accomplish this. it is usually exposed. night
after night to heavy dcw-. and not untre-
q]ueutly To rains which greatly mjure the
appearance as well as quality of the hay.
The proper wav TO cure hay is to cut 1t
early in the morning. and spread 1t care
fully over the ground turning it up TO
the sun and wind once or twice during the
day. with a rake or fork.a mi hauling it
under shelter Just before night. It the
sun is bright, almost any hay viii be suf-
f]cjentIy cured in single day To- keep. aud
it will be bright In color. and much more
palatable 10 the stock, as we'll as more uu-
tricious than deadcuej by two or three
days exposure. In putting it away. ar
ran.emeut- should be made to spread the
cuttiug of each day over a covered NOV
or pen. to the depth of one or two feet.
and sprinkle salt freely over it. It Is
well to have two ar three pens for deposit
ing the hay. So that day cutting may lay
two or three days before more Is added to
f.. This prccaurion Is NOT necessary where
the grass IS mawu In the morning. and has

IheTn,
From the Rural Southerncr
We have esteemed it a somewhat re-
markable fact that Is has been mex to i'm
possible to keep in existence county agri-
cultural societies. But from an inyestisa-
ton Of the general manner Of condu!y1I
their meetings. we are led TO believe THAI
We can make plain the reasons why such
has been the case. There IS no want of
desire on the part Of farmers to encourage
and sustain an agricultural club in each
community. They evidence this by res
pondiug to the call for organizing such,
when made. But the secret ofthe failure
Is thatthe meetings, instead of being made
interesting TO the members, from want, Of
being properly conducted, are made bur
densOme, and the result Is that members
become indifferent to attendance on them.
There i no system or order observed.
Likely the first movement Is & gct Col. or

discourses on the politics of the day, blue
skies, crystal rivers. never getting near
enough to the subject of agriculture for
his pecch to catch the small Poz, if the
subject were infected with it.. 1t the next
meeting some member viii. perhaps. read
an essay of two hours length giving his
theoretical ideas. the cLeit result being to
weary his hearers. The third meeting Is
half attended, and at the fourth may be
found the officers and es7ayiscs for the oc-
casion.
