Their Use on Alfalfa and on Clover.
Put Green Into Cocks.

Put Green Into Cocks.
The cloth in the cap is made from CA
sheeting torn into pieces forty inches
square, and to each corner larger
washer weighing about one-fourth OF a
pound is tied, says Hoard's Dairyman,
which shows one of these caps in the
accompanying cut and comments as
follows upon the use of hay caps:
Put Up Into Cocks.
The hay is put up into cocks about
seventy-five pounds each and then Gov
cred with the hay caps. The weights
uhst are attached to the corners of the
cap tend to keep the cloth tight over
the hay, for as the hay settles the
weights drop closer to the ground.
To shed the water well the cloth
must be kept smooth and free from
wrinkles, and to accomplish this the
weights, when the caps are put over
the cocks, should be several inches
from the ground. This method gives
ihe weights an opportunity to pull
down constantly on the four corners of
the cap.
To Shed the Water Well.
Some have recommended pegs be at

hook them into the hay to hold the cap
over the cock This system would be
all right If the cock Of hay did not set

SHAPE SET BY GOVERNMENT.
Women Employees Of Uncle Sam Must
Conform Thereto.

There Is considerable breezy com
OF Uncle Sans two print shops-the
government printing office and the
bureau of engraving and printing
over what is termed by some of the
fair workers the government shape"
1t is said this shape was created by
the civil service commission for the
m EMPLOY. of the bureau where
the paper money and stamps are
printed. and hat it is now the proper
thing for women in that branch to re-
fer to their figures as the govern
ment shape
According TO regulations of the
civil service commission the measure
ments call for women who are tall,
slender and sinuous:" height. five
feet eight inches; weight. l54 pounds;
bust, So inches: waist, IS inches;
hips, 43 inches. and back, 15k inches.
A case of the rejection OF a young
woma from Michigan is cited be-
cause she was not tall enough for
her width to meet the requirements,
although her percentage in other di-
:ec1ions was said to have been high.
IL IS explained that it is necessary
for a woman to be tall in order that
she may reach the notes while on the
press. A woman of short stature
could not reach the notes, while one
of unusual girth would not have room
to stOOp between the presses in the
process Of printing.
