The Hay Crop.
ITS QUALITY THIS YEAR —SALTINO HAY—MIXING
STRAW WITH HAY.
Our liny cutting; tlii* year is ! ito, owl from
its extraordinary rank growth iu tlie mouth of
.luiic, considerable portions of it m iy be over
grown, washy—that is lacking substance,
nnd nutritions quality. Grass thus rntikly
grown should stand longer to fully mature its
sap, and lit it for substantial fodder, then when
equally grown under fitting alternations ol
sunshine and rain. E*peeial care is required
to examine that, it be thoroughly cured—not
dried —before going into mow or stack, as,
witliout such precaution, much that is appar
ently cured on the outer surface, is still dump
and green within.
Many hay cutters have a fancy for salting
it as it is thrown into the mow or stack, and
the expediency or benefit.of thus using salt is
still an undecided question with many excellent
farmers. We have tried salting, but we con
fess, with no decided opinion of its advantages
Two or three or even four quarts on a ton ap
pears a small dose to preserve hay too damp
to keep otherwise. As to any goo Ito cattle
to daily partake of salt with hay, even if so
thoroughly distributed through as to affect it
alike we have some doubts, believing by long
experience that a tablespoonful or so of sab.
once a week or fortnight, is all that a full
grown ox or cow requires, and that it is, per- ■
haps, better so fed, than if with their daily ;
food.
Those who are putting up hay for their own
use, and have old clean straw on hand, if their j
hav be imperfectly cured, can profitably inter
mix layers of straw with the hay. when thrown '
into the mow or stack thus preventing mold.:
The straw absorbs the superfluous moisture,
and it also gets a flavor from the grass, thus ,
making the straw a palatable fodder. We ,
have practiced this with derated adcant. ge t i
and commend it strongly. ,
We have also found rank water-grown hav,
like that of this season, less kindly to cure in
the winrow, or cock, as recommended in our
last number, than that of ordinary season*. —
Spreading, therefore, that which is hand-mown :
should be looked after. In such a season sis ,
this, particularly, the benefit of the mowing
machine, iu this regard, is apparent.
SHARE TREES IN PASTURES.— 1 confess to a
very warm love for trees. I love them in the
forest, stretching their tall trunks towards
heaven ; I love them 011 the lawn, affording n i
welcome shade from "Summer's noontide rav,"
when wearied with toil, I return from the field
and I also love noble trees, scattered here and
there over the farm, grown in the majestic
symmetry of nature in whose refreshing shade
our grandsires sat and looked over the scenes
of hard-won, but bloodless victories gained
over the stubborn soil. Generations of cattle
have reposed contentedly in this shade, and
what sweeter picture of rural repose can then
la; than when looking over broad fi'dils, we see
'.he flocks taking refuge f"om a Summer's sun.
under the wide-spreading boughs of some an
cient elm, oak, or maple. And yet we are to'iL
that this is all wrong ; that all those grand
old trees which (thanks be to their sen-c of
the beautiful) our fathers left standing when
they felled the mighty forest, must nil be level
ed to the earth leaving but an unsightly stump
as a monument of departed glorv ; and horse
or ox, with 110 retreat from the burning rays
of a Summer's sun, forced to wander in agony
over the field, eating, pcrhiqw because he does
not know what else to do. I don't wish harm
to iny one, but I would like to sec Hon. Mr.
]) who was the lirst to mount this hobby,laid j
out in the sun some July day, when heaven
and earth seemed lilied with fire and if he did
not, soon wish for some of those trees he sent
Ids foreman to cut down, I would yield the
point. Hut seriously are we to have u<> eye
for the beautiful ? Is the almighty dollar
always to bound our vision ? If we plant our
lawns with trees, and endeavor to show our
taste in their arrangement, why not carry out
the same plan over all the farm ? We often
admire the stately proportions of an oak, an
elm, or a maple, at a distance liioie than close
at hand, because we can then take iu their
whole beauty of proportion at a glance. No
farmers ; do not as you st e your flocks and
herds begin to seek the cooling shade, in the
ieafy month of June, sa'ly forth, ax in hand,
and felt to the earth your beautiful trees. I
am one of those who believe that the stomach
of an ox rcqurires rest as well as that of a man
and that titan might as well cram himself from
iu irniug till night, as to required it of ids dumb
beast. Indeed, when we consider the system
of the ox, that lie eats quickly, and that a
period of repose is absolutely necessary, that
lie may chew it over again, the idea of com
pelling li>m to stuff himself continually is sim
ply ridiculous. Thus would I say to the
graziers, spare the trees.
WHITE DAISIES— The prevalence of white
daisies on a farm is generally considered a sign
>f bad management. Iut let us not be too
fast in our denunciation of this weed, or of the
farmers who do not exterminate it. Sheep
relish it highly and though horses and caitie
tarn away from it while green, they take to it
kindly when tnnde into hay Then, there are
certain dry, sandy soils, where Timothy and
clover grow with difficulty, and suffer in time
of drouth, but on'wkich the daisy flourishes
well. Now, if the owner of soph kind has not
the means or the time to enrich it ail at once
why should he not make the best of the ease,
and let the daisy have the largest liberty ?
As to allowing the plants to go to seed, and
scatter over the neighboring lands, we give no
soch advice.
If one desires it, really sets about it r the
daisy is not difficulty to eradicate. Turn in a
flock ( f sheep, rn Spring, upon a field infested
with it and after tUev have cropped it quite
short, break up the land and devote it to a
heavy crop of oats and daisies will almost
disappear. Or, give tl>e ground a good manur
ing and devote it to meadow, and the luxuriant
grass will choke it out. Or, raising any hoed
crop upon the laud w ill answer the same pur
pose.
To Kll.l, FERNS AND DRAKES— Most varie
ties can be subdued by mowing them in June
ami in September, regularly for two or three
years. Let no one be disheartened, because
they do not succumb at once. Kvery year's
mowing will weaken tlieui, and'Thev will give
up the unequal contest at lat. The sort cal
led bogbreak must have its crown hacked oft"
with a bog-hoe. Hake off the tops, and burn or
cympost.
ftrjf- Kvery innn is the architect of Ids own
fortune, for character ; fate.
