On many farms haymaklng is car
ried on in a more or less haphazard
manner, resulting in q loss of time,
as now and then part of the crew Is
idle. With small crews there is usual
ly less loss of time than with larger
crews, where some are moving and
raking, loading and hauling, and 9TH
ers working at the barn all of the
time.
The smallest economical crew for
bringing hay from the field and put
ting 1t into the barn is the three-man
and two-horse crew. In the East, the
common practice is TO load the wagon
with hand forks and unload 1t with
the horse fork or sling. This arrange
ment allows two men to pitch on the
load and one man to build the load on
the wagon and drive the team. When
the load is on. all three men go to the
barn to unload. At the barn one man
works In the NOW, one sticks the hay
fork on the wagon, and the third
man drives the team on the rope. No
time is lost, except that lost by the
two pitchers in travelling between the
barn and the field. In the East the
| average distance between these points
Is q quarter of q mile or less.
Custom in East.
On most average-sized farms in the
East the general custom is to haul
hay in the afternoon only. In the fore
noon, one man mOwS enough hay in
about four hours, starting after the
dew is almost gone, for half a days
| hauling. Three to five acres, yielding
1.5 tons to the acre, is about all the
ordinary three-man crew can handle.
The second man rakes every morn
ing, at the beginning of the haying
season, the hay that was moved the
day before. In the forenoon the third
man does not work at haying at all,
but Is free to do other farm work,
such as blowing corn, etc.
Let us see what the effect will be on
the size of the crew if the hay is not
cut until well past 'full bloom" the

With all classes of poultry breeders
there should be more careful effort
than ever before to secure thorough
sanitation and thus to prevent dis
ease.
On farms correct sanitation is Sc
cured in houses and coops by good
ventilation at all times and the re-
moval of the night droppings as often
as necessary to avoid bad odor. On
the land the desired result is obtained
by distributing the stock so that all
droppings are taken up as fertilizer
by the vegetation growing on it so
quickly that there is no soil pollution.
Observance of these simple rules will
not only prevent all diseases caused by

HOW FARMERS GET HELP 4:

prepared by the United States
Department OF Agricultural
In every agricultural district
there are farmers who have sue
ceeded in holding their en-
ployees in spite of all the attrac-
tons offered by other industries.
These farmers have usually en-
ployed married men and have
furnished them with small but
comfortable house. Moreover,
the laborers have enjoyed the
privilege Of raising a small gar
den and few pigs and chickens.

Hay Making With a Small Crew.

stage of maturity at which hay (tim-
othy, for example) must be cut If
choice or "tea green" hay is to be Sc
cured.
/ Hay cut when past full bloom cures
quite rapidly If the weather is favor
able, and hay moved in the forenoon
can be put into the barn in the af-
ternoon. This arrangement requires
an extra man and two extra horses to
rake the hay. To facilitate matters,
the side-delivery rake should be used
so that loading can be started as soon
as the rake has made one round. The
fourth man will usually finish raking
by three or four o'clock in the after
noon, and can help load during the re-
mainder Of the day. However, three
men pitching onto one wagon is not
ordinarily a very economical arrange
ment.
Moving in the Afternoon.
Now let us suppose that It is decid-
ed to do the moving in the afternoon
as we'll as the raking, and see how this
arrangement affects the size of the
crew. Such a method requires anoth-
er additional man or team, making a
crew of five men working In the hay
field In the afternoon only. There will
be one man moving, one raking the
hay moved the day before, and three
men bringing hay from the field and
putting 1t into the barn. Two more
horses will also be required with this
method, making q total of six, yet
this larger crew will handle no more
hay per day than the three-man crew
above described.
The amount Of hay that can be
handled under these conditions will
be from 40 to 60 acres. depending upon
the yield. If the hay loader is used
more hay can be handled per day. The
two pitchers work on the wagon build
ing the load, and the third man drive:

tinue under any circumstances was
the opinion advanced yesterday by
Charley Ebbets. Several days ago
Ebbets said that as far as he knew
only the Giants and the Cubs were
making money in the National League
so it may be presumed that the Su-
perbas are operating without showing
a profit In spite Of that Ebbets is
for carrying on"
To show that he did not mean to give
up the ship Ebbets yesterday signed
a lot of youngsters who had been
drilling mornings at Ebbets field and
engaged Jimmy Archer the veteran
catcher. Archer last week got his un
conditional release from the Pirates.
He Joined Pittsburg last spring after
having been released Internationally
by the Cubs in md-season Of 1917.
Archer is no longer the Archer of old
but he should prove of great assist
ance to Wilbert Robinson, not only
as q catcher, but as a coach
