CURING HAY.
when it Should Be Done-What to
Avoid.

Avoid.
So much depends on climate, sun
shine and wind that no definite rules
can be laid down for cutting and cur
ing hay If possible, hay should be
housed on the day of cutting, but this
will only answer if the NOW is large
and the amount to be stored limited.
Those who grow the crop on a large
scale adopt the plan of cutting 1t late
in the afternoon. There is no moist
IRE on the grass at his time, and it is
so late that it does not wilt at all that
night. and therefore is not injured by
the dew. The next day after the dew
is off it should be tossed twice by the
tedder. and, after it is thoroughly
wilted. it should be raked up and put
into good sized shocks, covered with
waterproof hay caps TO protect II
from dew or rain, and left to cure.
Exposure to the sun for few hours
lust before drawing to the barn Will
complete the process.
The common mistake in making hay
is usually allowing it to lie in the hot
sun too long The best hay is made by
air curing rather than by sun drying.
AS far as possible hay should be cured
in the bunch. 1t may be cooked up
much greener than formerly believed.
provided it is fairly wilted and con-
tains no extraneous moisture. If al
lowed to sweat before drawing it will
rarely heat in the NOW.
When hay is first cut it should lie
long enough in the sunlight to dry it
sufficiently to allow it to be readily
raked together into windows. The
hay tedder is of great assistance in
curing the hay by tossing it in the air,
thus exposing it so that all moisture
is rapidly dried out When cured by
the wind rather than the sun hay pre-
serves not only its green color, but he
aroma which renders 1t so palatable
to stock. AS the nutritive properties
of grass are all soluble in rain or dew,
care must be taken to protect the hay
from all moisture. If exposed to a
long rain it becomes almost as worth
less as straw, so greatly is its feeding
value impaired.
In no direction have farmers pro-
crossed more than in their methods
of curing hay. 1t is no longer con-
sidered necessary to get every particle
of moisture out of the grass. Excess
siye dryness is avoided. They have
learned the difference between curing
and over curing, and that while hay
when twisted should not show moist
ure, neither should it be so dry as to
show brittleness.

Asbury Park, N. J., July 12.-This
was an ideal day for bicycling, all
the sudden change from the depressed
weather of yesterday was thoroughly
enjoyed by the army of wheelers who
own seven-eighths of this town.
The attendance during the trial
heats at the athletic ground this morn
ing numbered 5000.
There were several spills during the
morning, but the most serious one was
the fall of F. D. White, on the
stretch in the first heat of the half-mile
national championship for classes a
and B. He was carried on a stretcher
to the hospital tent, but was able to
mount his wheel again in the forenoon
and won heat in the one mile open
race
The event of the day was that Of
the half-mile national championship
open alike to classes A and 3 men. An
unusually large field of entries was
disposed of, through tedious series of
trial heats. When the final heat was
called the four to line up were Bald,
Mcdonald, Murphy and Zeigler, the
latter all bandaged after his fall of
yesterday and presenting sorry spec
tacle. Bald took the lead in the start,
followed by Murphy, with Zeigler and
Mcdonald trailing. In the finish Bald
set the pace, Mcdonald alongside, and
just at the tap the latter made a
phenomenal jump and landed ahead
of Bald over the tape The audience
cheered Mcdonald, but the judges gave
the decision to Bald.
The two-thfrd mile open, class B
event, Was a six man affair, Bald, Gar
diner. Murphy, Porter, Coulter and
Jenny qualifying. Ball had the pole,
and in the start took the lead. In the
back stretch of the last lap, Murphy
climbed to the front and at the turn
still had the lead, with Bald and Car
diner abreast. Bald cut for home and
came in an easy winner, Murphy a
length behind and Porter hanging on.
Fifteen men qualified for the final
of the two mile special class B handi-
cap, but these included none of the
cracks, except Coulter and johnson.
In the professional mile handicap,
Con Baker and Silvie made their irst
appearance as professionals" and rs
they entered late in the game, had to
go back to scratch. Silvie gave up in
the second lap, but Baker made a
game fight until near the finish, and

There is not a great deal of difference
in the price of meat and poultry, which
is easily digested, ought to be more on
meat product used on the farm is pork.
That is always hard to digest, and If
more of the vital energy expended in di-
costing pork were used in pushing farm
work and planning better methods. farm
ing would pay better than it does. The
poultry yard should not be regarded as
only means to make more money. If
it helps to make farm life more attrac-
tive it will be no less profitable than If
it added directly to the bank account.

Citizens of Wyoming Are Very De-
termined.

Rawlins, Wyo., July 12.-Senator Clark
and Judge knight arrived from Evanston
this morning. Judge Knight says there
has been bad feeling between settlers and
Indians at Jackson Hole for some time,
and that the Indians have been killing
stock for hides. tearing down fences and
trampling down crops.
The people have determined to put
stop to this and warrants were sworn out
a few days ago for the Indians, which
were placed in the hands of the game
warden for service
Senator Clark says he has laid the
statement before the Indian department.
The settlement is over 200 miles from
Evanston, the county seat. Local authori-
ties have the matter in hand and there
will certainly be trouble unless the In
dams desist in their lawless acts.

be able to take care of themselves unless

TO GET RID OF CuRRANr WORMS.

Insert a branch of common pine into
the middle of the currant or goose
berry bush, and the worms will not
come into it, or if they are already
there, they will leave at once. This
remedy is far better than the use of
hellebore, and if the worms come
twice, this will prevent the second
visit.-E. Learned, Mass

CURING HAY.

The usual method in the hay field
is to get the hay into the barn as
rapidly as possible. A longer time for
curing would in many instances be
profitable. When hay is spread in a
scorching sun, evaporation is so rapid
a great part of the essential material
in the grass is lost and the hay be-
comes harsh and insipid. If grass is
green when cut, let 1t become wilted
and partially dried, then rake into
wiAnows until nightfaH and then put
into cocks and leave until cured, using
sufficient care not to allow souring in
the cock. When the NOW is filled, a
coating of straw or old hay, six inches
deep, we'll stamped down, will prevent
sour and musty hay on tops. A. III.
