MOVING NATAL GRASS
Harvesting Should Begin as Soon
as Seeds Begin to Ripen.
Unnecessary Length Of Exposure
7leaches Hay and Makes II Less
PaIatable and Nutritious
Eest Time for Cutting.
(By s. M. TRACY

The moving of natal grass should
begin as soon as considerable part
of the seed begins to ripen. II the
weather should be unfavorable at that
time It can stand several days with
out great injury. as 1t Is making a
continuous growth of new shoots.
When the cutting is delayed too long
the quality of the hay is injured by
the shattering of the seeds and by the
drying-up and breaking-off of the
older stems. The greatest loss from
delaying the cuttings too long is the
consequent postponement of the sub
sequent cuttings. To secure the great
est yield during the year and to make
hay of the highest quality, all of the
earlier cuttings should be made as
soon as the grass is in proper condi-
ton, though the last cutting may be
delayed until a few days before frost
is expected, as the grass is growing
rapidly at that time and the late cut
ting insures good supply of seed on
the ground for the following spring.
The grass dries so quickly that 1t
should be allowed to lie on the ground
only short time. Unnecessarily long
exposure beaches the hay and makes
1t less palatable. less nutritious. and
less salable. The best hay is that
which is cured in the shortest time
and with the least exposure to the
weather. Exposure to rain bleaches
and Injuries the hay seriously, and
even exposure to heavy dew deadens
the color and makes the hay less at

pounds per ton. or a slight sprlnkling
of freshly. slaked lime will aid In its
preservation.
The field curing should be as thor
ough as the weather will permit, after
which the hay should be hauled to the
barn and the final curing completed
there.
At present large part of the natal
grass hay is put in stacks when hauled
from the field. In many cases this
cannot be avoided. but 1t is much safer
to store 1t in barn or under a shed.
When stacked. there Is always consid-
cradle loss from teaching and bleach
ing on the outside of the stack. loss
which, may be almost wholly prevent
ed when the hay is protected from the
weather The sweating and final cur
Ing are much more even when COM
pleted in NOW. and so a better quail
ity OF hay is secured than Is possible
from an exposed stack.
The hay should remain in the NOW
until 1t goes through sweat, as this
develops q sweeter aroma In the hay
and makes IL safe from heating and
molding in the bale The degree of
heat developed In this sweating will
depend very largely ON the amount of
moisture In the hay. If the hay is put
In the NOW before it is well air-cured.
the heat may be excessive and the hay
discolored. If it is only moderately
Drowned its actual value is injured
very little, though the hay is less read
lily salable.
While 1t may appear dry and well
cured there is almost sure t. be mois-
ure left in some of the stems, espe-
cially in the Joints. This moisture is
often sufficient to cause heating in the
bale, and when the hay reaches the
market 1t will be found so damaged as
to be classed as of very low grade.

YANKS FURNISH ClCOTTE

Boone was playing third for New

A party of actors in box not far

SAFETY FIRST" FOR SWINE
Watchword With Many Farmers Whe
Are Taking Precautions Against
Losses From Hog Cholera.

(By DIR. E. NJ. RANcK, Mississippi Ex-
pertinent Station)
SAFETY first for the pork chop" is
the watchword with the many farm
ers who are now taking precautions
against losses from hog cholera. The
only reliable treatment and preventive
for this disease is the antibog cholera
serum discovered by government off
Gals and known az the Dorset-Niles
serum.
The many ways In which cholera
may be carried from one herd to an
other makes 1t imperative that hogs
In infected territory be vaccinated as
early as possible after the disease is
discovered. If competent graduate
veterinarian is to be had, the serum
simultaneous method may be used, by
which the hog is immunized for life.
In the interval after the disease is
discovered and before the serum may
be obtained, a knowledge of the means
by which 1t is transmitted may help
In some measure to prevent it's spread.
Buzzards are the principal carriers,
but pigeons and other birds eating aft
er the sick hogs, men walking through
infected pastures, dogs digging up
buried carcasses. creeks running
through pastures containing diseased
hogs insects, dust, and many other
means furnish transportation. The
following suggestions may help in con-
trolling the disease:
Write to your veterinarian Burn or
bury all hogs dying Of cholera so deep
that dogs cannot dig them up. Keep
hogs away from running streams that
are likely to carry infection. Keep
people who have been infected out Of
hog pastures. XIII the buzzards.

Cheese because of its high nutritive
value and being In such concentrated
form If eaten hastily and In any
amount, causes indigestion. The rea-
son we serve hard crackers with cheese
is to insure the thorough mastication
of the cheese as we must of necessity
chew the cracker in order to get it
down.
Cheese Is more wholesome IL lightly
cooked. but overlooking toughens it
and has even more disastrous results
on the digestion than overlooked meat.
Cheese to be used in various dishes
where grated cheese is called for, may
be put through the meat grinder in
many dishes; simply cutting 1t In bits
is sufficient. There should never be
morsel of this good food thrown
away, for even bit grated may be
sprinkled over piece of pie, adding
much to Its attractiveness.
There are numberless methods of
preparing cheese, as canapes, soups,
entries, omelets, souffies, with vegeta-
bles as escalloped dishes, and as des-
sert with a cracker and small cupful

Our best birds this year are those

Manager Donovan and several of the
Yankee players ran out, with the inten-
ton of grabbing Boone before he hurt
spectator.
The actors, stunning the anticipated
blows-but not the publicity which
might come to them-shrank back in
their seats.
Boone raised threatening finger
and in his high-pitched, shrill voice,
said: IF you don't like the way play
ball, you can go home"
1t was during the same game, ac-
cording to Cicotte, that a certain fan
made number of loud, uncomplimen-
tary remarks about the Yankees. Man
ager Donovan heard some Of them, and
finally made up his mind to put stop
to 1t.
He went across the field and stood
opposite the spot where the fan sat.
The latter was burly-looking indlvid-
ual. who appeared well able to take
care Of himself.
ANY more of that line of chatter and
out you gop' shouted Donovan. making
a megaphone of his hands.
"Say, IL you try that you're liable to
wake up some morning and find some
body has placed lily In your hands,"
replied the fan.
Later 1t was learned the fans name
was McAuliffe, prize fighter, of high
repute in former days.
