70 Law off "land' for himself and
work independently, so there will be
no Interference from other machines.
DO not turn hay by hand. 1t is too
costly. The cheapest and most efficient
way of stirring hay In the windrow is
with a two-horse tedder. One man
with a tedder will do more work than
12 men stirring with hand forks. 1t
IS not even necessary to have a man
to run the tedder A boy big enough
to drive team will do just as much
work
A one-horse rake operated by man
makes raking very costly. A two-horse
suky rake is better, but the side-de-
livery rake is best. When curing is
done In the swath and hay loader
Is used, the crew can start taking the
hay from the windrOw as soon as the
side delivery has made one double win
drow across the field. If the sulky
rake is used. the crew will have to
wait until the rake has gone several
times across the field. In this matter
the extent of the haying operations has
to be considered, Of course. On very
small farms the use of the side-de-
livery rake might not be economy.
1t is waste of time to pitch hay
onto small hayrack on a high-wheeled
wagon. Use a large hayrack on a
lowwheeled wagon.
Save Labor on the Stack.
The push rake furnishes the most
economical method Of hauling hay to
the stack, barn, or hay press If the
distance is not much more than one
fourth Of a mile. One man. or a boy,
with a good push rake and team
used to the work will handle three
times as much hay as two men with
small rack on high-wheeled wagon,
Stacking hay with push rake and
an overshOt stacker mounted on wheels
eliminates nearly all Of the back
breaking work Of the old pitchfOrk
method With yield of one to one
and half tons to the acre. two men
on the stack can easily handle all the
hay brought In by three push rakes,
accomplishing vast saving In labor
and hay over the pitchfOrk method.
Another method not so good but still
vastly better than the pitchfOrk method
IS stacker equipment with double
harpoon fork. The outfit can be made
at home and will cost very little COM
pared with the labor 1t saves, but
harder work is necessary to get the
hay on the stack than with the over
shot stacker.
When hay is to be baIed from the
held. one man by working in the after
noon. can round up enough hay which
mas been punched by push rakes to
Keep the press going next morning
until the dew Is gone from the hay In
me Windrow. When the hay Is not
thus rounded up the crew will lose
TWO hours or more on mornings when
mere Is heavy dew.
Carelessness in setting the press may
result In loss of labor. When the press
is properly set two men can get
plenty OF hay to It from the stack.
