When to Cut Grass fol- Hay

The quality OF hay must depc d, pli-
marly, upon the character OF the grass
from which it is formed. No power Or
skill of man can make good hay from
poor varieties of grass. Man can make
the good poor, and the poor poorer than
it need to be, but he has no methods or
processes by means Of which be can give
to hay good qualities which the grass did
not possess.
Though the highest point of quality
which hay can reach is beyond the power
OF man to increase the degree Of excellence
which it will attain is subject to II great
deal of modification. In the quality Of
hay, as in other things, there is often q
very wide difference between the possible
and the actual. One OF the principal OF
the modifying influences is the time at
which the grass is cut. II this is either too
early or too late the best quality Of hay
into which the grass might have been
made cannot be Sc, ured.
S ,me went y-fve or thirty years ago
there was widespread movement in
favor of the early cutting OF grass for
hay. From that time to this writer's in
agricultural papers have been insisting
that grass should be cut early and, as q
class, farmers have followed their advice.
As compared with very late cutting the
moderately early cutting OF grass for hay
IT, fi.ia
stands too late much OF the nutritiVo
matter is formed into seeds. Quite d
proportion of the seeds are sheled in the
field or in the NOW, destroyed by mice,
or fill to be digested by the animals
which eat them. The stems become
woody and comparatively nutritious
and unpaiatable and many Of the leaves
are broken off and lost. In these ways
much of the valuable feeding material OF
the plants is lost.
But, while very late cutting involves
losses S, it is possible to go to an extreme
in the her direction and to lose still
more by too early cutting than would be
lost if the grass stood too long. The
writer knew a ma . who for some wears
managrd farm belonging to q to"n,
d d whose IDEAS regarding the early cut
ting ui grass f.'r hay were quite advanced.
This man always finished hayin9 much

and tn" neighhoring farmers was the
fact ,ha, while under his care the farm
did not yield nearly as much hay as it
did before he took charge OF If, or as it
has produced since he went away.
The advocatesof the very lriy cutting
of grass for hay assert that though
less quantity is obtained the quality is
so greatly superior that the value OF the

practice Of pruning must be gradual, OK
tending upward through d long course
Of years.
A preference is growing into favor
that trees should be set out among I'm
bcltcd pines and thin them all out in the
course Of time in promotion to the growth
of the grove. In 1877, noticed while
enjoying the hospitality Of Major Nathan

SQUARE chains, or l00 000' square links
make one acre.
In transplanting a tree from a nursery
a mark should be made on the body so
as to set it out precisely in its relation
to the cardinal points Of the compass, as
it originally stood; because the structure
Of the bark and fibre differ very much
from the north to the south side The
laminifcr0us COnCcntriC rings are nearer
each other on the south side and more
hardy and durable. However, it is a
paradox to observe that young tree
that has been injured by excessive cold
south side, the north side appears spongy
and more porous. When a large tree is
cut down and sawed up, the pith is OBJ
served to be several inches south Of the
center. There is no regularity in the dis

by long and protracted rainy seasons.
The annual growth of a tree commences
in the bark sap; a part goes to a dead

the most inrer ring Of the sap atrophies
into an outer ring of the hearts. Hence,
when a surveyor marks tree with a
scroll cutter through the bark sap and
into the wood sap, for many years the
figures and letters are seen outwardly
while the same display travels inwardly.
