Proper Time to Cut Grass for Hay.
Of late years, the attention of farmers
has been more directly called to this im
portant subject, through the agency of
many of tha Statt and county Agricultu
ral Societies. The Secretaries ol some of
these have caused large numbers of circu
lars to bo distributed among the farmers
containing a series of interrogatories rela
ting to practical matters pertaining to the
farm, Ac. Prominent among these ques
tions is the following: 4 At what stage of
growth do you prefer to cut grass to make
into English and into swale hay, and what
is your reason for your preference?'
In 1856, Mr. Flint, Sec'y of the Mns3. :
Board of Agriculture, issued circulars (con
taining the abore quoted queries,) to prac- ;
tical farmers all over the State. The re
plies from about one hundred and fifty
towns are, ' that farmers prefer to cut the j
principal grasses, timothy and red top, j
when in lull blossom; red clover, when 1
about half the heads are in blossom ; and .
swale grass, before it is ripe, and generally j
before blossoming, if possible, so as to pre- j
vent it from becoming hard and wiry.'
4 This question is unquestionably found
ed on a correct principle, the object of the
larmer being to secure his hay, so as to j
make it most like grass in its perfect con
dition. The nutritive substances of grass
are those, which are, for the most part, sol
uble in water, such as sugar, gluten and
other compounds. Now if this is so, it is
evident that the grass should be cut at the j
rime when it contaius the largest amount i
of these principles. From its earliest J
growth the sugar and other soluble sub- j
stances gradually increase till they reach !
their maximum per eentage in the blossom, i
or when the seed is fully formed in the j
coll. From this period the saccharine mat- j
ter constantly diminishes, and the woody j
fibre, perfectly insoluble in water and innu- I
tritious, increases till after the seeds have J
matured, when the plant begins to decay.
Of course, if the plant is not cut in the !
tlower, a great part of the nutriment of its ■
stems and leaves is wasted.'
The Secretary of the Maine Board of
Agriculture issued circulars among the
farmers of that State propounding a series
of questions upon practical matters con
nected with the farm. In the report of
1859, is found responses irom many farm
ers, in reference to the proper time of cut
ting grass for hay. A large majority of
them say that the English grasses should
be cut while in blossom, and clover as soon
as a portion of the heads have become uf
a brown color.
Says Mr. Sec'y Goodale, in his lleport, j
4 '1 he principal point to be inquired into in I
order to decide the best period for cutting. >
is, when docs grass contain the most nutri- :
uient ? And to this, no definite and pre- j
cise answer can be given, which will be j
alike correct in all cases, for the reason
that in different grasses this stage is not '
the same, being earlier in some than oth
ers ; but for a general answer, both theory
and the opinions derived from the experi- <
once of the great majority of intelligent |
and observing farmers' concur in the reply i
— 4 when in full blossom, or while the j
bloom is falling.' At this period most I
grasses have, so far as can be judged, oh-'
rained from the soil and from the atinos- !
phcrc, the greatest amount which they will i
have at any stage of growth, which is of
value as food for animals, and these exist j
it this period in the most valuable form, j
The changes which take place subsequent- I
ly are chiefly within the plant; a part of I
the starch, sugar, gum, albumen, Ac., soon ;
go to assist in the formation of seed, and
a part to constitute woody fibre, which is
indigestible and worthless; and so much as
is thus converted, is actual loss. Of hay
cut at a later stage, cattle will doubtless
cat less, and some infer from this that it
will 4 spend better;' but the true reason
why they eat less is, because the system
can digest and assimilate less. The actual
benefit derived from hay is in proportion
to the available nutriment contained in it.'
As far as our observation extends, the
prevalent opinion is, that more loss is sus
rained by late, than too early cutting,—
T hat grass is sometimes mown too early,
there is no doubt; but as a general rule,
the farmer had better err on the safe side,
nnd commence haying early, if he has n
large amount to harvest, even if he suffers j
some loss by shrinkage to the first !
mown. It gives him a better chance to i
' make hay while the sun shines,' for he i
has a longer period to secure his crop be- j
fore it is ' dead ripe,' and sometimes saves j
hiring help, when labor is at its highest !
pr.ee, and scarce at that. j
YYc have attended many auction sales ■
of hay, and almost without exception the :
early cut and well secured bay brought a i
higher price than that made from the i
same varieties of grasses, but not cut till j
the seeds had matured.
We think much might be gained bv '
sowing different fields, those varieties of I
grass seeds that mature at about the same j
time. The southern and western clovers ,
usually ripen before red-top and timothy
are sufficiently matured for mowing.—
Orchard grass, June grass, meadow fescue, j
and some other varieties of grasses, worthy ,
of cultivation, are fit for the scythe about j
the time the above named clovers are, and 1
o mixture of these would undoubtedly
make a better quality of hay, than the
clover alone. Jhe fields of such grasses i
could be cleared of their crops before the
northern clover, red-top and timothy would <
need cutting. These kinds, on well pre
pared lands, frequently yield large crops
of excellent hay, if cut at the right period,
and made mostly in the cock. Some farm
ers object to the culture of the northern or
pea-vine variety of clover, on account of
the size and coarseness of its stems; other
farmers entertain different views—we
would refer our readers to two notices of
this variety of clover, at pages 17, and 75.
present volume of the Co Gent.
Iu our own experience with this variety
of clover, when cut in blossom, and mostly
made in the cock, we find our cattle to be
fond of it, and they eat the entire stalks as
they do of the finer grasses. There is an
other variety of coarse or large grow ing clo
ver, that is highly recommended by some
who have grown it somewhat extensively
—it is the Swedish or Alsike clover. Like
the northern, it makes a large growth; its
blossoms are white, and its duration in the
soil is much longer than the red clovers.
For, seed, the first crops of thee should
be saved. The aftermath or second crop
does not, like the smaller varieties, produce
seed worth saving.
Of the different methods of curing hay,
wo may have something to say in a tuture
paper. —7l. Ji. in the Country Gtntlc

fully established as the raost universal family
medicine now in use, and they will maintain
their pre-eminent renown by the intrinsic and
comprehensive virtues which acquired it. The
usual modes of puffery would be unworthy of
them and is unnecessary. Thousands and tens
of thousands of persons now living in perfectly
restored health can testify, as thousands have
testified, to their prompt and decided efficacy
not only in all ordinary derangements of health,
from Impaired Digestive Functions,Costiveness,
Bilious and Liver Complaints, Rheumatic and
Inflammatory Colds, Coughs, Nervous Weak
ness, Loss of Appetite, Failure of Flesh. Head
ache and Impure Slate of the Blood and other
