Wheu 70 Ont Grass

for hay was the subject of paper by
Calvin Cooper at the late meeting Of
the Lancaster County Agricultural and
Horticultural Society in which he said
There is, undoubtedly, the most nutri.
ment in all plants used for hay, OF
long feed for stock, at the stage Of
growth when the plant of whatever
Bind is in full bloom. At this time all
plants that reproduce themselves from
seed, are in that stage ofgrowth, when
Q cry effort oitle plant is made to form
The seed for its own reproduction hence
II you would obtain the most OF it, then
Is the proper time to arrest its growth
and preserve those desirable ingredients
on the stalk previous to it's ooncentra-
tion in the seed vessels Of the plant,
and to o greater or less extent in FRO
portion to the time intervening between
the blooming and cutting, are the val
liable Ingredients absorbed, and the
woodv fibre of the plant Left correspon-
dinghy unpalatable. would there
fore cut for hay at the time when there
was the most full bloom, rather (if
quality of hay was the chief objsct) err
on the side OF the green than too ripe.
I well know the most Of our farmers
think, or at least act otherwise perhaps
partly because the hay when ripe is
much easier made, and they might
have little more 10 sell. II Is also a
common error to dry too much, which
with the grass over ripe, makes rough,
harsh, dusty and unpalatable proven
der.

A GGOWlAME DOG.

Bismarck's big dog has been growing
again. The Chancellor was listening
to pc 'ition presented by two delegates
from Altoona, and his dog was on the
carpet at his feet. The deles ates-
Nothnagel and Semper-took their seats
oh q leathern couch facing his Highness.
Nothnagel held a roll of paper in his
right hand and, bling an energetic
speaker, accustomed to emphasize his
argument by gesticulation, he waved
his scroll about while addressing the
Chancellor, unmindtul of the fact that
his movements ELECTED several success
sive disappearing utterancss from the
watchful hound. Presently the dog
rose with a fierce growl; whereupon
Prince Bismarck, hastily interrupting
his interlocutor's remarks, exclaimed ::
"Do put down that scroll, | beg of you.
Ny deg like myself, entertaips pro-
found aversion to every kind of paper.
He believes it TO bs weapon ~ 1t is
needless to add that Mr.. Nothnagel
promptly complied With this request
obviously to the satisfaction of the
Realm Dog, which forthwith subsidized
into his former peaceful attitude.

The peach crop bids fair to be quite
remurerative, Notwithstanding the pre-
dictions made ia the early part Of the
past month. In fact the frost in many
localities seems to have done good rath-
er than harm, killing off the sickly
germs and leaving the more vigorous
ones unframed. This must have been
the case, as Jas. V. Moore, of Odessa,
informs us that the June shedding was
never known to have been so slight;
some years the shedding is so heavy
that the hopes of the growers for fair
crop have been entirely blasted. Yes
terday we were shown q twig taken
from the orchard of Mr.. Spruance near
Clay ton by Conductor Book Oh which
were dozen peaches nearly as large as
walnuts and looking very thrifty. We
are informed that the trees generally
are equally well filed, and the indi-
cations for a paying crop were unusual
ly promising.
