CUT HAY EARLY.
By Earl Jones, Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College.

One problem of the dairy farms is to
improve the quality of the roughage pro-
,duced on the farm. Growing egume hays
Twill do this, but farmers who have only
grass hay can get a better quality by
harvesting earlier than usual. The ad-
vantages Of early cutting of hay are as
follows:
|. Early cut grass is more nutritious
than that cut later, because it contains
more digestible protein and more digesti-
BILE nutrients per ton. Timothy cut in
full bloom contains l.3 per cent more d.
gestible protein than timothy nearly
ripe. Timothy is richest in protein when
cut at the beginning of bloom, and the
same is true of other grasses
2. The digestibility of grasses de-
creases as they mature, as does also their
palatability for young stock and dairy
cows.
3. The rowen crop is greater where the
first crop is cut early. In feeding value
rowen compares very favorably with
clover.
There is another side to this question:
l. Early cut hay is more difficult to
cure than that cut later
2. The yield from early cut hay is not
as large as from late-cut hay. However,
with early-cut hay, the rowen crop will
. be surer and larger
3. Cutting hay early interferes with
corn cultivation, and this is serious OBJ
I lection. Some work the previous year
towards graduating witch grass, the use
of the harrow and weeder in cultivating
corn, and fitting in of the one or two
practices will help solve this problem. In
this connection it should be remembered
that corn large enough to shade the
ground does not need cultivation except
I for the purpose of killing weeds.
! There are farmers who have practiced
n early cutting Of hay for some years with
Satisfactory results There is no question
about the superiority of early cut hay
for feeding dairy cows and young stock,
although for feeding horses and for mar
ket later cut hay, not too ripe is good.
Can the work on the farm be arranged
30 that there will be more of this good
quality roughage available for the cows
next winter? We believe it will be worth
while.
