Hay.making.

AS the season of hay-making ap.
proaches, one of the prominent ques-
tons which arise is the best time to cut
the grass. This question should be de-
cided according to the best interest OF
each individual farmer. Some varieties
of grass will bear earlier and more fire.
quent cutting than others, and seem to
do all the better, in series of years,
Grasses like timothy, which renews it
self by annual formation of bulbs, for
the best results of several seasons, must
be allowed to complete maturity and
perfect seed. Cutting down the stems
before the plant has come to maturity
shortens the life of the plant, as the
bulbs require certain amount of nutri-
ment to be returned from the stalk and
leaves, and this is always done after ma
eating completion of nutrition is indi-
Gated by dryness of the stem near the
crown of the bulb. When these indica-
tions appear the seeds are fully devel-
oped, and ripen fully as the ripening of
the stem ascends. After this first ap.
pearance cutting ceases to injure, for
the bulbs have received all necessary
nutriment for the renewal and prolonga-
ton of the plant. If the grass be cut
before thus matured nutrition is ar
rested, proper growth ceases, and an
effort to repair injury by sending out
small bulbs which produce only weak
and unhealthy stalks, and the plant
ultimately succumbs from drought, cold,
or other natural cause.
Timothy left to take its natural course
remains fresh and green during winter,
but this green portion should never be
severed by any close cutting or grazing,
or the life of the plant is sacrificed.
Most kinds of grasses are not injured SO
easily, and may be cut at an earlier
stage without injury to the plants.
Grass cut when in full bloom makes as
good hay for feeding and fattening pur-
poses as at any stage, according to my
observation, if we except timothy; that
/ have found most fattening when cut
after the maturity of the seed. The
proper curing and saving of hay is Of as
much importance as the time of cutting,
for unless properly done it matters little
at what stage the grass is cut after the
seed stem shoots. For my part am in
favor of saving and storing hay in tight
to save it and not have it blacken by
heating. To do this, little of the hot,
burning sun rays should be allowed on
it when spread after cutting. It will
surprise many old-style farmers how
green hay may be put in the NOW, in a
tight barn, when cut while the grass is
not wet, and thus cured. Cor. Country
Gentleman.

Political Religion ms . Party Factor.

There is something instructive in the
fact that Garfield and John Sherman
and politicians of that type are more
powerful and popular than the class
represented by Conkling. So far as
bitter and unreasoning partisanship is
concerned, both types are objectionable,
but when they are compared there is
rather q heavy balance against the
former. Conkling's faults are many
and prominent, but he has the redeem
ing characteristics OF being outspokep
and courageous, and of never affecting
moral sentiments for politicalpufpos
He is opposed TO shams, and does not
pretend 70 be q representative of the
religious element. On the contrary,
the President and Mr.. Sherman and
others we might name, are remarkably
fond of sentimental illusions and as
sumo devout and reverend air with
much JUNCTION and address. 1t is an ar
gument in favor of a man II he be con-
sistent and modest Christian. 1t would
