An agricultural journal says the
farmer who makes his hay early and before the
seeds begin to form will have the best and most
profitable hay. There are a number OF good
reasons why grass should be cut early. When
grass is once mature its fibres are woody and
the rich nourishing juices are gone. 1t then is
hard to eat or digest and affords little nourish-
ment. Let every farmer try the experiment by
giving his cattle at the same time young cut
hay and old cut hay, and he will soon see
which his cattle prefer; aad If ne has enougIh,
of each to continue the experiment, he will
also learn on which hay his stock will thrive
the best.
