Tho best time for cutting grass for hay is
now a question Of more account than before
the use of moving machines and horse rakes.
Then, OF necessity, on the large farms, hay
ing began early and continued late. II not
only began early in the season aud continued
till late in the season, but il began early in
the morning and continued till late at night.
The time taken for haying has been reduced
at least half by the use Of machinery, count
ing days, and the number of hours of labor
in q day has been materially lessened. For
merly Il was necessary to cut some grass be-
fore II was fully grown, or much of il after
it had passed it's best condition. In our boy
hood August was almost or quite AZ much Of
hay month as July. On farms where II
took six or eight weeks to finish the haying,
with such help az could be had or AZ the
farmer thought he could afford to employ,
there WAS little choice Of the time for cutting
the grass. Some Of it must be cut either too
early or too late, but now the mower and the
horse rake have shortened the haying season
so that on most farms Il need hardly be long
or than the difference in the time of the
growth of the different pieces of grass.
