A correspondent m the .New Englaud Homestead who has had experience in the matter claims that salting hay is a bad practice. Thiá is what he says abont it: "I claim that hay should never be salted, as salt causes the hay to become wet and afterward moldy. I care not liow imich ov litrle salt is nsed on ha}', it will not como otit of the mow as bright and sweet as where none is used. I was once a firm believer in salting hay, and also in opening all the doors in the barn when I began to get in my hay and leaviug them open untü cold weather set hi. 1 have since learned that both are injurióos to the hay. For the last eight years I have not salted any bay nor left my doors open at night, and have liad no inoldy hay.''
