Now comes tlie furmers' driving time of
a'l the year, when the singing of the mow
ing machine comes faintly from the distant
meadows or rattles uoisily from those
nearer homo. Xow has eomo the time
wheli the horizon is scanned most care
fully in the morning to " seo if it will tin
to mow when the weatherwise m igh
I ir is nt a premium, and " sign9 of a
shower" hurry up the carting. Yet haying
is not what it was forty years ago, when
the " swish " of the scythe laid the gras
in even heavy swaths which the lwy had
to spread, thinking it a great hardship
that ho couldn't mow. Then, a gallon ol
now ruin was thought as necessary fur
each day's work its a mowing machine is
now. Machinery has tlone much for the
Jarmcr. As our hired man remarked
yesterday, " It makes a heap o' difference
what kind of a stomach a man has for
pitching in the afternoon, whether ho has
swung a scythe all tho forenoon or not;"
and now with improved implements hay
ing can scarcely be reckoned harder than
the majority of a farmer's work.
We have not much of ml vice or instruc
tion for our brother farmers concerning
haying. We hivo noticed in some agri
cultural journals such minute and particu
lar instructions that a casual reader would
thinl; fi.inSrs hardly knew enough to
plant a hill of beans properly, or get in a
load o" hay, and no:so than all, the wiit'ng
is such that we are convinced that we
don't know much about wh it they write of
nr else they don't. Hero is what one
writer s ays about keeping hay :
Tl o fermentation (healing, farmers call
it,) of a cock or mow of hay is caused by
the oxygen of the air uniting with the
carbon of the hay, just as the oxvgen
unites with the carbon of the wood in a
stove, and as there can be no lire in tin
stove without tho admission of air, so
there can be no fermentation in a mow of
liny unless the air comes in contact with
it Who ever saw any signs of fermenta
tion in the center of a large mow of hay?
It is only within n foot or two of the sur
face that fei mentation occurs, as only
here iloes the air have access. The centre
is effectually canned. If these facts and
principles are correct, some of our eom
iiiuii practices are wrong, as, for instance,
the practice of putting one load of hay in
one mow and the next in another mow, so
lh"y may cure the better by greater ex
posure to the air. The true method is ti.
put all the hay taken into the litrn in one
itay in as compact a mass as possible, and
tre:itl it down hard so the air cannot have
access to it, and if the hay is a little wet
to cover the top of the mow with some
dry straw, tread down tightly.
The old practice of having wide cracks
in the siding of a barn so as to aerate and
cure a mow of hay was all wrung. The
hay contiguous to these cracks was sure to
be damaged.
Now wo have seen barns with wide
cracks, but we never saw a particlo of
hay hurt near tho cracks, but in the mow,
in tho " pitching hole," we have seen hay
hurt, and there is where wo have seen
most heating in tho mow, or perhaps we
should say " fermentation," Probably
most of our readers know just as much
about haying, how green to cut and get it
in, tho best modes of handling and storing,
as we do many no doubt much more.
And we wish they would write and tell us
how they do it and the reasons why.
Notwithstanding that we are taught by
agricultural chemistry that the nutrition
in early and late cut hay differs very little
if any, wo are cutting our hay earlier
year by year, and whereas it used to be a
custom having almost tho binding force of
a statute, not to begin ..haying till the
".Monday after tho 4th," now we observe
many of our best farmers well along in it
tho last week in June, and now as we
write this !d day of July, wo have two
days' works more to finish up. And we
believe early cut hay is better, that slock
o it it more readily, that it is more digesti
ble, that It makes more and better colored
butter when fed to milch cows.
We have seen directions for getting in
hay without exposing it much to sun,
dews or rain. We presume if tho farmers
could order tho weather to suit, or could
know just what was coming, they would
not probably get hay ovcrdried or much
wet, and till they can, we seo no way for
t'ltim but to no on and do according to
their best judgment, only remember there
will probably be hay cut after we are
dead; that all flesh is grass, and such hot
weather as wo have in haying time may,
if one works too hard and takes no care
for himself, leave it to bo said of him,
" cut down and withered." Take it easy
unless a shower is coming up.
linowlfdire and riciiro-Piieiniioiiia.
Tho Sprigliold Ilepublkan, in speaking
of the cattle-plague, happened to remai k
that " Tho spread of these contagions
among farm animals magnify the neces
sity for greater attention to veterinary
science, ine lariner must not only study
ins sons nnn manures, but bis cattle and
oilier stock as well."
The which stirs the bilo of Iiro. Hos
kius, and he asserts that tho Itepublican
has been the "contemptuous onemy " of
special agricultural education from the
beginning, mid finds proof in tho fact in
that "It has always steadily opposed the
appropriation of state's money to the
Massachusetts Agricultural College, ridi
culed its instructors and spoken contempt
uously of its work."
Hut this is not the extent of the Hcpub
licaii's misdemeanors. Tho gist of the
matter lies deeper, and is of a darker
deeper dye :
Hut the fact is that tho Ilepublkan is
edited by graduates of literary colleges,
and the jealous spite of all such ngaTnst
the breaking of their monopoly by the
spread of liberal knowledge uniong " the
masses " shows itself continually in its
columns. As Mr. Goodman says, in the
New Kngland Farmer, " class prejudice
is blighting in its bitterness, and the 'col
lege bred ' men look down upon tho insti
tution created to raiso up near their level
the toiling masses in the same spirit with
wiiicu tne siuticnts oi uieir alma mntor

put to the test, walked or rowed away
j.uiu luLiu iu iuu encounters oi sport. In
tho snmo spirit our so-called educated
men, merchants, manulacturers and ninny
ignorant farmers hesitate nbout placing
tho agricultural college upon a substantial
and self-supporting basis, not discerning
tho immediate benefit it is bestowing upon
agriculture in the stato and out of it, nnd
not being able to ronlizo tho iranienso ad
vantage which will be conferred hereafter
upon the wholo commonwealth."
How pitiful Is this spirit, and how littlo
ground does it furnish for the claim that
tho " culture " of our colleges is " liberal "
in it character. To overlay nd smother
in Industrial college at it birth, or to
starve it to death in its infancy, is hardly
characteristic of a " benign mother."
Now the Idea that college-bred " men .
have a monopoly of either learning or
talent, or claim to have it. or that tney re
fuse to recognize It in others not college
bred seems to us. most ridiculous. And
it is no proof to us. or an Indication even
of such a spirit, that educated men, and
many not college bred, have condemned
the oersistent. never ending cries of
' more, more," from the Institution at
Amherst which greet each succeeding
legislature of a state which has already
given over half a million dolhrs to put on
" substantial and self-supporting basis
an institution vhich has apparently cither
no power of or no inclination for self-support
us long as the legislature will "give
down."
We have never had the advantages of a
oollego education, yet we are among those
who have not seen the agricultural millen
nium dnwning from the windjwa of some
agricultural college. The fact stands be.
yonil dispute that as educators of farmers,
or even of young men to bo farmois, they
have been conspicuous failures. Tho in
dictnienl against them is not that the)
educate farmers, but that they do not cdu
eato farmers. Almost every one has his
idea of the cause, but that it is owing to
" jealous spite of college bred men " and
their opposition to tho spread of liberal
knowletlgo we do not in nny degree be
lieve, and especially as in those who, like
tho editors of the Ht publican, must expeel
their profits and success to bo just in pro-
pertion as the people do become educated,
a thinking, reading community.
But there are other classes who arc
blamablo in the matter, and they are " so
called educated men " when lneichant
or manufacturers, but "ignorant farmers."
What proof of their Ignorance they have
shown here we cannot see, but if they be
ignorant as asserted, why here is another
and striking instance where extremes
meet; few so wise as to honor such an
institution and fewer so poor as to render
homage.
Let Amherst or any other agricultural
college show good solid work, and even
encouraging results, let such a college
become a place which students will seek
instead of being coaxed to, where it wi.l
turn out a respectable majority of its
graduates good common sense, educated,
working farmers, and we prophesy it will
not lack Btudenls or a handsome recogni
liou and hearty co-operation from college
bred men, so called educated men, or ig
norant farmers. Till they do show some
results, other than making debts for the
slate to pay, and an excuse for drawing
liberal salaries, tbey must expect the crit
icism of those who love and prize thorough
education and despise shams.

Sugar from Indian Cora and Sorghum.
(HabtUnofl of
a paper or F. L. Htswsrt, read at tbs I
reoem ineetiost
Briefly described, the new process of
sugar manufacture with which my name
is associated, deals wiin saccharine juices
containing, in their normal condition,
both eane and fruit sugars, the former
largely preponderating. I recognize three
distinct classes of saccharine juices, viz :
1st Those like the tropical sugar cane
nd the beet, which, when their juices are
mature, contain in association with other
substances, true crystallizable sugar only.
2d. Those like most fruits, such as the
apple and the grape, which, whatever
their composition otherwise, contain no
true sugar, but only glucose, etc.
'Sil. Those like maize ami sorghum,
which have not heretofore been general I v
recognized as distinct, containing in their
best condition, both cane sugar and un
crystullizable sugar, but which, by reason
f the defective modes of treatment here
tofore resorted to, have proved practically
uucrystallizahle.
The dilticulties are now entirely remov
ed. It is now clearly shown that the
juices of maize and of sorghum grown in
me united states are richer in sugar ol
the true cane type than any other plants
i hat can be grown in temperate latitudes ;
that nine-tenths of their saccharine matter
is such sugar, and that the impediments
to crystallization are such as are peculiar
to these plants. Accordingly I find that
neitner the processes adapted to toe ex
traction of sugar from the southern eane,
nor the much mote elaborate or costly
methods of the beet tunar manufactures
in Europe, are appropriate to the success
ful extraction of sugar from these plants.
which in this case involves entirely new
conditions ant requires radical changes in
the mode of chemical treal men t. Entirelv
aside from its advantages as an antiseptic
and a decidorizcr, I have discovered a
peculiar property in the dioxide of sulphur
when employed upon these juices under
certain conditions which, heretofore un
known and unused, now perfectly solves
i nc proniem i me separation and cry-tat
lization-of the sugar. This is done ex
peditiously, cheaply and certainly. Prac
tically, then, the value of these now suzitr
producing plants may bo concisely stated
as ioiiows

many varieties, if taken, at the proper

The Management of Hoot Crops.
Having determined from the most Bath
factory evidence that a good erop of roots
is more profitable llian any other, because
thcie Is more leeding capability m it than
in corn, which is our next crop in the order
of producMveness, it is the most important
business to see that the culture given to it
is of the right kind, lo sow beets, man
gels or turnips upon rough, cloddy ground
is to throw away an opportunity. The
writer s exjierience the present season has
heen most instructive in this regard. A
piece of corn stubble was prepared by
plowing under a dressing of manure
which was. unfortunately, not thorough v
rotted and fine. The planting done with
Monitor liana secil-ilnll was a most
irouhlesomo piece of work, and mori
trouble is promised when weedintr and
cultivating comes to be done. A piece of

before the planting, mnde the best and
easiest of work. The latter niece will

lalior that will be needed on the first piece.
Willi smooth, mellow ground the seed-
drill mentioned will do very eootl work

use of the No. 3 roller, which drops three

plants. This may be done at first with a

and a moderate application of Peruvian

in witii the cultivator will be useful Tut
thinning or singling of tbe plants can be
done with the hand cultivator tho best
for this purpose which tbe writer has used
is the Planet hand cultivator, . which hn
two wheels and a scraper on each side of
ihe row ihe supernumerary plants can
be cut out very rapidly by a side motion
of the cutters, as tho rows are cleaned to
within an inch of the young plants. After
the Duios nave begun lo torru and the
broatl leaves begin to coyer tbe rows, the
work of cultivation is nearly at an end.
One more loosening of the soil, and the
crop may be laid away. For mangels, a

pounds of salt per acre will be found ben-
encul and profitable.
Kulabagas and turnips, which ruav he
sown, Ibe first in June ot July, and' Hie
laiutr in August or September, are of
quick growth and are greatly benefited by
irequeui cultivation ami the use ot phos
phaiic fertilizers. These small seeds can
be sown wiih the drill previously men
tioned, or any other of the standard gar-
ten seed sowers, anil can bo cultivated
and thinned out with any of the two-
wneeieu nnini cultivators. This use of
ihe hand cultivator for singling tbe plants
we find to be a great improvement on the
usnul method with the hoe, being done
much more rapidly and effectively. Sew

No Undoing,
A littlo girl sat trying to pick out a
seam that she had sewed together wrono.
Her chubby fingers picked at the thread
that would break, leaving the end some
where among the stitches she had laborer
so wearily to make short and close; am1
I hough the thread came out, yet the needle
holes remained, showing just how the
seam bad been sewed ; and, with tears in
tier eyes, she cried, "O, mamma, I cannot
undo it!"
Poor little girl! you nre learning one of
ibe saddest lessons there is. The desirt
of undoing what never can be undone
iyes us more trouble than all the doings
of a busy life; and, because we know this
so well, our hearts often ache for the
boys and girls we see doing the things
hey will wish so earnestly by and by to
und.
Are there nny of you old enough to read
his, who never laid your head on your
pillow nt night with a weary ache all

the unkind words you have spoken to
father, mother, brother or sister? Older
noys and girls have felt keener heart
iches for graver faults. You all know
-omeihing of this desire to undo, and sor
row that you cannot.
It is a very sad picture; and now where
is the bright side? Right liere, little boys
mil girls, big hoys and girls. Let us try
o do a thing the first time so we will
never wish lo undo it. Wu don't care lo
undo tho words of kindness we spoke to
mr classmates when they faded in spell

sawed fur ni iniuia this morning, though
our arms have ached all day, for it was a
aice kind of aclio that we enjoyed.
No; we never wish to unoo a thing thai
is done right. Then how much better it
is. and how much trouble we save our
selves, if we do a thing right at first!
Sometimes we don't know what is right ;
but we can always ask. If tho title girl
oad asked her mother about ihe seam slit
ns sewing, and had dono as she was
told, she would have saved the trouble of
nicking it out. We can ask our friends ;
tnd, above all, we can ask our Heavenly
Father. He never leu-Is us wrong; anil

Between daylight nnd dark she some

How to See a Seed Gitow. Many
little lo'ks wonder how a seed grows
Some boys and girls have taken up the
seed after planting it in the ground, und
thereby prevented it from taking root.
We may, however, see the roots shoot
ing out from the hyacinths and other
bulbs that we grow in glasses in our win
dows And in this way we may see other
seeds sprout and shoot.
A gentleman, to gratify his little sons
took a glass tumbler, round which he tied
a bit of common lace, allowing the lace ti
hang or drop down in the centre of tin
glass. lie then put enough water in the
glass to cover the loer part of the lace.
and in this hollow lie dropped two sweet-
peas. The littlo boys were told to look at
them every day, and they would learn
what was going on under ground wiih
similar seeds.
Next morning the boys hurried from the
breakfast room to Icok at Ihe gla-s with
the peas in the south window. They found
mat whim they were last asleep the little
brown skins had burst, and a tiny wbiie
sprout was seen on Ihe sido of each pea
I he little sproms soon grew long enough
io reach through Ihe holes in Ihe lace, and
on the top of iho peas two Utile green
leavi s wore seen.
In lime the boys saw the white thread
like roots rei.ch almost to the bottom of
the glass, while tho green leaves grow
large and gave way to a stock or stem.
In this way most seeds may be seen to
grow.
