The Best Time to Cut Grass,
There has been a diversity of practice
among farmers as to the best time to cut
grass for hay. At the New York State
Fair, last fall, the subject was discussed at
a meeting of agriculturists held in the
evening. The Genesee Farmer gives the
following report of the discussion :
Mr. J. Stanton Gould opened the dis
cussion. He took decided grounds against
allowing grass to get dead ripe before it
was cut. Professor Way's experiments
showed that grass cut just as the plants
were going out of flower contained forty
per cent, more nutriment than when dead
ripe. He was satisfied from his own expe
rience that it was better to cut grass early.
Timothy allowed to get ripe was no better
tkau rye straw. The seeds of hay do not
digest in the stomach. oow6 dry up when
fed on ripe hay. In regard to making hay,
he remarked that the object was to secure
ns much of the Dutriment of the grass as
possible. We could not secure the whole.
There was a loss in caring, and from fer
mentation, etc. The best way was to allow
the grass to wilt as rapidly as possible, by
exposing it to the air and sunshine. Four
hours of good sunshine and it is ready to
cock. It should not be exposed to dew
while spread out. It washes out the nutri
ment.
Mr. Van Alstine, of Columbia county,
cut his grass in the morning till 11 o'clock.
After dinner start the ruke and cock up the
hay. It was necessary, in the Valley of
the Hudson, to commence to cock early on
account of the dew. Allows the hay to
stand in the cock one day. Next day open
and draw in. In regard to the time of
catting hay, to be fed out on the farm,
there could be but one opinion. It should
be cut early. Barley 6traw is better than
over ripe timothy. But for market it was
necessary to let it get riper. It sells bet
tcr.
Mr. Brewer, of Tomkins, raised consid
erable clover seed, and consequently cut
his clover hay early. Thought there was
a loss in weight, but a gain in quality.—
Draws it in rather green. Has poles on
the bottom of his hay, so that there is a
circulation; puts the hay in loose and it
cures nicely. If it is very green some
times mixes a little straw with it in stack
ing. Timothy meadows mowed early and
the rowen allowed to rot on the ground will
improve greatly.
Mr. Van Alstine, in reply to a question,
said he puts four po'unds of salt to a ton of
hay when cut green. Thought a ton of hay
if allowed to get ripe would give only
fifteen hundred weight if cut green. If
allowed to get over ripe, it would begin to
lose weight again.
Dr. Gill, of Poughkeepsie, cuts clover
very early, and cocks in an hour in small
cocks; draws in next day. Hay cocked
green is not hurt by a shower as much as
hay cocked dry.
Several gentlemen spoke; all in favor of
cutting grass early.
Solon Robison, of New York, was asked
why it was that ripe hay was preferred in
the city. He said that the president of
the Third Avenue Railroad Company had
studied this subject carefully, and had made
experiments with different foods, and had
finally concluded that the best and most
economical daily ration for the horse was
sixteen pounds of corn meal and fourteen
pounds of ripe timothy hay The hay
was chaffed and moisted with water, and
the meal mixed with it. A little salt was
added.
In reply to a question, Mr. llobison said
that the timothy was so ripe that the seeds
would grow. In feeding trotting horses
the hay is given them uncut. In the sta
bles where the experiments were made to
which he alludes over one thousand horses
were kept.
The Cattle Plague
The United States Consul at Liverpool, j
under date of December 19, informs the
Department of State that the cattle plague
is stUl on the increase, both in England
and Scotland. He reports that the weelt
previous to his despatch the number of
cases was between seven and eight thousand.
He says that the disease is most alarming,
aad is causing the greatest anxiety and
sensation throughout the entire kingdom.
The Consul iniorms the Department
that some writers are contending that the
disease is a kind of small-pox, but from
his conversation with tho people, he ascer
tains that it is not well defined. As yet
no certain or fixed remedy has been die
covered.

Cheaper and better than you can do
By buying here a little and there a few.
Now as for Tin-ware, I've plenty of that;
Also, Lard Cans, and Presses for fat;
For jobbing or spouting you're just right,
If you cail at the Coffee Pot day or night.

For I've not had time to give you a list,
And now I'd like to sav still more.
