HAY IN NEW ENGLAND. 
Turf, Farm and Home, pubMshed at 
Watervllle, Me., has the following account 
of the farm operations of Mr. Fred Pol¬ 
lard, who sold a business in a town and 
bought a farm on the Kennebec River. This 
was two years ago and the farm was then 
sadly neglected. Now the reporter says: 
“While a good crop of hay was harvest¬ 
ed last year it was nothing compared to 
what will be gathered this season, and 
Mr. Pollard estimates that the good work 
has only just begun. He says he shall not 
be satisfied with anything less than 35 
tons this year, and that is just one-third 
of what he expects the farm to cut in the 
immediate future. The most gratifying 
part of this all is that it has been brought 
about without the expenditure of a large 
amount of either capital or labor. In 
fact, with the exception of haying time, 
Mr. Pollard has only had one boy, but this 
boy has been largely employed in hauling 
dressing from the stables In Waterville 
and Fairfield. Mr. Pollard made arrange¬ 
ments with the livery stables to furnish 
them with their straw for bedding, and 
to receive their dressing in return, and the 
result has been very gratifying. The 
coarse strawy material has had a splendid 
effect in breaking up the rather heavy 
clay soil of the farm, hence the great yield 
of hay. It was thought by some that Mr. 
Pollard paid a good price for a run-out 
farm when he purchased it, but he will 
readily sell hay enough off the place after 
wintering a good stock to pay every dol¬ 
lar of the purchase price in a few years.’’ 
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican de¬ 
scribes the grass grown by Major W. F. 
Pond, of Massachusetts, as follows: 
“The grass is five feet high, is very 
thick, and will yield four tons to the acre, 
which is saying a good deal, as the aver¬ 
age in Massachusetts is about three- 
fourths of a ton to the acre. 'I’he grass 
that Major Pond is growing almost ex¬ 
clusively is Herd grass, as it yields more 
than most kinds, and is ready to be cut 
60 days after planting. Major Pond the 
other night took a reporter out to his field 
and showed him some of the hay. He lays 
his great success in growing grass for hay 
to the fact that he uses much more and 
richer manure than most farmers. He 
said: ‘If the farmers of Massachusetts 
used more brain and less hand work, they 
could accomplish what 1 accomplish every 
year on this 30-acre piece of land. The 
main weakness of most farmers is that 
they let their money stay in some of the 
Worcester banks, instead of buying lots 
of manure and fertilizing the land as they 
should, and then they wonder why tney 
cannot get large crops of hay. I expect 
and will get 100 tons of hay off this small 
farm, and if anyone doubts this he can 
come at any time and 1 will convince him 
that what I say is correct.’ ’’ 
Angora Goats.— I recently saw a herd 
of 420 Angora goats, which a man in 
this county has brought up from Texas. 
They were all in one field, and attracted 
considerable attention. It is supposed 
that they will live on bushes, weeds and 
such stuff that nothing else will eat. 
They were browsing on willows and 
other bushes, some standing on their 
hind legs to reach for the branches. The 
prices asked for them run from $5 to 
$10 each. I can’t see that they are any 
better than sheep, except for their dis¬ 
position to browse, as they might clear 
up a neglected farm or piece of new 
land. M. D. H.
