Of changing pasture and make a prac-
tice of changing their fiocks from one
pasture to another, and sometimes to a
third, during the same season, and
though in most cases they can give no
good reason for their success, they
claim to get better results by so doing.
Since the length of time on each pas
ture is much greater than two weeks
(the maximum time a pasture can be
occupied and insure safety from infec-
tion) 1t is likely that the advantage
gained in this respect Is due to the bet
ter feed afforded rather than to the
prevention Of worms, yet the practice
Is a good one and should be more gen.
orally followed.
Most Of the so-called running out not
due to disease can be attributed to
poor care and to degeneration as q re-
suit Of long-continued inbreeding. In
breeding to any great extent should
be avoided and new blood introduced
occasionally In order to maintain vigor
and vitality.
The disease factor Is one which can
hardly be oyeremphaslzed. II appears
to be one Of the most important fac

used, even though the number OF
horses is somewhat reduced, the ma
chine need not be expected to have
employment for as many days annual
ly as did the horses. The horses kept
win do some of the work, which viii.
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 If 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 II does the work more rapidly.
II should be borne in mind, says the
bulletin, that practically oil farm OPP
eratIons must be carried on within Inn
tied periods, and that between these
seasons there will often be no field
work which the tractor can do, either
on the home farm or for neighbours
The fact that weather and soil condi-
lions are such as to permit field work
with a tractor does not necessarily
mean that there is such work to be
done. Farm management plays an 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 as can
be grown proftably in that particular
section.
The significance of the fact that D
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
viously 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

Hay CROP
IN COCK IS BEST
Method Now Generally PraCticed
Where Best Quality of
Legume Is Desired.
EXTRA LABOR IS REQUIRED
Found Necessary to Get Rid Of Water
In Plant EvenIy-correet Way TO
Build Cock When Working
With Green Hay.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
One of the best methods OF curing
hay is to cure In the cock. This method
is not generally practiced except in re-
gons 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-
CURED 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 it has been in the
swath 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 it be-
comes necessary to remove the hay in
order to retain a 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 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 1t 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" win
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 rs
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
If the rain enters the cock. When

from each wagon In this manner, there
would be few of the common hay-rack
wagons In use.
The department Of agriculture is
urging that this year only wagons with
tight bottoms having low sides, which
will prevent the grain from falling
over the edges, be used. They cost
comparatively little and require only
a few hours to construct. AT present
prices the amount Of grain that this
type of wagon box would save would
easily pay for its cost.
While 1t cannot be expected that 21k
bushels a day can be saved in all
cases, this amount of loss is not at all
unusual. Whatever the loss may be,
1t is easily prevented. In case the
farmer does not care to spend the time
or money involved in constructing a
tight wagon box, he can accomplish
practically the same result by covering
the bottom Of the hay-rack with blank
cts or tarpaulin, which will catch the
grain, and from which the grain can
be removed each evening.
