when TO Cut Grass.

The method of curing grass among
farmers varies, some driving it more
than others. Too much drying i'm
pairs the feeding quality of the hay.
In curing, some put hay into the
NOW while green in color, but not
so green in condition as to heat. This
method was deemed the best. One
day Of curing the grass that had been
cut tree from dew, was ordinarily
enough to cure the grass. When or
at what stage of growth should the
grass be cut for hay, was a question
often discussed. 1t was generally
conceded that early cut grass made
hay of better quality than that cut
late. Early cut fodder was more di-
gestible than late cut, the digest1ble
nutriment being the measure of
value. Young plants were richer
in proteine than later cut, and
therefore more nutritious; but not
only quality, but the quantity, from
a given area had to be considered,
which complicated the problem.
The proteine after the grass BIOS
SONS was transferred to forming
seeds, the stem or stalk. AS the
woody fibre was forming, the por-
teine decreased in both leaves and
stalks. The older the plant the less
digestible it was. The. increase OF
quantity.was at the expense of quail
ity. Seeds were not masticable,
and for practical purposes hay that
was fully ripe was little, if any bet
ter than straw. If but one crop had
to be cut, the cutting ought TO be
done when the plants begin to bloom.
The lecturer then went on to give
the results of experiments calculated

Money at the Bottom oft.

The New York Herald'S Lima
correspondent says that Mr.. Tres
colt seemed to follow very closely
in the path chosen by General Hurl-
burt. The attentions paid him all
emanated from one political party.
Trescott found Mortero powerless
to carry into effect any agreement
for peace which involved the cession
of territory. Mortero had no
troops, and was surrounded by a
tickle following who continually de-
serted him as they found opportuni-
ties to make a living elsewhere.
Caceres still claims authority in
Ayacucho but the project of Cuzco
is raising troops to march against
him. None of the southern leaders
recognize the authority of Montero.
A truce between Bolivia and Chill
has doubtless been signed. Re-
speeding the Peruvian company i'm
broglio and its various ramifications
the correspondent SAYS the Credit In
dustriel was started in Paris by
Goyeneche, the wealthiest Peruvian
living, and Dreyfus the Frenchman,
who has made the most money out
of guano. There seems no doubt
this was the favored scheme both in
Peru and Washington, and that
Shepherds credulity was used to
assist in forcing action against Chill.
Subsequently he would have been

scheme in which bigger

boyhood he has been a protege and
finally the trusted agent of the

therefore, that he should have been
determined, as provisional president
of Peru, to back up the scheme in
which the immense capital of his
benefactor was involved, and
on the success of which de-
pended an easy life of
wealth in Paris. Goyeneche never

Mr.. Prescott considered an "eminent

Now, although a prisoner IN. Chill,

of Peru and to have taken the place

than even the wisest suppose; aud
that there has been some connec-

Who should Keep Bees !

That bee culture is a profitable
pursuit when properly and intelli-
gently pursued, Notwithstanding
the many drawbacks attending it,
can no longer be doubted by those
who have noticed its progress for
few years back. But as there is no
universal adoption of all individuals
to any one thing, we would not
recommend everybody to undertake
1t. There must first be a taste or
fOndness for it, for we have rarely
seen anyone succeed, in an eminent
degree, in any pursuit that he takes
no interest in,
Second, there must be a sufficient
degree of intelligence 10 comprehend
it, for it is u thing that will not
prosper by hap-haZard management,
and the veriest Yankee cannot sue
coed in it by guess work.
Third, there should be a sufficient
amount of industry and application,
not only to acquire a correct knowl-
edge of the peculiarities of bees,
their habits and instincts, but to do
the labor necessary in managing
them, and to do it at the right time.
The lack of one or more of these
essential qualifications will account
for every failure that takes place. A
taste may be acquired by famiiiari-
zing ourselves with bees. AS we be-
come more familiar with them and
their habits, our love for them grows
stronger. 1t requires no exalted de-
gree of intelligence to comprehend
the few established facts upon which
improved bee keeping rests, provi-
ded the proper persevering indus
try is used so that it would be an
insult to the intelligence of the
American people TO say that a ma
iority of them could not obtain sue
cess if so disposed.
There are but few persons who
possess the qualifications named and
home, who cannot make it a profit
and pastime to have bees, without
interfering in the least with their
other occupations. Ministers of the
gospel seem to have peculiar pen
chant for the pursuit, and among
them are numbered the best bee
keepers in the world. D'Zierron,
who now stands ahead of all others
in the business, is Catholic clergy
man. To him we are indebted for
the theory upon which all successful
bee culture is based. Langstroth
is protestant clergyman, and with
out naming others we may say that
there are more bee keepers in this
profession, in proportion to their
number, than any other. Lawyers
have just the leisure necessary, and
need the open air recreation and ex-
ercise incident to the successful
prosecution of tie business. Those
who have attempted it have beeu
the most successful. Farmers \and
horticulturists find all of its profits
clear gain, as it can be carried on
without interfering with their crops.
Mechanics who have ever so small a
piece of ground can keep few bees.
The women, when they will under
take ii, are the most successful bee
keepers. One of the most successful
apicuturists in the United States
was Mrs. e. S. Upper, of Iowa.

Wool Market.

From the wool circular of Walter
Brown d Co., of Boston, of the 3rd in
slant, we make the following extracts
During the past week, the sales in the
market have been the smallest of any for
this year, or for the corresponding time
of last year, which can be partially ac-
counted for by the unpleasant weather
and to decoration day, which is now gen
orally observed as a national holiday
throughout the country. Manufacturers
sre as yet UNCERTAIN what the styles of
their products will be, and with the
threatened strikes and labor troubles
throughout the country, they are
probably justified in pursuing the course
which has marked their policy
for the last six months and
with but few excep-
lions since the spring of 1880 and are
buying In only small quantities to supply
their immediate wants. Not only are the
seaboard markets depressed but advices
from the interior indicate that consumers
are not buying in the country as has been
their custom in previous years, as it is
probable that their experience last season
was not such as to cause them to care for
a repetition of the same, and the con-
tinued dizziness in the sales of woolens
renders them comparatively easy about
their future supplies:
While the prompt shipment of their
purchases In most instances would indi-
cate that some mills at least are running
on light stocks, the large transactions of
the first three months of this year rem
ders the total amount of sales over six
million pounds in advance of those of
the same date of last year, and as on a
whole wooden goods have not sold as well
this season as the last, the natural con-
clusion Is that manufacturers have stocks
enough to last them for some time as yet,
and with the knowledge that the entire
clip will soon be available there would
seem to be no immediate prospect of any
legitimate advance in prices for
the next month and that
values would remain nominally
unchanged from tie present quota
lions. The decrease in the amount of
sales for the last week has been on no
particular grade or character of woods,
the falling off in quantity being about
equal on all classes except the fine I'M
washed and understandable wool, the
sales of which show an. increase of about
10000 pounds over those of last week, at
fully sustained prices, and il is likely that
these woods will continue to meet during
the coming season with their present
good demand, rs their increased sales
proves their deserved merits are becom-
ing better appreciated every year.

Lamene.s in Hstsss.

Hon. d. d. Slade, professor Of ag-
ricultural zoology, Harvard univer-
sity, gives in the american AgTi-
cuItlTdliSt for June a very full ac-
count Ofthe symptoms that will en-
able owners of horses to detect dill
ferent varieties of lameness, and their
treatment. He says:
shoulder lameness is frequently
due TO strain, or to direct violence,
and is shown in repose by the hang
ing of the limb +; from dissemination
to move the muscles, and during mo-
ton by the dragging and difficulty
to bring forward the limb, which is
done by rotatory movement. 1t is
also shown by the fiinching when
the foot is lifted and carried forward
and backward. The positive signs
before mentioned may or may not be
present 1t the elbow is affected,
there will be a singular changing" of
the limb, and excessive nodding of
the head in motion.
In splint, lameness Is usually much
increased by exercise. Pressure on
the limb shows tenderness, and there
is increased heat, with more or less
swelling. A small splint, in devel-
Oping, may give much more pain,
shown by lameness, than one fully
formed. Ring-bone, and oss'fied
side cartilages, in their early stages,
may be recognized as causes of a pc
culiar stiffened gait, with the wei ght
thrown upon the heels. The lame
ness nearly or entirely disappears
before the bony deposit appears
about the middle and lower pastern.
Strains of posterior and other liga-
ments and tendons of the lower limbs
evidence themselves by the local syms
toms and alteration in gait. But
there are cases of temporary lame
ness, from very obscure causes, at
tributable only to very sudden
strain of some ligament whose ex-
act situation can only be surmised.
The short, quiet step of the horse,
with that Inflammation OF the feet
known as chronic laminitis, in which
the weight is thrown upon the heels
of the fore limbs, is easily recOg-
nized. In the less frequent affection,
naviculor disease, the weight is
thrown upon the toes, the gait is
short, and the lameness, slight at
first, is increased by exercise. Corns
are discovered by rapping and
pinching the sole at the space be-
tween the bars and the quarters in
the fore feet. Disease of the frog is
self-evident by the peculiar odor.
A sand crack sufficient to pro-
duce lameness cannot escape
observation. Accidental inj'u-
ries to the feet will generally
be known by the history of the case.
Lameness in and about the hip-joint,
is most frequently result of strain,
and is to be recognized by the pecu-
liar want of movement of the hind
quarter, and, if of long standing, by
the wasting of the muscles OF the
region. Snfe-joint lameness, either
the result of Taxation or of disease,
may be known by the dragging of
the toe, and by the local symptoms.
Bone SPAWN is manifested by posi-
tive signs, but more especially by
the stiffness in the bending of the
bending of the hook joint, and by
the dragging and sudden catching
up of the limb, and above all by the
disappearance of all lameness dur
ing exercise, to reappear after rest.
Bog SPAWN, a disease of the true
hook joint, gives rise to a similar
lameneSs.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1882-06-15

to show that it was more profitable
TO cut two or three crops of young,
grass than one crop of ripe grass; in
practice, however. it had to be re-
membered that the fertility of the
soil, the length of the season and
the cost of labor were all elements
that must enter into the calculation.
No general and inflexible rules could
be laid down in this matter. Early
cutting favored quality, while late
cutting favored quantity. The
quality of rowen on second crop
varied in quality according to the
richness of the soil and the time of
cutting the first crop. If cut at a
comparatively early date of its
growth, and properly cured, it is a
valuable fodder for mich cows and
sheep. 1t requires more skill and
care in curing than the first crop, or
it suffers loss in quality.
