HAY AS A FEED. Corn-stalks are difficult to
keep; straw must be cut or scalded to be of bene-
fit roots must be managed; and much labor is re-
quired for all this-and, ut best, you have not re-
liable fodder, a Observation-Disclosures for stock. But
YOU have it in hay, not the ripe bleached article
that we find so much. This is worse than good
straw or corn-stalks. But the hay that is grass
cured, such rs we now and then find, and once
finding, never miss it there; this is wanted. Here
is something fresh and sweet and nutritious. con-
tanning all the elements necessary to growth and
the production of butter and cheese and these of
better quality and of equal or superior quality to
anything that is commonly produced. We say it is

the good, bright looks of the cattle, their great, full
free breaths smelling of summer; the hide is mobile

stock of all kinds, especially the colts and the

nothing perhaps equals it; hence, just the thing
for Young growing animals, which need not fat but
muscle, bone, etc.
We have seen this fully demonstrated. We have
seen this hay, particularly clover, out of the

ton of the animals, and this continued during the
winter, and in the spring large supplies OF butter
