Going at the Alfalfa Crop.

Hay making with alfalfa as the crop
and several cuttings to be secured in
season is vastly different PROPOSE
tion in this country than in the east.
There they NOW down a few acres,
let 1t cure and then haul it into the
barn before cutting any more for fear
the whole thing will get wet and spoil
Consequently they make hay slowly
and consume a great deal of time in
securing little hay. Here with large
areas of heavy alfalfa it is necessary
to go at it more efficiently. With the
danger of rain practically eliminated
our farmers start in with as many
NOV down the whole works The cut
ting of alfalfa should begin as soon as
the first blossoms appear. The plant
then contains the most protein and
the stems are not so woody. conse-
quently there will be less waste in
feeding than if allowed to grow lon
ger.
Another way to tell when to cut is
to watch for the new shoots at the
crown. As they appear cutting should
begin regardless of the bloom. for if
allowed to remain too long these new
shoots will be cut off and the new
crop retarded. Likewise if cut before
these shoots start the next crop will
be delayed The starting of the shoots
and the beginning of the bloom are
about simultaneous. When a rancher
has no more than twenty-five to thir.
ty acres it is quite convenient for two
or three neighbors to go together and
exchange work in making hay. These
are several good reasons for so doing.
1t requires a good bit of help to handle
hay crop right. and for the man
with but twenty-five acres or so il
scarcely pays to pick up men just for
too. usually about impossible for so
short job at this particular time.
When hired men are so Indifferent
rancher takes chance every time he
engages one.
BY exchanging work the problem is
solved-no chance in getting men. no
cash outlay, no trouble for board as
each farmer boards himself We have
found 1t quite satisfactory to exchange
work. One man starts in and cuts his
hay and shocks It. While it is curing
another does the same, Then the
first is stacked and so on. We follow
the mowers within few hours with
the rakes. The alfalfa must not be
allowed to dry out In the swath or
windrow. For II it does the leaves fall
off and the very best part of the hay
is lost Rake it and shock It green
and In from five to seven days II will
be air cured first class and can be
handled with minimum loss of
leaves. have seen alfalfa that was
cured in the swath after the manner
of curing hay back east with the re-
suit that by the time II was stacked
II consisted of nothing but stems. a
perfectly valueless stuff. and the
leaves were scattered all about the

field and lost.

htCiu anu toSt.
The best way to stack alfalfa is with
slips and slings and a Mormon der
rick. With three slips and a spike
pitcher in the field, good man on the
stack and a boy to drive the stacker
team the process of putting up hay is
a cinch and the way the field is clear
ed off and the hay slowed away is a
caution. The slips are sledlike affairs
close to the ground. On them is laid
a rope sling. The pitchers slide the
shocks onto the slips until load is
secured. There is no high bucking of
hay as on a wagon and rack. Driv-
ing to the stack the stacker pulleys
are hooked into the sling rope and
away up she goes in hurry. The
stacker moves the crane of the der
rick around where he wants it, dumps
the load. the driver gathers up his
sling and is back in the. field in a
hurry.
Slings and a stacker expedite the
work and make it easier all around.
Let the horses do the work. Then the
hay is put up in larger stacks than
can be done by hand, thus exposing
less of it to the elements. With the
slings there is less loss of leaves and
a better class of hay is secured. In ex-
changing work to run a stacking out
fit it is easy to get a crew together
whereas if an individual with a small
acreage should attempt to do it him
self it would cost him a good bit for
with three slips he needs four teams
and about six men. Several kinds of
stackers are used in Montrose
county. but the so called Mormon
beats them all to pieces. OF course a
rancher can get hired man and work
single handed with a wagon and put
his hay after a fashion, but the prob
lem is to get the hay off the field as
speedily as possible so that the water
can be turned on and the growth of
the new crop hastened.-W. F. Wilcox
