CARE is NEEDED IN
CURING ALFALFA HAY

For all classes of animals except
horses, alfalfa should be cut for hay
when the new shoots or stems begin
to appear at the crown. These are
easily seen just as they come up
among the old stems at about the be-
ginning of poisoning time, says A.
c. Army, University Farm, st. Paul.
When alfalfa is to be fed to horses, it
may be allowed to grow slightly long
er than when it is fed to cattle, but
it should never be left until the sec
ond crop is injured in cutting the
first crop. a.....
It is a good plan to cut alfalfa in
the evening, before the dew has fall
en-, or in the morning after the dew
is off. If the crop is very heavy, a
tedder can be used to an advantage
in the late forenoon or early after
noon after cutting. With good dry
ing-weather the hay can sometimes
be raked and cooked the same day it
IS cut even though it appears some
what green.
When the hay is partly cured in the
swath, and cooked quite green, the
moisture from the stems keeps the
leaves damp, and both dry out to-
gether Besides saving more Of the
leaves, hay of better color and high
er in nutritive value is secured by this
method. Where alfalfa is cured on a
very large scale, machinery is used
almost entirely, and swath and wind
row curing must be done, but care
should be used to secure the leaves.
Alfalfa can be put in the stack or
the NOV at about the same stage Of
drying as clover, with same results.
If put into the stack or NOW too
green, musty hay will result.

unless it is frequently turned. The
sun quickly dries the thin leaves,
causing them to become brittle and
easily lost. The leaves are the most
valuable part of the hay. The drying
Of the leaves also closes the natural
channel for the moisture to get out of
the stems. After the clover has been
cut, it should be turned with tedder,

IF the swath are thoroughly wilted.
The object should be to keep the hay
loose in the swath or windrow, that
the wind may have free circulation
through it, and to keep it from ex-
nosure to the hot sun, as far as poss-
'ble. Before the leaves and stems be-
come dry and stiff, the hay should be
raked into windrows. If it looks like
rain when the hay is being raked, it
should be put into well-made cocks,
and. if possible, covered with cloth
covers. If the weather appears likely
to continue good, the clover should be
left in the windrow over night and
turned once or twice the following
forenoon. In good weather it should

EAT PRICE SPREAD
rs ACCOUNTED FOR

Il
The facts as to who gets the diff
,~ence between the retail prices so4
Yeats on the one hand and the prices
aid the farmer for live animals on
'ha other are being sifted at last,
varneth F. Warner, Of the Minnesota
College Of Agriculture, in an article
N Marketing Live Stock. !" in a bull
Atin on "Studies in Marketing" BY L.
y. H. Weld and others of the College
If Agriculture, shows pretty conclus-
'velvi Just what the situation is. 1t
has been summarized as follows:
The weight Of the dressed carcass
is only 81 ner cent of the live weight
for cattle; " per cent for hogs: AZ
ner cent for sheen. In case of beef,
the packer sells the whole carcass
for less than he paid for the live an
imal. For example in 1913, the aver
age price Of cattle to the packers at
South st. Paul was $6.25 per hundred.
Thus a 1.000-pound steer cost the
packer $3.50. He sold the carcass
for S58.65 iaverage>. and got S1506
for by products. Thus he received
$73.71 for the animal that cost $62.5O,
a gross margin Of $11.21. Out of
this $11.21 the packer had to pay the
expenses Of his hacking plant, the
freight to local distributing houses,
and the operation of these houses.
The retailer paid S58.65 for the car
cass, and sold the whole for $500 to
consumers, at prices ranging from IL
or II cents to 80 cents pound. an
average Of about 16 cents pound for
the whole carcass. The gross margin
for the retailer was $25.55, or 30.3
per cent Of selling price. Since it
costs retailers from 20 to Is per cent
of sales to do business, it is appar-
ent that the retail butchers are not
making Unfortunately large profits, but
that the costs Of doing business are
very high
The Minnesota farmer gets for his
animal about 81 or So per cent of the
price finally paid for the by products
and the meat together.

PRESERVING EGGS,

Prof. C. r. Brown, of the Crook
ston Experiment Farm, states that
now is the time to preserve eggs for
next winters use. April, May and
June are the best months for packing
eggs, especially in the Northern
States.
There are several good methods of
preserving eggs. However, the
water-glass method is the best. The
water-glass can usually be purchased
at local drug store for from so
cents to 81 a gallon. making the cost
about one cent for each dozen eggs.
The receptacle used should prefer
ably. bean earth jar from five
to ten gallon CAPACITY. The eggs
should be placed in the jar each day,
when gathered, as the fresher the
egg, the better it will keep. Care
should be exercised to see that none
Of the eggs are cracked. or the whole
jar full may be spoiled sin a very
short time.
The jar should be placed in a cool
cellar. A piece Of oiled paper or
some other waterproof cover should
be placed over to prevent evaporation.
If this is not done, any eggs that ap-
pear above the liquid will spoil rapid
". Keep the eggs at least two inches
below the surface Of the liquid.
The solution we recommend, is one
part Of water-gIass, to ten parts of
pure water
