We love To see people patriotic and we
would love TO see the Beers, the Flipinos
the Cubans, the Porto Ricans and all other
nations so free that they were free to Join in
with Johnny Bull or Uncle Sam or to be a
separate government within themselves since
nation has no more right To govern an UNI
willing nation than an American has to
govern slaves. tf
Making hay has just begun in this section
and we think that our farmers make a mis-
take by leaving their grass stand too long
To cut grass when 1t is green is To cut il
when stock will eat it if turned into If, but
to leave grass stand until it is ripe, the
blades and seed are all lost and nothing is
left but the wooden stock, which the cattle
refuse to eat in the summer and they will
also refuse to eat it in the winter # they can
get any green hay. Some claim tina, ripe
hay Is less apt To spoil than green, which is
sad mistake, since hay like fruit, will keep
longer If gathered green than ripe. II
grass Is mown green the fall pasture is also
better, and II field is harvested late three
years in succession the sod is ruined but
pasture field can be nippcd for years and
the sod will improve, thus showing that TO
cut grass when green there is more life i'm
the root and the meadow will improve. IL
piece OF wheat or oats is cut before the
grain is developed, the straw makes rich
provender, but II left to ripen, the straw il
not very nutritious. If hay Is put in stack
when ripe, the rats and mice will ruin the
slack and IT In NOW the same results are
obtained. AS to the seed IN hay. there are
but very few animals that maslicaic the seed
when left in the hay. If milch COW is fed
green hay, she will give about Is per cent.
more milk than when fed on dry hay. One
ton OF green hay has more faltcning qualities
in IT than two tons of hay that Is dead rioe.
What do you say old farmers
