Haying Time.
Ia lite present month. begins tiie great Lav
harvest. This is, ia many respects, tho most
important !n the whole year. Although the
ciop doeVuot lilt the space in the public eye,as
an article cf foreign commerce, which cotton
does, it is yet of greater money value. Thick
of its fundamental use, the support of ail kinds
of farm-stock for six or seven months of the
whole year. As one says • "Itis in fact, the
basis cf ail farm operations, the key stone
which sustains them and gives them all their
success. The test of a farm is the number of
cattle it feeds, and tho cattle in turn feed the
afciL" L t us, then, see to it that our crop
this year is well and seasouably made and
proper!? stored.
In preparing for this anneal campaign, be
rare that all other pres&iug labor is out ol the
way. This work is enough of itself to occupy
one's lime and thoughts while it lasts ; to
have other cares superadded, harrasses and
perphxespouc so much us to make his true
uiA prb'fh r wc.rk very disagreeable. Get all
other matters well ahoad, so as to feel at ease
about theft.- Then, see that the tools and im
plements are in complete order—scythes,grind
stones, mowing-machiues, hand rakes, horse
rakes, pitch-forks, wagons,racks, and hay-caps.
The extra hired help—is that engaged ?
enough of it ? —and of such a sort to be relia
ble ?
The b:s f time to out hay, is r.n important
matter to determine. The end sought •in
gathering hay is, obviously, to cat it when it
eeutnios its most nutritive properties, viz :
jjlueilagc, starch, giuleu and sugar, in the
best state for their preservation Experience
shows that that period is when the grass is
just in full flower. After this time, the fiber
becomes woody and indigestible. The Cycb
jxedia of Agriculture says : "It has teen
proved that plants of nearly all sorts, if cut
wheu in lull vigor afterwords carefully dried
without any waste of their nutritive juices
contain nearly double tlie quantity of nourish
ir.g mutter which they do when allowed to at
tain their full growth,and make some progress
towards decay." Yet some good farmers bold
that Timothy should not be cut until it passes
this stage, and has nearly rippened its seed ?
and litis chiefly for the reason that if cut earli
er, the roofs are weakened and the meadows
gradually destroyed. Still, as a general ruie,
the prevalent method of cutting grass " when
in the tniik," is the right one.
WhcD hay is to be cut with scythes,the work
should begin early in the day : the morning
dew is a great help to the mowr. There
should be a liberal resting time at midday,and
then the work resumed and carried on briskly
until evening. A lunch of plain food,moisten
ed with cold cofj'." l or home-brewed beer, may
be brought iuto the meadow in the middle of
each forenoon and afternoon, il the hands will
be discontented without if, but it is a poor
policy too keep the hands and the stomach
both at work ail the time, and three goou
meals are Lest for any man, however hard his
work. There is enough heat in haying time
without the addition " fire-water." As to the
expediency of using mowing-machine, we de
clare decidedly in their favor, especially ou
farms of considerable extent. They save time
labor, a great deal of anxiety, and in the lorg
run, money. When the laowiug-macidue is
used, do not out a rod before the dew is en
tirely off, for when the hay is cut by the ma
chine, unless very heavy, it will need no stir
rinrr.
" Make hay while the sun .-'lines," is a rood
rule, bul it may he carried too far in haying
time. Wc want the bright snushino first to
wilt the hay thoroughly ; then let the drying
process llake up the grass in high cocks
while still hot. If rain threatens, put on the
bay cays, put them on by four o'clock to keep
off heavy dews. The irrass may ho in eoeks
two days or less, as convenient lor the farmer.
On a clear day, open the cocks, about the
middle of the forenoon after the ground is
warm,for an ail ing, spreading the hay and
turning once or twice for two or three hours ;
then haul to the barn. The practice of salt*
iug hay, at the time of storing it, is quite un
common, and it is applied the more abundant
ly when the hay is imperfectly cured. A lit
le salt, say two or three quarts to the ton, can
wisely be applied. More than this does little
good, and on the whole may be injurious.—
American Agricultn res'.
CTIWIVATION* OF THE WHITE BEAN. —The
great, need of American agriculture is a good
" fallow crop''—some plant that will stand
our hot dry summers,enrich the soil, and allow
the horse-hoe to clean the land during its
growth, A plant, in short, that shall occupy
the same place in our rotation as the turnip
does in English agriculture.
The white beau comes nearer to this than
any other plant yet introduced. If the beans
are consumed on the farm, —as the turnips
aiways aro iu England—their cultivation
would add materially to its fertility. There
cau be no doubt on this point. All the legu
minous plants—including clover, peas, vetch
es, beans, etc:, —contain large quantities of
nitrogen, and this when consumed by animals,
or plowed under, is converted into ammonia
the very thing which we most need for the
growth of the cereals. Let us, then, crow
beans. No crop will grow better. When
prices are good, as at present, they can be
sold ; and if prices fall, they can be fed out
on the farm with advantage.
In regard to their cultivation,we have writ
ten so much in previous volumes of the Genes
see Farmer, that little need be added at this
time. They are grown on warm, light soil,
but will succeed on almost any se.il if properly
Cultivated. For this, as for all other crops,
the land should be well under drained, either
naturally or artificially. The land may be
plowed in the Fall and again in the Spring,and
made clean and mellow before planting ; or
a clover cod may be turned over and the beans
planted at once. The common " white medi
um''is generally considered the most produc*
but the White Mountain or Mar
row yields nearly or quite as well, and brings
a better price. It. is a little larger, rounder,
plumper, and handsomer, and is gaining in
popular esteem.
They may be planted in hills two and a
half feet apart and fifteen to eighteen inches
apart in the rows, droppiog five or six beans
in each hill ; or they may be drilled in with
a machine, in rows two aud a half feet apart,
and a single bean two inches apart in the
rows. The latter, perhaps, gives the larger
crop, but the former requires less labor i (
hoeing, etc. - In this section, they are usually
planted the first week in June.-~ Christian

It is strongly recommended that students from abroad

able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to he pursued.
He will also Be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to he present during the Fall term.
Prof. Coburn's connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will he spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repulntation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and in rendering it more wor
hy of future patronage and support,
