hay crops shows that in the case of timothy, 100 pounds of hay cut early (before full bloom) contains 61 pounds of total nutrient, while timo- thy hay cut nearly ripe contains only 45.4 pounds of total nutrient. In other words, the man who allows his timothy to become over ripe loses ap- proximately 1-2 pounds of digest ihle nutrient in every hundred pounds, which means a loss of over 100 pounds of digestible matter per ton. In the case of Kentucky Blue Grass hay, this loss is about 135 pounds per ton. Clo- yer hay which is cut in bloom, con- tains more than 30 pounds more di- gestible nutrient per ton than clover cut after blooming. Alfalfa hay con- tains about 100 pounds more digest ible matter per ton when cut just be- fore bloom than is the case when it is cut after the seed forms.
 The feeder of live stock, who is paying present prices for nutrients in the feeds he buys cannot afford to overlook this opportunity to add sev- eral hundred pounds of digestible matter to his home grown feed. Look these figures over carefully and ask yourself whether or not you can af- ford to allow your hay to become over ripe.

that it was water which cut most of this deep valley in the solid granite. Originally the Merced River flowed practically at the level of the canyon top. How long it took it's waters, enormous in volume then, no doubt, to scrape with tools of sand this val ley thousands of feet into the living granite, no man can even guess. And, as 1t cut the valley, it left the tribu- tary streams sloping even more sharp ly from their levels until eventually they poured over brinks as giant wa terfalls.
 But geologi6ts have determined, by unerring fact, that the river did by far the most of the work, and that the great glacier which followed the water ages afterwards did little more than square it's corners and steepen its cliffs. It may have increased the depth from seven hundred to a thou sand feet, not more.
 1 During the uncountable years since the glaciers vanished, erosion has again marveiously used it's wonder chisel. With the lessening of the Merced's volume, the effect was no longer to deepen the channel but to | amazingly carve and decorate the walls.

CUTTING HAY EARLY INCREASES
 ITS FOOD VALUE

The opportunity to increase the feeding value of hay by cutting it at the proper state of maturity is a very important matter and should not be overlooked. Actual tests have shown that hay which had been cut late and improperly cured decreased almost 50 per cent. in value. With the very high prices of all feed stuffs every far mer must this year plan to get as good quality homegrown feed as possible. Early instead of late cut hay is one way of increasing the quality of next winters feed.
 All hay, especially timothy, has a higher feeding value if cut before ma turity. For dairy COWS this is a point worth considering. If timothy hay must be used for dairy cattle, cut it in full bloom, or even trif1e before. Never wait until the heads have ripen- ed and turned brown. Mature hay is less palatable, less nutritious and too woody"
 The calendar is no indicator of when hay should be cut. If it were, June 18th would often be a more | correct date than July 4th which seems to be the custom of many far mers.
 Weather is great factor in hay ma king. but many fields are left too long because having was started too late As rule the weather is more favor. able from June goth to July 2etr than in August and hay cut early il

best not only because better cured but nutritious. Because the hay was cut one season when continued wet wealth CT followed is not sufficient reason for believing that the next season will be the same. It is the uncommon occurrences which we seem to re- member best and not the ordinary. Although the farmer has no control over the weather, there are daily and weekly forecasts available with a fair degree of accuracy and much more reliable than the judgment of the in dividual.
 The first essential to securing the greatest amount of food value in the hay is to cut the grasses and clovers at the proper stage of maturity. Cut ting grasses when in full bloom should be avoided in all cases. The best re- suits are obtained when grass is cut just as it is beginningto bloom. Cut ting timothy at this stage of matur- ity makes a considerably better quail ity hay than when cut in full bloom or after blooming when it is more woody and less palatable for feeding dairy stock.
 Clover, orchard grass and Kentucky blue grass are the first to cut. Late cut orchard grass is little better than straw, and no second growth is made cut it early! Timothy and redtop mature a little later but never ought to be left until the heads have gone to seed. For market hay timothy yields little more if cut after bloom | ing, but for home consumption the higher feeding value of early cut tim
 othy more than offsets the difference
 in yield. Cut it early for the cows To obtain the highest feeding val.
 ue in clover hay it should be cut whe1
 in full bloom. If cut later, many ot the leaves are lost in handling. Int
 leaves contain the largest amount O
 protein in the plant
