528 NOY ENS! (t, page 466.) I once faved a great quantity of clover hay, be-

ing:a late third cutting, when the feafon was too far adyanced ta

admit of it’s being made in the ufual way, by putting it up when new cut, thus intermixed with a large proportion of good ftraw, It kept perfectly well; and when cut down and given to the beafts, was relifhed by them better than any other hay I had, and was equally valuable, J am perfuaded, for every purpofe. This mode of faving a late crop of clover is by no means uncommon. (4, page 469.) No hay has yet been feen that is equally fat- tening as fucculent grafs. J, believe hay thus made would be more fo, becaufe it’s native juices would be fully retained, and only it’s foperfluous moifture be drawn off; and that this watery juice is more hurtful, is proved by experience; for every grazier knows that, in a dry feafon, when that moifture is exhaled from the grafs, his beafts fatten much fafter than in a rainy feafon, when it con- tinues fully fucculent; although the herbage upon the field be, in this laft cafe, far more abundant. (2% page 477.) The method recommended in the text for houfing corn, is extremely different from that which is pretty ge- nerally adopted in England, where /arge barns are in ufe. In par-

ticular, it admits of taking down any part of the corn that fhall be firft wanted, wherever it is placed; for, as any one of the fix feet divifions can be taken down without affecting the others, it allows the moft perfect freedom in this refpeét. Whereas, the mows in a large barn can only be taken down in the exact form they have been originally put up. The danger of a large mow heating in the barn is thus alfo entirely obviated.
