FEEDING SOFT FOOD TO HENS, To keep a hen in good condition for laying, she should never have a full crop during the day. It is not wrong to give a light meal of mixed food, warm in the morning, in the trough, but such meal should be only fourth the quantity the hens require. They should go away from the trough unsatisfied, and should then seek their food, deriving it grain by grain, en- gaging in healthy in order to obtain it, and insuch circumstances one- eXOreiIse giz- ' | from the erop to theg the food will be pass ed into the zard slowly and be better digested.

Can of conntry, CURING MAY 80 much depends upon climate, sun- shine and wind that no definite rules can be laid down for cutting and cur- ing hay.

There is no mois- { ture on the grasa at this time, and it is 80 late that it not wilt at all that night, and therofore is not in- jured by the dew. The next day after the dew is off it should be tossed twice by the tedder, and, after it is thor- oughly wilted, it should be raked up and put into good sized shocks, cov- ered with waterproof hay caps to pro tect 1t from dew or rain, and left to cure. Exposure to toe sun for a fow hours just before drawing to the barn will complete the proces, The common mistake in making hay is usually allowing it to lie in the hot sun too long. The best hay is made | by air curing rather than by the sun | drying. As far as possible hay should | be cured in the bunch. It may be does erly believed, provided it is fairly wilted and contains no extraneous moisture. If allowed to sweat before drawing it will rarely heat in the mow.
