USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT FARM

Out Grass for Hay for Cattle EARLY
md Make that for Horses Last
A Cheap Fencing Siachine-Handy
Barrow.

All grasses Intended to be fed to milk
cows or growing cattle should be cut
much earlier than those intended for
work horses, although the latter should
not be given dead grass under tie name
of hay. Many carefully conducted ex-
periments have shown the superiority
of early-cut hay. One made by Prof.
Jordan of the Pennsylvania state col
lege lasted 56 days. -Four steers were Sc
lected two being fed on early cut hay
and two on that which had been cut late.
After % days feeding they We're chang
ed, and the two which had been fed the
early-cut hay We're fed the late cut.
Those cut the early-cut gained 3.14 lbs.
and the other "a lbs per day, or 70 lbs
gains as 100 lbs of the late cut. A sec
ond experiment made at the same place
lasted three months, and, as less meal
was fed, showed still greater diifer-
ence in favor of the early-cut hay Two
head of cattle fed on early-cut hay gain
ed lbs per day, while those on late-cut
hay gained but S4.lbs or 80 lbs of the
early-cut hay made as much gain as 100
lbs of the late cut. In the first expert
ment each lot of two steers were fed
II lbs of meal per day: in the second,
two were fed lbs per day
The old saying: MAKE hay while the
sun Shines" simply means that the
grass should be turned frequently so as
to dry evenly and quickly. On the
other hand, it does not mean that it
should be left bleaching in the sun and
dew two or three days after cutting,
until it has lost nearly all that is good
for food and has become much as flax
should be for the brake. Never cut the
grass too young or before the nutritive
qualities are converted from a watery
condition. When cut before that trans
formation. too much of it will be lost in
drying and the remainder will sour in
curing. Every hay maker must have
noticed that clover cut before it is in
full bloom, o. timothy before the first
blossom, becomes very light when dry
which is evidence that there is little nu-
Timent III ii.
The proper time - commence cutting
rs as nearly as possible at the period of
Towering All Illuminating animals do
better on hay cut at that time, but
horses seem to prefer it made from
grass more advanced. Make the hay
for horses last In cutting the hay crop
start the mower as soon as the dew has
dried off in the morning. In short
time distribute the grass evenly with
the tedder that it may all reach the
same degree Of dryness. Cutting at
this stage will invariably give the most
palatable and nutritious hay for all
dairy cattle and sheep.-Orange Judd
Farmer.

A Remnant stiil Exists In the PamuniSey
Indians of Virginia.
The Pamunkey Indians, whose dis
tinction it is to be the only Virginia
tribe that has survived the encroach-
ment of civilization, have excited
the interest of the bureau of ethnol-
ogy, which has issued a bulletin
describing them. This fragment of
an Indian nation, which in early
colonial days, occupied "a great deal
of territory in the vicinity of Wash
ington. now consists of about 100
individuals. They dwell on GU
riously shaped neck OF land in King
William county, Virginia. The place
is almost entirely surrounded by
water, and to this fact is doubtless
due the continued residence OF the
Indians; very likely their survival is
due to the protection thus given
For century. says the Washington
Star, their number has continued to
be about the same. Jefferson, writ
ing in 1871, estimated the popula-
tion of Indiantown at 100. and Howe,
nearly seventy years later. placed it
at the same figure. No member of
the tribe is of full blood. While
the copper-colored skin and the
straight, coarse har of the aborigi-
nal American show decidedly in
some individuals, there are others
whose origin would not be detected
by the ordinary observer. There
has been considerable intermixture
OF white blood and not little Of
that of the negro. though the laws
of the tribe now strictly forbid mar
riage with persons of African descent
The Pamunkeys have a great deal
of race pride. Though they acknowl-
edge the whites as equals, they con-
slider the blacks as far beneath their
social level. Their feeling toward
the negro is illustrated by their re-
cent indignant refusal to accept Il
colored teacher. who was sent to
them to conduct the free school
which the state OF Virginia provides
for them. They are very anxious to
keep their blood free from further
mingling with that of other races,
and how to accomplish this purpose
is serious problem of theirs, mas
much as they recognize the danger
of too frequent marriage. within the
pale of consanguinity. The Pa
munkey Indians are not particularly
strong and robust, perhaps because OF
frequent marriages between rela-
tives. They are temperate, moral
and peaceable. There is good feel.

Run Dowa Farms and Their OwnerS.
There is a very intimate connection
between the land and it's owner. A run
down farm invariably tells a bad story
about it's owner and the testimony Of
the farm cannot very well be impeach-
ed. The owner may not always be at
fault Circumstances beyond his con-
troll may have compelled him to take
a course of action of which his judg-
ment does not approve. Nevertheless,
the fact that the farm is running down
indicates that there is something wrong
with the owner or occupant. Some
farms run down because of the bad
system of farming. In fact, in whole
sections the tendency of the land is to
depreciate in value. For example, eX-
elusive grain raising results in soil ex-
hauStiOD in whatever section of the
United States it has been attempted.
Among the first agricultural literature
which we remember reading was what
was then known as the Patent Office

known as the reports of the department
