will not apply to our climate, which has
DRYER atmosphere and more ardent sun
than any part of Great Britain. Thus Lou
don SAYS, scare should be taken to propor-
ton the number of hay-makers to that OF
the mowers, so that there may not be more
grass on hand at time than can be man
aged. This proportion is about twenty nay
makers, (of which number twelve may be
women) to four mowers; the latter are some.
times taken half day to assist the former.
In this country it is thought that cutting the
grass is about half the labour of making and
securing the hay crop; and women are rare
ly employed.


In moving without due degree OF skill,
the labour is very severe. If mars scythe
is not we'll hung on the snath or snead, ne
will do better to hang it on fence, and be-
take himself to some other employment
than attempt to cut grass with 1t. ne
Farmers Assistant says, "the sneads most
commonly used are bent in twisted shape;
but some use a snead which is nearly Ill
the shape of half circle, and the latter are
always preferred by those who have become
used to them. They take a wider swath
with the same extension of the arms; larg-
er cut and therefore may be slower; requires
less STOPPING; and from the position OF the



of the scyhte into the grass, being more
twisted round to the right, little more is re-
qusite than bringing the body to its natural
posture to carry the scythe through"


I.oudon says, "the waste Of grass on being
dried into hay, is supposed to be parts in
four by the time 1t is laid on the stack, 1t IL
then further reduced by heat and evapora-
tion, in about a month perhaps about one
twentieth more, or 600 lbs. OF grass are re-
duced to o5 lbs. of hay, and between that
and 80 it continues through the winter
From the middle Of March till September,
the operations of trussing and marketing ex-
pose it so much to the sun and wlna, as 70
render it considerably lighter probably 90;
that is hay which would weigh 90 the instant
it is separated from the stack, would waste to
so lin trussipg. exposure on the road, and
at market for about twenty-four hours,) by
the time it is usually delivered to the pur
chaser. During the following winter. the
waste will be little or nothing. 1t is nearly
obvious that the same hay will weigh on de-
livery so in summer, and 80 in winter From
this circumstance. and others which relate
to price, farmer may determine what sea-
son of the year is most advisable tor him to
sell his hay"
