ut Of the swath. because IN addition
to the labor in scattering and again
raking up. the hay is thereby greatly
injured. II the weather be favorable
for curing. neither timothy nor any
other kind Of hay should be scattered,
because the less any grass is exposed to
the sun in the process Of curing the
greater will be the value Of the hay and
the less labor required.
let the clover lie in the swath un-
touched until about two-thirds Of the
upper part is sufficiently cured, then turn
the swath bottom upward with . fork.
and let IL then lie exposed to the sun
until this side is cured. Clover hay viii

up bunch Of hay and twist It; II no

prevented BY bad weather. Sprinkling
every layer OF hay with salt, or inter-
posing layer Of good, dry straw from
six 70 eight inches thick. between every
two layers Of clover Of the same thick

tive; it will enable the farmer to put
Up hay in . far greener state than
could be otherwise done with safety.
Besides this advantage, the straw in
terposcd between the layers Of hay, BY
absorbing its juices. will be rendered
much more valuable rs provcnder, and
II salt be sprinkled on the hay, tho
straw. absorbing the juices Of the hay
and salt. will be greedily consumed
both By cattle and horses.
The farmer must be blind to his own
interest who does not take care to pro-
vide himself with at least a. much
clover as will furnish an abundant sup
piy OF feed for his stock. Clover
