HAYING TIME
Eight Tons an Acre.
JOHN ASHLEY.

II is said the average crop OF hay per
acre is one tor for the first moving
and If the weather is favorable a half
a ton for the second. The selling price
for this amounts to about S27, the cost
of producing and harvesting IT.
In contrast to this. there is the case
OF a man who had "A small village farm.
devoted to n garden. a bit OF lawn, an
acre of grass land and an acre reserv-
cd for crops for his horse and COW.
From the grass land lie averaged be-
tween eight and ten tons of hay. and
as his methods OF seeding and care
were very simple and cnsy to initiate
It may be of interest to know some
thing Of them in detail When the
property was first purchased the new
owner started I'm to improve II. going
oyer the grass land with a double ac-
tion cutaway harrow twice the first
week in half laps and the second time
at right angles to the first lie contin-
ued to do this until August, when the
foul roots remaining were raked out
land burned. An eight foot smoothing
harrow with a levclng board attached
was next used until the surface was
true The land was then plowed with
a twenty-four inch cutaway plow TO a
depth of six inches. the disk being set
at considerable angle Then the sur
face was again trued as before Final
ly the field was narrowed weekly until
the LIST Of September.
Final Preparation.
The land being level, it was left bare
until spring and then was narrowed
again and sowed TO oats TO be cut for
hay. When this had been harvested the
field was gone over twice in half laps
with double action harrow. the second
time at right angles 20 the drst The
second week it was plowed and har-
rOwed and after that narrowed weekly
for four weeks, followed by one more
plowings on Sept. / fourteen quarts
each Of timothy and recleaned redtop
were sown. and before narrowing in
the seed COO pounds OF the following
mixture Of commercial fertilizer were
carefully and evenly broadcasted: Nj.
trate of soda. 60 pounds; muriate of
potash. 2I0 pounds; bonemeal, 300
pounds. The piece was then narrowed
in four directions with a smoothing
harrow The following April the land
was rolled and $50 pounds OF the fol
lowing fertilizer spread: Bone, 100
pounds, potash. $50 pounds; nitrate Of
soda. 15Opounds. The result Of this thor
Ough preparation ana care is evidenced
in the splendid appearance of the grass
although It has been seeded six years
Soon after the first crop had been cut
200 pounds OF the spring fertilizer were
broadcasted. and these two applications
OF fertilizer are given annually

HELPING OUT PASTURES BY
S0IllNG CROPS
JARep Van wAeeNEN. JR.

Thoughtful dairynen realize that,
while in northern states cows are in
the field five months. yet there are
only about six weeks or two months
when pasture alone is sufficient TO en-
able them 10 do good work. so pro
gressive dairymen are adopting some
plan of supplementing pastures and
thus maintaining a better fow OF milk
throughout the year. There are vari-
ous ways OF doing this. Merely feed
ing grain In connection with scanty
pasture is expensive and unsatisfac.
tory The cost Is too great. Besides.
what is needed is some form of fresh.
succuent food rather than dry grain.
IL is possible to plan a succession OF
soiling crops which maintain con
stant supply of green food throughout
the summer. He may plan rye sOwn
in the fall 20 furnish green rye In
early spring. This may he followed
ten days later by green wheat. which
may be followed 10y alfalfa. which can

Summer Silage Best.
Now. the foregoing is very fine
theory OF COW feeding. but II doesn't
work in practice Some crops may be
partial failures and some may be used
before the next is ready: also. soiing
COWS means cutting and drawing
green food every day regardless Of
weather conditions or what other
work presses. All these considera.
lions nave led the writer To feel that
there is Just one best way 10 supple
ment pastures. and that is by feeding
when needed corn silage put in the
previous autumn
There are several reasons why this
is the best way. One is that the pos.
Eible food production from an acre Of
corn is much greater than from these
other crops. Another is, It is possible
TO put this corn in the silo just when
It is at its hest, whereas other crops
will frequently be either too green or
too ripe just when we need them
