When to cut grass or young grain so as to
secure the hay in the best condition, is n
question of browning Importance 1t is a
mistake to allow the nutrilvc juices to as
cend from the stalk before moving, and it is
also mistake to think that because there is
a great mass ofsucculent stems, that it will
make rich, nutritious hay when cut The
time to cut, theoretically, is just at the time
when the juices Of the plant reach the highest
elaboration, and before the final conccntra-
ton into the seed occurs. Practically this
is fixed upon as the time when the seed is
midway between the "milk' and the dough"
meaning before the kernel gets too much con.
sistcncy.
Hay, to be good, must be sweet, not only
not mouldy, or sour, but absolutely sweet
Sweet hay cannot be made in II cold spell !;
the hotter the better for sweet hay just
the right hardness of stalk and approach to
dough in the seeds, is very desirable but
sweetness in curing must not be sacrificed
in favor of any other one point. Far better
Il little over hardness of stalk or maturity of
seed, than lack Of that sweet smell and taste
one can see the stock appreciate so highly

Those farmers who are constantly grumb-
ling because they cannot make both ends
meet, that farming don't pay, and are con
tinualIy threatening to sell out and engage
in some more lucrative occupation, may get
a hint fom the following excerpt, and profit
thereby if they have the faculty of making
the application. at is good profit to raise
100 bushels of whrat from ten acres, but when
it takes thirty acres to raise that amount, it
is raised at a loss. So it is with cattle and
sherp-you will see the thinking farmer max
ing fpur-year old steers worth from $50 to
$50 each, and his neighbours, at the same age,
not worth over $25 TO $40" His advice to
the latter is, IF his land is exhausted lie
should pow no more than he thoroughly can
manure Seed his clover and grass and let
it rest, and that field will not only pay well
for iilagr, but it will furnish manure, fright
~ managed, to make another field of the
same size rich also" And then keep it rich,
do not run ii with grain until again exhaust

EVERY YEAR.


Life is II count of losses
Every year;
For the weak are heavier crosses
Every year;
Lost springs with sobS replying
Unto weary autumn signing;
while those we love are dying,
Every year.
The days have less of gladness
Every year;
The nights more weight of sadness
Every year;
Fair springs no longer charm us,
The winds and weather harm us,
Tnc threats of death alarm us,
Every year.
There come new cares and sorrows
Every year;
Dark days ana darker morrowJ
Every year;
The ghosts OF dead loves haunt us,
The ghosts of changed friends taunt us
And dsappOintmcnts daunt us,
Every year.
To the past go more dead faces
Every year;
As the loved leave vacant places
Every year;
Everywhere their eyes will meet us,
In the evenings dusk they greet us,
And to come to them cntrcat us,
Every year.
you are growing old" they tell us,
Every year;
You are more alone, they tell us,
Every year;
You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year"
The shores of life arc shifting
Every year;
And we are seward drifting
Every year;
Old places, changing, fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher
Every year:
And its morning star climbs higher
Every year;
Earth's hold ON us grows slighter,
And its heavy burden lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter,
Every year.

An English ngriculturist announces, as
the result OF careful experiment and observa.
ton, the conclusion that where corn is drilled
from east to west the yield is much larger
than when drilled from north, to south, as
in the former case the sun can shine down
the rows, whereas in the latter case each row
makes II kind of wall which shades the
next row. There is so much common sense
in this that many will wonder why they did
not think of it before

Some time ago the King of Spain made a
visit to the Emperor of Germany and was
received at the German court with every
mark OF distinguished consideration. Later
he visited France and although courteously
treated by the President of the French re-
public, the people of Paris treated him with
exemplary indignity. The time has come
for Germany to return the call and the
Grown Prince of the Empire is on his way
10 Spain. Of course it is well understood
that this ceremony is irritating to France
and It is not by way of Paris, but by way of
Italy and the Mediterranean Sea, that the
Crown Prince journeys to Spain. Unques-
tionably he will have hearty reception in
Madrid for the Spaniards are delighted at
having made SO powerful an alliance But
all this is gall and wormwood to France.

THE Legislature of Wisconsin

IHE Legislature OF W lsc0nsln
passed bill during its last session,
making it illegal to employ children
under fourteen years of age in fac
tories. This act threw 1000 child
rem out of factories in and around
Milwaukee alone. These children
will now be obliged to attend school.
1t may look cruel to some to force
these children, who may to certain
extent help support a family, but to
them and the country at large it is a
benefit beyond estimation. TO put
children of tender years in the fac
tories and work shops is to raise up
a race of drudges, nobodies, perhaps;
owing to ignorance they may become
dangerous persons, and large num-
Der of them would; their minds
cramped and their strength stunted
by confinement at labor, when they
should be growing mentally and
physically for their own good and
that of the State.
