Green Grass Makes the Best Hay.

There is probably no part of the far
mer's labor that requires the exercise of
grea ter judgment than this. since upon
\ its successful accomplishmentdepends the
condition and welfare of.his stock. There
is no one but what has notic'd with
what avidity the herd viii devour the
richly perfutned, we'll cured hay, and
with what relish they attempt to sus-
tain life perhaps by eating musty. un-
savory fodder Now it is not question,
whether hay can be cut too early from this
fact, that it is generally considered that
the aftermath or rowen is the best hay
that can be given TO milk cows, increas-
ing the flow Of milk considerably moro
than the hay from mature grass. It is
said that in some portions of Switzer-
land where the fields are irrigated, as
many as six or seven tons of hay aros
cut from an acre By cutting as many
times, which is, as scon as the grass has
fair growth, aud long before it even arr
rlves at sEis period of blooming. One
thing is certain, that cattle when left to
roam the pastures aud select their own
ioou, III otedo VI ScicCtilS the more Hlae
ture portions as their choice, invariably
choose the younger and more succulent,
so that, In time, the pasture presents the
singular appearance Of being covered in
parts with ma;ured hay aud Others close
ly grazad nor is this peculiar 10 cattle
alone ,siase the same desire regyasaas the
horse and sheep kind. So. then the de-.
sire of animals so far as it an be express
ed seems to favor oung osth. Another
fact, too. is frequently noticed, in the
falling off 0 flesh. in the change from
the pasture TO the stable and gice osrca,
aud again 10 the fall faften ina of stock
by pasture alone. which tie most success
full farmer would little think of doing by
feed ing ofhay. Now al. of this would
seem to point to the necessity almost,
to say thing Of the advah tage OF cut
ting hay while young and tender. If
any have doubts, lettheln place a quanti-
ty of both kinds before their animals.
and they ill soon find that the youngest
hay, if properly cnred vii! be the first to
disappear. ", r. Y. ~ N, f. Far

Timing out Of Fruit.

Il is ruinous to young fruit trees of
any kind TO produce even q moderate
crop of fruit when the stem and branches
are growing luxuriantly. Some varie~
ties ofpear trees and apple trees are such
prolific bearers, that every taig will be !.
literally weighed down With fFa;s before
it has attained one-fourth part of its
growth, unless the young fruit is thirel
out. The beautiful growth and de-
velopmens of young fruit trees is Of far
greater value than heavy burden of
fruit on small tree. A young fruit
tree cannot grow satisfactorily making
strong branches and large buds, when
every fruit-spur has put out three or more
specimens to be matured. If young
tree is flowed 10 mature bountiful crop
of fruit, the wood growth will be small
and weakly, apd the vigor Of the tree
will be SO seriously impaired, that the
next season the development of the
branches will be more feeble than ever
and the productiveaess of the tree will be
injured to such an extent, that it will not
recover its wonted vgor ip several years,
even if no fruit is permitted. Every.
young fruit tree should be examined with
care during the former part of the grow
ing season; and only small quantity of
fru it should be permitted to mature.
The most expeditions way to thin CIT
fruit is to provide small bench or two
to stand on, and a step ladder, so that
one can reach the branches w ithouk in.
juring the twigs, by placing the ladder
against any part of the tree-top. Then,
with pair Of sharp scissors, sever the !.
stems of the clusters Of fruit, leaving Only
ole specimen on each spur. If the fruit
is not Timed it glll be small. IL only
one specimen is left On each spur. the
small quantity that is permitted to mature
will be large and fae Trees that are
three and four years old. should not be
permitted to mature mere than three OF
four specimens of frait.

A shrewd case of false pretences was

A shrewd case of false pretences was
developed in England latterly N the
means adopted by an elderly Eng lisb--
man. who was bankrupt, but who still
enjoyed the reputation of being rich
man, to live at peace with himself and
the world without any expense to him
self. He made W i'll. in which he de-
vised large sums to various friends, rela-
tives, and charitable institutions. Tho
grateful bene6ciaries thereupon quarrelled
for the privilege of entertaining him as
an honored guest at their houses. The
old gentleman lived like prince, first with
one and then with the other. His death
occurred the other day, when the true
condition of his wor Idly affairs was dis-
covered, and much profane comment on
