family of children. She lives in Good

OUT YOUR MEADOW HAY.

There are quite a number OF farm"
ers living on meadow farms, whose
grass is plenty large enough to CUT
but who keep putting off the cutting
of it IN the hope, perhaps, to secure a
larger yield. In this the wisdom is
scarcely obvious. If a farmer has
grass that is high enough to cut we
should advise him, by all means, to
cut it and secure the benefits of the
market during the present scarcity.
Not only will he derive a benefit by
being early to market, but every day
he waits, if living on a river bottom
as is the case of many of our hay
farmers, he runs the chance of having
his crop more or less injured and per-
haps destroyed by the rising OF the
waters, as has been the case in former
years. Securing a crop while it stands
in fair condition, even if somewhat
early, is wisdom. Since bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush, a ton
of hay available to the mower is worth
two under water water or laying flat
on the ground. BY starting the mower
early you will get employment for it
after your own is cut, thereby getting
better interest on your money invest
ed in it. Cut your hay now if it is in
fair condition.

with thirty.fve to fifty bushels, the
usual load on country roads. These
cylinders are intended to be made,
ordinarily, of hard wood with wrought
iron tires and trunnion boxes. The
only frame necessary is the light
wrought iron bar passing around the
cylinders attached to the trunnions
and to the center pole both before and
in the rear of the cylinders.
We hardly need refer to the advan-
tages of such grain cart in hauling
q large crop Of wheat to the railroad
station or warehouse. On many large
prairie farms the wheat crop is
threshed out in the fields, cleaned up
and moved direct to the station for
shipment. One team with one of these
grain carts would do the work of four
to six teams with four to six wagons
and four to six men; or a man with
one team would save three days. time
and labor each day in getting his grain
to market or a shipping point. In
many cases the work of getting the
grain to market or shipping point,
comes just at a time when the farmer
wants to be ut work getting his land
ready for fall sowing, when time is
everything, and when the time thus
saved in single season would pay for
the cylinder grain CART

Hay.

1t has long been supposed that early
cut hay is more valuable than that
cut later. If the Judgment Of the
COWS were to test, there would be no
question about it. They will leave
the ripper hay, and even refuse to eat
it at all, if they can procure that
which has been cut earlier. Milk
falls off more than 10 per cont. when
the young hay is changed for that
cut two weeks later. This Is sufficient
to support the general opinion in spite
of chemical analyses, which go to
show that ripe hay is heavier, moro
bulky, and contains more nutritious
substance, than that cut earlier. Per.
haps the operations Of the chemist
can extract more nutriment from ripe
hay than can the cows stomach; but
az young hay feeds more pro6tably,
IT. seems best to eut early.
