farmer's gepttawut. Early Cutting of Hay. Rome years ago I cut some very good timo tliy grass before harvest, and before the bios- BOIUS had eiilialy falleu off. It was cured in the very best m inner, and placed in a mow to which I could at any time have access. After harvest, ami when the seed had became so ripe as to shell out considerably, I cut the same kind of grass in the same field, and placed it in a separate mow. At a favorable time (in the following winter) for making a fair experiment, I carried out to my lmy from the mow iu which 1 had stored tha which had been cut while green, (before hart ▼est) and fed to each a separate parcel. After they had fairly commenced feeding upon it, l enrried to each a parcel of that which had been cut after harvest, and frotn which the seed shelled when it was handled. In every instance the cattle immediately quit the"bcau tiful green hay," and ate up, clean, that which was cut after harvest, before again touching the former. Indeed, in many instances, they threw front their mouths the green hay, the sooner to get at the other. I repeatedly tried the same experiment, and the result was the lame in every instance. The reason of the preference shown by the cattle for the hay cut it f'tr h i rest, I suppose to be thi : i wai nn h more easily masticate I, and sweeter in flavor than the other ; that it retained, in the stems, leaves and seeds, all the nutritive matter which it possessed when green, and probably with some additions, derived from the earth and atmosphere, over and übore that of the green hay. The green, early cut hay, although it retained its green am] beautiful appearance, was tough and difficult to masticate ; and very probably the crude and nnelaborated sap acquired an acid and bitterish taste which was disgreeable to the palate, and deleterious to the health of the cattle. He this as it may. the experiments fully satisfied me that the cattle were most fond of the later cut hay ; that they would eat more of it, and keep in hotter condition upon it than upon the earlier cut green hay. I have not -o perfectly experimented in regard to horses and sheep Hut 1 have observed that they always made the same choice with the cattle, when opportunity offered : no doubt for the same reasons. .1 If. 11.

Every farmer and gardener should have a supply on hand, to meet the many uses to which it may be put. Mr. George Trowbridge, of Camden, X. V., concludes a long article on the use of arable soils and the use of plaster, iu the following manner : 1. That the atmosphere is a constant source of food for plants. 2. That the most available agent for secu ring the benefit of this food for plants, is plas ter. 3. That, viewed in this light, the value of plaster in agriculture can hardly be overrated. 4. That is may be safely recommended for general use on ail soils containing a portion of fermentative matters, and not so compact or wet as to prevent the process of exhalation or absorption. 5. That it should always be applied to the surface of the soil, or at least within the in fluence of that atmosphere. 6. That it should be sown at an early date in the season, before the period of the moist abundant d'.ws and exhalations has commenc ed. 7. That it should always accompany mnnnr s used as a top-dressing, or only slightly buried in the soil. 8. That it should be liberally employed about our barn yards, stables, vaults, manure heaps, compost beds, and not, however, in compost, under the supposition that it would hasten fer mentation of the mass. Davy has refuted this opinion by direct experiments. The proper quantity to be used broadcast npon the fields, has been decided experience, nsalso by chemical science, to be from one to one and a half bushels per acre.—( Maine Far seer. How TO MARK A BARN YARD. —The best way, in my o; pinion, toforma barn-yard for tlie preservation of manure, without its becoming muddy, where the ground is higher than some of its surrounding parts, is to plough and scrape from the centre t< the outside, making a gra dual deasent fom the outside to the centre.— Let the fall be one-half foot in ten, nnd lulling a little more as you near the centre. Dig a drain yard, where you can construct a vat to put in leaves, sods, muck, etc., that will absorb and ritain the liquid from the yard. The bot tom and sides may be formed of plank, or may be more substantially built of stone and mortar The top of the vat should be made so as to guard against rains and surface vyati r as much as possible. The drain should fail cousidcra bly, and should be made of piauk eight inches high and one foot wide inside. The head of the drain should be covered over with a good strong iron grade. The yard ought to be well paved with cobble stone, and with a little pains you can always have a dry yard. The water from the barn and sheds should never be. allowed to run into the yard, but should be carried by good cave troughs to a large cistern for the purpose of watering the stock.— [Ccr. Rural Aft u> Yorkir. To DESTROY THE WHITE DAISY.— I have read the inquiries of your correspondent as to the liest mode of subduing the white daisy, in answer to- which I will siy I have found pas turing with sheep effectual ; they will devour the blossom-, which, in a few years, will put an end to ihe weed. By the way, it is an economical way of pasturing sheep, by alterna ting with other stock this way, one week to to cows, horses, young cattle, Ac., the next week the same lot to sheep, and the third week the lot be vacant to recruit :so by the use of three lots more can be pastured than each con tinued in the same lot. and the cows, Ac., be on fresh feed ail the time.
