TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Curing Hay.


1t is not we'll to let grass lie too long
in the blazing sun, after it is cut, says the
Lioe Stock Journal. This rapid drying,
especially when it is carried to the point
of making the leaves crumble and rattle
off in the form OF dust and chaff, as in
olden time was thought by many to be
necessary to make hay keep we'll in the
NOW, results not only in loss by waste,
but expels somew hat the life and nutri-
ment of the hay. 1t is well-known that
herbs cured in the shade are better than
those that are sun-dried. It is the same
with grass or other fodder plants. But
it is impossible to make hay in the shade,
and it is a good deal of extra work to
cock it up. 1t can, however, be thrown
into windrows without extra work. A
good plan is to rake up the hay as soon
it is thoroughly wilted-that is, while
it is in moist, pliable condition-and let
it cure from internal heat instead of from
the direct rays of the sun. Of course,
the surface of the windrows will be ex-
posed to the sun. but all below will lie
curing in the shade. Of late years it has
D0Cl lOuuu lQuG IL Is uOL uCCCSSuly w SCI
hay "bone-dry" before placing it in the
NOV in order to have it keep we'll. If it
is so dried it will not remain so. 1t will
draw moisture from the atmosphere to re-
place what has been need :essly expelled
by exposure to the hot sun. In short
time it will feel quite moist to the touch,
and it will undergo the sweating process
Just as hay pnt up in moister condition
does. There is not very much gain, if
any, in starting the mowing-machine be-
fore the dew is off. This extra water has
got to be dried of, and will disappear
sooner if the grass is left standing. When
thus dried, and nothing but the juices of
the grass are to be disposed of, the wilt
ing begins at once, and if followed up
by the hay-tedder, few hours of sun
shine will put the hay into condition
6t to rake into windrows, as we have in
dicated.

The Baby.

The baby's second summer7 Every
mother knows what that means. The
poor little pilgrim has already found the
earth place of tears and pain. Those
teeth, coming so fast, and as they come,
occasioning so much disturbance in the
fragile little frame, what a source Of
peril and irritation they are to the baby
and of anxiety to his parents! Keep the
baby in comfort. Dress him loosely and
simply, with soft, thin woolen garments
next the skin. Give him sponge bath
when he cries uneasily and fretfully.
See that there is no cha6ng of the soft
flesh, and that no pins are pricking him
in unsuspected places. Let his food be
properly cooked and given at regular in
tervals, and attend to it either yourself,
or let it be prepared by trustworthy
person. Let the little one be out Of
doors much of the time, and if he is i'll

Tuberculosis

This appears to be as insidious a dis
ease among bovine animals as consump
tion is among the genus h'mo; and how
far the prevalence of consumption in the
human family may be due to tubcrculo-
sis among the cattle that supply US with
meat ard milk, we do not know. It up
peares to be quite certain, however, that
the disease is transmissible through the
meat and milk, and that it is therefore
more to be dreaded, for this reason, than
8 pleuro. pneumonia.
The fact that the entire herd of the
Maine Agricultural College Farm had
tuberculosis to such an extent as to call
for its utter destruction, has set m my to
thinking, and called out many express
sions of opinion on the SUBJ In the
american Veterinary Reoiep, the editor,
DR.. Liautard, Dean of the American Vet
erinary College, says: ''Tuberculos.s is
not contagious pleuro- pneumonia, and
vice versa. One disease is perhaps no
more desirable to have among our cattle
than the other; but if the public should
adopt the opinion that the contagion of
pleuro- pneumonia exists in Maine, even
if confined within the limits of the Agri-
cultural College Farm, 1t might create
an alarm which would result in a demand
for extreme sanitary measures, which,
after all, might be quite unnecessary.
We believe Maine to be free from pleuro-
pneumonia, and she onght to defend her
coed reputc in this particular"
But it seems Maine has tuberculosis.
and the doctor tells us " one disease is
perhaps no more desirable to have among
our cattle than the other!s He further
tells us that "Maine, Massachusetts, New
York and New jersey, besides other re-
gions, are reported as having herds OF
tubcrculous animals, among which are
many of high value, including bulls and
COWS of the Jersey families.
The question naturally arises, what are
we to do about it? What is the cause OF
the development of this disease? How
far the breeding for speciality, throw
ing the system of the animal out of bal
ance, optratcd to develop tuberculosis
Where is the spread of the disease to
stop, and what is there being done to
check its further development? Really
nothing at all, so far as we know. 1t will
probably 90 on, as consumption docs in
the human family. No notice will be
taken Of it until the animal is ready to
drop dead, and then perhaps the remedy
applied at the Maine Agricultural Cos
leee Farm will be resorted to.-Lire
