 Hartford Courant's agricultural column :: Having often urged upon farmers the im- portance of having at least @ part of their moving fields in orchard grass, which ma lures so early that having in these fields may be done long before any other is ma tured enough to cut, was greatly pleased when at the farm of Congressman Simonds few days ago to have him show me one of the most perfect fields of this grass have ever seen, standing three feet high and ready for, the machine, while other grasses in fields near by would not be full grown for at least three weeks. Now here was 0 chance for week at having, then ample time to catch up with the hoeing that is so often neglected in the rush of having on some farms, where most of the hay crop natures at the same time. Early cut or chard grass makes the best of hay, either for horses or milch COWS.
 Brother Olcott at Manchester has been called "crank" by some of his neighbors in years past for trying to build up old moving fields by simply moving the grass and leaving it on the ground, for mulch and manure, and 1t seems that MT. Si- monds is in about the same fix. Orchard grass makes fine aftermath, so, in asking about the rowen crop, I was glad to have Mr. Simonds tell me that when fully ma- l tured it was cut and left on the field, and l there it is allowed to remain through the 1 fall and winter and is burned off in early spring. Some of the old farmers out in Canton think him ''little off, but MT. Simonds is happy, as he tells me the qatom tity as we'll as the quality of the hay on there can be no easier or cheal II way of enriching. our moving Selds.1 N .aSimonds told me of an old rl,11 - ns bought last year, up New eaot having proper half or facfilies 5<sather the scanty hay crop, it was cut and left on the fields with the result that he is to have big hay crop on all those old fields this year.
