MONTROSE, PA., JTCLY 1:,1877. e farnt and gonothold. Early Baying. bare frequently urged early cutting, not only because the hay was better and .more nutricious ; but also because sucli early cutting shred the .life :of the plant, as evidence by the green meadows follow ing; while, if deterred to 'a time when the see ds were lorined, We rarely had any aftermath. In corroboration of this, we have now, in the Vemont agricultural re-' port, an account of , the practice of Mr. Amaro Scott, a merchant of Oraitsbury, in that State, who for seyeral years, has been in the - habit of having his grass,,eut and in the barn before any.heads appear . ; "his theory being that if the grass is 'cut before the seed-stalk 'commences to 'shoot upward, the same stalk that. is cut off will continue to grow instead of starting a new shoot from the root, as is the case where the , cutting, is, delayed until the seed-stalk is partially or fully developed. He thus secures an.. earlier ,growth for the succeeding crop." His small farm is in thelighest condition, and produces in favorable seasons three crops. SPales arc kept on the . place, and in conducting his experiments he weighs his crops, etc. In favorable seasons haa cut as high as 'five' tons per acre at th# three cuttings 25 pounds of which ,by aptual experiment was the amount per day required to keep a large cow in the highest condition and 20 pounds per day, fed to fir of yearl ing steers, without any ,athei. food, pro duced an average growth of over = three pounds per day-during the entire Winter. In the production of milk and butter; Mr.. Scott's experiments, here detailed, show this early cut palm to - be greatly superior to ordinary hay, as it is also in feeding young steers for the market. , A pair of steers sold at the age of 25 months weigheded 2,610 pounds, and dressed I,soo,pound. _Another , pair, half• Short-. horn blood; at 231 months old, weighed 2,730 pounds, . and had made a gain during the preceeding 12 months of no less than 100 pounds per month, and an average growth 'from. birth of 110 pounds per month. AU these cattle were raised ' on skim milk, with bay tea and dried grass; no grain of any. kind or roots were fed to any of them,, except the last fair for a - while before they were sold. The feeder, being short of the dried grass, were 'compelled to feed common-hay, and, to keep his cattle from growing ;poor, was obliged to feed potatoes and meal, but he says that during this _very period his cat tle made the slowest growth., The experiments and the deductions of Mr. Scott are. certainly worth the at» tention of intelligent farmers. Two facts baying an immediate bearing, upon the subject, and strongly oorroboratrie of these - deductions, must be regarded-as an- :: questionable, to wit': Fret, that green , grass will fatten stock and =kettle best of beef and mutton ; while the' best of hay, as generally' cat and cured, does not as a general rule • when -fed in the moat liberal quantities, keep stock from run ning down in condition, during the-Win ter. The other fact is, that while' as a general thing, our meadows show a dimin ished production from year to year, even on good laude, on the ; same lands the pastures, under proper management, are found to improve- with age. - The &et fact tends to prove that our baps not cat early enough to preserve the highest nu tritiye value of the grass 1 .. and the sec ond fact tends to prove that allowing the grass to mature before :cutting injurious ly affects the future life of the plant. It seems to us that curing grass cat so ear ly may be attended with difficulty 3; but, Mr. Scott says, he generally gets it into cock the first day, and into the barn the second, with ' favorable - weather. At all events, we regard these experiments as worthy of being repeated by ofir farmera ;, and whatever may b_the final conclusion, we are satisfied Malt will be found that we must cut earlier.—Nalional Live Stock Journal,- July flints. July gives u thexesults the_marvel one growth in June of grass, grain and garden crops, and continues that growth In these and other crops. 'From the first starting of the - plants we have watched their mysterious groWth and development. All through the spring -time we have felt the strange influence of vigorous nature at werk in us too.

A' little warm breeze crept through Farm.er Cheery's maple forest, awoke the trees from their long,.long sleep, and they all began to shake hands and nod, toward each other, whispering : '"Good ! Good ! Here comes the Spring l'" Soon the - warn air 'made them feel thirsty and faint;, the tiny twigs com plained to the- branches , the 'branches told the trunks, and - the trunks carried the news doWn to the roots. Maple-trees keep all their .Provisions in an under ground cellar ; so•the roots. finding that sure enough, the 'ground was do longer frotien and hard, began to feel about, and send - out little-rootlets that- gathered, up the good things, just .'the kinds they knew maple twigs loved best. Does n't it Seem funny that they can tell ? The maples take one kind of food, the pines -another,the birches another, and for each the roottets pick out just the-right kind from the same -ground. As fast : as the rootlets gathered. the food,they sent Wig) the branches—a very delipatesweet drink; and still they sent more and more, the little twigs -always takink the freshest, and sending- back what was left over. The branehefifelt very much revived as they, were fed, grew very sociaY and began to. tell of the pretty red dresses they would put on before long ; red for the cool spfing days, and afterward green for hot summer.: The were merry plan ning their new wardrobes, I assure you.;. you could have heard it if you had had theright kind 'of ears. Farmer Cheery came in from his barn chores. . ' "I say, wife, it's groWing warm ! Should n't Wonder if the 'sap would run Such weather as this l. peas I must tap, one, tree and see." So farmer Cheery took his auger and went out' into the maple orchard. It did n't take, himi‘rig to make a little hole in one of the ree-trunks; and put in ,a little spout ; nor'lvas it many min utes before drop after drop came the sap. "Ah l that's•fine I" said farmer Cheery and he went home in baste. The next we saw of him he was driving out into the orcherd with a load of one hundred and fifty clean, bright, tin sap-buckets and one hundred and fifty fresh little troughs. Then. In each one of - his hundred and fifty maple-trees be bored a hole and put a trdugh and a bucket beneath to catch th4.,sap as it came dropping out. "Did n't it starve- the poor little branches waiting for their food ?" Oh, no ! There was enough for them leit,—all they needed to keep tnem very fresh and make them grow. So - many, many pailfuls ran up and down every day, that the one Farmer Cheery took would hardly be - missed. Every morning and, night for two or three weeks, the good farmer might be seen with his great tank, clean - as clean could be, driving around to collect the sap thaChati run out. He knew that one reason why maple sugar is sometimes dark-colored is because the :pails and tanks that hold the sap are not washed thoroughly, ; so he took great pains with his. H knew, too, that if any water gets in, the sap must be boiled longer to make sugar of it, and the longer it is boiled the - darker it grows ; so, if he saw Aitorm coming, he collected all the sap, and turned the buckets upside down till the rain was over: Farmer s Cheery <had a great iron, pan, which would hold,—oh, I don't dare tell you bow ,rnany pailfuls,—a great, great many ; and -this very large pan rested on some stone posts about two feet from the ground. Under this he built a fire, and into, it he podied his sap, stirring it while it boiled almost all day long. When,he drew it off, such beautiful clear syrup I don't believe you ever saw. This he did 'two or three] times. each week for nearly a month ; after that, the sap was not as good for people to use, though just what ;the little twigs needed. as they grew old er. ' Some of his syrup the farmer puts up in cans to send, to the cities, some of it he boiled more and more, so that it would 'be sugar when cooled. Then he pdured it into pretty scolloped hrderf into the round cakes you. like so much ; and some of it his little ,grandchildren waxed on snow. . Yon doiet know boli that is ?- Weil, May packed a panful of snow, just as bard as she could crowded it in ; then she smoothed off the top as as a marble table, and- she and Sally' crrried it to Grandpa Cheery, who drop ped upon their snow a spoonful of hot syrup here and ;there. The - little thin, waxy sheets of 'suddenly cooled syrup, picked up with a fork, and eaten as soon as cool, made . an exbellent. luncheon ; and: the children tugged their pan of snow around to give every one a taste, declar ing that "Eager-season" was .the very best time in the year.

Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by, the drugs which are generally, employnd for that purpose. The S i te Weed Tonic in its nature is totally di ff er , . e from such drugs. It contains no corrosive , miiierals or acids; in fact it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplie.s her detici ciences.
