* AGRICULTURAL. «**. i»U.. T o.ii i». - . ^ TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Light and Heavy Hay. In the various rules for estimating the amount of hay in bulk, gays the Out tiwttor, for the nbt enough difference is allowed variation id weight depending on the condition when cured, the exposure to rain and other causes. The same sorts will have much less weight in propor¬ tion to bulk after being dried out by a cold winter. Hay that has been bleached light by long in erasure to rains will always be less valuable weignt, and be proportionately than even its weight would indicate. The soluble juicos which give hay by its greatest value havo been washed tion out of rains, leaving an undue propor¬ considerable woody fiber. There is, besides, a variation in the original constituents of grass and hay, depend¬ ing it is on the character of the soil on whi h grown. Farmers on wet, mucky and overflowing land complain that their large crops of hay do not pan out well when brought to the weighing Beales. Timothy grown on such soil has coarse, hollow stems, with smaller pro¬ portion deficient of in leaves. mineral Such soils are often drensing fertilizers, and a of phosphate when the land is seeded makes the crop better and the hay hay richer and heavier. Still this coarse is salable and does not exhaust the soil as does hay grown on upland. This may bo one reason why tho bulk of hay sold is grown on low, mucky and over¬ flowed lands. Unnatural Cravings. Professor Arnold says in the New York Tribune : The habit of gnawing old bones, bits of wood, and various other non-eatable in herds things, is of frequent occur¬ rence of cattle, but much oftener in milch cows, aud oftener in old dairy districts than elsewhere. Also, hogs and and horses sometimes delight in eating dirt, and children exhibit a craving for chalk or charcoal, which, it is supposed, they cannot digest. The cause of such unnatural turbed hankerings is doubtless a dis¬ condition of health, but just what specific is thing occasions I the disturbanee not, so far as am awaro, positively known. The fact that it is most com¬ mon with milch cows in old dairy dis¬ tricts gives rise to a suspicion that ex¬ haustion from the soil, and consequently to some extent from the food, of certain mineral matters whh h enter into the composition of milk, tho notably phosphates and pot ash, may be principal cause. With this view some dairymen are in tho habit of feeding their cows at short intervals with bone meal and wood ashes aa a remedy when they show a tendency to unnatural cravings, and, it is claimed, with good effect; but my cows would never partake of such diet. If there be any truth in this idea it would be better to supply the it soil with improve the efficient ele¬ ments,since would tho growth of crops, while it would cure tho diseuse by removing the cau-e. Bone raeivl and potash have a very happy effect in sweet¬ their ening forage crops as well as increasing growth, and it has often been noticed that where land is rich and for¬ age crops luxuriant tho bonc-chcwing habit seldom prevails. Of all the cows I have had under my care cases of un¬ natural craving have been infrequent, and {ho few that occurred were best re¬ lieved by a liberal use of wheat bran. t’’ai n» ami tkiriten Note*. los irregular feeding milch cows is sheer of time and material. Hood, sweet wheat is tho best grain for chickens, and as cheap as any. The old notion that f( eding a few chopped flow apples to cows will scotch the of milk is un errorc ous one. than Breeding stock need muscle rather fat. us the latter moans a loss of energy, if not health and vigor. w7cZ'.:S i* , , ;,rcod"“ ihrivc o (to system to enftfilo it to The Sa'iontd Stn-hn tu sny* ensilage is better than the sumo sta'k dried, ju^t as dried a ripe juicy apple is better than a one.
