GREEN BRANCHES AS FODDER
In tho Middle Ages Hay Was compar

Hay seems to have been little known
In the middle ages. Stock was win.
tered mostly on straw and leaves. Tus.
ser, who wrote in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, gives much advice to the
farmer as to the cutting and storing
Of green branches, which might serve
as fodder, when pasture failed. He
Is particular as to the desirability OF
saving the beech cuttings for the

thing would do. A miserable depend.
ence, it would appear to us now, but
then it seems to have been looked on,
II not as a matter of course, at least
thing practised by the more fore
handed and capable. There must have
been some natural meadows in Eng.
land, even then, but perhaps all their
produce was saved for the horses Of
kings. AS far as l can recollect, there
is no mention of hay in Shakespeare,
II we except Bottoms remark: Good
hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow" and
even that suggests its rarity. By
Millions time, hundred years later.
