TEE HAY UVEST
31Y ,g PRACTICAL FIRMER.
As the hay harvest will shortly com-
mence, the following hints on cutting
and curing, by:a practical farmer, May
,. he of interest to our readers : First, as
to the time of CuLting grass. Farmers
disagree on. this point, as they do on al-
most every subject relating to their call-
ing, but there can be no question that
with thinking and progressive men the
tendency is to earlier cutting than form-
erly. Here and there we find an old and
old-fashioned. hay -maker who lets his
grass stand till Augast, or even till Sep -
IL
- tember, till "it ' gits' some body to it,
as he expre Ses it, but the ratio of the
late to the early cutters cannot be great-
er than. one to five, and in the More en-
lightened districts not more than oue to
ten. We came across one of these late
hay -harvesters on one of our hill towns
last Autumn, (the latter part of Septem-
ber,) just then securing his crop, and
had the cuiqosity to learn the rea,soas
for such dellay. They were as follows:
" The littl

labor reqtured ; the grass
in the morning, and housed
ay the grass 'grits' some
y September, it is all fog in
e like mature hay, just as
e fruits, and it never 'fire -
lenge' in the mow."
There is no use arguing -with such a
man. He Was fully persuaded itt his
own mind, so after picking up a lock of
hay and snaelling it we drove On with-
out comment, but we could not help
thinking that he belonged to the three
-
handed class of raen, having one -hand
by each side and one.little behind hand.
The hay was brittle as straw, and had
about as much fragrance to it as an 'old
fence -rail. We are glad to kno* that
the number of these behind -hand farm-
• ers is yearly diminishing.
In 1856 Mr. Flint, the Secretary of
- the MaSsachnsetts Board of Agriculture,
addressed a circular to one or more of
the foremost farmers in each town in the
State, asking, amen°.bother questions,
. about the crops : "At what stage of
growth do You prefer to cut grass to
• make into English and wale hay, and
what is the reason for your preference?"
To this circular he received abeut. 200
responsesaand the answer to CI* ques-
tion of tila from 150, or three quarters
of the whole, was that "hay is sweeter
and possesses more nutriment when cut in
full blossom than at any other [ stage."
If the same question should be asked.
now there would4be still greater imanhn-
ity of ()pinion ill favor of early butting,
many preferring not to wait till the grass
blossoms. We will quote two or three
answers of till farmers that contain rea-
sons for the faith that is in them. A
Midallesei farmer says : "11 prefer to
eat grass when in blossom because it
will make more milk and 'more fat-. and
cattle prefer it to that standing later.
It keeps them loose and healthy. I have
no doubt hay of the same bulk -Weighs
more if it stands in the field till the seed
- forms, and.for this reason some who sell
most of their hay let itstand."
A Worcester County farmer .eays :
" When designed for milch cows, store
or fattening animals, I prefer to cut in
the - blossom, because it makes more
railk, more.. growth and more beef. For
-working cattle and horses I cut about
six days after the pollen has fallen, be-
cause it does not scour or loosen the
animal so !muchas when cut in the
blossom."
The opinion of a Hampshire County
farmer is as follows : "Next to sWeet,
fresh grass, we think that rowen will.
make cows, working cattle or horses
• thrive better than any other food, un-
less in case of cattle hard at work.. We
conclude, therefore, that all hay is bet-
• ter 'cut early. Coarse hay will keep
stock tolerably well cut early, which,
if allowed to mature, would not be eaten
at all."
The conclusions of these farmers are
corroborated by, the instincts of cattle
and. sheep. Turn them into a pasture
where there is young and mature grass;
ancl they invariably graze upon the for-
mer, and will not eat the latter -till driv-
en to it by extreme hunger. The young
grass is tender, succulent, full of nutritious juices, -while the mature is woody
and dry, all its Arirbues ha.viag 'gone to
te the formation of seed, which is the
great end Of all -vegetation. We have
never found any hay that will make so
much. milk and cause young cattle to
thrive so Well as aftermath or rowen.
This comes nearer to •Sumnaer grazing
than any other Winter foddering ; but
we cannot afford to ant our mowing lots
more than twice a year, as a general
rule, and so we delay our first mowing
till the grass has developed and is ready
to concentrate its energies in the forma-
tion of seed. This is, doubtless, at the
blossoming period. If labor did not cost
so much we -would cut still earlier, and
secure three crops at each season, as we
are satisfied that we should obtain more
sugar, gluten arid othersoluble and
nutritious compormds. After a plant
haS blossomed. the: virtues tend rapidly
to the seed. The stalk and leaves have
no sweetneSe, but become woody fibre,

Another advantage in cutting early is
that the aftei math is so much better.
Cut any herb before it has developed
seed ancl it will keep on aerowing, deter-
mined to perpetuate its kind. Not .so
e‘then its energies have been exhausted
in. the production of seed., In the case
of Englishgrains, which are really spe-
cies of grass, the object is the growth of
seed, but we get no aftermath froin
field, of wheat or rye. -Snell we arow
. grass we want forage, mit seed, and. there
is no question but that forage, 'or the
• leaves and stems of plants, is more nat-
ural food. for stock than grain. _No
kind of feed makes sweeter milk and but-
ter thee good fresh grass.
Another point in the hay hale -est is
the mode and amount of drying. The
• drying of the grass has about the Same
relatioa to the quality of the hay- as
roasting has to the virtueS of coffee.
There is a just right to the drying of hay
as there is to the roasting.of coffee: Too
little does not develop its aroma, and
leaves too much water to stimulate fer-
mentation, -while over -drying takes out
all life and renders it brown, brittle,.
flavorless and little better than. straw.
We are persuaded that More hay is in-
jured by excessive drying than by too
liable. We want hay to look green, to
..be flexible, and to retain its ,natural
juices and aroma, in short, to lea like
green tea, and to be capable of making
such a decoetion as tea makes. If left
in the scorching sun for two or three
days, hay would make a pretty poor tea,

and. of Regular Established Agents, who can ways be be found, and whose walrant and guarantee
ban be relied on, and if the purchaser is not suited
with the kind they think they want, they can have
the privilege a cnanging it for any other. We
have at all times a iiew and fresh stock of the
