HAY MAKING
r. r. Hodgson. .Agronomtst~
Extension Division.

Hay making does not receive the
attention it should. Farmers get
busy with wheat harvest, then wheat
stacking. and some even 60 hack to
corn cultivating before they get into
the hay harvesting.
Wheat harvesting must begin 1ust
as the wheat Is turning uniformly
golden, and it Is best to stack wheat
or put it under cover because it tax
on weight and color. and it is very
necessary to keep the weeds out of
corn AT all times, but particularly
when 1t Is young, yet this very neces-
sary work should not interfere with
hay making il the best quality OF hay
is expected
Hay should be cut at a certain time;
IL cut before it is ripe it will shrivel
up and lack nutrition: II cut too late
liz will shed It's leaves which are the
most valuable part, and get hard and
woody. which is not nutritious nor as
palatable as bright. we'll cured hay.
Timothy, sapling clover, and red top
or hords grass, all mature at about
the same time, therefore, they make
a good hay mixture. Timothy should
he cut before all the bloom drops
clovers make the best hay when the
blooms are about half Drowned and
red top when shedding the bloom.
Every day that this hay ~ xtur =
remains uncut after the above de-
scribed stage of maturity is reached
1t is losing quality.
Hay is more often put up too dry
and brittle, rather than too tough and
damp. II water does not squeeze out
when the hay Is twisted in the hands
1t will do to put up in hay cocks or
in the barn. Hay tedders should be
kept in the hay constantly to aid the
air and sunlight. When the hay falls
fat and is left that way TO cure, the
top burns up before the lower stems
can cure out.
