It there is, as stated by "itr correspondent, a "'large quantity " of crass on the urouml, it is advisable, evei in reference to the I mil, . r to the amount and quality of the next cr,p, to take off in some way, at least r porti >n.— If the crop is needed more for winter feeding than for immediate consumpti n, it intv be . made into hay. As we have remarked on previous occasions, after-math or rowen hay is, when properly cured, of the very be-t | quality in reference to the production of beef, inut ton, or n ilk. On fiilds which were III<>IV ed early, the second growth is generally large j this season. Most fanners in this section will cut some for hay, besides leaving eonsid- i nable to letd off*. It will be better for the j succeeding crop to cut it pretty soon, to give | nun- for the gias- i . start a little before 'he trust sets in. A certain amount of covering lor the roots is beneficial; but too thick a j coat afl'ords harbor to field mice, which do much injury, and besides smothers out the grass, more or less. Probably as a general thing, it is better for ! the land, or for the next crop of grass, t feed off the after-math. On ground that is not j wet, the sward is generally made firmer, even I er, and the herbage thicker and finer, by the iiead of caitle in connection with their graz- j itig. They should not be allowed to lgave the ground too bare at the close of the season.— j Boston Cultivator. *• MAKING HI TTER.
