CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
my baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
MILK on which l had fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One or
the doctors told ame that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so got some and prepared it as
follows: / soaked ~ tablespoonfuls
in one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then / strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put in pinch of salt and
a little sugar, warmed 1t and gave it
to baby every two hours.
in this simple, easy way | saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect
as this. l can truthfully say think
1t is the best food in the world to
raise delicate babies on and is also a
delicious healthful food for grown-ups

Skyscraper Cities.

Opposite the postoffice, in lower
Broadway, New York city, there has
Just been completed a building, ESQ
feet high, which will provide working
quarters for 10000 people. If all the
men and women employed in this one
"skyscraper" should attempt to go
uptown by the subway at the end Of
the day it would take the ten-car ex-
press trains, running at the intervals
now established, Is minutes to haul
them away. Though this happens to
be the highest structure in the city,
there are others nearly as large; 1t
is one of the dozens that accommo-
dates 1000 or 5000 people each, and
one of hundreds that accommodate
more than thousand each. The num-
Der of these great buildings is steadily
growing.-World Work.

creases the trouble. If clover hay is
properly cured and put into the NOW
in first-class condition, and the NOW
well ventilated, there is not much
danger of heating.
In order to make a good clover-hay
crop we must thoroughly understand
the nature of the plant. When the
crop is ripening the water is constant
ly passing out of the soil up through
the roots, the stalk, and into the air
through the leaves. Tie plant is be-
ing built up and matured in this way.
When the blossoms begin to turn
brown, that is sign that the connec-
tion between the water and the plant
is being lessened, and this is the time
when the crop should be cut, because
it completely sewers the connection
and reduces the amount Of water in
the plant.
Glover cut at this period has about
rs per cent. of water left in the stalk,
and the problem is how to get rid Of
the most of it without drying out the
plant too much, thereby rendering it
lass palatable and less valuable as a
stock food.
When clover hay is put into the
barn in exactly the right condition
1t has about 25 per cent. Of moisture,
which it has absorbed from the soil
In the west, where the acreage is
generally much larger than in the east
and south, many clover raisers find it
good plan to cut their hay in the
evening, turning it over next day after
the sun is we'll up with the tedder.
The side delivery rake is probably
used more in the west than in other
sections of the country, and this is
found to be a practicable and useful
machine.
The best time to make clover hay
is on a cool, clear day with the wind
blowing, for the wind cures the hay
better than the sun.
A very hot sun, particularly II there
is much humidity in the air, kills the
leaf structure and prevents it from
evaporating the moisture. When hay
is tossed up loose in the windrow, or
in small cocks, the air can pass
through it, and this absorbs the mois-
ture more rapidly than the sun.
Good hay is not dried grass, dis
tinction which many farmers have not
learned When clover hay is put into
the barn it ought to have some mois-
ure in it, not the moisture produced by
rain or dew, but the natural, moisture
which the plant has absorbed from
the soil.
If clover is not cut until all the
heads are brown, it can easily be
cured, but it will not make very good
hay. Again, If the hay is raked up
into cocks when it is perfectly dry
and then becomes soaked, much of its
value is lost

should be made in advance, 80 that
the mower can be started and kept
ahead only few acres at time. One
man can operate the mower and ted
der. The tedder should be started an
hour or so before the hay is to be
taken up, and this is work which re-
quires great care If the crop is to be
saved in the best condition.
If the hay crop is large a loader is
almost Indispensable, because 1t will
do the work much faster than any two
men, and do 1t better. AS it is always
difficult to get help in haying time, 1t
is a good plan for several farmers to
buy and operate loader and other
haying machinery on the cooperative
plan. By little careful figuring and
good judgment group of farmers can,
in this way, help one another to save
their crops, with less labor and less
expense, and with more certainty OF
success than could be attained in any
other way.
Timothy hay may be baled directly
from the swath without much danger
of heating, although it is safer to have
the hay thoroughly cured before be-
ing baled If hay is baled directly
from the swath it must be entirely
free from rain or dew, and this pro-
cess can be employed only under the
best of weather conditions.
Upon the weather depends almost
entirely the safety of the clover crop.
The best time to cut clover is when
it is in full, rich bloom, and before
any brown heads appear in the field.
Many farmers claim that clover should
not be cut at this stage, but the ex.
perience of the writer is that nine
times out Of ten the crop will be saved
in better condition than II allowed to
stand longer.
Start the mowers early in the morn.
ing, because dew will not hurt the
clover, provided the weather is fine;
run the machine until about ten
o'clock, and then stop for the day. If
the weather is bright the tedder
should be started about noon, and the
hay raked in small windows, and these
can be allowed to stand until the hay
is ready to be drawn into the barn.
If the weather is just right the hay
will be ready to be taken from the
field within "a hours, and pue up in
that condition it should retain all OF
its leaves and succulence, and make
excellent hay.
If even a slight rain falls, or If the
hay is allowed to remain in the field
more than day. the small piles
should be turned over The hay must
be perfectly dry when it is put into the
barn; If it is not trouble will quickly
follow.
If the hay begins to heat in the barn
there is not much to be done for it. To

Mixed timothy and clover should be
cut Immediately after the bloom be-
gins to fall. Close watch must be
kept Of the meadow at this period, as
the timothy blooms and sheds its
blossoms in a very short time. When
the bloom is on full, the heads are
full grown and the seed firmly set, so
that they do not shatter easily in han
ding. Cut just at this time, the nu-
triton of the hay is retained and 1t
makes fine selling product.
II the grass is allowed to stand un-
till bit overripe, the seeds will shat
ter in handling, and much of its sub
stance will be lost. The stems, too,
become hard and lose much OF their
succulence SO greatly relished by the
live stock, because the moisture leaves
the stems very quickly after the grass
has reached maturity.
II cut after thoroughly ripe the
most desirable portion of the hay is
lost. Many Of the blades are entirely
lost In handling, and what remains
on the stems is tasteless and unpala-
table to stock.
Whenever you observe much hay
left in the hangers be sure 1t has been
rejected by the stock because it is
unfit for their needs. Sometimes
stock will eat this woody, dry hay out
of necessity, but it does them no good.
On the other hand, the early mown,.
mixed hay possesses all of those ele-
ments so necessary to the building up
of animal tissue, and live stock will
eat it up clean. The farmer who finds
it difficult to obtain enough waste hay
to supply bedding for his animals may
be sure that he is getting about all
the benefit there is to be had from his
hay crop.
While it is not wise to cut too
early, still it is better to err on the
side of early than Of late cutting. The
amount of good hay secured by early
cutting is usually greater than that
when cut after the crop has thorough
ly matured.
One thing in favor of early cutting
is the fact that the drain upon the
soil is stopped. The ripening process
of the hay crop exhausts the soil very
rapidly, and it is important that the
elements necessary to produce good
hay should be kept in the soil as long
as possible. Renewing and maintain
ing soil for hay is another story.
BY moving meadows early in the
season the grass will spring up and
form early and succulent fall graz
ing at period when there is usually
shortage in pasture, and when the
live stock need 1t most.
OF course, it can be dried out and
present the appearance Of pretty good
hay, but all the same 1t is safe to count
that about half of its value has been
destroyed by the rain.
The use of canvas caps is therefore
to be recommended.
