Although the clover was growing rapidly, a frost was feared, which would do it very material damage. An unusual amount of this crop will be cut this year, which will make up, in a measure, the deficiency in the first crop. While the first crop exceeded the general expectation in early summer, we think every prudent farmer will take proper measures to cut and take care of all the second growth that will pay day wages for mowing.
If cut before the frosts, and properly cured, no hay relishes better with the cattle, especially the younger animals.
