HAVING.

HAVING.
Every farmer is not good hay
maker, although it would seem
that anybody, knowing anything
about farming, ought to be able
to get his hay into the barn or
stack in good condition if the
weather be favorable; but such is
not the case. In the first place,
q farmer should be fully prepared
for haying before he commences.
Every Implement wanted should
be procured, and be in good con-
dition; and when a farmer has
much grass to cut it would be well
to have an extra moving machine
to fall back on, in case of break
age. All the art there is in max
ing good hay is to have good
judgment, and energy enough to
drive the business when the wealth
er is favorable. Two men may
commence to cut two fields of
grass the same morning, each
field exactly alike, each man hav-
ing the same kind of machine and
the same number of hands, and
one will have all his hay in next
day at sunset, cured in excellent
condition, while the other will
fail to ':push things"' and will not
have his hay cured the next after
noon, leaving it perhaps in the
windrow. and a rain coming on
the mkt day, lasting "a hours. his
hay is nearly ruined. The best
advice I can give to farmers, in
regard to making hay, is to take
advantage of good weather, and
let every man and boy in your en-
ploy understand that you "mean
business" 1t will not do to wait
till all your grasses are fully ripe
for the machine; but commence
on that which is most advanced.
The grass will require more cur
ing, but it will be better hay for
being cut early. The best timo-
thy hay that I ever fed to stock
was cut two weeks in advance OF
the usual time.
SUMMER CARE OF HOGS
A Western swine raiser says
"For the past three years I have
been very lucky with hogs. Have
a pasture of about 25 acres, moi
much grass, but plenty of young
oaks, hickories and hazel brush
with plenty of running water.
keep salt and sulphur in . trough
where they can help themselves
| Nth q milo of charcOaI and IL vii
surprise those who have not tried
it to see them eat it after every
feed os corn" Probably a field o
clover, with running water IN it
would be the best pasture thai
hogs can be kept in. Parsnips art
the best roots that can be grown
for swine. They eat them eagerly
raw, and many farmers grow then
especially to feed to their hogs.
