MAKING HAY.
Tho Best Time to Cut Grass to Secure the
Best Hay.

Tho Best Time to Cut Grass to Secure the
Best Hay.
The dairyman needs hay richer and
more succulent In quality than the ordi-
nary stock breeder. He needs hay which
will sweeten his milk, and give char
acteristic spring-lilxe flavor to the but
ter. Everything nearly has been tried
TO make the right article of food for the
cows in winter, so that they can be in
duced to give good milk, which will
make butter of fine quality. The vari-
Gus mixtures now fed TO winter cows
are certainly superior to many of the
old-fashioned rations, but there can be
vast improvement upon the hay if it
is cut earlier IN the season.
The usual time for cutting hay is so
late in the year that nearly all Of the
juicy, succulent portions of it have es-
capped and cows will avoid it even when
1t is growing in the fields. They will
leave the patches of full-grown hay
alone, and search around for some
younger growths Every dairyman
knows what a difference the early
pastures have upon the milk flow, and
how later in the season. when the grass
becomes mature, the milk and butter
lose that first fine fragrance and SUI
perior flavor. All of this argues mat
grass loses much of its valuable parts
for the dairyman after it has reached a
certain stage Of maturity. We can not
ha, mazda f,.Oy,, c,,o1 tNh a
any better The fine quality in the but.
ter which fresh spring grass produces
can not be obtained in the winter from
cows fed on such overripe hay.
The cutting and curing of hay earlier
in the season will save for the cows a
great deal of this mysterious substance
which affects the milk so favorably
The hAyhg season for the dairyman
should not be the same as that now
adopted by general consent by farmers
who raise it for the markets or for gen
eral stock There is no special week
or month in which the hay should be
cut and cured, but each one must deter
mine it for himself. The cows will be
the monitors. When they seem to like
it the most, and appear to thrive best
on r., then is the grass in the height Of
its glory. 1t should be cut then, be
fore Il has time to lose this fine, succu
1 lent flavor This necessitates early
har resting, and it also demands repe
tition of it. Three cuttings may be OBJ
tanned from one field in season, OIL
two cuttings at the least. 1t is doubt
full then if there is any loss sustained II
quantity if two or three cuttings are
taken from the field
The dairyman to get the best winter
hay then should cut his grass before il
is headed or blossomed. No carrots OF
daisies will then be in it to reduce its
quality, and the stalks will be 81
sweet and tender that they can bt
readily masticated by the animals Al
is nutriment, and nothing stored in the
barn will be waste. Such grass should
be cured in cocks, and taken under
shelter as soon as the dew is dried of
it. The hay will be soft and sweet
smelling, and the effect it has upon tn,
milk and butter is truly remarkable
This may not be the best hay for stool
of general nature, but it is certainly
the ideal dairyman's winter fodder

Tho Names Of Foreirnera.

Anyone who mingles with the poor
immigrants who have come here from
Russia or Poland must be surprised at
their ignorance concerning the great
men of this country. Many Of them
stay here long time without ever
knowing the name of the president of
the United States, or hearing Of James
G. Blaine, or any other famous poll
tician. They find it very hard to catch
the sound of American names, and are
apt to pronounce these names in way
that would puzzle the owners of them
who happened to be unfamiliar with
jargon. If the names Of many of them
seem queer to Americans the names Of
many Americans seem still queerer to
them, and only fit to be laughed at

ARE FARMERS cRUeL9
Ponder the Question In Your Relation to
Your Dumb Animals.

Your Dumb Animals.
The habit of cruel treatment OF ami.
mails by wanton neglect is, and proba-
bly, will always be, a prominent char
acteristic of class of persons who were
reared in the belief that dumb brutes
are useless, except to obtain the largest
amount of labor possible during their
short lives, and at the least cost or
trouble.
Such persons are not far-sighted
enough to see that a horse, well fed,
well groomed and well stabbed, will do
more and harder work and live longer
than the poor brutes that are half
starved and left shivering in the cold.
No! the only thought of such shiftless
beings is to "save feed or "the price
of stall"
Now, this matter brings forth the
question, are farmers cruel? As single
class it can not be decided, but the farm
ers of this country can be divided into
two classes, viz. First, those who think
and act according to the approved meth
DDS for the best future results: and,
second, those who plod along and think
only of present expenses.
These two classes form the great con-
trast of successful and unsuccessful
farming, and it is the second class that
can safely be accused of cruelty to ani-
mails.
Compare the two. No. owns strong,
sleek horses that perform the labor re-
quired in a shorter time and without
firing. They are rewarded with ample
food good shelter and never harshly
spoken to. No. beats his horses, works
them till fatigued, and with a meager
allowance Of grain are turned out to
''rustle." The result is they work slow,
their bones show through the hide, and
they die while their neighbors' horses
are in their prime.
1t is the same with other stock; we'll
fed cows and good milk supply on one
hand, and little milk from cows that
receive blows and kicks, instead of
grain, on the other.
So it would seem that the intelli-
! gence OF the farmer is the point upon
which his treatment of his stock should
be based, as far as neglect goes, but the
man that is most responsible for ply
steal cruelty to animals is the man with
a temper. The one that whips his
horse for shying and jerks the bride if
the horse goes too fast. The one that
prods his cattle with pischforl for be.
ing in his way, or kicks dog for bark
ing. Such person should never
handle stock. He is the opposite of the
neglectful person, in that he acts as
though he expected the dumb brutes tc
know as much as himself and restrain
their natural inclinations.
Cruelty to animals is a field for great
reform and is the fit subject for the
laws of a nation.-Texas Farm and

color being dark slate, varying some
what with the manner in which it is
dressed capable of being modified in
degree by the introduction OF pig
ments thus rendering practicable imi-
tations of various colored brick and
sandstones. 1t is about the hardness

by the usual stone. cutting tools turned
in q lathe or planed. The tensile
strength is form $50 to 1900 pounds per
square inch and under compression
enanred from 5000 to 1900 pounds.
Its specific gravity is about 2,6, and it
melts at about 300 very slowly. No
deterioration occurs under exposure
to the wea her and as the material
can be melted and moldet, 1t is appli-

How Some Authors Prepare Copy.

The best authors send out the children of
their brain clad in fine linen, like the kings
daughter. Edith Thomas writes each Of
her dainty sOnnets in a clear, beautiful
hand, in the middle of a sheet of heavy
cream white paper. Andrew Lang's hand
is as pleasing as his verse-the hand of
gentleman and scholar Twenty years ago
Il. H. Stoddard, the poet, wrote the pretti,
est and daintiest of hands, and even long
days and nights of labor at The Mail and
Express desk, though his handwriting has
grown more illegible with age and failing
eyesight, have not robbed it of all charm.
Sarah Orne Jewett, Il most conscientious
literary worker, who seldom uses the type
writer, writes her delightful stories of New
England life in a clear, round hand upon
lightweight but strong paper of small note
paper size. She selects this small size pur.
posely, so that if there are any mistakes to
be corrected or interiinearioGs necessary
she can recOpy the sheet and throw away
the original without sacrificing too much
writing.-Emily A Thacl;r.y in New
York E.0ch.
