Or. Noclker. the celebrated chemist of
the Royal Agricultural society. in treating
of the chemistry OF haymakiu-, says that
where all the conditions are favorable for
prompt curing there is practically no loss
of nutritive elements in the change from
grass to hay. When freshly cut. the rea-
tion of the sugar and frrmcniabr matter
to the water is such that al first no fer
mentaton is induced. As water j, los, by
evaporation. the percentage of sugar and
termentablc matter gradually increases
and il the process of curing is DELAYED or
arrested, there is likely to be- more or less
fermentation, followed by loss of nutri-
tive matter. If hay is exposed to rains
when only partly cured, there will be- some
loss in nutritye elements by the washing
out OF some of the soluble matter. 1t j.,
Away, best TO continue and complete if
possible the process of curing without i'm

New MONvn Hay.

What is there in the fragrance OF new
mown hay that surpasses in this occult
power almost all other perfumes Is it
that the very essence of imperishable vital
ity, the earth-mother strength and enfold-
ing love, is contained in the grass-the
patient, long-sutfering multitudinouS.
beautiful grass-which feeds the cattle.
and carpets the hills. and creeps to the
very edge of the roadside, and springs
up in the ruts and spreads its soft thick
covcrlet over the grave, OF our deada
Nothing else so rests the tired eve. So
springs back under the tired feet. When
the vagrant impulse awakens in our breasts.
the nomad instinct stirs, We are fain to 90
where the grasses wave and the old trees
lean lovingly over them.
The wearied man of business. hard
pressed with the routine of the counting
room, becomes boy once more if he can
but secure holiday in the time of making
hay. He goes into the field with buovant
step, and you hear his voice ringing in a
Joyous shout a he counts the rolling
swaths
How children love TO tumble i'm the hay.
and how detrauded they are of one of
childhood's chief delights if they never
know the glory of riding hOmeward to the
barn on top of the great bilowy load
To some of us older people the new
mown hay brings back the DAYS of the war
the four vivid, thrilling years when the
land was iull OF marching men. of banners.

battles were fought not when wntry rigors
bound the earth, but when the birds sang.
the lilies boomed, the apples ripened
apace, and on far Northern uplands the
farmers made hay.
To one household, perched in a crag of
the mountains, there arrived a great tri-
umph i'm one of those summers. Their
Harry had been made a brigadier-the boy
had risen step by step from the ranks. SO
brave, so manful, was the stuff i'm him.
Father came in from the hay field with the
letter that told of it in his hand.
The very young do not understand this
trick OF association. They have vet to
grow up TO the knowledge that souls re-
main young, though bodies change and
take on new impressions with years. They
perceive an old man, an old woman. and
sometimes smile at the sentiment which
seems to them to linger untimely in these
withered personalities. Not so. Youth
Is crude. Sentiment does not reach its full
flower till people have had time to live.
