You will notice the change in
latitude on Jan. 9th, after crossing
the equator; also the change in the

Jan. 10th. which indicates that we

HOW COCA COLA REFREsHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale Of Coca Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed 1t to good advertis-
ing;" others to efficient management"
others, to its delicious flavor" and still
others to the fact that 1t was the first in
the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion Of .
manufacturing chemist who has analyx-
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity of the drink
in large part to its quality of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola is practically
identical with that of coffee and tea
with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of tannio
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments OF DR.. Holling-
worth of Columbia University and Of
DR.. H. G. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing beverages Coffee, tea,
Coca-C Cola. etc. relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group Of beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use of
the latter is followed by period of de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
ton, thus resulting in the formation Of
q "habit."-Adv.

ALMOST indispensable, because 1t will

is a good plan for several farmers to
buy and operate loader and other
haying machinery on the cooperative

their crops, with less labor and less

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

ly passing out Of the soil up through
the roots, the stalk, and into the aly
through the leaves. The plant Is be-
ing built up and matured in this way.
When the blossoms begin to turn
brown, that is sign that the connec-
ton between the water and the plant
is being lessened, and this is the time
when the crop should be cut, because
1t 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 1t without drying out the
plant too much, thereby rendering u
lass paiatable 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 1t 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 II
a good plan to cut their hay in the
evening, turning 1t 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 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 If there
is much humidity In the air. kills the
leaf structure and prevents 1t from
evaporating the moisture. When hay
is tossed up loose in the windrow. ol
In small cocks, the air can pasi
through 1t, and this absorbs the mois
ture more rapidly than the sun.
Good hay is not dried grass. dis
tinction which many farmers have no
learned. When clover hay Is put intt
the barn It ought to have some mois
ure in 1t, not the moisture produced b,
rain or dew. but the natural moisture
which the plant has absorbed from
the soil.
II clover is not cut until all thu
heads are brown. It can easily b.
cured, but It will not make very goot

HAHLoADER5 IN OPERATION
SAVE TIrE AND bACKAChE

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 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.
If 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.
If 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.
left in the managers be sure 1t has been
rejected by the stock because 1t is
unfit for their needs. Sometimes
stock will eat this woody, dry hay out
Of necessity. but 1t does them no good
On the other hand, the early mown.
mixed hay possesses all Of those ele-
ments 30 necessary to the building up
of animal tissue. and live stock will
eat 1t up clean. The farmer who finds
1t 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 1t is not wise to cut too
early. still 1t 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 sdcculent fall graz

or course, 1t can be dried out and

hay, but all the same It 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.
