Oat HajjrI |n*ve just tend an article in yrtttr lani i??u? wlticli I think t?-IU only ft part oT the truth on the subject. * T do not claim 10 know nil of the truth, and Sropose only to give toy. experience, inee 1838, the iiiohI of my lime has heen spent unon a farm in Gaueaea Cm. N. Y., and I do not claim poifeclion in the ?ri or science of. fanuiug. Si ill by experim *nt*, observation and reading, I lud some ppportunily to know some of (he secrets of farming. Mv business of "1 grain And stock raising necessarily and naturally led me lo examine the value of feed for slock?its real and relative value. 1 have been stirptiseu an well as atnusej to see bow fanners will hold on to the ways of their father*, when their theory on many subjects connect ed with farming exploded 1<>ng ago. Hut 1 will ootiGne myself to the subject contemplated at the beginning, via, "Oat Hay." 1 think the question is not, V Is the oat atraw of unripe oais more nutritions than the straw of near ly ripe grain f" out the question is, "What is the relative -value of-oat straw cut (if you please) when the oat js soft and in the tnilk, and Veil matured ami ripe oats i" which should in all , cases bo cut while the straw is green and the oat just passed from the milk1 stale. I aur well aware that slock is! very fond of oat straw, cut green, n*.i they are of hay and hi the same coodition. Still experience leaches one that : it lakes a largo quantity lo satisfy, and lacks the heart then* those who cut and ! feed rowun bay understand this. Now my invariable rule for manyl years has been to let my oats stand until they have passed from a milk sta'e lo what might perhaps be culled a pn-le , stale, at which state the straw is t?>b i and green. Then cut and bind i ill raw ' diately, not allowing tbetn to \\ Uneven men put uiem in stacKs of eight sheaves i each, adding, iwo more for.- cap?, and there leave tliem through storms until they are entirely cured. By thin slow process of curing the borrv completely fills and matures* the sltaw'being cur cd thus under cover is fresh and sweet, and never moulds in the stack ot mow, and stuck prefer it as a change to the j best of bay, and picfet it as feed U>,poot j hay. I^oW for the value of the crop. ] | (claim more nutriment from I It 6 pro . ducts of one acre of straw simply, than | ?, fiotn au acre cut before the berty.is formed. Again, I claim more nutii | menlfo the oat when matured, than from the straw under any given condi 1 lion, by two to one; that is to sav, thoj .one hundred bushels of oats I rai*e, from an acre of g ound aro worth us j ' much as the straw front two acre*, pro- i viding tho rule lai<l down for curing is ' followed. What is true of oats is true < of other grain. 1 have of en harvested I wheat, aud always pr?furred to do wj. 1 , when I could break the berry between my thumb and linger. I always got plumper wheat, made more flbttr, and, J.he wheat. was at leasl fifty per cent,' belter than when allowed lo stand and gel thoroughly lipe. Just so with corn. 1 never lake the top off of corn, or to .use the common phrn?e, " cut the stalk-."' 1 would cut my corn before it was hard, as soon as it parsed fioui thu mjik to the paste stale, put it immediately up in fair sized bunches, and tin re let it ripen and stand, if desired, until n<?ld leather. Yon get heavier and brighter corn, and very much better fodder. S.? much for my experience. Try it before you condemn it, am) don't Hatter your self that a crrp of oat straw begins to be as valuable as a crop of oars and straw. ? [ >|r. IVocdicarJ, in Muss Plouykmun. Home-made Ice.
