CUTTING HAY WITH BINDER.
Progressive New York Farmers Find Little
to Commend the Practice

Progressive New York Farmers Find Little
to Commend the Practice
There are farmers who cut their tim
othy hay with binders and report good
results. According to correspondence In
the columns Of The Rural New Yorker,
there Is little to commend the practice.
A farmer writing from Schuyler conn
ty, N. Y, says:
have never used my binder for cut.
Ting timothy hay. | can see DO advan-
tage except in the way Of storage 1t
reems to me that the outside Of the bun
dies must be weather beaten before the
inside would be cured enough TO keep
when packed in the NOV. One of my
neigbbors used his binder for cutting
ripe timothy hay for seed, and claims
that it WAS a very successful way OF
handling this crop.
J. S. Woodward of western New York
writes:
have never seen binder that would
cut close epcagh to the ground to get
all the grass I like to cut timothy not
moro than two inches from the ground.
The stalks Of timothy shrink very much
in curing, and unless bound very tight
Iy the bundles would 'spill ont" when
being handled. II bound sufficiently
tight, the green grass would take long
time to dry out, and the outside would
srfTcr from weathering before the in
side was fit to put i'll the NOV. l like
to CUT timothy for hay, II for home

bloom. Efen a little before does no
harm. WE,n cut Mt this period. it con-
t;.ias 20 i.at Il moisture that think 1t
wouid 1t =. slow, expensive process to
get it wei. cured. 1t is possible, il

when expecting to scll the hay, until

cnt and borrd and made into fair hay,

to make the Practice commendable.

ougbly wilted, into Coed sized cocks,

cured Will lie grcener, brighter, sweetel
and more ralatahle md digestible than
that allowed TO get more mature before
cutting | am aware that the weight Of
hay cut from the same ground, when
cut so early, will be less than wher
standing to mature stage. and as thu
market calls for this ripper hay it is pol

fed on the farm-tbe net result IL
growing stock is in favor of early cut

Experiment with Nitrogen.

is experimenting with the new bottled
bacteria of leguminous plants. BE &C.
cured bottle of the special bacteria Of
red clover, and the plan is to work a
poor, sandy field we'll and add good
dressing of basic Stag and kainit. The
clover seed will then be soaked in q So
luton Of the nitrogen and sowed in the
usual manner The theory is that these
bacteria will at once begin their work
ON the clover plants and enable them to
absorb nitrogen from the air. If this is
what really happens, such seed ought to
produce good crop without any nj.
trogenous fertilizer. 1t is an interesting
experiment, and will be watched with
interest.

HAVING IMPLEMENTS.


Modern improvements which Save Time,
Labor and Money.
The mower, at one time considered
perfect with its cutter bar feet in
length, has been supplanted by ma
chimes of greater capacity, and now the
cutter bars are largely made s, 6, z and
even s feet in length, thus almost dou-
bling the efficiency of the machine. With
the introduction of the long cutter bar
it was doubted if a single team could
furnish the power to propel the ma
chine, but it was found that the addi-
ton Of even three feet TO the length of
the bar did not increase the draft in
proportion to the added width of the
cut and that the draft depended in a
great measure on the condition Of the
emitting knife and guards. And with the
finger bar and knife kept in good condi-
ton for effective work the draft was
less than tho narrow cut machine, with
this most important part neglected and
indifferently cared for. In heavy grass
it often becomes necessary for the swath
TO be moved. and the hay tedder per-
forms the work in far more satisfac-
tory manner than it can be done by
hand, and after rain, when the upper
part of the swath bleaches, while that
part next the ground holds the water,
10 how tedder becomes almost indis.

Items In TIle Draining.

There are two extremes in tile drain
ing. The beginner is apt to think tile
drains are only needed where water
stands on the surface in hollows and
has to be drawn off, but when this II
done it leaves tho soil in these hollows
so much dryer and better fitted for crop
ping that the farmer sees that even the
uplands, that had been supposed dry
enough, need draining also. Usually
the first drains are put in too shallow.
That, if continued, means large, use
less expenditure for tile. Nowhere
should underdrains be dug less thar
feet deep. They will then drail
perfectly to az rods on each side Of
the underdrain. The soil will hold sc
much more water with deep drain
that it will not require larger size thar
will shallow one. American Guilt

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
Things F.rmers oasht 70 Know Before
Applying Them

Things Farmers ought 70 Know Before
Applying Them
The principal featurs Of o farmers
bulletin on commercial fertilizers by E.
B. Voorhees, are brought out In the fol-
lowing summary
Commercial fertilizers are mainly
valuable because they furnish the eie-
ments-nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash-which serve as food, not as
Etimulants. The kind of farming in the
past and the demands for special prod
ucts in the present make their use neces-
sary in profitable farming.
In order to use these commercial fer
tiiizers profitably the farmer should
know. first. that nitrogen, phosphoric
acid ard potash are the essential MAJ
nuriai constituents; second, that the
agricultural value of these constituents
depends largely upon their chemical
form; third, that these forms are con-
tanned In specific products Of well de-
fined character and composition, and
may be purchased as such from dealers
and manufacturers, and may be mixed
successfully on the farm.
The agricultural value of fertilizer
bears no strict relation to the CONNER
cial value The one is determined by
soil, crop and climatic conditions, the
other by market conditions.
The variations in the composition and
value Of manufactured fertilizers which
contain the three essential constituents
are due to variations in the character
and in the proportion of the materials
| used
| The ton basis alone is not safe guide
In the purchase Of these commercial
fertilizers. Low ton prices mean either
low content of good forms of plant foot
or the use Of poorer forms. Fertilizers
high grade both in quality and quantity
Of plant food, cannot be purchased at {
low price per ton.
The best fertilizers cannot exert theil
full effect ON soils that are too dry Of
too wet. too compact or too porous
They can furnish but one of the oondi
tions-fertility.
The kind and amount of fertilizer I,
use should be determined by the valu,
of the crop grown and its power of nc
quiring food.
A definite system or plan should b
| adopted In the use of commercial fertil
izers. "Hit or miss" methods are ex
| pensive.

Hicks says of July; If the high
temperature does not abate about
the 18th, summer heat viii become
torrid during the Vulcan storm per
iod, l4th to 18th. A high barome-
ter and a change to more pleasant
weather will fall between the storms
of this period and the reactionary
disturbances centering ON the 21st
and 22d. About these dates more
storm conditions will develop-will
turn much warmer, barometer will
fall and clustering clouds with local
rains may be expected. If electrical
storms do not occur, the most in
tense and prolonged summer heat
attends the Venus period at this sea
son. Otherwise heat, drought and
hot winds will work disastrously in
many sections of the country. The
last general storm period for July
will fall from the 25th to 29th and
look for intense summer heat during
this period, the hot wave reaching a
crisis about the 9th to 10Th and
eliminating in many violent thun-
der storms, with probable tornadoes.
