WHEN TO CUT HAY.
No Rule Can BE Laid Down That Might
Not Re Subject to Important
Qualifications.

AS a general proposition it is best
to cut hay just as it is blooming: bat
this rule may be subject to modiiic-.-
lions according as 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 lone strong objection that
works against the early cutting of hay
is the tendency of hay made from
immature grasses TO loosen the bowels
of animals that feed upon it. This
fact alone precludes the use of such
hay for working horses. All newly
made hay has 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, it
is held that it will always sweat some
what in the NOW. 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 at 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 it is borne out in the experience of
western farmers is rather difficult to

The Value of Warmth.

Both adults and chicks love warmth.
The hens will select the sunny spots,
especially if protected against the
winds Oh damp or cold days, while
even on the warmest days of July the
chicks viii nestle under the hen. Should
a heavy shower suddenly come up, and
the chicks appear dead, place them near
a stove, or in an oven of moderate heat,
and notice how quickly the apparently
dead chicks will come to life again.
Heat is the great life-giving element.
Should disease of any kind appear al
ways provide a dry and warm place.
There is no remedy for roup that equals
warmth, not that warmth will cure it,
but warmth invigorates the fowl and
enables it to withstand the ordeal

and Make Others Becoming.
Never mind how many Shops are SELL
ing ribbon bows and collars for next TO
nothing; don't think them common.
Collars are as pretty as they can be and
three Or four of them are very good
things to have in wardrobe They
give touch to a costume, freshen up
an old rig, and if n gown is perhaps
not just as becoming at night as it
ought to be, or as it is in the day. it may
be that all it wants is a little brighten
ing up. and little ribbon collar of the
right shade will do it. A cerise col
lar, for instance, will often make d
whole costume seem changed for the
better. There is another advantage
ABOUT these collars; the bows and the
collar length will adapt themselves to
other uses, as on hat, at the belt or on
the fan. Who is to tell that in the
extra loop is concealed a pair of hooks
and eyes.
On the finest of new dresses ribbon
trimming is plentiful and everyone
knows how general it is on hats; in
deed, the gay ribbons and the garni-
lures they make constitute one of the
most marked characteristics OF the sea-
sons dressing.

Oats for Young Lambs.

A healthy. thrifty lamb will very soob
require more food than the limited
amount which its dam furnishes, and
when not more than a week old will
begin to pick at hay or clover as it sees
its dam doing. This is an indication
that it needs additional food. Glover
hay is excellent, but it should be sup
plemented by feed of half a gill of oats
given morning and night There is nc
better nutrition for growing animals
than oats. 1t will enable them to eat
and digest other food and put them in
the way of being thrifty all the rest OF
their lives, until their teeth are toe
much worn by use to masticate well.

Queer Ammunition.

At Caloocan the rebels had mounted
two monstrous muZzle-loading guns
captured in former time from the Span
ish. They attempted to fire one of
these. with direful results. The Amer
leans collected the remains of 90 rebels
killed by the explosion of the gun. The
insurgents had not the courage to fire
the remaining cannon. which was
loaded and primed when Caloocan was
captured. The natives had loaded the
GUN with a complete curiosity shop.
The cannon was filed with scissors,
knives, coal, pieces of brick, nails,
bolts. a thermometer, a horseshoe, a
car link. piece of rubber hose, ard, to
crown all, a large quantity of hoop
iron had been driven into the muzzle
so tightly that it was necessary to file
IT before the charge could be drawn.
A double dose of powder was found,
and also a quantity of dynamite. No
wonder the other cannon exploded.-N.

Feeding cotton seed Meal.

Cotton seed meal is extremely diff.
cult of digestion, and should never be
given to young animals or those which
from advanced age have a weak diges-
ton. The hull, which is shown by dark
spots in the meal. is almost entirely in
digestible. Calves and pigs have been
killed by eating small amounts of dark
cotton seed meal. Ruminant animals
can digest it better, but it is so concen-
trated food that it ought always TO be
fed with some bulky but less nutritious
ration. A small amount of cotton seed
meal in pailful of bran mash can be
eaten safely by cow.-American Gull

A Fatal Month.

Statistics which have just been com,
piled seem to show that there is no
month in the year which is more fatal
TO illustrious personages than April.
Here, for example, is partial list OF
those who have died during that month:
Abelard died April 81, 1142; Marino Fa-
Hero, doge of Venice, April Il, 1855;
Raphael, April s, 1920; Bayard, April
30. 1924; Diane de Poitiers, April 22,
1866; Tasso, April 25, 1895; Shakes
peare. April %. 1916; Murillo, April 5,
1852; Mime. de Sevigne, April IS,
1890: Racine, April p, 1899; Nine.
de Maintenon, April Is, 1719; Buff
fon. April 16, 17Ss; Franklin. April
IS, 1890, and Riyarol, April 13, 1904. This
is rather an imposing array of names,
but the question is: Would it not be
possible to obtain an equally imposing
array of names of illustrious person
ages who died during another month of
the year? Persons who have given
some attention to the subject claim that
there is no month of the year which is
more fatal to human beings than an
other. and the statistics published are
not likely to convince them that they

The Letter Nj.

The Hebrew name of NJ was Mem,
water, and it is curious to note that
the original form of this character
in the most ancient manuscript is a
waving line, which, to the not too
particular ancients, represented wa
ter. BY some philologists the letter
M as used by the Phoenicians is sup
posed to have come from picture
representing the human face; the
two down strokes representing the
contour of the countenance, the V
stroke signifying the nose, the two
dots, long since disused, and stroke
beneath the V representing the eyes
and the mouth. The old Phenician
form of the letter does indeed bear
comical sort of resemblance to the
human face.
