The Early Hay Crop.

II will soon be time to cut the early
crop OF hay. There are number of
things to determine the proper time to do
this work first as to the feeding value of
the hay. For this, as far as quality is
concerned. there is no doubt that the grass
and clover should be cut a trife before
the period OF full blossom. From this
time on to near the end of bloosoming
though there may be an increase in the
weight of the hay gathered. it is Of much
poorer quality; the nutritive elements
have not increased materially, but there
is much larger per cent. of undigestible
woody fibre. Secondly, the value of the
aftermath is increased by the early cutting
as it has ten or twelve days longer to
grow. Thirdly, there is practical ad-
vantage in cutting the hay early, as it
prolongs the haying season and permits
Of less hurry and therefore more care in
gathering the crop. These points apply
equally well to the grain crops. they be-
ing too frequently harvested later than is
best for the richest fodder and the finest
quality of grain.-Am. Agricuiturist.

4 Suggestion In Orchard Planting.

good suggestion in regard to planting
orchards is made in the Home Farm by N
ID. Smith of Aroostook county. He broke
up an acre of land the last of August.
1876, and the first of November he marked
it off into squares of sixteen feet putting
stakes at the corners of the squares.
Around each stake he dug out a circle
three feet in diameter and one foot deep,
filling it up with loan in which was mixed
half bushel of well rotted manure. The
stakes were kept in the centre. and around
each stake he sowed apple seeds. The
two following seasons the land was well
manfred. potatoes raised one year and
beans the next, but nothing was planted
within three feet of the stake Some of
the best trees were grated after one sea-
sons growth. The trees not needed were
transplanted. some of which died. but not
one of the trees which remained where it
was planted died. ..Some of these trees
are now after four years growth. two
inches in diameter at the ground" This
is pretty large size. Possibly he meant
two inches in circumference. which would
seem more probable. This is method
OF raising an orchard which is worth imi-
tating.

miscellaneous.


A large number of farmers and stock
raisers appear to attach very little value
to growing grass as . material Tor the
production of beef and mutton. They a6-
knowledge, however. that it produces a
large amount Of milk, and milk that is
very rich in cream. They, accordingly,
keep their mich cows on the best pastures
they have, yet they are quite likely to turn
the cattle and sheep they intend to fatten
for the winter market into pastures that
afford but a small amount Of feed. They
argue that grass will produce a large
amount of milk because that is chiefly
composed Of water; but they hold that it
will produce little flesh and fat. In
the production Of these substances they
think that they must have more substan-
tial kinds of food. such as corn, small
grain and hay. They accordingly defer
paying much attention to feeding animals
intended for the butcher till the approach
of cold weather. greater mistake could
not be made May and June are better
months for the production OF flesh and fat
than October and November. A kind of
food that will produce large amount OF
milk, rich in materials that constitute but
ter and cheese. will also produce large
amount OF flesh and fat. As grass is the
best food for the production Of milk. the
quantity and quality both being taken into
consideration, so it is also the best food
tor the production of flesh and fat. ''June
butter" is held in high esteem, and the
like is true in respect to June beef. 1t is
tender, juicy. and possessed Of an ex-
tremely delicate flavor. There is no more
favorable time for the production Of beet
and mutton than the present. Grass is
abundant. tender, and sweet, and cattle
and sheep which are allowed all they can
consume will gain very rapidly. Grass is
the cheapest as well as the best material
to employ for the production of beef and
mutton. It grows without cultivation
and does not even require harvesting
