GREATEST FEEDING
VALUE OUT OF HAY
Two Hours of Sun on Dry Day Is
Sufficient to Cure Timothy
When to Cut Crop.

A great many farmers imagine that
hay of all kinds must be dried out
like kindling wood to be fit for stor-
age. OF course, it Is true that hay
as dry as powder will keep in the
NOW or stack in perfect condition, yet
very dry hay is not as good feed as
hay carrying some moisture.
To secure dry hay that will be easy
to cure and light to handle many al
low the grass to stand and ripen too
long before harvesting. This is mis-
take, as hay of all kinds allowed to
ripen fully will be woody and con-
tain q large percentage OF undigest-
IDLE fiber and small percentage OF
succulent digestible matter. All hay
should be cut in a green state and
never be allowed to fully ripen.
Prime hay that carries the greatest
feeding value is cut before the plants
are fully ripe and cured to preserve
the green nature of the feed. This will
give the hay more aroma, it will be
more appetizing to the animals, and 1t
will be more digestible and nourish-
ing. Hay in the barn, bale or stack
should come out after months OF
storage with a strong aroma of green
and be bright green in color. Then
it is choice hay, and will be heavy and
rich.
The best hay is secured when the
crop is cut before it is ripe and cured
with the least possible amount of sun.
Two hours of sun on dry day IS
enough for timothy, and a half day
of sun for clover or alfalfa. The rake
should quickly follow the mower, al
lowing the hay to begin curing in the
windrow, where the least surface Will
be exposed to the sun. After curing
in the windrow for few hours, 1t
should be punched and allowed TO
cure in the bunch for day or two,
according to the kind.
Clover and alfalfa may be allowed
TO cure in the bunch in the Held Tor
about two days, while timothy will re-
uuire but one day. Allowing hay to
cure mostly in the shade gives it bet
ter color, better aroma and high
feeding value.

GREAT MISTAKE TO
SELL A BROOD sow
Keep Her as Long as She Re-
mains Healthy and Vigorous
Keep Pen Free of Dust.

It is a great mistake to sell the
brood SOW just because she is two or
three years old. Keep her as long.
as she remains vigorous.
When the hogs are confined keep
the floors of the pen as free from dust
as possible. Hogs lie with their
noses close to the floor and in this
way inhale more dust than any other
farm animal
An excellent bedding for hogs is
marsh hay or pulp from the sugar
cane mill This gives out very little
dust.
Some farmers seem not to have.
learned the very essential fact that
hogs are natural grazers and should
always have plenty Of grass. A.
field of rye makes the best spring
pasture for the hogs.
Hog-breeding for a pure-bred mar.
ket is ticklish job, and requires a.
great deal of experience. The aver"
age farmer will do well to stick to the
pork grades.
Naturally SOW nursing big litter"
of pigs loses fat rapidly and should

POULTRYMAN MUST
STUDY HIS FLOCK
Just as Much Business Sense Re-
CURED With Poultry as Any
Other Farm Work.

At the high prices of corn and grain
now prevailing, the chicken raiser
must study every point of the game in
order to- make profit. Better reduce
the number of the flock and feed well
those that are left than to try to man.
age a large flock on scant rations.
1t is fact that good fat hen will
lay better than a lean one.
What a mistake it is to feed lot
of cockerels all winter. They should
be sold off and with part Of the money
a new, vigorous well-bred cock bought
for the spring.
There is just as much business
sense required in the management Of
poultry as in any other branch OF
farming, but not many farmers seem
to have discovered this fact.
Sell off all turkey gobblers this fall
and buy new ones for breeding next
spring.

PROPER FENCE FOR
SHEEP is PROBLEM
Most of Our Sheepmen Use Wow
en- Wire From Thirty to For
ty-TWo Inches in Height.

The fencing problem. has always
doomed up big to the beginner in rails
ing sheep. 1t is not, however, a very
diffic one if it is undertaken in an
intelligent manner. It does not re-
quire heavy fence to hold sheep, but
barbed wire will not make satisfactory
sheep fence.
Most sheep raisers use a fence con-
structed of woven wire from thirty to
forty-two inches high with from five
to nine horizontal wires and sixteen
to twenty stays to the rod. Any fence
coming inside these limits If put up
with a post each fourteen to sixteen
feet will prove satisfactory for sheep.
If a thirty-inch woven wire is used,
it should have at least one barbed
wire on top of it. 1t usually pays to
put one or two barbed wires on top
of the woven wires, however, as this
will make fence that will turn horses
and cattle as we'll as sheep.

besides, what's the use of being a

"Ishi's" lectures tell of the mode
of life of his people, of whom he is the
last. He tells of his explorations In
the hills and of his hunting and fish
ing. He never tells of those who went
before him, because he believes that
to call them by name would mean
that they could come back and ask
who called, and his religion won't let
him speak of the dead.
'Ishi" was, and perhaps still is, the
most "uncivilized" man In the world.
Until he was captured by the uni
versity scientists In 1911 none of his
tribe had been seen since 1860. The
little tribe lived near Mill creek, in
the forests, where they stayed in hid
ing, avoiding traders and keeping
away from the railroad track where
engines rumbled by them. They
thought the locomotives some strange
sort Of demon; in fact, '1shi' is just
a little nervous about them yet!
