Measurement OF Hay.

We allow for timothy, red top, and SINH
lar grasses, $50 cubic feet to ton at the
bottom or lower half of a "bay." that ex-
tends from the floor to the barn beams,
and $50 cubic feet for a ton at the top or
upper half of such a bay, after it has lain
a few weeks and settled OF clover hay on
Il scaffuld it will take about GOO cubic feet
for ton after it has lain, say three months
1t will be seen that the average of the bay
full of red top and timothy, will not be far
from 800 cubic feet to the ton, varying of
course somewhat by the circumstances al
luded to-,hat is. the season, the time Of
cutting, the thoroughness with which it
was cured, the time it has settled, &c.
A little testimony on this point may not
he upinteresting at Ibis time. A farmer
in Uxbridge gives 400 feet in a nov TWEEN
" feet high. twenty feet long. and twenty
feet wide, as the lowest number of feet he
ever estimated. He says: I'm a scaffuld of
hay eleven and half feet square and nine
feet high. making 1.1904 solid or cubic feet
there was by actual weight 5.O76 pounds
of hay, or little over two tons and half
nf hay. The hay was upland interval. re-
sembling red top. This gives fraction
less than AGO cubic feet to the ton. Under
ordinary circumstances 500 solid feet of
well packed, not very close hay, is consid-
cred with us to be fair estimate of "A ton.
A farmer in West Euosbnrg, VT, says:
when there is large quantity together,
400 cubic feet will make ton, bnt where
only small quantity like a scaff"ld is
stored, it will take for ton not far from
800 cubic feet. 1t depends something on
the quality. but l am speaking of good
herdsgrass hay. l saw scatfnld measur
ed and weighed few days ago. 1t was
twenty-six feet long. eleven feet wide. and
nearly five feet high, making 1,43O cubic
feet. It. weighed $500 pounds, so you
must see it varied but frac ion of 500
feet to the ton"
A farmer in freeport, Me-, says. "For q
NOW forty feet long, sixteen feet wide, and
fourteen feet deep. well settled, the COM
mon estimate is 425 feet TO 500 cubic feet
to the ton. For some fifteen successive
years have pressed hay in my own barn
for NOW less than the above, and the av-
erage number Of feet required, including
tare, which is above five per cent, has
been 425 feet per ton.
1t will appear from these statements that
as general average rule, a cube of eight
feet will make ton of timothy, and we
should allow about a quarter more for clio
ver If there is considerable mixture of
clover. as there frequently is, the proper
allowance must be made for it, and it will
require the exercise of some judgment and
skill to get at it. So if the hay is very fine
and unusually solid, it will require less
number of feet to the ton.
Now to make calculation as to how
many head of cattle it will do 10 attempt
to Winter, farmers call it in the rough
about two tons to Il cow. and making al
lowance. of course, for other stock accord
ing to aye and size, and for other feeding
substances, like roots, &c. As a general
rule it is well to stock pretty well up to
your capacity. and if likely to come ii little
short, buy grain.

Wintering Cows.

An ordinary-Sized COW will eat abont 200
tricts of this State it is estimated that it
requires two tons of hay to winter COW.
Where hay is worth $50 per ton at the
barn. the expense of wintering Il herd Of
cows takes large slice cut IF the profits
of the dairy. But with us: while hay is
comparatively high, grain is cheap. and
cor, STALKS and straw abundant and ofgn"d
average quality. Cows also sell for an I'M
usually low price We do not advise those
of our readers similarly situated to buy
cows and winter them in hopes of making
a good thing out of it by selling them at a
high price in the spring. They may or
they may not make money by the opera
ton. But we think we are perfectly safe
in recommending those farmers who have
plenty of straw and stalks not to sell their
cows; and if they will need more cows next
summer we think they can buy now and
wint them over to good advantage.
A COW will eat say three bushels of chaff
ed hay per day. So far as ju'k is concern
ed, we must not vary much from this stand
ard. In our own case, however. we would
feed 81 bushels of cllaffed straw and stalks,
half u peck of bran, and half a peck Of
corn-meal per day. We think a COW can
be wintered better and with us) far cheap
er than on hay alone. you have plenty
of clover hay it may take the place of the
bran. But do not try to winter the cows
on straw and stalks alone. 1t is very poor
economy.-Anserican Aqricuhurist.

Resignation Of Representative Banks--

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.J
WASHINGTON, November 20.-Representa-
tive Banks will resign his position as chair
man of the House Committee on Foreign
Relations, thus relieving the Speaker from
reorganizing the committee with a new
chairman.
The President will begin to write his mes
sage tomorrow, from whicl, date be will be
forced to decline seeing visitors, excepting
prominent officials and those holding close
political relationship with the Administtl-
ton.
While il is absolutely certain that no one
has any intimation from the President con-
cerning the topics to be mentioned in his
message. there is nevertheless an idea, de.
rived principally from conversation with
him, that he Is strongly disposed to urge a
policy Of justice towards the South, which
the leading congressional supporters of the
Administration have hitherto made persistent
war upon. Opinions are divided as to
whether this new policy will be enlarged
upon in the forthcoming message or, later,
in the inaugural address. There will Of
course be q war upon any attempt to depart
from the present policy against the South
and if tho impressions that Grant does desire
q change are correct there will inevitably bt
a show of enmity towards 1t in the House
among the carpet-bag element and among
certain northern senators before the dawnipg
of Christmas. TIHoN.
