MAKE HASTE IN HAYINo.
Try and Have Cutting Done In First
Bloom.

The nearer hay approaches grass
the better feed 1t makes. To accom-
plish this. It is necessary to cut the
crop early to secure 1t in good condi-
ton. In the first blossom Is the Ideal
time. Farmers used to think It neces-
sary to dry hay excessively before
storing. Advanced ideas have proved
this method entirely wrong. The nat
ural juices Of the hay should be re-
tanned as far as possible. Excessive
drying makes the hay dry and woody.
and removes a large part Of its nat
ural juices.
l commence haying usually the last
week in June. says write In Farm
and home, and, weather permitting
my hay is stored during July. / find 1t
a good plan to put the mower on late
in the afternoon. This leaves 1t for
the first sun In the morning and 1t
willis a good deal during the night,
which aids the drying next day. II
cut In the morning heavy with dew, 1t
takes half the forenoon to get the wa
ter out of 1t. Some think the dew will
color hay cut In the afternoon, but 1t
will not do so unless cut early enough
to dry considerably.
The middle Of the forenoon the
tedder should be put on and worked
until noon. The tedder Is the most
valuable hay tool that we have. With
out it much hay would get wet, that
otherwise is safely stored in semi-dull
weather. Hay dries very fast when
constantly stirred. This is only possi-
BILE with a tedder.
BY one o'clock the hay Is ready to
rake and cart, unless 1t Is very early
In the season or very heavy hay. In
that case 1t should BE put up In good
sized cocks and left until the next day.
when 1t should be opened a little to
air, then carted to the barn. Most OF
the necessary drying has been accom-
plished In the cocks.
There y little danger Of hay NOW.
burning from the natural juices; 1t
is caused by introducing hay that has
been wet For this reason 1t Is essen
tial that hay that has been wet should
be thoroughly dried before storing.
The quicker hay is cured after cutting
the better 1t Is. Swale hay requires
more drying than timothy or clover to
secure It from mow-burning. Swale
should be cut early; 1t is practically
worthless cut late.

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

Don't let any clouds get between
you and the sunshine. r..
The farmers road to success is
paved with good resolutions.
Lie down and stretch out few
minutes every day. Shut your eyes
and let the world go. It will do you
more good than anything else.
Trying to be successful farme,
without industry, economy and mod
ern methods, is in the same line with
perpetual motion-has not been
solved.
Sip the cold water you drink these
days. A lot of cold water gulped
down will be apt to bring on collie,
You haven't the time nor strength to
waste In that way s,t-
When heavy winds come up, shut
the doors at the barn and at the
house. II you don't. you may find
your roof away over In the back lot.
and that would not be much fun.

Managing the Workers.

Managing the workers on a farm is
a science in itself. It Is a science that
few have studied sufficiently. Plan
ming out the work so that 1t may be
done In the best manner and In the
least time is equivalent to a saving
In dollars and cents. Not only, should
the work be properly done and at the
right time. but the time between diff
ferent pieces of work should be as
small ss possible. Here is point
at which great, waste occurs, II 10
like a man forgetting something ut
the store and having to drive back
miles to get 1t. No man can properly
manage a set Of workers without put
ting some thought on It. Thinking
is not so easy az II seems. To think
In logical manner requires effort.

HUMus HOLDS WATER.
A Valuable Element to Have in the
Soil.

Decayed and decaying vegetable
matter in the soil greatly increases
the power of the soil to hold water.
This Is a fact of such large conse-
luence that our agricultural scientists
are paying more and more attention
to 1t. One Of the professors at Cor
nell university undertook to prove
the great value Of humus as a holder
Of water. He took two samples Of
soil from places about 20 feet apart.
Everything about the location sug-
gested that the two samples should
show the same water content. But in
one of the locations three successive
crops of crimson clover had been
turned under. The sample Of soil
from the place where no clover had
been turned under analyzed 8.75 per
cent. moisture; 1.91 per cent. humus
and 10 nitrogen. The sample from
the soil where the crimson clover had
been turned under analyzed Is per
cent. moisture; 2.S4 per cent .humus,
and 81 nitrogen. This was a gain of
6.25 In moisture content; 1.03 humus
content and 90 nitrogen content.
There are very few people that stop
to consider what this means on an
acre of land. Taking the soil to a
depth Of six inches It means that this
6.25 per cent. increased moisture
would equal s3,750 pounds or 46h
tons of waer. This amount Of add.
tional water would mean great deal
In a dry season. The turning under
Of an occasional crop of some green
stun means much, II 1t does nothing
else than hold up the water content OF
the soil. It would take great deal
Of sprinkling from hose to put or
46 tons of water. Many Of the soils
that are now unproductive would
says Farmers Review, be productive
II they had enough water to carry
them over the dry spell Of summer
But by bad farming methods the hu
mus has been exhausted and this has
reduced the capacity OF the soil fol
carrying crops through the dry sea
son. The drops start well In the
spring and seem to bo doing nicely
till the summer dry spell begins
when they at once droop as II some
insect were assailing them. The
trouble really Is that the moisture
supply was 30 light that It was soor
exhausted and the soil could not sup
ply more. This loss Of water holdint
capacity has really been at the bot
tom Of numerous crop failures In diff
ferent localities. The humus supply
of the soil can be kept up by grow
ing deep roofing crops and by fertiliz
ing them so heavily that they will de
velop great masses of roots. Th'
plowing under of crops grown for th'
purpose, Of course adds much humu
to the soil, but most farmers do no
like to lose the use of the land TO
even a season. This may be avoided
by growing some leguminous crop IL
the cornfield late in the season ant
turning under the soil late in the fal
or early in the spring. Rotations o
crops help to keep up the humus sup
ply, IL there Is grass sod to turl
under occasionally.

very bad weather the Daughters OF
the Confederacy did not meet with
them as had been announced.

There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is; put the price up and
make big profit. The other way is;
be fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least
gallons and costs least money a house
job, year, lifetime-no matter
how you reckon your costs, except by
the gallons -Devoe is the best care
taker and costs least money.
Don't forget that the principal part
of the cost of paint is putting it on.
Less gallons, less cost. Don't forget
that another principal part of econo<
my is long wear; less gallons, less
cost and longwear.
1t is great thing to have the ex-
elusive sale of popular goods, of goods
than make friends, of goods that en-
rich both buyer and seller. Devoe
is perhaps only ten per cent better
that one or two others; but ten is a
plenty-it's 200 or 300 better than
many.
