HAY.-Recent vestigations threaten to up,
set some popular notions. 1t has long been
supposed that early hay cut is more valuable
than that cut later IT the judgment of cows
were a test, there would be no question about
1t. They will leave the ripper hay, and even
refuse to eat at ALL If they cannot procure that
which has been cut earlier. In the writer's
dairy, the milk falls OFT more than ten per cent.
when the young hay Is changed for that cut
two weeks later This Is sufficient to support
the general opinion in spite of the chemical
analysis which goes to show that ripe hay Is
heavier, more bulky, and contains more nutr.
tiOus substance, than that cut earlier. Perhaps
the operation of the chemist can extract more
nurtriment from ripe hay than can the cows
stomach; but as young hay feeds more profit
ably, il seems best to cut early.
Curing hay IN the cock is preferable to sun
drying. The sweating and fermentation i'm.
prove and prevent heating in the NOW or
stack. The writer prefers to put up hay, after
the dew Is off, in moderately large cocks
four feet wide and hlgh-after 1t has lam
spread in the sun one full day 1t may thus
stay safely for week, if necessary, and hay
cap will protect it from a "a hours rain. The
day 1t Is drawn in, a man should start early
and open the cocks, to get final airing for
three hours before 1t is taken up.

The Clover Plant.

DR.. Byron ID. Halsted presents in the An,eri
can Agraculturtst for September the following
important facts with regard to the agricultural
value of the clover plant:
The Glover Plant is close and deep, FEEDER
sending its fine roots far down into the soil,
filling the subsOil with a network of rootlets.
1t exposes q large leaf surface, and ia thns able
to concentrate weak solutions Of plant food,
and prepare them for the formation of vege.
table substance. The clover plant grows
throughout the whole season, and IS thus able
to take up the nitrates as they form. These
compounds of nitrogen are produced in large
quantities in hot summer months, and, being
very soluble, would be washed out by the
rains, we're It not that the clover plant absorbs
them. This Is one great advantage which
clover has over all the common grains, that
finish their growth, and are harvested before
the time for the most rapid notification ar
rlves. Ii is well known fact that clover pre-.
pares land tor the production of large crops,
and this is explained IN large part by the long
season OF its growth, and its deep and close
feeding, and the storing up Of compounds of
nitrogen. The clover plant is largely below
ground, SO that removing the tops takes away
only part of the vegetable matter that has
been accumulated. The roots OF clover are
large and numerous; when they are turned
over In blowing, and decay they yield good
supply Of plant food to such crops as feed near
the surface, and must grow rapidly for only
few weeks. In this way the clover crop Will
help the succeeding wheat crop, and has given
rise to the saying that GLOVER seed is the bes,
manure farmer can use." If the whole crop
of clover Is turned under, as green manure,
much larger amount of plant food is put into
the soil. This is one OF the quickest, cheapest
and best methods OF increasing the fertility of
a piece of land

y USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

The coffee plant has the general
appearance OF cherry tree. 1t grows
TO height of twenty or thirty feet, but
in the course of culture Is kept cut
down to five or six feet.
Ut is not proper to keep ducks and
chickens in the same yard. The broad
bill of the duck enables it to gormandize,
and, being a voracious feeder, it is
likely to deprive other fowls Of their
share of feed.
There are just at this period in his
tory too many going into some branch
of agriculture with brass bands and flags
flying. We rejoice they are not that
class who have earned their money by
hard labor.--Io10a State Register.
Paint, to last long, should be put on
early in winter or spring, when it is cold
and no dust flying. Paint put on in

Artificial incubation has been prac-
ticed from the earliest times in the East,
chiefly in China, India and Egypt. In
the latter country large manuals, or
ovens, holding from 10000 to $4,000
eggs, are still used for the purpose, and
the villagers bring their eggs in the ex-
pectation of receiving, after lapse of
twenty-one days, 200 chicks for every
800 eggs deposited.
At this season the little white worms
that infest the soil are very troublesome,
but they can easily be killed by push
ing four or five matches, PHOSPHORUS
ends down, into the pots. If they are
very abundant put two or three up the
drainage hole at the bottom of the pot.
This proves death to them and does not
injure the plants. Insect powder, such
as is used to destroy flies, will kill the
red spider and the aphis; but the
plants should be washed after it has
been applied an hour. -Denyer Tribune.

A Chapter on Bread.

Whatever may be said to the con-
trary, one of the most important
items which falls to the lot of the
housewife is the preparation of good
and wholesome food, and right in the
forefront of this is the making of good
bread, the "staff of life the food of
all classes. To be sure we may not all
have it to do, but if not, we must have
some one to do it for us, and it is by
knowing how things should be done
that we succeed in getting them prop
erly done.
1t would be unnecessary to give here
detailed account of the process, but
merely few items which must not be
overlooked The first essentials are
good flour, good lively yeast, good fuel,
and an oven that does good baking;
and although we may possess all these
and fail, lacking any of them, perfect
success would be impossible.
The oasis of good yeast, whether
liquid or cake, is good hops. When the
yeast is added the batter should be at a
temperature not above ninety-eight de-
grces, nor 2hould it be allowed, during
The prpccss of rising, to fall below
seventy degrees. The temperature is
easily ascertained by the use of dairy
mans thermometer, but practice soon
enables one 10 become quite accurate
by the sense of touch. The flour for
mixing should be as nearly as possible
the same temperature as the sponge
For fine flour mix stiff and knead thor
oughly that the particles of leaven may
be eifectually and equally distributed
among the particles of dough; but for
graham or mush bread mix soft. but
thoroughly, and mold into loayes i'm
mcdiatcly. When the bread is set to
rise, see that it does not get so warm as
10 render it sticky and necessitate the
use of flour when molding, and for
this reason it is preferable to place it in
wooden or some thick vessel instead
of tin.
The oven, for baking. should be at a
proper heat, said to be three hundred
and fifty degrees. OF this, however
cannot affirm, never having the means
of testing, but | do know that it
should be sufficient to begin the baking
process Immediately and continue with
out additional fuel And lastly, GER
tain amount of practice in this as in
other things is necessary to insure alb
solute success
Although some may look scornful at
the idea of hints upon such a common
place theme, what is there which adds
more to the palatableness of meal
than light, sweet and wholesome bread,
and it is the experience of those whose
lot it is to board around,n that in no
other department does there exist a
greater deficiency. Then, too, very
many of us are within easy reach of the
baker, but who would not prefer the
good, homemade article to the pulled
up, tastelcSs, too often sour, and i'll
nourishing bread of bakers make.
Think not thatin this would underrate
the many other branches of cookery,
but merely make this prominent and
give it place among the rudiments of
the culinary department. Cor. House
