hat friendliness with our labor here as else
where, is essential to the highest success.
But as soon las brought myself 10 the
household point of view, and took counsel
OF the family, and adopted the garden
into my care as something worthy of it, the
kitchen farm and the big farm got on well
together.
Charity, they say, should begin at home.
Methinks our farming should begin in the
garden, and get out of it only when the
household has ample provision made for its
own table. The garden, too, is the best of
schools, and find it rare that the farmer
steps from the good garden to the poor
farm. If | cannot get out of the garden,
had better not try the farm, but in prac-
tice one should not bar the other, but
assist. The order should not be from
the farm to to the garden, but rather
from the garden to the farm.-Cor. Scientific

THE GARDEN.


It is not uncommon to find the farm and
garden in conflict. The garden swallows
UP huge piles of manure-needed here. but
elsewhere urgently, and is always strug-
Cling to get the hired man into it's own in
closure. One hundred and fifty acres here,
one-half acre there, yet the half acre is
struggling for its rights. The wife will not
let her husband have peace in spring until
the garden plat is enriched and plowed, and
the seeds are in, and the weeds pulled-well,
it is spring and summers work. Mean
while, the farm without is on his mind, and
he wishes himself well rid of the garden, yet
knows its necessity, without the wife's in
sistance, yet allows her to insist, and yields
each time as though he, was doing her
favor.
The garden may be the greater farm, be-
cause it is the farm of the households; it in
tercsts the family; it makes talk. The man
has not his way, or any one else; it is q
thing of compromise. The farm is directed
by a single will; there is little or no inter
fcrence-perhaps not enough to save him
from feeling the burden to be on his shoul-
ders alone. He goes in and out, and no one
questions him. But when the garden time
is come, and is projected across his path
way, it seems an obstruction to his daily
habit, and the economy of method he count
ed upon yields to the necessities. lie
thought when the cattle were well out to
pasture, much of the chore time would be
at his disposal, and could be given up to
regular outdoor work upon the farm. But
no; the garden is further extension of
ehore time.
In order to conciliate ourselves fully to
the garden, or rather to the demands of it
upon our time and thoughts, we must, |
think, allow that its half acre is the most
profitable half acre on the place. Look for
q moment and see what any other half acre
does for us. In pasture it will not, proba-
bly,, carry one quarter Of COW through the
season. In moving it may give one ton Of
hay and if so, then say eleven weeks food
for a COW. If we reduce this to milk, and
consider the milk to be worth six cents q
quart, we have value of about thirty seven
dollars; not all profit, nor half Of it, but q
value of thirty-seyen dollars.
Now what does the garden? | cannot
figure it. 1t will largely support family
of nine persons more than half the year, ant
give them what it will cost much to buy
from the wagon or village market. 1t gives
what is relish for kings and queens. They
cannot possibly have better. The earth il
a kindly mother to all alike, who hole
the keys to her store chambers and know
the locks. 7a
Whether or no the garden gives us pleas
ure depends upon the place it occupies il
the farm economy, as likewise whether 0
no it gives profit. So long as T. held tn
garden at arms length, as something apar
from the tarm, and the manure and labo
put into it as SO MUCH stolen from the farm

TIME TO NOW HAY.
Farmer.

TIME TO NOW HAY.
The object had in view in harvesting
grass and clover for hay, is to get the largest
possible amount of nutriment in the most
convenient and available form, and in the
best condition. Much, of course, depends
upon the weather in regard to this matter,
but much also depends upon the exact stage
of growth at which the plant is cut The
end for which all plants exist seems to be to
propagate their own species. Hence. we
find them springing up, flourishing, produc-
ing seeds and then dying. During the per-
iod of active growth they are constantly EN-
gagged in receiving extraneous matter from
earth and air, and by decomposing, combin-
ing, arranging and assimilating, the str,,ct-
ure Of the plant is built up. The nature OF
the material of which plant is composed is
constantly undergoing change. The sugar
that abounds in the young and growing
plant, is largely changed during the ripen-
ing Of the seed into husk, bran and starch in
the grain, or woody fiber in the stalk. The
opening of the flower is the signal for a
change in the processes going on in the
plant; it has now reached its highest deyel-
opment of animal nutrition; henceforth. if
permitted to continue growing, this will
gradually decrease in quantity. The object
OF the hay-maker should be to seize on that
particular period in the plant when it COR
tains the largestamount Of nutrition. This
is generally at the time when the plant is in
full bloom, or at the very latest, when the
seed is in the milk state. Every hour the
grass or clover is allowed to stand otter it
has reached this point, is at the expense OF
its nutrition. Hay that has not been cut till
dead ripe is so hard and woody that it is but
little better, as a feed, than SO much brush.
