Some Facts About Cutting liny. Prof. \V. 11. .lonian, of the Penn sylvania Agricultural College, gives ] in the American AyrlruftiiniliM for . June, a series of experiment* bearing upon the lest tini* for cutting hay. We extract tlie following : Now there nre two statements that, ran lie made with all assurance of j their correctness : 1. No part of any food that is not digested is of any j nutritive value, 2. Hay from early , cut grass is more digestible than hay J from late cut grass. As sulkstantiat- j ing the latter statement, I give the result of an experiment with sheep, using hay from grass cut at three fieriods of growth. Out of 100 parts of the various ingredients fed, the table shows the number of parts digested. Tlm of Nllr*. CrwD Oiho OsH tig. Siil"*t*nr.. Vint. Flit*. Co, Fl w, ion Ji. R.i wi ~c. sr. Jnii* 'il. 04 *2 ' rq H Jnn- Wh I* I M Tlic mere fact of superior digesti bility is no evidence of superior food value, only so far as it shows that whatever may be the difference in the comjioaition of the three kinds of hay, the ingredient* of the early cut can le more completely used than is the case with that cut at cither period inter. We have as a conqiensnUon for this decreased digestibility as grass matures, the production of a greater amount of material and a possible change of certain com pounds of nitrogen into the albumi noid form. Undoubtedly this com pensation, especially fYom tho former . source, more than balances the do crease in digestibility where grass | HtandN no later than the period of bloom, but beyond that time it doea not acorn na if such can possibly be the case. The matter of palatabiiity is one not to be ignored. In an ex periment on feeding early and late cut hay, now being carried on at thia college, it is found possible to get 20 pounds of the early cut bay eaten where oidy 12 pounds of the late cut are consumed. The former was cut in bloom, the latter two weeks later. ***♦ Certainly there are other consid erations than theories i have discuss ed, but if it were merely a question of quunlilv, quality, and so of nutritive value, it does not appear thut with our present knowledge it would la: wise for farmers to change what is now the average period of harvest ing hay, viz: ']<> rut it vhib in bloom. Farm Luxuries. I 1 I ID XPIFTL, IN FARM MU<) It is something to be wondered at, that so many farmers' families are so blind to, or, rather, so wilfully ne glectful of, their opportunities to have and enjoy many of the physical luxuries of life. We often see homes about which no fruit trees grow, and the garden, if there is one, is but little more than a patch of potatoes and a bed of onions, with ja.ibaps a l w forlorn-looking cabbages. This is not as it should be. Every f ruier's home should have a garden, and that a good one. i have worked | in the garden, and observed there-, ! suits to t>e obtained from it, enough j to be satisfied that at least one-third "f the living fur an ordinary family ran be raided from a garden of half an u'Tc. To do this, the garden must tie properly attended to. You would not put IIJ corn and expect it to take care of itself. You cannot exjieet vegetables to do what corn will not. You should see that the soil i-. rich enough to encourage and sustain a \ i irons, healthy growth. You should work it up thoroughly when you , make \otir beds. You cannot have j it too fine and light. After planting your eed. you should -eo that nil i weeds are kept down.

Clover Pasture for Hogs, We have never appreciated the imjHirtance of clover pastures for hogs as fully as we have this spring. We have visited a number of farmers who have clover pastures for their swine, and they eat the tender clover with great gusto. Indeed, they can make a good living and thrive rqion good clover, without other food, but an ear or two of corn to each hog per day, in addition, would lie a great help. Everything the farmer raises is cheap, and lie must produce it in the cheapest manner. Clover is tho cheapest food that can lie fur nished hogs. They do their own harvesting. There is no cultivating, picking, storing, feeding, or other work to be done. FODDER crop* do not sensibly di minish in digestibility by being made into hay, if haymaking is carefully carried out in good weather. But the loss of the flner parts of the plant by rough treatment, or the washing out of soluble matter by rain, may considerably diminish the digestibil ity. Hay appears to low some of its digestibility by long keeping. (loou hay means that the grass must he cut at the proper time and must be cured—not dried to a crisp in the hot sun. Growth of Hungarian Grass, Mfi rial Ut Uimk Ji.nn mi. Iking a shallow feeder, and natur al a rapid and rank grower, the young plant pushes forward vigorously, the roots extending quickly to occupy the fertile upper layers of the soil, now thoroughly warmed hy the sum mer sun, and not yet freed from mois ture, until soon the whole field be comes covered with vivid green. The close seeding causes the plants to crowd, and the rankness of its natur al growth appears in rapid extension of leaf and culm rather than in the coarseness of leaf, and the plants, mutually shading, become, to a slight extent, etiolated. Ho long as the nights are warm, the tendency to up ward growth continues until the height of about three feet is attained, w hen, in the natural course, the heads begin to appear above the leaves. If, however, the plant receives a check at an earlier season, upright growth in a large part ceases, and the heads ap l>oar. Thus a single cold night, when the plant is eighteen, inches high, has caused the appearance of the head, and has diminished .the crop at least one-half in some years. This fondness for heat, this endur ance of drouth, this rapidity of growth, all indicate the l>est soil for it i* a warm, dry soil, containing abundance of surface fertility. This great cropping capacity, three to four, or ev< n five tons per acre, shows that we can airord to give it manure and a choice of soil on the farm. This ra pidity of growth again shows availa hili'y s a catch crop ; and this adap tation is of peculiar value when, from any cause, there is a failure of the hay crop : lor then, after the fact is known (after the early hay is housed), a f< w acres of the sod can 1m- turned, thin crop can lie sown, arid an abundance of excellent fodder can, with certainty, IK; secured for keeping the stock of the,farm through winter. Pruning in June. \ f. t t •..]ltJ r iA i t J * ' We bare tried pruuinpr >" almost , all months of the year, anl on the whole prefer June. This being about the Inifiest month of the- year, there is usually little time for pruning, and so the favorite time is early in spring, and many of our old orchards, in i tin ir rotting limbs and decayed trunks, I war testimony to the mis [ chief wrought by ill-limed use of the saw and axe. Small limbs, an inch in diameter or less, can be taken oil :<t any time with comparative safety. | Hut the thorough pruning called for in a lung-neglected orchard is l*-*t dotn in the early summer.

Farmers generally understand the benefit* arising from cultivating Uie ground. Many a field of corn is brought through a hot. dry season successfully through the cultivation it gets. In dry tunes, more than at any other, the greatest benefit is de rived from the frequent stirring of the soil. Sometimes the ground will lwcotnc almost im|Hm trable, and a tain to soften the ground has to l>c waited for. The field, the garden, and truck-patch should be worked over after every rain as soon as it i* in proper order—"quick movement i* worth a good deal at such times." It is a great saving of time, labor, patience, wear and tear. The weeds are, or should be kept down before they grow, and the crop i* soothed and nourished by the moving of the moist, crumbling soil; and if the roots and spongiolca arc broken they heal rapidly, and their growth and extension is greatly facilitated. The wear and tear of plow points, bar rows and cultivators on hard, dry soils, especially if they le clay, is not duly considered, and the expense of keeping tools.

There ia good but ter in it. And last, but Tar from least, the work is all taken out of the farm bouse. ONE of the surest and best reme dies for preventing the ravages of the cabbage worm is pyrethrow, or Persian insect powder. Add two tablespoonfula of the powder to on gallon of water, and wash the plants, especially the tender.leaves just form ing the heads, twice a week. THE management of a crop after we have taken the trouble to grow it requires judgment, among the princi pal objects to be noticed being the fact that we roust cut the harvest at the correct period of growth.
