THE RIGHT TIME TO CUT GRASS.
To make themost AID best hay, is certainly
earlier than most IF us have heen taught
to believe.
Practical experiment has proven that>a
ton OF hay made from grass cut as n,ar
the time of towering us possible, when il
contains all of its nutrlive pop rites, IL
without doubt worth ut least one-ihiri
more than when cut ut the usual tl'nc.
Without the hay t,dder, unless larg'
amount of hand labor is used, it is aim {
impossible to make good hay from - -
cut early.

into ar-dried hay, like green wood season.
ed under cover, il weighs heavier 1t is
also far better feed, producing greater
results.
When grass is cut at the right time,
seeding is not near ms liable to RIM out.
With clover, when the second crop is
wanted for seed, it is the only successful
course to be pursued. lt
Among the most valuable of improved
implements, the HAY TEDDER RANKS
FIRST. Not only because air-dried and
quickly made hay is best and most nutri-
tious, that one pound cut carly before 1t
becomes woody, is worth two, cut an sun
scorched on top in the old way, but be-
cause, with the Tedder the grass cut in the
earlier part of the day can usually he
made into iirst.class hay, and put under
cover the same day, aroidiag a rdst amount
of labor, and risk of change of weather,
With attendant loss. Many suppose that
grass cannot be put in better shape to make
hay than as left by moving machines.
This is mistake.
1t usually falls quite compact, the team
and mower pass over the swath and pack
it more closely to the ground, SO that it is
only the top which dries, while the under
side remains for hours almost ms green as
when first moved. Put the Tedder into
this grass shortly after it is cut, and how
changed its condition.
1t lies up loose, the air passes through
il, and in less that half the usual time 1t
is made into frst-class hay.
Should there be no sunshine, but light
breeze. hay can be well made by using
tedder.
If by any miscalculation grass is cut
and rained on. the tedder will do the work
of twenty men in shaking out the water,
putting it in the best condition TO dry,
saving hay enough sometimes in one day
to half pay for itself. =.
By being able to do the haying early, it
is out of the way, so that other perhaps
equally important work can be done at the
right time. :.
No one who has fully investigated the
advantages of using hay tedder. and
certainly no one who has used the imple-
ment will for moment doubt its great
utility, and that it is money IN the pocket to
own and understandingly use this machine.
ANEW USE FOR A HAY TEDDER!
The Tedder makes a most excellent
Maaure Spreader," shaking and spread
ing manure nearly, if not quite, as well as
many of the high priced machines used
for that purpose. ..,i, :.
