SKTTIXO HENS. It is an old saying that thera Is a right and wrong way of doing every thing. This is as true of setting a hea as of anything cUe. A hen should not bo sot in the general chicken house, as she will breed vermin much faster than on a which is free, hence the building w ill soon become infested. Tho laying hens are apt to tight with the setters, nud thus break eggs, or kill tho hatching chicks; nnd if tho nests are not closely watched wliilo the setters aro oil, arc apt to lay in the nests. AYhen you arc sure a hea has tho Ret ting fever. prepare the net, which should bo fourteen inches s.piarc and six inches deep for small hens, and eighteen inches square for large ones, by placing about four inches of cut straw and a few tobac co leaves in it, and shaping it lowiu tho middle, higher nt tho sides; but be suro the bottom is larue enough to hold thir teen ciTgs without one rolling on an- ' other. Dust well w ith insect powder and add a nest egg or two. After dark carefully remove the hen so ns not to frighten her, nnd place her in tor new quarters. In the morning if she takes kindly to tho new nest--and they rarely do otherwise--remove the nest eggs, and givo a full clutch, putting a few at a tiuij, and letting her fix them to sui:. If many hens are in the samo building they should be marked, so as to be readily told apart, aud caro takou that each one goes to her own nest, ns tho body of a heu setting but a few days, lias much more heat than ono that has set nearly threo weeks, hence eggs aro often injured by a change of hens. If the Betters sho.v a disposition to leave their own, nud invade another's nost, j cure thorn by placing over them nn open frame. This should be removed regu larly every day to allow the hens to como off for food aud water. Wholo corn is perhaps the best diet, ns it takes longer to digest, nud helps maintain an even temperature. Keep either gravel or broken crockery within reach all tho time. Experience has taught that liens set in a separate building aro much easier cared for, and will briug out a larger per cent, of chicks than otherwise. We have used tho barn for early setters, after ward, an empty corn crib, till a building was provided on pflrposc. Farm, Field nnd Stockman. WHEN TO CUT Gf.ASS FOB HAT, During many years of careful observa tion, writes J. M. Trowbridge, of JCew York, to the American Agriculturist, I have noticed that gra-s is rarely cut for hay at that stage of growth wnfc'u is most relished by griming stock ; that the cutting is almost universally deferred until it has attained a degree of maturity which causes grazing stock, if they have a choice, to avoid it, in their preference for a less mature or younger stage of growth. Everybody must have noticed tho patches iu pastures whero tho grass lias matured, and how sedulously it is avoided, Concurrent with this had been the observation that great gain in flesh and fatness, health and strength of graz ing stock was mado mainly during tho season of those stages of growth preced ing tho common "haying" season, and that stock put to grass aftor tho matur ing of the crop " tit for haying" rarely made any great gain, and" never iueh gain as is made when such stock ore put upon the young grasses of the early spring. Compare a cow from an August pasture with ono from a pasture in early June. See with what difference they fill themselves 1 Kotico the difference with which they fill the milk pail. Very few grazing animals ou grass all the season maintain iu August tho llesh gained in June. Theso facts had pioduced with me an impression that earlier cutting of the grass would be bettor. Just then ap peared, at a winter meeting of tho .New Vork t?tate Agricultural Society in Al bany, a farmer from Vermont with samples of winter-made butter. It had all the characteristics iu color, in flavor, iu fragrance and other qualities of the freshest of Slay or June butter. After unanimous approval tho question was raised, How was it produced? What feed is used to inukci spring butter iu midwinter? Tho maker replied that tho stock from which the butter had been mado had been kept exclusively on hay nud water, aud the butter was produced from their milk iu the ordinary way; no coloring, no flavoring and no adjuvants of any kind were used. At length after much buniering uud badgering tho uiuker'cxplaiucd. '-.My hay," he said, "may differ somewhat from the ordinary article. It is cut at tho time when stock seem to relish it most, und gain on it most rapidly. I do not see why timothy straw should bo any better than oat btraw or wheat btraw, aud that is what your grass beeunus if yuu let it go too far. I cut my grass long before it is heading, not to say blossoming, and as it has then formed no seed it does not cxhaubt soil. Jiut at tho same timo it has formed no fiber to be masttca'ed aud di gested without al'ording nutrition. All iu weight then is uutiiiuont. True, I do noi begin to get the yield per acre then tha: would be obtained by waiting uniil tho seeds had matured and the stalks become wood straw; but for this name reason the roots, still in their vigor, send up new shoots, tiller out, and pro duce u second crop by tho time of ordi nary haying. Ordinarily, 1 get three uud. foi.r cuttings per year whero 1 thouNi obtain but one wero the gross allowed to mature its stalk uud sued, uud uw-io taiao or four cuttings always weis;h nioie than the crop would weigh it uiu imeuiu me oruiuury way." There is another consideration In thU connection worthy of entertainment. Daisies and carrots are the bugbear, the terror of hay growers. Thoy must seed the second year or die out, Cut threo or four times every year, they will inevi tably disappear, and with them many othtr weeds. Grass, cut early, before forming hcadstalks, needs curing differ ently from ordinary hay. It must be cured in the cock to got the full benefit of all its qualities. Drying in the sua will certainly powder its tendcrest, most succulent anu juicy parts, and thin waste its most valuable properties. It should lie exposed to sun no longer aftct cutting than sufficient to dry off the visi ble dew. When properly cured not leaf will break in the hand. It will be soft, pliable and sweet smelling. In theso days of mowing mnchinos three oj four cuttings will cost little; while the increased production over a single cut ting, together with the higher nutritious quality of the product and the repression of weeds, would seem to make this plan much prefcrablo over the ordinary one ol haying timothy straw. drains oi.' rorttf. There is profit to every corn raiser in t special seed patch. Corn for ensilage should havo just as much care in planting and cultivating as field corn. book out for the corn-worm, aud when it nppcars take prompt measures for its destruction. The variety is Important, but tho best variety can make only a poor crop with poor cultivation. If corn ground is rolled cither before, or aftor planting, tho harrow should fol low close after the roller. About one half tho work of cultivation can bo done, aud done most easily nnd effectively beforo corn is planted. Fino earth is a good mulch for corn, and is most economically supplied by a frequent stirring of the soil with a culti vator. Whether for silage, or for grain or fod der, tho man with clean laud cm grow ih.? most corn with the lc.isL labor, by planting in drills. It very rarely, if ever, pays to stir the ground when it is very wet. In unusu ally rainy weather it is better to use tho ho and scythe than tho cultivator. Hrace-roots aro not different in con struction or office from tho roots starting underground. Hence, deep, close cul tivation destroys valuable root growth. Two hundred nnd fifty-four bushels of shelled corn havo been raised on ono acre of ground by Colonel Drnko of South Carolina. Every ono should try to get ns near to this ns he can. If ono third of tho corn must bo re planted to get a perfect stand it is best to cut up tho field with the disk, or Acmo harrow, and plant it all again, un less it is quito late in tho season. Do not put strawy stable or barnyard manure on light soils for corn. The manure will increase droughty conditions to such an extent that it will do more harm than good unless the season is un usually wet. It is raoro economical to have a "turning-row" or hea Hand nicely seeded to grass than two rows of corn crushed down by the team and cultivators in turning, or much timo lost in the ef fort to turn without crushing the corn. If your team crowds together in the cultivator, trampling the corn, tie tho cutsido ring of each bit to the end of s stick four feet long, using a string oi such length that tho stick will hang just under the jaws. This will draw the horses apart. If tho ground and air are dry, com press the soil above the corn ; but if the grouud is wet and drying slowly do not compress it. If compression is unavoid ble, as it is when the two-horse plantct is used, loosen tho ground with thl smoothing harrow. The man who plants his corn by hand wiil do well to soak it in warn, watet overnight just before planting. This will bring it to tho surface at feast two days earlier; desirable as the season ad vances toward lateness, and equally de sirable early in the season, as it reducet tho amount of rotting. Tho frequency of cultivation should not bo measured by days, but by condi tion of soil and atmosphere. Cultivation should be often enough to keep weedi below the surface, to prevent the forma tion of a crust on the surface, and tc keep broken near the surface the con tinuity of the crevices between the soil particles.
