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
