Hay-Making.

If we can, we NOW with machine in
the afternoon and evening, and the next
day never touch it until say eleven
O'Clock, then, if the sun has been or is
hot, rake it up into wide, loose windows,
which it may be well to shake up, or at
least to turn over, and look for wet locks
past three O'Clock. Then, either get it in,
good time to cure evenly, before it is
placed in the NOW or the stack, as it
should be before noon the next day.

ever he could, until he proved to my sat
isfaction that hay cured in this way was
just as green, sweet and evenly cured, as
that with which l took the most pains.
He had learned the practice on the light
lands of Central New Jersey, but l find
that my neighbors follow quite similar
plan, except that they do not often NOW
the evening before. This is a great ad-
vantage, because the dew all lies upon the
surface of the mown grass, fully exposed
to the sun; and it is almost always dried
off by nine O'Clock. The only precaution
to be observed, is to cut after the dew be-
gins to fall-Or at least after the sun
ceases to exert any drying influence. 1t
is better if the grass does not even wilt be-
fore morning, for then it dries much
brighter and evener.
In dull weather, or what is worse, al
ternate sunshine and showers, my neig
bors let the hay lie just as it was cut.
The top bleaches, but the great bulk OF it
remains OF a fair color, aud cures verv
fast afterward. If the hay is any way fit
to rake up, prefer to get it into wind
rows, or even into cocks, to stand out the
rain. There is danger of heating during
long storms, but it must be watched. -

A FiVe.POund Dwarf.

One OF the most remarkable human
beings ever seen in this country, or per-
haps in any other, arrived in this city
last week, and is stopping at the ST.

from Mexico, and unknown to the Ameri.
can public. This child, Lucia Zarate,
was born at Vera Cruz, and is said to be
twelve years old. She is twenty inches
nigh, and is said to weigh scarcely more
than five pounds. Imagine French doll
walking and talking to you and some
idea OF her appearance can be had
Standing on a parlor floor her head
reaches about to the seat of an ordinary
chair, and yet her limbs and body are in
all respects we'll proportional. Mrs
Belknap could get no more than one toe
of her foot into the Mexican girls shoe
Her head, about as big as mans fist
is we'll shaped and covered with soft
brown hair. The only thing out o.
line with her size is her nose; that was
evidently made for larger girl, but it will
do. She has bright, black eyes, and is
in the language of her parents. She
enjoyed her little lite, and salutes and
bids adieu to her guests with evident pro
priety. In the way Of Joke she Offered
to carry fat reporter on her back. ant
STOPPING over asked him to climb upon
her shoulders. The little midget will as
tonish anyone who sees her, because she
is so tiny and SO human. Stanuing by
the side of Tom Thumb she would reach
his elbow, and the General would look
like on overgrown and bloated aristocrat

Soak Your Butter Packages.

HAVE noticed constantly the habit of
dairymen of packing their butter ipto new
butter packages without being soaked.
This is the greatest mistake that dairy
men can make in packing butter. The
packages which are new, unless soaked,
impart the flavor of the wood in the but
ter which is readily detected and depre-
GATES the quality and price from two
cents to five cents per pound. ] have
seen butter which has come to this market
which knew had been made by good
and experienced butter makers and was
really fine when packed, deprecated, as
heretofore said, from two cents to five
cents per pound by carelessness in not
soaking the packages.
Now, it is to the interest Of all butter max
ers to make good butter, and have it come
in sweet, good condition, which will bring
good prices.
Dairymen have often wondered why
their butter did not bring good prices.
They say our butter was fine, and refer to
their neighbors to verify their statement!
This may all be true; but do they ever
ask: Did our butter arrive in good condi-
tion-was it sweet? etc. No; they never
ask this question, but pack their butter in
packages without the necessary prepare
tions, and send it off to market in hurry,
and look for top market prices.
Now we advise all dairymen to soak
their packages at least twenty -four hours
before packing their butter. Frank James,
