WHEN 70 CUT HAY.
no Rule Can ne LaidD osva That Might
Not he Subject TO ln,portant
MOdtiacatsons.

As a general proposition it Is best
to cut hay just as it is blooming; but
this rule may be subject to modifca.
tions according us we want the hay for
feeding dairy COWS, horses or other
stock. For horses it is probably bet
ter to have the hay well along toward
maturity. Storer in one Of his books
says that one strong objection that
works against the early cutting of lay
is the tendency of hay made from
immature grasses to loosen the bowels
of animals that feed upon 1t. This
fact alone precludes the use of such
hay for working horses. All newly
made hay has a laxative and loosening
effect upon animals. Such hay cannot
be sold to the keeper of a livery stable,
because, as he would say, he has no
wish to soften down his horses. Horse
keepers are of the opinion that this
laxative quality of new hay endures
until the hay has passed through a
process of sweating, which occurs in
the NOW. No matter how dry the hay.
is at the time it is put in the barn, III
is held that it will always sweat some-l
what in the NOV. BY October the
process is completed, so that the hay
Is fit for use, provided it was ripe
enough when mown. But in the case
OF hay made from young grass. as
rowen, for example, the medicinal
quality persists, and such hay is
thought to be always unfit for horses
that are kept ut work, since it is apt
to weaken them, to make them sweat
easily, and to render them liable to
STUMBLE"
Such is the opinion of Storer. How
far 1t is borne out in the experience Of
western farmers is rnthcr difficult to
say.-Farmers' Review.

Nervousness. i'm Cow,.

To most people, the cow is the most
placid and least exoitable animal in the
world. When well fed, and not dis
turbed about her calf, uhc will lie and
chew the cud of contenfment for hours,
and while thus un%disturbed will Sc
crete all the milk possible from the food
she has eaten. Yet the domestic COW, il
she be a good mixer, has a capacity for
becoming nervous and excitable such
Ms the OK or spayed COW cannot rival.
At all times the first-class mich COW
must be a hearty feeder. So long as she
is given all she wants. she may be quiet
enough. But If PLACED in a pasture
where the food is insufficient or too
poorin quality, the COW will soon devel-
op rowing instincts, and will break
through fences iii order to get what She
likes. The COW that will not do this in
ease OF necessity is Of little use for the
dniry.-Midland Farmer.

GRADING up A HERD.
ProAts of the Dairy Farm
VIII Decrease.

The average farmer may think he
cannot afford to buy blooded stock, and
there arc plenty who confess this, but
where is the farmer who cannot afford
to grade up his stock by introducing q
fine -bull occasionally? The cost of n
fine bull is not so great to-day that the
average farmer cannot afford to pur-
chase one whenever the herd needs new
blood. But the man who is opposed to
fancy stock is usually on general prin-
ciples opposed TO grading up--that is,
in grading up where 1t will cost Il lit
tie, either in time or money.
There is no better investment in
this age than in a bloodcd bull which
will bring new life and power into q
herd Of cows that has been gradually
run down. Most farmers hate to admit
that their herd is running down. But
it is so easy for the animals to degcn-
crate that most of us are caught nap
ping. The degeneration is not the re-
suit OF sudden change. 1t on
gradually and before we know it we
wake up to the fact that our animals
nre not what they ought to be. To
avoid such degeneration n must be on
the watch.
The herd needs a ionic, so to speak,
or will go'down hill, and before we
know II the damage is done, and it will
require some hard work to recover the
lost ground. The beginning of all the
work must be with the bull. A herd
headed by a first-class bull can be made
to do wonders. But the process of se-
lection and wedding out must also be
observed. There will appear in every
herd now and then animals that have no
place there. They need to be killed off
or sold. Too much rigidness in this
respect cannot be observed. The lack
OF 1T is usually the crying need of our
dairymen. The cash sales of young
bulls from herds that have been proper
l.r graded will often more than pay for
the o $ OF a new bull occasionally

denly opened the door of her apartment

who had been working on the door with a

The incident. which would make a good
foundation for q parlor farce. happened

Mrs. Stearns remarked that their caller
was quite persistent in ringing, but stuck
to her intention of being .'out'' for the
afternoon. She thought no more abou. 1t
unul ten minutes later a peculiar scrap

some thief was attempting to get into
the rooms did not disturb the equanimity
of the daughter. who said she would go

a curious looking Jimmy In his hand fell
headlong into the arms of the young
woman. He was more surprised and con-

ststahee when she, grasped him tightly
by the lapal of the coat and demanded
to know What he was doing.
