AGRICULTURAL. A

CUTTING GRASS AND CURING HAY
There is scarcely any work on the farm
of more importance than the proper cur
ing of hay, and as there are variety of
opinions on the subject of the proper
time for cutting grass, and also regard
ing the manner of curing hay, we pre-
sent few facts connected with these
subjects.
We learn from the Nc,c England
Farmer that in 1856 the Secretary of
the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture
addressed series of inquiries on the
hay crop to one or more farmers in each
town in the State, and this question was
asked, among others:
cat what stage of growth do you pre-
fer to cut grass, to make it into hay
Answers were received from more than
two hundred towns, and those from ole
hundred and fifty towns, about three
fourths of the whole, majority sufficient
to overcome any veto, were in favor of
cutting timothy and red top when in full
bloom'
As red clover and timothy do not ma
ture at the same time, 1T is considered by
many intelligent farmers that first-rate
quality of hay cannot be obtained from
t ese two plants in conjunction, the clo-
yer being too ripe fYr>hay before the tim
othy has arrived at litsAh Ahighest state of
utility, for that purpase. It is probable
that the aslike clover viii supersede red
clover as a meadow plant, as it ripens at
the same time as timothy, and is fit for
the mower when timothy has arrived at
the proper stage of its growth to make
nutritious hay.
Although the general opini is that
timothy ought to be cut when in full
bloom, the cause of this opinion proba-
bly, is not that it makes the best hay
when cut at this stage, but if allowed to
stand longer the clover becomes dry and
worthless.
It is SAID that timothy cut green is not
SO palatable to stock as that made from
the same variety of grass cut after the
seed have been fully formed, aud SO
ripened as to shell little when being
housed or stacked. A farmer in Seneca,
New York, cut some Of his timothy
before the blossoms had fallen off, It
was properly cured and placed apart in q
NOW BY itself. After harvest portion
Of the timothy which had been left
standing, was cut and harvested. In
this the seed was ripe and shelled con-
siderably in the moving. the hay. In
winter AZ experiment vas made ii order
to ascertain which of the samples would
be most relished by cattle. q portion Of
the green hay was given to the cattle,
and after they had been feeding on It for
short time, some of the hay which had
been cut after harvest, and in which the
seed had ripened, was given to them,
and they Immediately stopped eating the
geeen hay and commenced at that which
was ripe. The trial was made several
times, and always with similar result.
Notwithstanding the results 81 this
experiment, it IS well known that whom

The Pacific Railroad Completed.

The Great labor is completed, and 1t is now
possible to traverse by rail the whole breadth
| of the Continent The last rail was laid and
the last spike driven in The Pacific Railroad
Monday at 2:20 p. NJ, of our time---at 10 NJ,
where the Union of she two roads was per
frcted.
A few statistics will show what has bepn ac-
tually accomplished. The Union Pacific be-
gan ITS work in 1865, after cncountering and
overcoming many financial obstacles In that
year it laid but forty miles OF track in 1866,
PCS miles in 1867, 245 in 1863, 42J; in 1868,
1052in all 1,0S0 miles, the distance between
It's termini at Omaha and Ogden. The Cen.
/ tral Pacific began its work In 1893, and within
less than a year from the time Of its charter
| The material for the road-that Is, all the iron
locomotives, &c.,-had to be shipped 1G,O0C
miles The company had also TO encounter all
the difficulties of mountainous region with
in few leagues of its starting point 1t bull
/ fewer miles than the Eastern Division, but i
also had TO overcome greater obstacles. Yc
1t built in 1868, twenty miles of road; in 1864
twenty in 1865, twenty in 1866, thirty il
1867, forty.six 1868, 3GJ in 1869, 100 in al

DEATH FROM CANCER.--A Lansing
correspondent of the Jackson Citizen
gives the following details of the death
of a little girl from cancer. 1t is sin
gular case and a sad one.
"Nine months ago the daughter of a
Mr.. Collins, who lives mean Lensing,
Mich, was suddenly afflicted with Il
toothache, and dispite all efforts at RENE
dy, the evil increased, until one night
the little one awoke with piercing
scream, holding the bad tooth in her
hand. The pain contin ied, however,
and, looking from the cavity in the gum,
a swelling, looking like large boil, ap-
peared there, the thing having grown
until it had pushed the tooth out of the
shcket. From that time the swelling
gradually but surely increased in size
Medical examination showed it to be n
cancer, and every effort, by lance or
otherwise to prevent its growth has been
unavailing. Some time since the little
oIe's mouth was so nearly filled with it
that she had to push her food to her
throat with her fiugers, and few days
since, the air pipes being closed by the
aboninable excrescence, she smothered
