LABOR SAVED IN
HARVESTING HAY
Good Methods, Efficient Manage
ment and Proper ImpIe-
mentS Are Essential.
USE HORSES FOR HEAVY WORK
Small Grower Need Not Make Large
Investment in New Apparatus
Economical to Use Mowers of
the Larger Sizes.

! prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Much labor is wasted in harvesting
hay, not necessarily because of idle
ness, but because wrong methods, in
efficient management and improper or
imperfect implements are employed,
say specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
On farms where considerable hay is
grown, they say, methods must be
adopted by which the greater part of
the heavy labor is done by horses. This
will necessitate the general use of GER
tain types of Iabor-saving machinery.
some of them not So common in the
East, which have been thoroughly test
ed and proved satisfactory in the west
ern part of the United States. The
small hay grower however, need not
make a very heavy investment in new
haying apparatus. for, by rearranging
the working Of his crew, and using a
little more horse labor for the hard
work, he can add considerably to the
efficiency of his crew
Time Of Moving Is Important.
The time of day when the mower is
amount of hay made per day and the
number of men required. This is espe-
cially true on farms where it is the
custom to haul or stack hay in the
afternoon only. If moving is done. in
the morning and raking in the after
noon, more men and horses than usual
will be required, and if moving and
raking are both done in the afternoon.
still more men and horses will be
needed.
The five-foOt cut is the most common
size used in the East, but it will be |
economy to use larger mowers; six. !
seven and even eight-fOot sizes can be |
used on a great many farms. Some |
idea of the time saved by using these |
larger sizes may be had when the diff |
ference in the amount of work done by |
each is known. Under average condi- |
tons, a five-foot mower will cut ten |
acres in ten hours, a six-fOot mower
will cut u acres, a seven-fOot II acres
and an eight-foOt about 10 acres in ten
hours. 1t should be borne in mind
that more power is required for the

Dig plants, has resulted in a great i'm
prOvement in their practices.
The county extension organization
In Alameda county, California, has
taken steps through its poultry divi-
sion to raise the standard of all pouI-
try in the county by improving the
quality of fowls used in breeding
docks. Owners of hatcheries in the
county have entered into an agree
ment with the county extension or
ganizatiOn to use eggs for incubation
from selected breeding stock, exclud-
ing the incubation OF eggs from the
general run of fowls in the locality,
with the understanding that the coun-
" extension organization shall fur

Of birds selected for breeding.
This method of controlling the
quality Of the poultry in a county is

Matching eggs or birds are sold
Promising development that is being
encouraged in the famous Petaluraa
poultry district is the consignment

breeders have been following the lead
of other growers of high-class live

holding bull sales for a number of
years; sheep breeders have ram sales
hog breeders have sales of boars and
Of bred Sows. In the case of cockerels
no pedigree papers are supplied. as
they are with other kinds of purebred

GOOD GRASS SOD ON ORCHARD
Trees Suffer From Lack of Moisture
and There Is Temptation 10
Turn Stock in.

Where there is a good grass sod on
the orchard. the trees not only suffer
loss of moisture, but there is a con-
slant temptation to turn stock into
the orchard during rush times, or when
the main pastures are short This is
always unsatisfactory, because the
trees are going TO be damaged more
or less, even though average precau-
lions are taken to protect them. If
any stock at all is given the run of
the orchard. poultry is the best, as
being least Injurious TO the trees and
fowls constantly enrich the soil in
the elements particularly necessary for
fruit production. But even then the
advantage is very slight.

SwampRoot is a strengthening medi-

using the eight-foot cut with good
success, and make u practice of NOW
ing early in the morning before the
dew is off. or even during a light rain.
Mower Is Important.
It does not pay TO wait until the dew
is off before starting the mower if the
tedder is used to kick" the water out
of the hay. The size of mower used and
the time of day it is started are the
most important factors in crew ar
rangement. The use of the tedder and
rake are next in importance, and these
three implements should be kept clear
ly in mind when attempting to solve
the problem of how to make a small
crew efficient.

ADVANTAGES OF COVER CROP
If Leguminous, Nitrogen Also
Is Supplied.

Cover crops add organic matter to
the soil. and If they are leguminous
crops, also add nitrogen. They do not
altogether replace barnyard manure,

orchard up to a high standard of pro-
duction than any other one method
we can use. Generally speaking, al

~ TO break the crust unless the seeds

may result from narrowing. When
sown in rows the ordinary implements
used in corn cultivation will be found
satisfactory, as the culture of cow

the ground is well cultivated and

broadcast sowings under favorable
