prepared by the United States Depart

One of the best methods Of curing
hay Is to cure In the cock. This method
Is not generally practiced except In re-
gions where unfavorable weather is
the rule rather than the exception. or
when the best quality of legume hay is
desired. Throughout the middle West.
where hay leaders are used, hay is not
cooked because Of the extra labor re
quired and the inability to handle
cooked hay with the hay loader.
It has been shown that 1t Is neces-
sary to get rid of the water In the
plant evenly. On a sunshiny day hay
must be raked after 1t has been In the
swath q certain length Of time, or the
leaves will become dried out and lose
color. When It Is raked into the
windrow a smaller proportion Of the
hay Is exposed to the action Of the
suns rays. After remaining in the
windrow, where further curing Is
done, the time is reached when it be-
comes necessary to remove the hay In
order to retain a good color and
roma.
Cure Hay In Cocks.
When this stage Is reached the next
thing to do is to put the hay into the
cock, where a still smaller proportion
of the hay will be exposed to the sun.
The curing process is not stopped
when hay is cooked, but goes on less
rapidly than when in the windrow and
much more slowly than when in the
swath. The hay in the cock continues
to lose its moisture slowly until It Is
cured out sufficiently to be baled or
put into the stack or barn. The time
required for curing will depend upon
the moisture content when cooked, the
amount Of hay put into the cock, and
also upon weather conditions.
Under ordinary conditions hay will
cure in the cock in from three days to
a week. Hay cooked too 'green" will
cause heating. The larger the cock
the more danger there Is Of heating
when undercured hay Is cooked. Hay
Is put into cocks containing from Is
to 100 pounds Of cured hay. About
100 pounds is the size most commonly
used In many sections.
Cloudy and rainy weather not only
retards curing but may cause heating

The average life Of a farm tractor

cooked hay shows danger of becoming
too hot 1t will be necessary to open
the cock and scatter the hay out until
It has lost enough moisture to be re-
cooked.
Hay can be put in small cocks green

take hay from the windrow and make
very small punches. each containing
about three forkfuls Of hay, before the
hay Is in condition to be put into a

How to Cock Hay.
There are two ways to make q hay
cock. One is to roll up the hay in the
windrow into a rather loose cock or
bunch, or to round up (cock) punches
Of hay that have been punched with q
sulky or push rake. after the hay Is al
most cured. The bulk of the hay In
this kind of a cock is not handled, be-
Ing left rolled up and tangled from
the action Of the rake. The edges are
pulled out with a pitchfork and put
on top OF the cock. Such cocks are
subject TO considerable settling, and
flatten out and do not shed rain. This
practice Is suitable for curing In good
weather, as a man can handle more
than twice as much ebay as when
cooking the other way. It Is q waste
OF time, however, to cock hay IN this
manne II 1t is to be exposed to rain,
unless hay caps are used for the rain
will wet and spoil the hay.
The best and correct way to build
a cock. when working with fairly
green hay, Is to take the hay, a fork
full at a time, and spread 1t out fiat.
Care should be taken to build a good,
symmetrical cock. in the same manner
as a stack is built. The top should
come to a sharp peak. and. when the
last forkful Is on the sides, should be
ralzed downwards so that the stems
will cause rain to run OF and away
from the center of the cock. Cocks
built In this name will shed consid-
erably more rain than when most Of
the hay Is rolled up or punched. Well
cooked hay covered with caps can, II
necessary, remain IN the field over .

used, even though the number of

chine need not be expected to have
employment for as many days annual.
ly as did the horses. The horses kept
will do some of the work, which will,
of course, decrease the amount to be
done by the tractor. A considerable
percentage Of the 100 days work done
by horses represents odd Jobs for
which the tractor cannot be used to
advantage. Even II the machine were
to do all the work formerly done by
the horses, 1t would not normally be
employed 100 days per year. inasmuch
as 1t does the work more rapidly.
It should be borne in mind, says the
bulletin, that practically all farm OPP
erations must be carried on within lim-
tied periods. and that between these
seasons there will often be no field
work which the tractor a do, either
on the home farm or for neighbOrs.
The fact that weather and soil condi-
tons are such as to permit field work
with q tractor does not necessarily
mean that there is such work to be
done. Farm management plays on i'm
portant part In organizing the farm
SO as to provide profitable employment
for the tractor during as many days
as possible. Such organization In
wolves the planning Of a crop rotation
which will furnish a large amount OF
work which 1t can do, the elimination
Of as many horses as desirable, and
the distribution of the work Over a
long period. However, the rotation
should include only such crops rs can
be grown probably in that particular
section.
The significance Of the fact that q
large percentage Of the Illinois farm
ers who reported enlarged their farms
after buying tractors Is readily appar-
ent when the tractors place In farm
management is thus considered. OBJ
yiously these men have learned through
experience that much more land per
man can be handled when a tractor Is
used than with horses only, and that
to get the most out of their invest
ment they must farm land enough to
keep their tractors busy at profitable
work throughout as much as possible
Of the available working season.
