i.i.lE 10 yUI ALFALFi-
One of Controlling Factors in
Taking Care of Hay.
Start Mower In Morning az Soon as
Dew ls Off and Prospects
Seem Good for Three Days
of Good Weather.

The best time to cut alfalfa is when
about one-tenth of the blooms are out,
or il an examination is made at the
base of the stalk new shoots are
seen making their appearance. Many
times it is even practical to cut the
first crop a few days earlier, especial
ly If a large acreage is to be har-
vested. Time is one of the controll-
ing factors in taking care Of the hay,
so it is necessary for the grower to
exercise judicious planning to utilize
his time to the best advantage.
1t is good plan to start the
mower as soon as the dew Is on In
the morning and the prospects seem
good for two or three days of con-
tinued good weather. This hay
should be tedded in the swath in the
afternoon, so that it will dry out un-
derneath. The side delivery rake is
good, In fact, the ideal machine to
turn the hay. Beginning on the out
side of the field, the hay is carried
further out, leaving an open space
which will be heated by the sun be-
fore the next round Is made. On
turning the next swath the dry, hot
stubble and soil will quickly draw
the moisture from 1t, therefore the
hay is curing from below as well as
from above. The following morning
the same rake 10 used as soon as the
hay Is sufficiently dry, and two
swaths put in one. and in the after
noon 1t is ready to be stacked or
hauled into the NOW.
The following method is practiced,
and lends itself admirably to taking
care Of q hay crop IL it Is not too
heavy: The mower would be run late
in the afternoon, when not much wilt
ing will take place and when the
underground Is perfectly dry. The
advantage Of this over the early morn
ms Is that the soil is warm and dry,
and that less surface is exposed to
become wet by dew than when alfalfa
is standing. The hay Is turned in the
following morning just before noon,
and will be ready to rake and stack
in the middle Of the afternoon. An
other plan Is to rake in the afternoon
and put it up in small cocks, turning
these over the following day, replac-
ing these two into one. and letting
them cure for a few days before
stacking. 1t is of the greatest i'm
portance that the hay be absolutely
dry from dew before putting 1t into
the barn or stack. Alfalfa is more
difficult to cure properly than the
grasses. because the leaves fall of 80
readily, and when We consider that
these make up AZ per cent Of the crop
By weight, their true value u very
significant
