REMARKs.-We have always advocated
cutting hay early, and drying 1t less than is
the practice of many farmers. To properly
secure the hay crop is the most important
work the farmer is called upon to perform,
and the want of judgment and common
sense in conducting the labor causes the
most serious losses. 1t will not do to advise
farmers to follow Mr.. Larrabees method,
and yet we are certain it is safe, and the best
under proper conditions. During the dry, hot
days in July, when but little dew drenches the
grass in the morning, ii may be safely cut

dry weather, two thirds of the hay grown mp
on any farm may be placed in the NOW with
out cooking in the field and the quality be
much improved. Let farmers try some ap-
parently hazardous experiments in a small
way during the present season, in storing
partially cured hay, and they will learn some
most important and instructive facts.

WEIGHT OF WOMEN.

In a romance, even of this modern day,
we read constantly of heroes magnanimously
rushing off with fainting maidens from blaz-
ing houses, or more feloniously "carting"
them on their shoulders for purposes of re-
vengeful abduction. Let any one out OF
training, or under six feet high, and with pro-
portionate strength, attempt to run away
with fairly well-composed girl of eighteen
or twenty, and give us his opinion of the
prowess of these vaunted knights. A woman
weighing one hundred and forty pounds
weight of womanhood is not to be carried ut
all. Even II slight girl will weigh II hundred
pounds, and Rudolph or Horatio will stagger
under her lovely but cumbersome figure, if
he breaks out of staccato walk. There are
plenty of buXom girls who weigh up to n
hundred and seventy pounds, and it is not
given to every man to "hurry OFF, with such.

CURING HAY.

Dr. p. Simonton of Maine, in some re-
marks regarding the curing of hay divides
the process into three methods, us follows =
81. The old method, which originated in
the days of wooden ptchforks-'the more
drying the better all the leaves and seeds
dropped out and lost-all the fragrant aroma
and nutrient juices gone into the air forever.
This wooden pitchfork method, from all we
can see and learn, is the very poorest as it
is the one still most common in practice.

CUTTING AND CURING HAY.

At n late meeting of the Union Farmers
Club of Lenox, Madison Co., N. Y. the sub
ject of"Cutting and Curing Fodder was
considered From the report of the discus
sion, we make the following extracts:
Mr.. Ralph II. Avery recommended that
clover, especially the small be cut when
ABOUT ','ftis hlosse,ss have aapeas.l bx
not when wet, or when the dew is upon the
grass. When cut and little wilted | put it
in small cocks with fork, and there let it
remain several-say two or threc-days, and
then turn the cocks o'-er and stand n day or
two longer. If there has occurred Il shower
of rain in the time, the cocks being small, it
will dry out. Clover cured in this way re-
tains all the leaves and flavor, and will be
relished by any kind of stock. When fed in
winter to cows they will give nearly as much
milk as when at grass, and if kept in warm
stable, us they should be, for calves, colts,
sheep or horses, it is most excellent fodder
My rule for cutting timothy is when, and
JuSt When the first blossom has fallen and be-
fore any appearance of seed. Then cut after
the dew is off and grass dry. Cock up when
well wilted-not cured to dryness-open the
same an hour or so in the sun the next day,
and then draw in the barn, the barn to be a
snug one, with ventilation only through the
roof. keeping barn doors always closed, ex-
cept when obliged to be open while drawing
in the hay. 1fhay has no aoater in it, except
the juices in the grass, when cut, and is well
wilted, and has chance to sweat in the
cock, and is placed in n snug barn, have no
fear of its being burnt in the NOW or from
mould, but if cut early, and cured and stored
rs stated, am always sure of having hay
that my stock like; my cattle keep in fine
condition, hair bright and lively. In addi-
ton, believe timothy meadow cut thus
early, will retain thicker sod and improve,
whereas by not cutting the grass until the
seed is ripe, on some land the meadow will
run out and the sower be obliged to plow
and re-seed; but by following the system OF
moving thus early, and an occasional top
dressing of manure, meadow will improve
and be better from year to year. Medicinal
herbs, when cured so as to retain their aro-
ma and virtue as herbs, are always gathered
when in flower, and are never dried in the

sun. So grasses should be cut when in flow
er, and cured so as to retain that fine color
and flavor which every intelligent farmer
likes rs well as his stock does. Any farmer
who follows this practice and notices the re-
suit, will never again wait for grass to ripen
the seed before cutting, as is too often the
practice.
General Bruce thought early cut grass the
best, and in curing it the less sunshine and
the most air on it, the better and that it
should be cured before going into the barn.
In regard to young grass, he gave it as his
opinion that cows liked it the best, and that
it brought more milk.
The discussion having closed, the question
of early, medium or late cutting of grass,
&c, was put to vote, when the question
was decided in favor of early cutting by a
large majority, a few being in favor of me-
dunn, while none were in favor of late.
At meeting of the Guilford (Chenango
CO., n. W Farmers Club, June 10th, the
same subject was discussed.
Mr.. VIM. Jewell stated that in the absence
of his personal attention in the securing of
his last hay crop he had suffered largely, apd
his stock stillSworsc, ana tnat in ;KN futr1e
this must be attended to if much else is neg
lected and asked what the amount would be
lost in Guilford if the hay crop suffered in
value three or four dollars per ton, in being
cut too late or improperly secured? He says
it must be cut early.
Mr.. Edward Jewell said he wanted his
hay to be put in early, and in manner that
it would heat and press together firmly with
out any water upon it, OF but little sun, and
then close the barn and exclude the air as
much as possible. In this the Chair agreed
with him.
Mr. Ii. A. Burlison also agreed that it
must be cut early, hut would like all cooked
one night in the field before putting in the
barn. He also urged the use of the hay ted
der, and thought its use added materially to
the worth of every ton of hay, as its drying
was more equal and more dried by the air
than by long continued rays of the sun,-no
one disagreeng with him in this respect All
spoke highly of the tedder who had used it,
Messrs Moore and Rood thought it II good
time to cut grass late in the afternoon that il
might be secured earlier the next day, as
there would then be no dew on the grass or
under on the ground, and if it rained the
next day it would not be hayed to hurt it,
and many times escape showers thereby.

NEWPORT, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1871.

Raking up and spreading out, over and over
again, even in good weather, is about the
idea of this over-drying method.
''2. Let the grass be sufficiently dried to
remove all external moisture, and to wilt it
well,-such rs well stirring it in one days
sun will do; then put it in small punches
till the interior of the piles feels slightly
warm; then for one day to be spread out and
tended us during the first day, when, if the
grass is reasonably ripe, and the weather toll
erably good, it is fit for the barn. Two great
advantages result from this method over the
first; less labor, and saving the most valua-
bic part of the hay,-the leaves, seed, and
juices, which are largely lost in the other.
"3. When every particle of dew and all
other outward dampness are off the grass
NOW, and put it as soon rs possible, without
stopping for it to wilt,-certainly before any
moisture comes upon it,-where it is to re-
main in the barn. When it is all in or when
for any reason the work is suspended for a
few days, cover the top of the hay with n
foot of straw or other cheap material. 1t is
clpimcI for this method that it lie II great saw
ing "a. Cnc and laborf and that every\ \valu-
able property of the hay is saved; especially
its juices, 50 nourishing and so relshable to
the stock, and which serve rs II natural pick
lie to preserve the hay. In a few days the
hay heats and ferments, causing II dense
steam to rise to, and lodge in, the upper foot
of the heap, spelling it; hence the use of the
straw, to receive the steam and save so much
hay.
"Last year many of the agricultural publ
cations spoke of this new (No. 3) method,
and advised II trial of it. But we do not so
much allude to it here for that reason-for
there is no absurdity so great that it does not
have powerful advocates somewhere; the
famous Farmers Club of New York city,
which so often sends out, through the Irib-
une, its wordy-wise and often ridiculous adj
vice and instruction, being composed, it is
said of doctors without patients, lawyers
ishes, but because it was last year tried in
this locality, the results of which trial, if
known, may lead to future profit. And the
person who has tested the thing, who is a
practical and intelligent farmer, has kindly
furnished the following for publication
"Dr. p. SIMONTON.-Dear Sir: In reply
to your inquiries respecting my experience in
putting hay green into the barn, will state
that early in last haying season, before the
grass was fully ripe, one morning, beginning
at nine O'Clock, the grass being perfectly free
from dew and all outward moisture,
moved, by machine, two tons of grass, which
with the help of two boys | put npon the
scaifold in my barn by two o'clock the same
afternoon. That was all did to it. L. went
through process of heat and sweating which
caused the upper layer, perhaps 10 or IL inch
es thick, to spoil for eating purposes. All be-
low this proved excellent hay; some of the
leaves turned dark, but nearly all the useful
parts which are lost by the drying method

STORM iNDICAT0Rs.-A on Humboldt
was the first 70 direct attention TO the deli
cate, NATURALIZATION groups Of cloud;
and clo1d strie, and to describe them un,
der the name of polar bands. Over North
west Germany polar bands extend from
south to north and also from scuth-sOuth
east to n0rth-northwest, then change slowly
into the position from s3uth-southwest TO
north northeast, and not Unirenquetiy the
vanishing points move still further to the
east aud west points. To the author Of
the "a Cosmos" no relation seemed likely
between the poplar bands and the upper
currents of air. He says. And | can
not aseribe the progress (of these vanish
ing points, to the change in the current
in the highest regions of the atmosphere.
When such polar bands appear over
Europe the telegraphic weather reports at
present make It possible TO compare the
simultaneous condition of the atmosphere
over the whole of Europe. By this COM
parison | have found that al area of
storm, even If still far distant, Is stimuli
taneously present in all cases where deci-
ded polar bands and their vanishing
points in the horizon are shown. The
polar bands are present then on the ex-
treme limits of the storm area, and have a
tagnetal direction to its limiting line.
Whilst the weather Is still quiet and beau
tiful in the lower regions of the atmos-
pheric ocean, the polar bands already In
dicate the currents Of air in the higher
strata. The gradual change to eastward
of the vanishing points Of the bands point
ing north and south in the consequence of
the progress of the center Of the storm.
When the latter moves from the west over
the Atlantic ocean towards Holland) the
polar bands have the direction from south
to north at the first approach of the storm
area if the center of the storm and the
bands themselves advance toward the north
east. and also the apparent direction of the
latter alters in 4 corresponding manner,
and since they are at right angles to line
drawn toward the storm center. they show

A Sermon for LAWYERS

Rev. f. D. Hale, in a recent address,
preached TO the lawyers as follows:
| hope the American lawyer understands
the same truth that unless he deals with
infinite value his porfession Is a handi
craft, and his duty a job Unless he
deals with Justice, pure as heaven-unless
he deals with truth, virgin as truth was
born-there is for him no eTmIne. These
States, in our organization of society, have
given to men of his calling distinguished
position, have shielded them by privileges
else wholly unknown; they are exempt
from many of the burdens of another life
and see open to them its highest honors.
This is because they are pledged in their
very training, and by their Oaths of office
are sworn to obtain justice for all men
and for the State. The American lawyer
ought not TO forget the traditions of his
profession. The Templars Of England,
through whose hands come down to him
the methods of the past, are the direct de-
scendants of Templars bound to the ser
vice of chivalry. The only fee which he
receives is in the form OF an h0nOrarium,'
not the pay for service.
The service is the unbought service OF

his profession. with the same determine

born in the purple, who has smiles and
honors and gold for her minions? He
does his best, be it for the one or the other;
ferrets out conspiracy; seizes truth, th ugh

moment that the American lawyer abandons
his position, the moment he sells justice,
