AGRICULTURAL^
From the Southern Cultivator
CRAB GRASS HAY.
Editors Southern Cultivator:?
In the wide field of, Southern Agriculture,
I know of no branch.of it s<?
little understood, and yet so important
to our material interests, as the
making of Hay. Our ships, railroad
mra and stpn.mho.ats. are burtheucd
with dry grass, grown 3000 miles distant,
by transportation from t'uo valleys
and meadows.of New England,
and sold here at ?3,00 to ?4,00-'for
100 lb3. to farmers and'planters who
live in the finest hay section in the
world, where two crops can be gathered
the same year from the same land.
Now, I simply propose to'call the at-;
tention -of my Southern brother planters
to the immense provender resources
which they have and to give
general directions, and to-make-some
remarks on the mode and manner of
growing and cutting and sowing or
curing Crab-Grass Hay. . '
Avoiding, purposely, all technical
terms about the grass, *as well as all
theoretic propositions, or extraneous
-discussion, I desire to present these
facts known to be true*, with a view
to arouse and excite our planters to
the dutyy as also to^ho self-interest,
of raising a plentiful supply of proiyehder.
Our southern planters arc,
notoriously, of all educated men of
position, the most; ignorant Class on
the face of the earth of their profession.
Like absentees^ they have entrusted
their estates to the management
of others?td" overseers and
negroes, who only looked to .corn.And
cotton. But a new. order of .things
is upon us. " Exiting cotton ?s ihe
vassal of a central-.Government, and
we must obey' the .laws, .live . at
home ami weather the storm.Briefly,
arid to-'the subject matter.
Crop grass,-or crab grass and crowfoot
grass ahon'ndrih 'ouV cultivated
fields, and are Cultivated , grasses.
Land or soil, in certain conditions,
will produce definite and particular
crops or growth, whether .the seed is
there 01 not; this is God's law impressed
upon the earth. Fields cultivated
last year and not plowed afterwards,
will produce hog weeds,
but not grass. Some fields, owing
to the particular texture ot the soil,
and its poverty, or fertility, will yield
the crow-foot' and others the crab
grass. Either are excellent for Ilay.
To Biako hay from these grasses,
therefore;?
1st. Turn over }*our fields, in the
winter, with turnplows, and in Jfpril
cross-plow them. This is the general
and best direction for the cultivation.
But only one good plowing one time
before the 1st of July, will make one
crop of hay. Winter plowing alone
will not make hay,as a rule, but grass
and weeds and briers, in many
cases. If you break up your fields
in winter, bear in mind that a spring
plowing is absolutely necessary to
put the land in' that conditon which
will not allow the .growth of weeds
but only the grasses.
2d. After the spring plowing, im.
~ mediately harrow the field, or brush
it over, after the Southern mode of
covering turnip seed, to level the laud.
Do this, if convenient, if not, let it
alone. ^
3d. For plantation purposes, two
acres to each mule or horse, should
he put in hay, which will yield a
h bountiful supply for all the mules and
eows, &c.
4th. When the grass gets in full
j bloom, it is time to cut it, if the weather
is fair and dry, and you use proper
care to sun it and cure it. At
this stage of its growth it abounds in
untricious properties. But you may
gut and cure it. in the bloom, the milk
the rough and the seed state. All
r ~ the grasses, before maturing* seed,
contain sugar, starch and mucilage?
the formation of hard sccdsabsorbs,
r
mi II M ! illMI ! ! ! Wlin
in a great degree, these nutideious elements.
This is a gerieral^hot universal
rule. Therefore, cut and cure
it in the bloom, to -th^ma'tufityof
seeds?at any. and all times. 5th.
How to cut and-save hay.^?
The direction I now,-give, is pijlyTor
saving hay for plantation use, on a
limited scale, and. not.as a business
or crop culture for nyirlcet.. Qpet'Uay,
moving; or grass knives ar Made*:?
"all the same in th'e'"Hardware"Stores;
put handles to them; also get='iron
rakes and hayfovhs, and you-acre, ready'
foi' thc work: On a fair-.. and sunshiny
day, put -your .cut&r^tpiwork.If
the grass is in the bloohl, it is the
best condition to make'the>1)est<hay.
In this state the mncirag&ibtfi" fluid,
made-up of sugar and starcl;, abouuds
throughout tlie stems-arid leaves, and
therefore if cut in the blooru^it must
he raked up in windrows, sunned and
turned over, for^fie bottoirrto take a
sunning . in the" evening,'^and then be
put in hay-coek9, ;or round- stacks the
size of a bacon hogshead" beforenight.
After- the-dew is offnext morn-'
ing, about' 9 or.10 o'clock, spread
out- the stack or hay-cockj-. BUn.it,-.
turn it over in the evening; and haycock
it at night.?Keep this up for
five days, and your best hay*. cut in
the bloom, -will be sweet and fine.
. The older it gets the less care is required-^?the
less manipulation?the
less attention. Grass cut in a cloudy,
day, or late in the evening, and not
i wilted, may be left on the ground as
j cut, until the npxt d;iv. If wilted,
I it must be hay-cocked before nightfall
to protect it against (he nightdews
or rains. Then follows the process
giving for curing.
6th. After the fifth day,haul it up
and stack or house it. One gallon of
salt to the wagon load, sprinkled over
it, will, assist its preservation, and
make it more palatable to stock.
If the land is turned.over in winter,
and cross-plowed by the first of April,
two crops can be made on good land,
with favorable* seasons; but in any
ereat, I assert knowingly that if-pro^
per plowing is done, on or before the
first of July, large and remunerating
crops of lia v can Tm made. Last year:
' ? - 'vV . i - p i 1 p 1 i?n
I 1 saved JLUU StaCK3 01 nay .liuni-juv
acres in corn?making,20- bushels of.
corn to the acre?swamp land which'
was.plowed in June. Also, off a cucumber
patch, less than one half acre/
the cucumbers .gathered until the
first of August, I saved 4 stacks of
hay, weighirig.2800 lbs. This proves
that.hay.can be saved, from land up
to July, or even later.
It is proper to observe, thai, in hay|
making, common sense, industry and
j attention, arc necessary to success.
! The physician combats symptoms,
I and meets the necessities of the case,
j 'The day of .specifies has passed. In
i other words, be industrious, in.telli,
go.it, and do your v'urk as nature a
law.-} retpiire. Take the Southern
Cultivator, and stmlv it for years,
' * i ? i
ami von aviiI ue at no loss ro uuuej'
stand the I'/tiloxopl-y of Agriculture.
I Some fields, prepared by the first
of April, may, and often do, produce
a growth of Morning (i lories, or weed
growths of dilVeVcnt kinds; if so, piow
up the field in May, and crab-grass,
or crow-foot will follow,
i Other fields, so cultivated, say by
! the 1st of April, will produce only
i the grasses. If you go in for only
I one big crop, be save and plow up
i tliorougiily, about iho 15th to the
25th of May.
Again, if the weather, during the
, process of curing the hay, should
1 portend rain, you may stack it, and
afterwards take it down and sun and
cure it, as you would fodder.
Our lands will make two to three
tons to the acre?at -i cents per lb.,
worth $40 to $100 per acre. This
article, hay, is not taxed, hut cotton
is, about $20 per bale, directly and
indirectly. AVc raise taxed cotton to
Iniv nnf-jLYcd huv. As a matter of
pecuniary calculation, tlic policy is
suicidal. But. the old tradition
haunts the Bourbons, avIio "never
learn anything, and never forget anything,"
and all such declare "Cotton
King." This is a great mistake.
Cotton is king dethroned, but under
the ban, robbed, plundered, warred
upon, enormously taxed as a rebel
contraband; an outlaw, oppressed,
impoverished and like a high toned
cotton op orator in Columbus, Ga.,
in other days, is "An aristocrat in
rags."
Even in the corn-fields, after the
fodder is gathered, an immense amount
of hay ean ho saved, by work, attention,
and industry, and also along the
' ditches in the cotton .fields; but ci'flb- <
grass in the bloom cannot be well i
rsaved where so. shaded,'but should be
l.cut and cured in such localities, when. i
"more matured, .and running into the )
seed state'. * ... " -i
Any .' farmer or planter who will
followYhc ideas here presented, will
never, after this coming crop, buy a
bale of Northern hay, but will raise .
;an immense amount of provender, r
and save millionsYo our section.

Truths* for Wives:?in domestic
happiness the wife's influence is miicii
greater than tho,husband's; for the
one, the first cause?mutual love arid.
confidence?being granted, the whole
comfort of the household depends
upon trifles, more immediately under'
her jurisdiction. By her management
of small suinsj her husband's
respectability pr credit is created or
destroyed.. No fortune can stand tlje
constant leakages of extravagance or
mismanagement, and more is spent.in
trifles than women believe. The one
great expense no matter what it may
be, is turned over and carefully reflected
on; the income is prepared to
meet it; but it is pennies imp.ef ce^tif.
My sliding away tlra't do" the mischief.
And the wife alpne can stop ft, for it
does not come within a man's province.
There is often -an unsuspected trifle
tcf.be saved in every household.
- It is not in economy alone that the
wife's attention isso-nccessary^ut-.ib
tjiose niceties which make a well regulated
liome. An unfurnished cruetstand,
a missing key, a buttonless i
sliirt, a soiled table-cloth, a mustard
jiot with its old contents shaking hard
;and down about it, arc really.noth-J
iings?but each can raise an *angrv
word and cause discomfort. Depend
upon it, there is a great ?deal of domestic
happiness about a well dressed
mutton chop, or a tidy breakfast table.
Men grow sated of beauty, tired
of music, are often wearied of conversation,
howevcr.intellcctual, but they
can always appreciate.a well swept
hearth and smiling comfort.
A woman may-,* love her husband
devotedly?may sacrifice' fortune,
family, friends, country, for him?
she may have the genius of a Sappho,
the enchanted beauties of an Avmida; '
but melancholy, fact?if with these
she fails to make his home comfortable,
his heart will inevitably escape her.
And women live so entirely in the
affections, that without love their cx- j
istence is void. Dotter submit, then, j
to household tasks, however repugnant.
they may be to your tastes, than to
doom yourself io
