any kind of grubs, cut and dried, for the food of cattle.
The time of mowing grubs for hay, must be regulated according to its growth and ripeness; nothing being more prejudicial to the crop than mowing it too soon, because the sap is not then fully come out of the root, and when made into hay, it shrinks away to nothing. It must not, however, be let stand too long, till it have shed its seeds. When the tops of the grubs look brown, and begin to bend down, and the red honey-fuckle flowers begin to wither, you may conclude it ripe for mowing.
