The Hay Harvest The hay harvest has begun. Apart from

the use of silos, which set one sort of hay-making in action a month ago, the cutting of all grass is recommended before it is ripe. The younger the grasses, the fuller of food. Many of the crops, quite against expectation, look heavy and have come early. Indeed, it may be said that all farm crops look well, though annual weeds aft-s are enjoying a heyday. Some fields, almost immune last year, are as yellow with Charloch, as if they had been sown to mustard (of which very little has been allowed).
