Heretofore, much of the hay of
this country was lost through allow
ing it to stand in stacks in the field.
The hay barn is now a necessity on
every good farm where the most is
made Of everything. Where hay is
still stacked, canvas covers help u
great deal, but the only way to prop
erly care for clover hay is to put it
into we'll ventilated barn.
The value of the hay crop depends
largely upon the man who makes it.
He must have exact knowledge Of
the time to cut it, just how it must be
cured in all kinds of weather, and
how to store it. He must thoroughly
understand the use of all haying ma
chinery, and know how to make the
most of every hour of the haying sea-
son with his human help as we'll.
The proper use of machinery is the
most important thing. Too many
farmers in their haste to get the crop
off the ground crowd their moving
machines beyond their capacity,
which always results in considerable
loss. Nothing is more indicative of q
poor farmer than the sight of hay
field in which little rows of grass,
varying from two to six inches are
left standing, the result of trying to
make seven-foot cycle bar cut q
seven-foot six-inch swath.
Tho machine should be set and so
driven as to cut every spear of grass
slick and clean, and lay 1t down even
ly. Then, when the raking comes on,
there is another source of loss in the
careless way in which the ground is
covered, or rather not covered. Lit
tie lunches of hay left here and there
count largely in the aggregate, and
mean large money loss.

PLANT SOME FRUIT
TREES EVERY YEAR
No Better Way Of Utilizing Spare
Time in Fall After Crops
Have Been Harvested.
{By MEADE FERGusoN.)

10y 00EADC rEfSGIOSONsy
In the economy of man and of ma
ture trees are Of great value not only
through the products which they yield
as food, and materials for industrial
purposes. but through the influence
which they exercise upon climate, sell
and the healthiness and beauty of a
community. The village home to be
beautiful and complete must have
shade trees and, if space permits, fruit
trees. The farm from an economic
standpoint must have trees for shade
and protection from the winds and to
produce wood for the various uses,
such as building, manufacturing tools,
burning, etc. Whenever soil cannot
by any ordinary process be rendered
fit for corn or grass and will bear
trees it may be planted as the only,
perhaps the best. mode of turning it
to profit. There are some tracts of
thin, stony or gravelly soils covered
with no growth Of any value which
will pay for no improvement whatever
except starting tree growth.
In the fall and early winter, after
the crops are harvested and the fall
seeding is finished, one could utilize
some spare time to no better advantage
than planting trees. There is always
room and suitable place for them.
Landlords could easily effect an agree.
ment between themselves and their
tenants under which the tenants
would be required to plant and care
for trees upon suitable areas each
year.
In driving through the country and
particularly in and around small towns
one observes with regret neglected
shade and ornamental trees, Of which
there are so many beautiful specimens.
Perhaps short list may encourage a
trial. For Towering trees there are the
double Towering crab, English haw-
thorn, pink horse chestnut and catalpa.
For striking characteristics there are
the camperdown elm, weeping beech,
variegated elder, Rivers purple beech
and the linden.
Nothing adds more to the welfare Of
family than fruit. besides which
there is pride and Joy in producing 1t
at home. Think Of the big red apples
and the long winter evenings of your
childhood. Then 60 out and put the
old orchard in shape, plant new trees
to take the place Of the old and be
happier. II you have only town lot
and not space for the standard sorta

occupy little room and will bear In two
or three years. Anyway, plant trees
every season. for they will grow while

Haymaking is an art which a great
many farmers have not yet learned.
The modern method of making hay
is far different from that Of the old
days when the grass was cut with
scythes, turned with pitchforks--if
time permitted-and slowed away in
dark, musty barns, or stacked in the
open field to keep or spoil as might be.
In modern haymaking, time is es-
sential. II the crop should be cut a
day too soon it will easily spoil. II
day too late its quality may be i'm
paired by its dry, woody growth. If
it is allowed to lie on the ground "a
hours too long before being tossed and
cured, its quality may be reduced one
half.
Modern haying machinery makes
hayraaking easier, but even with all
the appliances that ingenious manu-
facturers have given us, the proper
ton of farmers who make a sure
thing of their hay crop every year
is all too small.
There always has been a great deal
of trouble in curing the clover hay
crop. Much of its value is lost be-
cause Of the lack of help necessary to
properly cure it and take care of it
after it has been cured. The hay
tedder has helped greatly, and this
kicking machine is now seen on every
good farm where the best modern
methods are employed.
The side rake is another fine ma
chine which helps us in saving the
crop, and If clover is cut at exactly
the right time the use Of these two
machines will enable any farmer to
save all there is of his crop, with at
least 80 per cent of its feeding value.
