The EARLY HAY CBoP 1t 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 q
trifle before the period OF full blossom
From this time on to near the time Of bios
soming, though there may be an increase
in the weight Of the hay gathered, it is of
much poorer quality; the nutritivo ele-
ments have been increased materially, but
there is much larger per cent. Of undi-
gestible woody fibre. Secondly the value
OF the aftermath is increased by the early
cutting, as it has ten or twenty days long
or to grow. Thirdly there is q practical
advantage in cutting the hay early, as it
prolongs the baying season and permits of
less hurry and therefore more care in gath
ering the crop. These points apply equal
ly well to the grain crops, they being too
frequently harvested later than is best for
the richest fodder aud the finest quality OF
grain. american 1gricntWaiist.
