ally be reasonably sure of the wealth
er several hours in advance and choose
a time for cutting when the hay can
at least be cured sufficiently to put it
in the cock before 1t is wet by rain or
dew.
When the weather is favorable for
curing, it Is best to NOW in the morn
ing, from the time the dew is off until
noon, and then windr0w and cock in
the afternoon. The hay should remain
In the cock until thoroughly field
cured. The time required for this field
curing will depend on the condition
Of the weather. If very favorable 1t
may be safe to haul 1t to the barn
after 1t has been in the cocks SO to 4S
hours, but a longer time is often neces-
gary.
Field curing may be regarded as
completed when the stems are so dry
chat they will break when a small
wisp of hay Is twisted tightly, when 1t
does not feel cool If pressed to the
cheek, and when stirring 1t slightly
produces a slight rustic.
When conditions are unfavorable
for drying, as in rainy, cool or cloudy
weather, the field curing requires a
much longer time and is often unsat-
isfactory.
With all the judgment which the
grower may use, some hay will occa-
sionally be caught by rain, and it then
requires special care to cure it thor
oughly. II 1t rains. on the hay soon
after it is cut little harm will be done,
but the injury will be greater If the
rain comes after 1t Is partially dry. If
the dry or even partly dry hay be wet
with rain, 1t should not be touched I'M
til the surface has become thoroughly
dry. If 1t is still In the swath 1t will

made in various styles. but the one
most generally liked is piece OF
heavy cotton cloth four to five feet
square, with pin of heavy wire foot
In length fastened to each corner.
When the cap is put in place and the
pins are pushed into the cock to pre-
vent 1t from being blown off, the hay
will stand heavy rain with very little
injury. The hay should not be put into
the barn or the stack until it Is so dry
that there will be no danger from
heating and molding. and when the
weather is not very warm and dry it
is not safe to bale 1t until at least a

A Soda Water Well.

Many queer things have been discov-
cred by the drill since and before Colo
mel Drake discovered that oil could be
obtained by the artesian process, but
the most unique one is that recently
struck in the Philippines. 1t Is located
in the town of San Fernando, on the
Island of Ticao. At the depth of 4O5
feet an enormous vein of water was
struck, with such gas pressure that
the volume was thrown so feet In the
air. 1t was only by exerting every pos
sible effort that a small flood was
averted. The flow was finally checked,
however, and the water directed out
and downward through two small
pipes, through which 1t continues to
rush with undiminished force.
Samples of the water taken show that
1t is heavily charged with carbonic
acid gas and appears and tastes like
ordinary soda water.
