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. S eneri Co.—

PLASTFR OF PARIS. —We have frequently
recommended the liberal use of Plaster of Paris
on our farms and gardens. 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.

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. Z. A. L— Country
Gentleman, March IS.
A HINT FOR THE SEASON. —The simplest and
be<t way of preserving woolens through the
summer from the destruction of the moths, is
to warp tiiun well up, after brushing them
and beating the woolen, cotton, or linen clot Its.
The moth can pas- neither. T--o covers well
wrapped around, and secured from the air,
will be effectual. An o'J >hoi' will answer,
