1t will be seen that the amount of hay received
at Boston this year, up to the present month is
greater by ll9s0 tons than was received during
the same period in 1879 but the fact indicates an
increasing demand, more than stocks in store or

Increasing work railway and other operations
where horses are required has increased the de
mand for hay. Though there are many patent

horses are proposed and tried frequently, vet it is

The Hay and Annie Crops.

In Maine bountiful crop of hay has been stored
in excellent condition. In nearly the entire State
it will run from ten to twenty per cent better
than last year, and ten per cent better on an aver
age. The crop was great surprise to almost
every one for the season has been a very dry one
There was no rain to amount to anything from
early spring until August, but occasional light
showers moistened the surface, and relieved in a
measure the severity of the drought though the
streams, lakes and rivers were down to lowest
water marks. Grass went through the winter
without injury, notwithstanding the fact that in
the central and southern part of the State the
ground was bare much of the time, and started
vigorously and early in spring 1t was remarked
the first day Of June, that better stand of grass
never was seen at that date, The almost entire
absence of rain during that month, it was supposed
had cut tho crop sadly short, till the mower and
the rake began to gather the rich harvest. The
crop grew i'll the sunshine was cut early and was
harvested without damage, save in a few instances
The Boston Herald has obtained some interest
ing information from an extensive hay dealer of
that city His correspondence shows that out OF
eight of the principal hay sections of Maine heard
from, six report good quantity of hay for ship
ping, while two report none to spare; and that the
hay crop of the New England States, Canada and
New York is above the average in value. the
quality being better than ever before This is
very important fact always to be taken into con
sderation in estimating the hay crop. The diff
ference is fully fifty per cent between crop Of
good and one of poor quality
