One Of the most novel ways Of hay
making ye: reported is that of a farmer
northeast of Pierre, who secured his hay
supply with IL header. AS the hay is sufli-
GENTLY "cured" before it is cut, lie works
with a regular header outfit, putting from
sixteen to twenty tons of hay in the stack

them to put it up in much less time than
by any other method yet put iu practice.
