Owing to the cold dry weather. and
several frosts that have occurred
within the last few weeks. the alfalfa
is making a very slow growth, and In
many cases has apparently stopped
growing altogether. This Is a very
bad condition, and as long as the
alfalfa is allowed to stand this way
1t will not make any further growth.
and will be weakened to q greater ex-
tent than II the growth that has been
made Is cut of.
, Time to Cut Alfalfa.
In many cases there may not be
enough. growth to really warrant cut
ting 1t for hay. This. however.
should not prevent the cutting of It
because II this old growth Is cut of
the new shoots will come on much
more rapidly than II the old growth
is left standing.
It will be noticed by careful exam
ination that there are many new buds
and shoots at the bottom Of the old
plants, ready to start Just rs o as
the top is u off. The plant food and
moisture will be going up into the
old stalks as long as they are allow
ed to stand. and Consequently the new
growth will be retarded Just that
much. 1t is probable that every field
Of alfalfa in this vicinity could be cut
within the next week. Much of 1t ID
very spotted and the short alfalfa will
be hard to ave
Save Every Leaf Possible.
There is no question but what there
will be a very short hay crop this
year. and consequently an effort
should be made to gather up every bit
Of alfalfa possible. 1t must be realiz-
ed that this alfalfa is equal in feed
ing value to wheat bran, and conse-
quently is actually worth much more
than 1t is usually considered to be
worth.
Do Not Cut on New Shoots.
Careful examination should be
made Of the alfalfa field at the time of
cutting. and the sickle bar adjusted
so as not to cut off any large number
Of new shoots that are starting from
the bottom. If the cutting is delay
ed for a week Or more it Is probable

the day following put it in the stack
with the sweep rake me stacker, as

shown.
From this picture it will be noticed
that there are foul teams and five
men. At no time did we ever use
more in handling more than so acres
of alfalfa. and an equal area OF otner
hays. With this outfit we could easily
stack 10 to Is acres of hay in a day,
and we seldom began stacking before
10 or II o'clock. 1t is believed that
such an outfit will handle alfalfa at
the very least expense of labor. We
find it more economical to stack the
hay in h field and haul it in the fall
and winter when there is not such a
rush of work. =.
We used a eft. mower for cutting
the alfalfa, threw 1t into the windrow
with the side delivery rake, gathered
it up out of the windrow with a sweep
rake. and put 1t on the stack with the
combined sweep rake and stacker.
with which it is possible to lay the
hay on any part of the stack desired.
Much Of the hay, when put on the
stack with this stacker. does not need
to be moved at all. but can be spread
mum of work.
How to Stack Alfalfa.
Those who passed our farm during
the past year undoubtedly noticed
that the stacks were practically all Of
the same size. We have found from
experience In handling alfalfa, that a
stack about 10 feet wide and 80 feet
long makes the most satisfactory size.
We always build a stack bottom Of
some material. II brush or rails are
available such are used; il not a foot
or 30 of dry straw is used. This keeps
the alfalfa hay of the ground, and
will often save a lot Of valuable hay.
In starting the stack the alfalfa is
built up almost straight for about s
feet. Then 1t is desirable ito begin to
lay out the hay until the width Of the
stack is perhaps Is to 16 feet, and
then gradually drawing in, finishing
the stack at about 20 to "a feet high,
which is as high az the combined
sweep rakes and stacker will elevate
the hay. Such a stack will hold from
10 to IL. tons. depending on the hay,
and how we'll 1t has been tramped, or
how long 1t is allowed to settle be-
fore finishing the stack. When posi-
BILE 1t is a good idea to run the stack
up and top out rather bluntly and let
stand for a day or two, and then re-
top. If care is taken in building such
q stack. to keep the center good and

to produce seed in some sections, al
though the experience in the Red
River Valley is that 1t is not advisable
to try to W. seed. The loss Of hay is
greater than the value secured from
the seed.
Making Alfalfa Hay.
The making of alfalfa hay is no
more difficult than making any other
kind Of hay. There seems to be a
general impression that for some e a
son alfalfa requires different hand
ling. and Is harder to make. The first
crop Of alfalfa which comes on about
the goth to 25th of June may give
more trouble in getting it up in good
shape than the later cuttings. because
Of the fact that usually at this time
there is apt to be wet weather.
However, this is not the fault of the
hay.
1t is true that alfalfa will stand as
much. or more rain than some other
common hays. and not be damaged to
as great an extent. Rain, Is a detri-
ment to any hay crop.
As stated, the time of cutting al
falfa for hay is determined entirely
by the stage Of growth, and this can
watching for the new growth which
starts at the crown Of the plant.
For the first cutting, especially. the
blooming period is apt to be greatly
delayed, especially IL there happens
to be some frost after the alfalfa had
made considerable growth. 1t is well.
however. to watch for both tillers and
bloom, for it has been known that
when the weather was very dry the
new growth or tillers may be delayed
until after h crop has been cut. in
which case it would be well to note
the blooming very carefully.
Cutting Alfalfa Hay.
Alfalfa 10 relatively easy to cut.
and an ordinary team will handle a
SIT. mower and there is a big ad-
vantage in using as large a machine
as possible, so as to cut the field
shape when the alfalfa was sown, the
mower may be run close to the
ground, although IL the tillers have
made considerable growth 1t is ad-
vtsable to cut above them. The bot
tom part Of the alfalfa stems are
more woody. and for this reason there
is little advantage in cutting low. In
fact. there is some advantage in leav-
Ing q rather long stubble. Of 3 or 4
inches, which will help to hold the
hay up OF the ground, and allow It to
cure more readily.
Az 1t is the big problem to get the
moisture out Of the hay quickly after
1t is cut, 1t 10 desirable to cut the hay
at q time when there IL a. little mois-
ture In 1t as possible. This would be
during the hottest part Of the day,
and particularly after the dew had
gone of in the morning. The alfalfa

the I. H. c, farm, we can see where
the land has" been MANFRED, and
where It has not, by the extra growth
that comes UP from MANFRED land.
The soil also holds moisture much
better where there is plenty Of humus.
resulting from the decomposition of
the manure. and also the added fer
tility increases the growth Of the al
falfa.
Make Two Cuttings a Year.
Our observation Of the Jour years
Of growing alfalfa on the I. H. c.
farm IL that two crops q year is all
that should be taken off. Two years
in succession we cut a part Of our
alfalfa late. a third time, and in each
case the alfalfa badly winter killed.
We cut about five acres Of our alfalfa
a third time last'year. and we will lose
twice the amount of hay from the first
cutting this year, that was secured
from the third cutting last year.
Consequently there is a great loss in
trying to get a third cutting.
We And that the first cutting of al
falfa should be made about the mid
die to 35th Of June. running up to the
LIST of July The second cutting then
should be ready by the middle of
August and this will give the alfalfa
a chance to make sufficient growth to
catch the nov and protect it through
the winter.
Hardy Alfalfa Does Best.
1t is also obvious from watching
our fields. that the harder alfalfas
are the most dependable. The Mon
tana and South Dakota seed has come
through the winters in good shape,
but the Grimm has shown more vigor
in coming through the winter.
Effort should be made to increase
the production of Grimm seed, so
that ultimately all the alfalfa seed In
this section will be Of this variety, or
come harder n yet to be discover
ed. It is very probable that the very
backward spring will to a large ex-
tent hinder the production of seed.
That is, it is not expected that al
faifn will grow and produce seed after
the heavy frost we have had, as much
of the bloom doubtless. was damaged
by the frost. It is probable that the
second growth will come on in time
