weather is clear and warm this is all
that Is needed. In about ten days to
two weeks from the time the hay is put
in barn 1t can then be baled. The barn
curing, like the field curing, is quickly
over. Do not let your hay remain un-
baled longer than two weeks, because it
loses not only its nutriment, but the
pleasant odor and beautiful color.
