BENEFIT OF CHOPPING HAY, &c. 
A great deal may be saved to every farmer by the use 
of a good straw-cutter. A physician, who keeps but 
one horse, assures us, that kept in the usual way, with 
hay and mill feed, the food cost fifty dollars a year — 
now, by a cutter, the cost is only thirty. What, then, 
would be the saving for twenty cows and five horses ? 
Does some one ask how this great saving is made ? 
We answer: 1st. There is no waste by treading under 
foot; 2dly, the food is more easily fitted for mastica¬ 
tion, and is quickly ground up, and digests more per¬ 
fectly— a most important advantage; 3dly, animals eat 
readily a great deal of nutritious food otherwise reject- 
(d, as straw, coarse hay, and corn stalks, mixed to¬ 
gether—-thus nothing is allowed to waste; 4thly, work¬ 
ing animals obtain their meals more quickly, and have 
more time to rest; 5thly, the chopped food may be 
seasoned with a little meal, and thus grain and hay all 
be taken together, which is found to be much better 
than to feed unmixed, unground, and unchopped ma¬ 
terials. 
“Cutting hay,” says a late writer, “is like making 
mince meat.” There is nearly the same nutriment in 
the tough pieces, and even gristle, as in the tender.ones. 
Now chop these up fine, and properly cook and season 
them, and the dish is eaten with peculiar relish, easily 
digests, and goes twice as far as in the ordinary method 
of taking meat in slices.” 
ECONOMY OF TIME. 
Scarcely a farmer who is now reading these words, 
but who may think of some portion of the day, it may 
be only ten minutes, which he can devote to agricultu¬ 
ral reading. Perhaps he spends already that much time 
in sitting idle, or in dipping into politics needlessly — 
could not a little improvement be made ? And how 
much would the daily ten minutes be in a year ? Five 
whole days, of ten hours each — for storing the mind 
with useful, profitable, and enduring facts. Now we 
have known more than one farmer to save frequently 
five, ten, or twenty dollars, bj 7- means of a single valuable 
idea, obtained through an agricultural paper. What a 
yearly loss, then, too many sustain, who throw these 
I>apcrs aside ! 
Every farmer should continue to give the best atten¬ 
tion to his domestic animals. It is diligence only that 
can be crowned with success. The farmer must not 
trust too much to his help, but see for himself.
