1t is easy to spoil the best hay by over
curing it. 1t is well known by experts III
xtraccting oils and essences from plants
that exposure to the heat of the sun or any
other heat has the effect of dissipating the
volatile matter which consists of the oils,
and Of changing, as has been said. the
soluble matters into insoluble, and conse-
quently indigestible substance. Every
farmer knows that he cannot get the milk
Of the cream or the growth from common
hay that ne can from the grass, and this is
the result Of the common method of max
ing hay. We sun it and turn it and even
| employ machines to keep it in the air and
the suns heat as much as possible, until
1t is so dry as to break under the feet.
The English farmers know better than
this and refuse to buy our hay at any price
1t is too green for them and this greenness
is an evidence that it has been cured too
quickly. Wemay learn a good deal about
curing hay by the experience gained in the
practice OF ensilage and curing fodder by
moist heat In the shade, and this teach
es the value of getting rid of the water of
the grass by the heat of the fermentation
which occurs when the merely wllted hay
is put in cocks and left to ferment and heat
and become slightly brown. 1t is then In
its most valuable condition for feeding,
and contains all the nutriment of the young
grass, and WI en- fed to cows produces the
same gilt edged butter that is made of the
early pasture of June.
Thus the scientific method of making
hay is based on these principles above set
forth, and in cutting the grass we do not
merely dry it, but we cure it in the full
sense of the term. The mower is started
early in the morning, as soon as the dew
is dried, and is kept at work until noon.
