There was scarcely ever wedding, religious

people in our ncighborhoOd. but that Jim Arm

with everybody. stranger seeing Jim at a
religious meeting, and hearing him sing, would
have supposed that he was very religious; but
jim's morals were not the best. He could sing
all day withouta hymn book. believe he knew
by heart all the hymns in use at that day. He
had clear, musical voice. saw him OF wed

lady present who had been long time sick, and
it was apparent that she was not long for this
world. J i'm commenced conyersiug with her,
and soon commenced singing, in plaintive
manner, that beautiful hymn commencing,
''Wby should We start and fear to die7"
AS his clear voice, indicating the emotion he
felt, uttered the words,
''The pains-the groans-the dying strife.
Fright our approaching souls away"
that merry crowd of young folks was awed into
respectful silence, and attentivey listened until
he had concluded.
In August 1S4O, the first camp meeting was
held near Gross Roads, Jim was there all the

Loss in Stacking Hay.

A farmer of sound judgment, and
large experience in cutting and stor-
ing hay, estimates his own loss in
stacking al twenty-five per cent. He
cuts probably hundred tons year,
and stacks fifth part of it for want
of barn room. He has very properly
made mp his mind to build new
barn. We think his estimate is not
wide from the mark. There is a
large loss from moulding at the bot
tom of the stack, and old rails,
boards, or straw, will not wholly
prevent il. Then the whole external
surface for three or four inches il
weather-beaten, and loses much ol
Its sweetness; and it is not improb-
able that this loss of aroma extends
through the whole stack.
The conviction is universal among
intelligent men that barn stored ha,
is =orth much more than that which
is taken from the stack. Why then
follow this wasteful practice? Look
at the loss of the farmer who cnts
one hundred tons of hay worth $4,000
According to his own estimate he
pays 500 year for the privilege OF
stacking One.fifth of his crop. This
is but a small part of the loss where
the hay is fed out of the stack. Ii
costs at least a third more hay &c
keep cattle without shelter. Taese
are strong arguments for more barn
room.

Time for Cutting Grass.

As a general rule, the weather
from the Both of June to the Goth o
July, is favorable for cutting and
curing the crop. After the latter
period, showers are apt to prevail
which not only Injuries the hay, but
greatly increases the labor of curing
it. All of our English grasses ma
ture before that time, and if left
standing longer, decrease in value.
Clover should be cut when in bloom
and herds grass is considered ripe
for the scythe at little later period
in its growth at a time little past
the full bloom, when the seed is
formed but is still soft, or in a
doughty state. Hay cut at the peri.
DDS indicated, will possess and retain
all its nutritive qualities. 1t would
not scatter disease and death among
the flocks, nor would cows grow poor
and scant in milk were they fed upon
it.
Grass is the natural food of our
horses, cattle and sheep, and the
nearer the hay we feed them with,
in winter, approsches to it, the more
it will nourish them.
Let plans be made to commence
haying early. In bulk not quite as
much may be secured, but in value
much more. The stem will then be
green and juicy, which, if left until
the blow disappears, becomes dry
like grass. Ii makes valuable hay if
cut in season and properly cured,
and the droppings from the animals
fed upon it make the very richest OF
fertilizers.
Weknow that with our late springs,
it is difficult to get through hoeing
before the first of July, and that
many farmers dislike TO meddle with
haying until that job is finished; but
we think they would find an advan-
tage in commencing haying earlier
than is the general custom, and fin
ish up their hoeing during the dull
weather when it would not be pru
dent To NOV.
Our hay crop is the most profita-
BILE one we raise, and no other crop
should he allowed to stand i'm the
way of securing it at the proper mo-
nent.-Me Peoiie.
