Cutting and Curing Clover

or the Importance OF the clover crop
II is not necessary to speak; yet its
value when converted into hay depends
very much on the way Il has been
cured. Half It's value may be lost by
cutting the clover ut the wrong time,
and In not giving the proper attention
TO the curing Of II. II II is desirable to
take more than one crop of during the
eason the first should be mown while
the blossom Is forming, and, in fact, the
best time TO cut clover, either for q sin
gle or double crop, is when II Is nicely
in bloom, and just before II assumes a
brownish hue. Some claim that the
clover cures much qui cker II not cut
until IL has passed out Of blossom. but
II Is enough better when cut earlier TO
more than repay the extra trouble there
may DO In curing II. And II the first
growth be allowed to stand until the
blossoms have turned brown, the subse-
quent growth Is liable to be small and
poor.
As 10 the best time OF day 10 cut clov-
or, opinions differ. We have e Ms
good results from cutting IL In the MORN
Ing after the dew Is of, ms at any time.
Others prefer to cut IL quite late in the
afternoon and let II lilo on the ground
over night. and rake Il up and make
into cocks during the next afternoon,
when II may be left two or three DAYS,
then stirred up and hauled TO the barn.
The objection Is that the weather Is not
to be depended on at that time OF the
year, and II q sudden shower should
come up just before tho hay was ready
TO cock. and when Il was partially cured
Il would turn II black and perhaps make
II musty. at any rate neccssitating much
extra labor.
II the clover Is cut In the morning and
raked and cooked late In the afternoon.
there Is less risk Of It's being damaged
by rain. Stir and shake Il out the sub
sequeut forenoon, and II there Is time,
pass over IL again rapidly Just after din
ner. and Il will be ready to haul In ut
once. The more II can be cured iu the
cook the better Il viii be, however.
Many farmers M troubled with the
clover heating In the NOV, owing Of
course 10 It's being drawn In while YET
there were juices In tho stalk, or damp
ness upon the leaves. II Is a good plan
TO mix II with straw In the NOW, having
alternate layers Of each. The straw
viii absorb the moisture nom the
clover, and prevent It's heating and be.
coming musty. II win also be readily
eaten by stock In winter. and even In
straw there Is more nu,riment than Il
generally thought. In the dry state,
oat and rye straw are not very easily
digestible, but this'is overcome In mix.
ing Il with clover. as suggested. and Il
then becomes a valuable foddsr.-M T.

Saving Manure in summer.

There are different modes Of saving
manure the materials for which accrm.
mulate on the farm. The common or
careless farmer throws out the clearings
Of his stables and allows his cattle TO
run in the yard. their droppings and the
stable manure being washed away BY
the rains, and all the liquid portions
wasted except such as may be accident
ally absorbed by the straw and litter.
Others, moro careful. secure the liquid
manure by means Of cutters In the sta
BILE floors, or by the use Of enough litter
aud %absorbents 10 prevent lis waste.
II much straw Is employed the manure
heaps are left exposed TO rains; II there
Is but little litter the heaps are shell
tered to prevent washing. Thee va
rious modes OF treatment are mostly
confined TO the accumulations during
winter; but to obtain the largest
amount, the required care should be
continued through the whole year. Too
often q waste Of materials Is permitted
In summer. The amount of manur
might be greatly increased by saving
all that may be had the year round.
Compost heaps may be formed for So
curing liquid rs well as solid matters
that are often permitted TO become lost.
Housekeepers are sometimes puzzled TO
know what 10 do with the various 70
fuse substances nj house-cleaning. and
straw-beds have been actually emp,icd
Into the public streets. Weeds from
the garden share the same destination.
The tops Of cmly potatoes are left scat
tered over the ground 10 the annoyance
OF the future plowmAn. instead OF de-
voting them to the manure heap. To
these may b. added the scraplngs Of
cutters and bitches. door-yard les<es,
waste from the kitchen, bones and fish,
the daily clcanings Of the pig-pen. pea
vines. yault-cleanlngs which have been
mixed BY daily additions Of coalashes
or road-dust and droppings from the
hcn-houss; and then throwing over this
compost medley q sufficient amount Of
slops and other liquids topromote some
fermentation; and In a few months tho
heap may be worked over after some
decomposition has taken place.
Quito coarse and apparently unprom-
ising materials may 30 converted into
finely ~pulvcrized fertilizers BY Q Of
some fermentation. and working over
after rotting together for some months.
In this connection, and for illustration.
the mode by which fine manurc IL some
times made for the nicer gardening
operations. may be alluded TO. The
various coarse and fbrous matters. OF
common manure, Il alternated In layers
with road-dust. turf. lcases. etc, and
made into = square heap like the an

Photographing an Elephant.


An exciting scene took place ct
Cross's geological establishment, In
Earl street, Liverpool, a few days ago.
Mr.. Cross wished TO have his elephant,
Jumbo H., photographed. Several pho
%tographers declined to do Il, being
afraid to face the animal; but ut last
Messrs. Brown, Barnes Il Bell under
took the task. Early in the morning,
before the place was open to the public.
the elephant. which Is always chained
up with a heavy anchor-chain, was un-
fastened and let out In the yard, but
when he saw the camera directed towad
himself, and the photographer manipu-
lating Il and looking at him through II,
he got excited. and with one blow Of his
trunk he smashed the apparatus, and
was ready to deal a second blow at the
photographer. when some Of the staff
Of the menagcrie rushed to his assist.
nee and succeeded in restoring the
animal to his normally docile condition.
On being assured that the elephant
would now keep perfectly quiet, the
photographer commenced his work
again with another camera, and, after
several attempts, succeeded in obtaining
n good negative. st. James Gazette.

Playing Il on the Cut. Worms.

Mr.. John Minor thus describes IN the
Nep England Homestead how he played
a Yankee trick on the cut-worms two
years ago: had nearly four acres Of

early plants and the first week In June
| set about four thousand plants. The
next morning l saw that the worms
were eating them badly. 80 | and my
three boys went 10 digging worms, and
we found from four to eight worms In
every hill. Tho next day we went
through II In the same way. and found
q large number OF worms, but not as
many rs the first day. The third day
We went through 10 again. finding large
numbers Of worms, while there was
scarcely a plant left on the piece. Nv
boys were almost discouraged and
thought We had better give up the crop,
and did not blame them. But I told
the boys that l was going TO play those
worms a Yankee trick. Just at night I
went into the woods and got several
kinds Of leaves and put them on two
rows through the piece. The next morn

Clover Bloat.

An Iowa man says he has found the
following a n~ever-failing cure for clover
bloat: Take a large rope or stick (any-
thing to keep the mouth open), insert II
In the mouth, fasten over the horns In
order TO hold II In place. In fifteen
minutes the bloat will have disappeared
by the escape Of gas from the open
mouth. A Michigan farmer says that
this peculiar disease. caused by eating
green clover when wet with rain or dew,
may be prevented by placing n quantity
Of either hay or straw In the field where
stock may have ready access to the
same, which they-will readily resort TO,
and which will absorb and n~eutralize
the dangerous gases so that no harm
will result. He also states that a very
effective remedy for stock suffering from
such cause Is a cold-water bath plenti.
fully applied by pouring over the backs.
or where n stream or pool Is at hand oil
sufficient depth TO reach the animals
sides. they should be driven In at once,
when the bloat will be Immediately dis.
sipated. The farmer with bloated cat
tie may take his choice Of cures.
