reform in much Of our
haymaking practice shall have been achieved
As clover usually comes first in the routine
of haying, and the season for putting mowers
Afeld is close at hand. let US bear in mind
that the best standing condition of clover is
when the plant itself is fully developed, and
the heads 10 full but early bloom, before any
considerable proportion of them have assumed
the slightest tinge of brown. Then instead
of being roasted, broiled and baked, in the
ecorchiDg sun until it Is as black as Japan tea,
As is too frequently the case with clover hay
the best plan is to cut after the dew is eff in
the morning, cure and spread in the swath,
as much as can be done in five or six hours
of clear drying weather, then twenty four
hours more ID small cocks, shelterlng from
dew aud rain, and haul IN and put ava, with
the leaves still green, wilted but not in the
least crispsd or bIackensd by the sun.
The other grasses are best cut when the
stalks and foliage have attained full growth
and the seeds are entirely developed, but
still in milky state. Like clover, they
should be cooked after a few hours sun cur
ing finished off in the cock, cured but not in
the least crisped, and hauled in while still
green in color, elastic and possessed of all the
inviting aroma Of "new mown hay" If the
foundations of bays and stacks are made up
well clear Of ground afiordng full and free
ventilation underneath, and then in stacking
or slowing away, layer Of clean straw, say
six inches in depth, is placed every two feet
between the courses Of hay, there will be no
danger Of clover or any other grass heating,
moulding or r0tting, though put away a
great deal greener than is general practice,
and infinitely better hay will be the result.
