The art OF Hay-Making.

In cloudy woalher grass dries but
slowly and is Liable to DO stacked or
housed without sufficient curing.
Therefore the wisdom, when practi.
cable, OF cutting meadows in far
weather The preeantiou should al.
SO be observed of cutting only so
much grass at one time US can be
properly handled.
Grasses dry much more rapidly If
cut after the morning dew Is off than
they will if cut when the moving ia
done. Rapid drying Is an absolute
necessity whom tho best quality Of
hay Is desired. There IL nothing
that assists in quick curing moro
than a good toddori farmers who
have much grass to harvest will do
woll to provide themselves with so
valuable an implement.
Tho true art of hay making con.
aiats IN curing grass just up to the
point at which il will do to put into
the barn, and no more, in ordor to
arrest the loss Of sugar and starch
at the earliest possible momont.
Grass quickly cured is, other things
beng equal, moro nutritious than
grass longer exposed 10 shifting
winds and scorcbing sunshine.
Some farmers consider one good
hay day snfiioientln which to OK,
pose the grass before being housed,
while others require two, even three
days. Some prefer 10 let it lIo on
the ground just as it was left by the
mower others cure it IN tho win.

cock.
This difference OF practice in the
method Of curing results chiefly
from tho difference existing IN the
curing quality of the various grass

more readily chan herds grass, while
the common grasses require still
longer time than the herds grass
Timothy will dry sufficiently in one

relative to temperance reform. A
Mr.. James Irish. of your town, came
into our quiet village some days ago
and delivered lecture on temper
ance, which initiated a movement
resulting in the organization of q
Good Templar's lodge on Monday
evening. the. 18th inst. The organi-
zation starts out with charter men,

seems favorable for some good work
in this field. Mr.. Irish does not

it began to get little warm. Yes;
it actually got so warm that the snow
actually melted on the south side of

get scared for fear it was going to
break up; but on Friday the clerk
gave us another change, and in the
morning it began to snow, and before
10o'clock in the morning we had tho
widest day of the winter. It blew
perfect '.jimmycane.' and the snow
was piled up in drifts from two to
eight feet high, but at this writing it
is bright and sunshiny again. ,,
