BARLEY Hay the Best Of All.

For grain hay We believe barley Is
the best of all. says the Denver Field
and Farm. It grows as rapidly MS oats
or wheat and II properly managed may
be made to yield two crops from n
seeding. To do this the first cutting
should be done in July, when 1t has
headed out and the grains are begin
ming to fill. Use a mower for cutting,
and about "a hours later take q fork
and turn the rows over. The following
day In the afternoon the hay should be
cured sufficiently to be raked into wind
rows and hauled from the field. I'm.
mediately after hauling of turn the
water over the field, giving 1t m ordi-
nary course Of irrigation. This will
cause a new growth to put out from
the crowns, and a second irrigation will
probably be necessary to cause the
length Of growth desired. The second
crop can be allowed to stand a week or
two longer than the first, and let the
grain become half ripe before cutting.
The last cutting will not be so hard
to cure as the first. In regard to the
first cutting we will state that the two
days drying may not cure It sufficient
", and in that case it will be well to
spread 1t after hauling or else put 1t In
small shocks for awhile until we'll
cured before stacking. The object, In
removing the first cutting from the
field as soon as It will do to handle IL
that 1t is. generally necessary to irri
gate the field before the second crop
will start. The four rowed variety Of
barley ia best for hay when 1t Is the
purpose to grow two crops In a season.
