Quires great care II the crop is to be
saved in the best condition
II the hay crop is large a loader is
almost indispensable, because II 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. It
is good plan for several farmers to
buy and operate a loader and other
having machinery on the cooperative
plan. BY little careful figuring and
good Judgment a 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 1t is safer to have
the hay thoroughly cured before be-
ing baled. II 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
II 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 II
the weather is bright the tedder
should be started about noon. and the
hay raked in small windrows. and these
can be allowed to stand until the hay
is ready to be drawn into the barn.
II the weather is just right the hay

: HHHLoADERS m OPERATION
- sane TIr1E 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 it
makes a fine selling product
If the grass is allowed to stand IN
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 managers be sure it 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
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 a period when there is usually
shortage in pasture, and when the
live stock need it most.
or 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.

NEW YORK CONNECTICUT
 BOUNDARY MADE DEFINITE
Has Varied Much in 25o Years and Been Cause of Conflict, Particularly in Salisbury Town.

Governor Sulzer of New York state has signed the Levy bill establishing a definite boundary line between Con necticut and New York. There is bill before the Connecticut legislature at the present time, introduced on recommendation. of Governor Bald win, of the same purport, which is to legaIize the boundary lines run and establish by the geological survey within the past five years.
 Since the esta bIishment of tho American colonies the boundary line between Connecticut and New York has been more vague than an imag- mary line; it has been an unknown quantity, one period of years locating 1t in certain, spots and another nov ing it just a little to the east or west. Folks who live near the border say 1t changed with every survey.
 Caused Bloody Conflicts.
 Certain is is that it has moved about some since the days of Living ston Manor. that immense grant of land in Duchess and Columbia coun- ton. Livingston Manor was created by preliminary act of Governor Thomas Dongan of New York in 1885 and another act signed by him in of Scotch blood. patent which was confirmed by royal authority from George l.. the English king. in 1715. It contained a tract of 162,08O acres ana 0xt6nQ6Qa east rom ITle f5uOSOn river, It's northerly boundary line be- ing the towns of Claverack and Hills dale, and the southern boundary about in the vicinity of Amenia.
 Where its eastern boundary was is hard to say. and that troublous question gave rise to several bloody conflicts in the town of Salisbury a century and a half ago, the York state folks along the border claiming that Livingston Manor extended to the Canaan falls in the Housatonic river at one point, and certainly well into the town of Salisbury
 Descriptions of these eastern boundaries of the manor were pretty vague. The lines ran to heaps of stones and trees blazed with the letter ''L'' the corners of woodland patches; and even early maps of the manor took in the Taghkannic noun tains and then had one narrow pro- jection which must have come a con- siderable distance into the state Of Connecticut.
 In Later Years.
 In later years. when the Salisbury people had convinced the York state folks that Salisbury was in Connecti- cut the boundary line was anything but satisfactorily definite. and even the data. given to the last geological survey to find the old boundary and establish a new one as close to it as possible. described the lines as run ming to heaps of charcoal, fence corners a broken white birch tree and other points which of course have disappeared in the course of time.
