Make Quality Hay When
Alfalfa Blooms Appear

Alfalfa should be cut for hay about
the time the blooms appear or at the
time the young shoots start out from
the crown. The mower should be
equipped with shoe so as not to cut
too low as this will damage the crop.
The hay should remain in the swath
only long enough to wilt good, then
it should be raked with tedder, or
side delivery rake, and allowed to cure
in the wipdrow, rather than in the
swath. If exposed to the sun too long
in the swath, the leaves will cure and
become brittle before the stems are
cured. This will stop the leaves from
performing the duty Of drawing the
moisture from the stems, and that will
result in dangerous hay If it is baled
before properly curing. When prop
erly cured in the windrow the leaves,
which constitute about 60 per cent of
the feeding value Of the hay. are
saved OF course alfalfa can be cured
in the swath, the same as any other
hay, but it is Important that 1t be
thoroughly cured, or 1t may cause
death from feeding. or possibly, spon-
taneous combustion-which will like
ly burn the place where 1t Is stored.
However, there is no excuse for this
If care Is taken In curing.

Clean House Essential
for Success With Pigs

A clean hog house is the first reQui-
site In connection with raising a
healthy crop Of pigs. says the Nebras-
ka Agricultural college. Merely scrap
ing, shoveling and sweeping the dirt
out Of n shed does not make that shed
safe for newborn pigs. Round-worm
eggs and filth-born disease germs
which are the sources Of our most
destructive pig troubles are micro
scopic in size and thousands Of them
may be contained in the dirt and
filth which can only be removed by
washing. The only way to destroy
worm eggs is to boil them. A good
dlsinfectant will destroy the germs
which cause bull-nose. mango, pig
typhoid, etc. To make the hog house
safe, scrub it with boiling lye water.
The lye will cut the dirt. Then spray
all posts and walls with solution Of
liquid cresolis $50 to ~ and put in
fresh clean bedding.

Night Pastures Favored
for Cattle and Horses

night pasture for dairy cattle and
horses saves some time every .nlorning
and good effects can be noticed on the
stock The cows will do much bet
ter If they can spend the night on pas
ture from the time the ground has
warmed up until early fall. 1t isn't
possible to have n night pasture on
every farm. In such a case, 1t Is bet
ter to spend little time rounding
the stock up in the morning than to
not let them out at all.
Some object to letting their work
horses out nights on pasture. A horse
may sweat little more. but seem to
keep in better health the year round
and takes much less care when given
the run Of a pasture. This does not
mean to not give them an evening
feed. We give our horses the regular
feed in the barn when at work. On
idle days they are turned on pasture
and given feed at night If they come
up. When horse can roll on the
pasture sod he requires very little cur
rying.
