HAY CAREFULLY CURED.

Hay that has been dried too little Is
likely to become hot in the now, in.

black or musty. On the other hand
the grass may be dried too much be-
fore putting into the barn. thus render.
ing the sticks stiff and woody, and of
less value for food. Its flavor and odOr
are injured and cattle do not like it SO
well.
| find the best quality of hay is that
which is placed in small cocks after
having been well wilted in the sun and
left standing in cocks day or two un
til dry enough for the barn. This plan
works particularly we'll for clover, be-
cause the leaves are less likely to over.
dry and be broken off in handling.
Some good hay makers test wisp of
hay by twisting it hard in the hands,
and If a drop of juice oZees out they
consider 1t not dry enough.
AS to time of cutting, the common
mistake is to leave it too long rather
than cutting it too early. When too
ripe. food materials have been alb.
stracted from the stack to form seed.
ard the bulk of the hay is little better
than straw. W. Ingram, in the

PREVENTING RLOAT.

Great care should be observed in
turning cattle on clover in the spring.
While there is always more or less
danger from bloat in pasturing cattle,
particularly young stock, on clover.
the danger is greater in the case of
mich cows that have been fed in the
barn on dry grain all winter.
They should be allowed 10 run on
pasture only n short time each day
at first, and never early in the morning,
when the dew is on and when the
animal is hungry. 1t is always safer TO
turn cattle onto clover Immediately
after a good feed of grain. If clover
is TO be pastured the cattle should have
access to other fields of grass. such as
timothy, bluegrass and succotash.
When cows are attacked by bloat
they should have immediate attention
or the malady may prove fatal. They
can often be relieved by the use of the
trocar. the use of which every farmer
should he familiar with if he pastures
cattle on clover any season of the
year.-Farmers Guide.
