HOW TO RAKE HAY.
What n Pennsylvania Farmer Knows
About the Operation.


About the Operation.
The merit of any implement or ma
chine depends upon the wise use of it,
and in making hay time and labor are
often lost by the unslSillful use of the
implements. In raking for instance,
one may go over the ground twice in
both ralSing and loading, by the unwise
method of raking TO avoid this the
side-delivery rake has been devised, but
it is of no use to one who knows how
to use the common dumping sulliy rake.
My plan has always been to begin at one
side of the field. early in the morning,
when the hay is ready for it, and rake
the hay into winrows, turning at the
other side of the field, and SO going
back and forth, continually adding to
the length of the winrows. Then,
when the loader comes along in the af-
| ternoon, there will be load in each
winrow on any good-sized field, and the
load may be gathered without turn.
Or, if the hay is loaded by hand, the
wagon is drawn between two winrows
and loaded from each side. This makes
quick work. 1t is always wise to have
the hay ra1ed half day before it is
loaded, and after the first day the load.
ing may begin in the morning: when
there has been no rain at night, the
dew will dry off in the loading and un.
loading.-A Pennsylvania Farmer, in

tened with pegs, so that when cleaning
is necessary their removal is a very
simple matter The arrangement of
the furniture" will be understood by
referring to the accompanying plan.
This, however, is only part of my
house. BY trap-door we have access
to the second floor This door is raised
by pulley and cord and held by a drop
latch. In the winter this is used as a
corn crib and is perfectly rat proof.
Here, also, | keep bins in which are
corn, wheat, oats, etc.-my chicken
feed-which is measured as put in, and
thus | keep an accurate account as to
the cost of my flock. In the spring,
when the corn is largely fed, it needs
but a slight sprinkling of earth and
sand and an oil stove to transform my
second floor into brooder house for
my extra early chicks, where they are
easily and economically cared for till
the weather moderates sufficiently to
allow the chicks to live outdoors. If
desired, third floor can be laid over
part of the second by running boards
across on the plates. Here may be
stored the coops, your sunfowers, cane
seeds and such other stuff as seems
scarcely to have any place OF its own.
IL the summer, when no longer needed
for brooder house, and nearly empty OF
corn this second floor will be very con,
venient for curing onions, moving
away sheaf oats and the thousand
other uses to which you can put space
when you have it.
| did all the work on this building
myself, and used timber sawed off the
farm, utilizing the odds and ends
which wasteful carpenters left from my
new house, and thus the actual cash
cost has been only very few dollars -

The VALUE OF BRAN.
1t Can He Fed to Good Advantage in
hummer.


Summer.
With nearly all kinds of stock bran
can be fed to good advantage, and espe-
ctally SO during the summer. At the
prices it is usually sold at during the
summer it makes one of the very cheap
est foods that can be supplied. Some
use more or less in the dairy; but while
1T makes a valuable food for the cows
and teams, brood mares and growing
pigs can be given more or less to a good
advantage. 1t can be fed for milk, for
growth, to .add to the variety, and for
manure. For fertilizing alone it adds
nearly or quite its cost to the manure
and for this purpose at least it is worth
twice the value of coarse meal. One
advantage in feeding it is that there is
little or no waste, is easily assimilated
and contains but small amount of in
digestible material 1t is also in con-
dition to be combined to good advan-
tage with other materials. In itself ii
| is not complete food; in feeding in
nearly all cases its best results are Sc
cured by feeding in connection with
other materials. With the mich cows,
oil meal, corn meal and bran with good
pasturage make complete ration for
milk and butter.
With growing pigs bran can be used
with middlings. ground oats, barley OF
cornmeal, and if made into slop with
sweet skim milk with any of these il
will aid materially in securing a strong
vigorous growth with good develop
ment of bone and muscle. For the
teams bran can be combined with al
most any kind of grain with benefit
while with unthreshed oats, if they are
run through a cutting box, it makes
one of the best rations that can be sup
piled.
Many purchase bran all through the
winter from necessity; in many local.
ties from this time out 1t can be secured
at fair prices, so that generally it can bt
bought and used in connection with
other materials to good advantage.
When grain raising is combined with
stock feeding the manurial value of al
feeds must be considered if the fertility
of the soil is to be kept up, and will
bran this is one item gained, as it is ont
of the best materials that can be fed t.
