SCIENCE OF CURING HAY.
Do Not Expose Hay TO the Hot Sun,
a. Bleaching Decreases Quality.

by Es " nObas
Natiohai Crop Improvement scrvieel
Notwithstanding the rapid progress
that has been made in all lines, the
farmer is yet 10 awaken TO a full real
ixation Of the Importance Of his hay
crop ] should think that $40 Q ton
ought to be enough Iinducement to sit
up and take notlse. The greatest
enemy Of hay today and the one fea-
ture that IS retarding its growth is
the unwillingness Of the farmer TO
give 1t the close consideration II de-
serves. or his lack OF knowledge on
this particular branch Of farming.
There is no crop the farmer can raise
that brings him In Is quick returns so
easily as well cured hay or alfalfa
neatly baled. There are as yet . great
many farmers who have the lesson Of
hay growing 10 learn.
DO Not Expose.
The first aim In the curing Of hay
Is to expose It AZ little al possible to
the sun, for palatability decreases with
the increase of bleaching. It should
be protected as much as possible from
the dampness which takes frcIs It
aroma and certain other properties.
The air and the wind are the agents
that win properly cure hay, retaining
the natural color and sweetness. II
1t Is owe sun cured, It will not only
lose its nalatabIlity and many OF It's
leaves, but it loses more than a due
amount Of weight. On the other hand,
If exposed to excessive rains alfalfa
soon becomes practically useless for
food. Give the hay air and wind to
cure 1t properly. preserving the green
color, the weight paIstability, aroma
and nutrition to the highest degree.
Cure In swath.
How many times we have seen on
the market a shipment Of hay that is
dry and lifeless; that has been
bIeached out until 1t is little more
than wood, with aroma missing and
the nutrition lacking, making 1t q
most u~npalatable food. The best re-
suits can be obtained by curing hay
in the g~wath-just as it falls from the
mower. This form Of curing has many
strong and striking advantages. 1t is
not only labor saving. but It enables
the hay maker to do II much more
quickly and this In turn lessons the
hazards from losses Of exposure to
rain and from the over-maturing part
Of the crop,
Cost Of Curing.
The cost Of curing IN the swath Is
very much less than any other form
and at the same time bears all the
points Of advantage If properly fol-
, lowed ont. The length Of exposure
depends on the kind OF crop, its ma
turity and the weather. Many farm
ers permit their hay to lie on the
ground two or three days until II has
been thoroughly cured and then It is
either placed In stacks or taken direct
to the barn. When intended for inn
mediate sale this handling is unneces-
and adds to the expense as well
as lessons the value OF the hay.

Of the colored brethren, I note that

AlAsoER YIELD or BETTER HAY,
Price Of Hay Al Out Of Proportlon-
Farmers Must Raise Moro Hay Of
a Better Quality 10 Meet De-
mand-Farmers should Sign
Hay Agreement.


BY Bert bali.
National Crop Improvement EcTvics.2
Since hay 10 one Of the most I'M
portant farm crops, 1t is very impor
tant that every farmer should DC
vitality interested IN producing q larger
yield Of better quality. Hay 10 one OF
the principal money cropB Of tbs
United States. Hay and iegumes are
Invaluable as rotation crops. Any man
interested in obtaining the best 70
suits in growing hay should circulate
the following agreement and get at
least a hundred aigners in bis locality:
Whereas, the United States does
not produce as Q whole, onehalt -
much hay As It should. and
Whereas. owing to this fact the price
Of hay Is al out Of proportion as com
pared with other farm crops. now
Therefore, in order to produce more
and better hay. we the undersigned
agree as follows:
We, the undersigned, of..... County,
49,, hereby agree TO cooperate with
the uEflCGltuIAA IMPAIRMENT VI wi
state college, and with each other, In
growing and disseminating pure seed.
To attend a caiieS meeting Of all
the signers hereto, n to agree one
with the othsT ~ sow the number Of
acres set opposite TO our names for
the season Of 1gi2-1s. OF the kind, type
and variety Of hay best adapted to h
soil and climate OF this county.
To keep this type pure and when
harvested TO demand a graduated
price according to the quality hen
delivered.
That we will do everything In u
power to induce every farmer to raise
the best types SO that eventually all
the hay shipped from this station viii
be uniform and free from mixture Of
weeds.

BARLEY 4 N r 0

Wauonai Crop Improvement Ecrvice.l
Barley serves as q ready money
crop for most growers and is usually
put on the market soon after thresh.
ing. 1t is not good practice TO put
weathersbeaten or damaged barley on
the market as the price will be cut
severely even though the feeding

far better to 5 such injured barley
on the farm and secure both feeding
and fertilizing value from II.
Do Not Mix Barley.
Different varieties should not be
mixed when being put on the market
either as seed or mailing barley.
Farmers should grow but one variety
Of barley and that of the yery best.
Different varieties of barley when
placed on the mailing floor for sprout.

hOOkwOrm In Kentucky,

The prevalence of the hook.
worm in Kentucky has aroused
great interest and the new dis.
ease is being vigorously searched
for. Wherever, found the dis.
ease is easily cured.
So far over 1000 cases have
been investigated at random in
Eastern Kentucky, and about 36
per cent of these Investigations
have revealed the presence of
hOOkworms. About 100 cases
have been treated thus far. The
parasite is not peculiar to any
section, nor does it affect any
particular class, cases being
found in the homes of rich as we'll
as poor, and the ages of patients
ranging from eight months to
eighty years.
For the investigation and Grad
ication of this disease three phv.
sicians will work in Kentucky
for number of years, the funds
for the work being provided by
the Rockefeller endowment.

Importance Of Good seed.

Modern science IN Agriculture
teaches us that half the heavy
yielding cultivated crops are now
brought about through the use of
the very best seed both in kind
and quality. In view of this
fact. MIR. }. W. Mize, .one of
Powell cobnty's modern and up.
tO.date farmers has for years
been trying to get the best su.
gar cane adapted to the condi.
tiOn of this county and has at
last succeeded in doing so. He
tells US that he is now growing a
cane that will not only make
nearly, if not double the quaint.
ty of mOlasses from the same
ground, but that the quality of
the mOlasses it makes is also far
superior to any other kind of cane
he has ever before used. Mr..
Mize has "a limited quantity of
seed saved from this extraOrdin
ary cane ana is going to sell it to
his fellow farmers of this county
ut the special low price of only
81 90 per gallon.

those Republicans who were
