Haying.

The very unlavorable weather of thu
the last few weeks will put back the cut
ting of grass very materially, for we have
to conform to the old adage to make hay
when the sun shines, if we make it at all
There must be n good deal of grass which
must stand till over-ripe before it can be
cut, as the season is so forward, and the
grass SO ripe and so little cut. Every rod
of our grass is now fit to cut, the herds
grass being in full bloom, and some
pieces on dry, warm locations past that.
Now is one of the times we spoke of a
week or two since-when farm machinery
pays. We had down piece of our
heaviest grass yesterday, which it would
ordinarily take two days OF good weather
to make. At about ten o'clock signs of
foul weather began TO be observed, so we
put on the tedder, and again went over it
after dinner, and when at four o'clock it
was all clouded over and storm was
threatening, with thunder heard in the dis
lance, it was dry enough to put in the
cock and had the sun kept out till that
time would have been fit to put in the
barn. Then we put on our CLEANER horse
rake, and in half an hour, and before a
drop of rain had come, we had seventy
five large cocks in good shape for the
night and shower. Before this another
light piece was raked in nice order. as
clean as though hand rakes had been used.
and three good loads were safe in the
barn AT such time good machinery for
the hay field pays.

the contrary, are sure indications that he
is not there. | will observe that the
gathering of the withered fruit in Yer.
mont would probably always need to be
in the month of July, and to do good must
always be before the exit of the worm. II
this is not done cloths laid in the crotcbes
of the branches to shelter the worms, and
entice them to build their cocoons, wisps
of hay or straw wound round the trees
folded or twisted paper bands put around
the trees, or any attachment that will afford
shelter to the worm and entice him to spin
his cocoon, in such IL way that it can be
destroyed, is beneficial. These bands or
cloths, after the cocoons are formed should
be burned, so as to make the destruction
sure.
They should first be placed about the
trees about one month after the tree is fnll
in blossom, and from this time to the time
the apples are picked they should be kept
in order, being examined every week. and
if cocoons are found they should be at
once destroyed, and new bands put in
their places, or if but few they may be
crushed, and the old protectors remain.
In letter received this season | am

bands | can only say with Prof. Riley,
that the straw or hay bands simply afford
an enticing shelter for the worm when
seeking for place to build his spun IN

be accepted. There are many patent traps

HOG CHOLERA.-The Cincinnati Pyoluc(
Reporter Says: Turnips are said to be-a
certain cure for the disease known AS
cholera in hogs, Many experiments have
been made by Major John Million of La
plata, Macon Co., Missouri, and his neigh-
bors, and always with success when the
hogs were not too far gone to eat turnlps.
This vegetable is easily raised, and if it
proves to be SO valuable elsewhere rs the
testimony shows it to be in Macon county.
farmers who raise hogs should ALWAYS
have supply on hand" The relief is
probably due to change OF diet as much rs
anything else. If turnips, beets, potatoes
and other roots and vegetables were fed
with corn, there would be very much less

RED PEPPER AND PoULTRY.-A CORES
pendent of the Poultry Bulletin says:
do not know whether other persons who
raise poultry and pet birds are as mucL
dependent as l am on red pepper; but
have found so much benefit from its use in
my poultry yards and cages that it may
not be amiss TO call the attention of Others
TO its good qualities. l do not speak Of
the article that is sold in drug stores (and
sometimes not remarkably fresh), but Of
the capsicum that grows in our gardens
have tried all the different varieties and
find that the most pungent and etficaclous
is the small kind usually known by the
name of " birds pepper" The plant in
itself is beautiful object; it grows about
two feet high, and in autumn lis bright
little scarlet berries look like coral beads
peeping from under the dark, green
foliage. Indeed, one plant in pot seems
Il very pretty ornament for flower stand.
The seed possesses IL stimulating and re-
viving property, and find that two or
three given to newly Matched chickens,
especially if they are weakly, have most
happy eff, ct. If hen looks feeble after
moul!ing, six of these berries or pods,
given daily, in some corn meal and sweet
milk i'm groves her wonderfully. Last sum-
mer two of my finest canaries began to
droop. Every day gave them each one
seed Of the " bird pepper and in less
than week they were quite well. The
same remedy is invaluable for knocking
birds.
