The Country Gentleman says: The
real profit arising from farming con-
sists In the attention TO the details.
He who looks closely after small
things Is the one who finds farming 20
pay. Neglect in the smaller items
leads TO carelessncss in larger. In
directions for the milking of cows we
always notice that emphasis is laid
upon Saving all the strippings, as
therein lies great richness.n Il Is the
last item which, is added to any Civ
en- product that yields the profit.

it will never be sweet and of good
quality.
The different grasses should be
watched and not allowed TO stand too
long before cutting. The blue or
June grass should be cut early, and
when secured without getting too hot
in the NOW or stack, is the rery best
of all grasses for milch COWS. Vel
low butter can be made while feeding
on this hay. But for cattle, and cs-
pecially COWS, it should be cured so
as to retain as much OF its greenness
as possible.
Timothy, the principal crop over a
large section of country, is often left
till the seed has commenced TO hard
en-, and sometimes even till the seed
is ready TO fall of. This system is
altogether wrong. The stem has
become too dry, the leaves withered,
and the nutritious qualities are gone
out of it. We believe it should be cut
while perfectly green, Immediately
after the bloom has fallen, and if
there Is a lage quantity to secure,
should even he commenced before
this occurs. My experience has been
that horses like it better, and if de-
signed for other stock it is much bet
ter. This grass is often allowed TO
remain too long before secured, con-
scquently is too much wilted. In our
hot days Of haying time it is soon
cured, and cannot very readily be
put up too soon. | have often re-
marked that more hay has been injur-
ell by the hot sun in this country than
by rain. And since the mowers
have become general, the custom is
to rush down the grass, and get too
far ahead Of hauling. 1t is better to
be n day or two longer at the WORK
and secure it properly.
1t is not very good policy to cut
the second growth; this is hard on
the meadow. But under favorable
circumstances it may be we'll TO cut
n portion Of the clover the second
time, for feeding to lambs in the fall
and early winter, and when secured
in "a green and sweet condition, this
is the very best feed for sheep, espec-
tally for lambs. But very few men
succeed every time in the curing, and
if not properly cured the hay is
almost worthless for fodder.
Impicments-There are so many
mowers that almost any that are adj
vertised, properly understood and
well cared for in the way Of oil, sharp
knives, &c, will do the work satisfac-
tory.
Every farmer should have n sulky
rake, as a boy can drive and manage
the horse and easily attend to the
raking and if the farmer himself
has to do the work, after the harder
and hot work of the hay field, it is a
rest for him-quitc as easy as bug
gy ride.
One hint more. As the corn field
and other work will engage the atten-
ton and be very pressing up to the
time of commencing haying, he
sure to have mower and necessary
tools put in proper order at your
leisure, previously. If the guards to
the mower knife are blunted or the
edges rounded much, be sure to get
them laid over. If this is neglected,
the mower should not be blamed if
it refuses to cut the grass nicely.

ONE point in favor of narrowing
wheat in the spring, which we have
by twelve years experience, estab-
lished to our entire satisfaction, is
that it greatly aids in securing a
"good catch" of clover. We deferred
our clover seed sowing this spring
until late in April, after the ground
had dried and settled thoroughly,
and then sowed it Immediately be-
hind heavily-weighted harrow. As
a result we have a splendid catch, of
more real value to us, on one third
land, than the wheat crop itself. We
believe, indeed we feel certain, that
the narrowing improves the wheat
crop, but it is of less Importance in
this than in securing a good stand of
clover.

Do not delay cutting the rye heads
from the wheat too long. If done
now they may be dropped where cut,
but if postponed few days they will
become so nearly matured this will
be unsafe, and they must be carried
out and destroyed.

THE most effective way 70 rid
sheep of ticks, is to give the lambs q
dip in strong tobacco water n few
days after shearing. The shearing
leaves the parasites so exposed upon
the old sheep that they soon congre-
gate upon the lambs. Five pounds
Of tobacco boiled in twenty gallons
of water will make it about the prop
er strength, and an addition of a
couple of pounds of sulphur will
make it sure death to all the vermin
with which it comes in contact. As
sulphur does not dissolve in water,
it will be necessary to stir the dip
while using.

tailed by this witness was the fact
that at the election held there last
fall the democratic ticket received
5000 majority in that parish, though
in 1876 the republican ticket had
1881 votes against 332 for the
democratic ticket. Now, if these
statements are untrue, it is easy to

If they are true, then an explana.
ton is in order. 1t is not probable
that there was larger vote polled
last year than in an exciting presi-
dental election, and yet it appears
that the democratic majority is
larger in 1879, by nearly two hun
dred votes, than the entire vote of
1876. Has the population increas-
ed to that extent. That is not
likely, the population of Madison
parish is largely colored, and
it is the fact that many of

years. The state of affairs exists
