the mowers are running on other
parts. That afternoon put this hay
into cocks as narroWs and tall as will

can take a handful Of the hay and
twist it and can wiring no sap to the
twist, haul the hay 70 the barn and
let it settle with its own weight
without tramping, and then let it
alone and it will cure all right. If
it heats some, letit heat. II you go
to stirring it to cool it, you will let

will have moldy hay,
Now, / have cured it il this way
many years and never made any

usual assortment Of sticks that many
