Hay Carefully Cured.

Hay that has beer dried too little is
likely to become hot in the NOV, injuring
Its quality and making ii brown, black or
musty, on the other hand, the grass may
be dried too much before putting into the
barn, thus rendering the stalks stiff and
woody and of less value for food. Its favor
and odor are injured, and cattle do not
like il as well.
find the best quality OF hay is that
which is placed 10 small cocks after
having been well wilted in the sun and
left standing in cocks day or two until
dry enough for the barn This plan works
particularly well for clover hay, because
the leaves are less likely to overdry and
and be broken off in handling. Some
good hay makers test a wisp of hay by
twisting it hard in the hands, and if a
drop Of juice squeezes out they consider it
not dry enough.
AS to the 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 distracted from
the stalk to form seed, and the bulk OF
the hay is little better than straw.~-Amer-
lean Cultivator.

THE YOUNG WOODPECKERS

They Found "A Defender In "a Brave
Little Boy.
Philip was a brave little boy. All the
other boys looked up to him and liked
to have him In their parties when they
went swimming or tramping. But they
all agreed that he was queer about
birds and things"
The others liked to collect birds eggs
and did not hesitate to take all they
could find leaving many little bird
homes perfectly empty. Philip never
disturbed so much as one egg. All
spring he watched a beautiful yellow
plumed woodpeCker drilling q hole in Il
hollow tree and building his nest there
The hole was quite high, but one Of the
boys determined to get the eggs. He
knew, however that he would have to
do 1t when Philip was away. SO one
day when he thought Philip was Off on
a tramp he took a small saw and went
to the tree. He had reached con
venient limb and was commencing to
saw when Philip came running and
shouting
The boy was SO startled that he slid
down. dropping his saw. and ran as
though he had seen ghost

happened TO meet him one day, he call

Mammoth Glover.

| am favorably disposed to the use
Of mammoth clover. Failure results
from insufficient preparation of the
soil, excessive dryness, density of shade
and light seeding. Thorough tillage IN
the fore part of the summer Will do
much toward securing good catch.
Mammoth or pen vine clover is a
stronger grower than common red. II
is q great mistake to economic by
sowing thinly, Not less than fifteen
pounds per acre should be used, and
twenty pounds will usually give better
results. A well developed plant in Oc-
