CURING HAY CROP

Method Now Generally PractiCed
Where Best Quality of
Legume Is Desired.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
One Of the best methods of curing
bay 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
must be raked after it has been in the
swath a certain length of time, or the
leaves will become dried out and lose
color. When it is raked into the
windrow 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 1t be-
comes necessary to remove the hay in
order to retain good color and
aroma.
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 he 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 1t Is
cured ont 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
week. Hay cooked too green" will
cause heating. The larger the cock
the more danger there is of heating
when undercurcd 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

tanned. If continued from year to
year, such organized efforts are very
effective.
Community Efforts.
Cooperative efforts to destroy rats
have taken various forms in different
localities. In cities, municipal en-
ployees have occasionally been set at
work hunting rats from their retreats,
with at least temporary benefit to
the community. Thus, In 1904, at
Folkestone, England, town of about
$4,000 inhabitants, the corporation
employees, helped by dogs, in three
days killed 1.645 rats.
Side hunts in which rats are the
only animals that count in the con-
test have sometimes been organized
and successfully carried out. At New
Burlington, o., a rat hunt took place
some years ago in which each of the
two sides killed over 5000 rats, the
beaten party serving Il banquet to
the winners.

hunts will be followed by long in
tervals of Indifference and inaction.
This may be prevented by offering
prizes covering a definite period of
effort. Such prizes accomplish more
than municipal bounties, because they
secure friendly rivalry which stiln-
ulates the contestants to do their ut
most to win.
In England and ZONE of its colonies
contests for prices have been organ

tem of roads their value will depre-
clate under ordinary circumstances
faster than new roads can be con-
structed. 1t is therefore essential that
after road is once built, great care
should be taken in Its upkeep. There
is no question that the cost Of proper
maintenance Is many times saved in
the increased economic value of the
highway traffic.
Maintenance may be divided into
two general classes: First, the upkeep
of roads which have been constructed
along standard line with minimum
grades, proper drainage and surfac-
ing material; second, the conditioning
of roads that have had little, If any,
constructive attention.
Highways coming under the first
class are not so liable to be neglected
by those entrusted with their care,
and while their maintenance problem
is very important and necessary one,
this class Of roads represents only a
lesser portion. The greater percent
age of roads in the state are not i'm
proved. Inasmuch as this class of
roads serve the majority Of the people
and this kind Of road will always pre-
dominate, 1t is very necessary that at
tention be directed to proper ways and
means Of their maintenance.
Each year more or less construction
work is being done and the mileage Of
improved roads increased, and while
this work is going on the unimproyed
roads should be kept in as good condi-
ton as possible at minimum cost.
The best results can only be OBJ
tanned by the enthusiasm and local
pride of the man who uses the road.
He Is the fellow most interested, and
q small amount of intelligent atten-
ton by himself and his neighbors will
show great results on their particular
section Of the road.
This rule applied throughout the
length and breadth Of any state would
mean system Of earth roads that
could be pointed to with pride.

NATURAL FEED FOR POULTRY
Hens Should Receive Grains and Other
Milling Products, Meat Meals
and Green Stuff.

The natural food Of poultry consists
of grains, insects, green forage and
grit, and accordingly in domestication
1t is reasonable that the hens receive
cereal grains and other milling prod
ucts, and such animal feeds as meat
meals and skim milk, and should also
have an abundance Of green feed or
such substitutes for it as roots or
steamed clover. Oyster shells, grit and
plenty of fresh water should also be
supplied.

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Have Always Been
Necessary Adjunct to State,
Community and Individual.

Good highways are and have always
been>a necessary adjunct to the well
fare of the state, community and indi-
vidual. The argument, "Good roads
cost lots Of money" may in reality be
true when figured in dollars and miles,
but is incorrect when considered in
reality. Good roads must be paid for,
but they are paid for whether they are
built or not. The wear and breakage
on teams, harness and vehicles, and
the increased cost of hauling on poor
roads is costing the grower far more
than the price Of building and keeping
in repair the very best roads. he Is
actually paying for the roads without
getting them; and, besides. Is put to
much Inconvenience and worry.
In short good roads cost nothing.
