Hay Making

A writer in the New York Tribune
says: "a practice of thirty years salts
fled me that the best time for me to cut
the different grasses and the best way to
cure them is As follows:
We always begin to NOW clover when
the heads are One-quarter turned-to use
an expression that every farmer will
understand Earlier than this is ALWAYS
better than later. We never enter the
field with the moving until the
dew is entirely off, and then we NOW
until noon. As near to the time when
the dew begins to fall-to use a common
expression-as possible we go to the field
and turn the dry side under and the
green side up, and the next day, as soon
as it is fairly dry-as soon as the stems
are shrunken so that the juices are in a
state of rest and not activity-we pitch
into winrows, giving the under side of
the locks minutes sun as we turn them
over while moving them and then follow
with the team; and if possible, and if the
days have been favorable, have what was
cut at nine O'Clock one day in the barn
by two or three o'clock the next. BY
this process not a leaf will be left in the
field; and althouSe it will heat perhaps
little in the NOV, especially if it is large
and coarse, yet it will not injure; and, on
the other hand, when the time of feeding
comes it Will have a most satisfactory
smell, and cattle will eat and thrive
upon it as upon no other hay. As to
timothy and red-top, we always cut
timothy when one-half the heads are in
full bloom, and the red-top when three
quarters of the seed branches have fallen
away from the center stalk. As with
clover we never cut until the dew is off;
and if the grass is not too heavy, and the
day is good, and the tedder is kept at
work, we try TO get it in condition to
go into the barn the following day with
out opening, always beginning to cart the
dryest when the sun gets towards its
meridian, and pitching it into the hay
rack, not in forkfuls of fifty pounds
weight, but taking time to open it lit
tie, as it goes on to the load, to both the
air and sun. AS to natural grasses, we
always cut little before maturity, and
never overdry. If stress of weather pre-
cipitates housing what has been cut be-
fore it is in the right condition, half
peck or more of common salt to ton
will relieve any anxiety with regard to
injury in the NOW. The country never
was as bare of hay as it is now, and so
much the more need of cutting the new
crop in season and curing it the best.

r. NJ. Bell, a close observer, wrote
while in California that the desire to get
"quick returns or the fact that any
more wool can thus be annually OBJ
tanned, are not the principal incentives
to semi-annual clippings; but that these
incentives are found in the health and
thrift of the sheep. Mr.. Bell says that
if the summer growth of wool is cal
lowed to remain it will cause itching,
from the dirt and sand that collects in
the fleece. The rains soften the dirt
into pulp, and it combines with the wool
into crust, like felt, 50 that when the
warm weather of February comes it pro-
duces an irritation and fever that loosens
the wool and distresses the sheep, and
there is loss of wool and condition

Hints for the Season.

If you want the straw berry bed that
has borne you good crop this season to
bear well next year, work it out thor
oughly and manure well as soon as it is
through bearing. Don't put it off until
the bed is filled with weeds and grass.
First pillow or spade the ground between
the rows, cutting the rows down narrow
er: then work the rows ost well with a
fork potato digger, and scatter in them a
liberal quantity of well-rotted compost,
guano or poudrette. It's good plan to
draw fresh earth in among the plants.
As soon as the new growth of black
raspberries and blackberries are two feet
high, nip off the tip end. which causes
them to branch out and grow stocky.
The new growth of red raspberries
should be allowed to grow four feet high
without nipping, and if fruit is wanted
on the red raspberries keep the cultivator
and hoe going between the rows or hills.
and thus keep down suckers
If not done. mulch the strawberry
plants now, to keep the surface moist and
fruit clean. Use rotted sawdust, or fresh
cut grass, or hay or straw cut up fine
50 that it can be drawn in around the
plants.
Keep the codling moth out of fruit

Good butter cannot be made from
poor cream. And to 90 a step farther,
good cream cannot be taken from bad
milk. If the cows feed on foul pastures
or fallows filled with rank weeds and
wild onions, no process of manufacture
can eliminate the taste and color from
the butter. Or, if the cows are compelled
to roam the brown, short pastures all
through the heat of the day to obtain
their scanty food, and then are driven
up at night by reckless bows and dogs
until their blood is feverish, the milk
contains the elements of decay when it
leaves the udder Promising that the
cows have been kept cool and quiet, with
sufficient wholesome food, and that
proper attention has been paid to purity
and cleanliness in milking and straining
the milk, it must be properly set to Sc
cure pure, untainted cream.
There is no better hour for churning
in these summer days than the cool,
dewy mornings. As to the style of
churn, we have never seen ANYTHING vet
better than the Blanchard. The cream
should be little sour and at the temper
allure of 60 degrees Fahrenheit 1t is
disadvantage to the butter if it comes
too soon. Rapidly churned butter is not
as good nor as long keeping as that
churned in thirty to forty minutes If
the temperature of the cream rises above
81 degrees during the process of churn-
ing, it may be brought down by pouring
in some ice cold milk. The sailing
should be done by careful weighing and
not by guess. The old rule of an ounce
of salt to pound of butter is the maxi
mum. One of the best Chautauqua
dairymen uses pound of salt to twenty
pounds of butter, and some of the "gilt-
edged" Vermont butter contains only
half an ounce of salt to pound of butter.
If the butter is packed in oak firkins
they should be thoroughly soaked in at
least three successive waters previous to
being used. When the last water is
turned out quantity of salt is thrown
in and the frKin is rolled round
and round until all the salt that will, adj
heres to the moist sides and bottom.
The loose salt is turned out and the but
ter snugly packed. The thin incrusta-
ton of salt partially dissolves, forming a
film of brine between the butter and the
porous wood.
For the retail trade the great want is a
suitable package that will preclude the
necessity of cutting into the mass of but
ter. 1t must be made of a material
tiavorless and inodorous that will not
rust or absorb greese. Such packages
made of uniform sizes from one pound to
five pounds would be welcomed both by
the dairyman and grocer.

stubby, his hair, which grows well down
his neck, is tirged with silver, and his

Pasha. No one passing him in the street
would suspect his English origin, the
orange color of the face and the fez eff

Saxon blood and breeding. There was a
depressed look about his eyes. His man

natural jealousy which moves all Turks
against Englishmen seeking glory and
renown, he manages to interfere with
the majority of Hobart's plans. He

isn't able to throw cold water in his di-

lot of old officers who were brought up
in harems and who may be fitted for
some service but not for the navy, he
manages to pay rather dearly for the
honors he wears. But great things are

Danger of Rocking Babies.

Among the bad results of former DAYS
was that of rocking infants to sleep.
Rocking induces a state of the brain not
favorable to health. 1t may throw the
infant into morbid slumber, but not
into SO calm and refreshing sleep as it
ought to have. Healthy infants sleep
more soundly, more quietly, more refresh
ingly, by avoiding rocking, which COM
poses by inducing temporary congestion
of the brain. After while the desire
of being rocked is a mere matter of habit,
it compels an infant to sleep when it is
not sleepy, or when it is wet and needs
dry clothing. In various ways make a
child comfortable at its regular hour of
repose, and it will have, if in health, if it
has not been irregularly fed, that sweet
and benefcient slumber that is not in
duced by first inducing an abnormal
state of the brain. Try it. Let a
mother or nurse be rocked in hammock,
and let her observe the effects upon her
own tough brain. She may then be
satisfied that shaking the brain of her
infant from ten to twenty minutes is no
trivial affair. A mother in rural dis
trict had twenty infants, and used, dur
ing the early days, a long clothes-basket
as their place of repose. She was as
regular as the tall clock in the corner in
feeding, washing and putting them to
rest They all lived to maturity She
considered rocking not only as unneces-
sary, but as cruel. We have ourselves
felt ''nervous and shocked as we have
visited some nurseries and heard the
continuous rocking by the grandmarm OF
some less venerable person.-RaaLd Q,

While soul met soul in honest ewes
That trembling glowcl through unshed tears,
Born of love that never dies.

That such as these could take farewell!

These twain had softly merged in ore
They might have been severed pole from pole,

A moment more, and he was gone
From sight, nought else High heart and mind
Stronghold of tenderness and truth,

The seasons rolled, and ne'er again
Thus face IL face twas theirs to stand:
Yet heart to heart they walked the world

SHE had just returned from visit to a
married couple, and, as she threw her
hat on sofa, she turned up her nose,
put on a look of disgust, and said: IF
there is anything on this earth that is
hateful it is to see married people kiss
ing and hugging and gushing before
folks" Her little brother crawled out
from under the table, where he had been
hunting stray marble, and, addressing
his sister, said: You and George is all
the time kissing each other before me !;
but you isn't married yet, and then /
suppose I'm too small TO be folks" That
boy told another boy next morning that
it wasn't always a sign when your ear
burned that somebody was talking about
you.

According To recent London advices,
the manager of Sanger's Amphitheater
was drawn on June 9, in tub, by four
geese, from Battersea to Westminster
bridge. He was dressed in naval cap
tain's attire, and made his start on the
ebb-tide to a salute of four guns, being
piloted by Gosling, and conveyed by
about half dozen boats to clear the
way. The geese were harnessed to the
pole of the tub, and satisfactory progress
was made down the river, past Nauxhall
bridge about 3 O'Clock, the trip having
been accomplished in an hour and twenty
minutes.
