How to Harvest Giayer.
The proper way to harvest clover Is
the proper way and there is but one
proper way. In the first place do not
cut it too green, nor allow it to get too
ripe. When about half the top blooms
get ripe and brown and some of the
leav" begin to brown then it is the
time TO cut it for hay If the weather is
dry; otherwise let it stand a few days
longer-for its better to let it grow
than to get itswet'hi the swathe. 1t
does not ripen fast in rainy weather,
but continues to grow.
Do not begin moving until the dew
has gone off in the morning. Never
cut it when wet-or the hay will be
damaged. 1t Is best to cut for only a
few hours and if the clover is not I'M
usually heavy it can be raked late in
the afternoon in windows and shock
ed, when it can stand several days be-
fore stacking. This is the best way,
If the weather is favorabl , as the hay
cures brighter and better Otherwise
let it stand in the windrow and spread
out the next day TO cure, and stack in
the afternoon.
BY putting 1t in the windrow it saves
it from getting wet by the dew. which
is almost as bad on it as rain.
Should it rain on it. spread out and

to handle it without the leaves falling
off. A gallon or two of salt to the load
sprinkled over 1t at the time of stack
ing improves 1t in color and prevents
1t molding. 1t should be stacked in the
barn, or, If outdoors, covered with
straw or something that will turn wa
