tings, you put it up the same aft
ternoon.
If the cutting is going over two
tons, it may be necessary to turn
the windrows over more times be-
fore putting up. The best way to
tell when the hay is ready to put
up is Just reached in the center of
the windrow and feel if the hay is
cured. You don't want it dry.
To be safe, it is good plan to
use eight TO IL pounds of salt
sprinNed over each load or eight
to IL pounds of air-slacked lime.
If you think your hay is a little too
green, the application of the salt
or lime-no need of using both
will help to keep your hay from
getting dusty. This method is fol-
lowed my most farmers in the
Red River Valley, and they are
putting up beautiful pea green al
falfa hay.
Some farmers, after a good
many years of experience, are cut
ting their hay in the afternoon, as
this is the time of day when most
of the moisture has evaporated
out of the alfalfa plant. Moisture
accumulates in the plant all during
the night. Under average condi-
tons, the dew is off around 1000
o'clock in the morning. From this
time until, say loo o'clock, the
sun and the hot winds evaporate
good deal of the moisture out of
the plant, so that when it is cut
beginning about 1 100, it really has
lot less moisture in it than it
has during the forenoon.
When you are stacking your
hay, build your stack so that it
will bulge out at the side similar
to grain stack, keeping the CEN
ter full. just before you put on
the last six or eight inches of hay
lay strips of tar paper along the
sides of the top lengthwise and
then more strips tapping over the
top with one strip saddling the
crest of the stack. This will make
a weather board effect, and the rain
will run right down and off of the
outer edge of the stack. Then, put
six or eight inches of hay on top
of this and put your wires or hang
ers over this hay to hold the paper
solidly in place. Then, when you
are ready to use the hay or bale
it, all that you have lost will he
the hay above the paper, and you
will find under your tar paper hay
in excellent condition.
The first cutting, as a rule, is
the most difficult to cure because
it is more apt to come at the
rainy season during the latter part
of June or the first week in July.
This trouble cannot he controlled
by man, so if some of our hay gets
wet, the only thing ito do lis to
leave it in the cocks, if it rs a small
patch and you have put it in cocks
to cure, until the day comes when
the weather is suitable and then
open up the cocks so that the sun
and wind will dry off the rain or
dew moisture. Put it up the same
day. If it lis changeable weather,
it is not a good plan to uncock
more than you are quite sure of
being able to take care of that
day.
If you are using a side delivery
rake, keep turning the windrows
until the air and wind have dried
off all the dew and rain moisture.
Then, put it in the stack or in the
barn. Even if it does change in

the hog had laid on the ground 6
day or two, it wouldn't bleed. The
same is true of your alfalfa lying
in the swath for long period
With alfalfa, you want to get the
moisture to pass out of your hay
before you haul it into the stack
or barn so the moisture content
will be down at least to 20 pei
cent.
While the alfalfa plant is grow
ing, it pumps moisture out of the
ground by way of its roots. This
passes up through the plant and
goes out by evaporation through
it's leaves. So when you have cut
the hay from the crown of the
plant, you stop any new supply of
moisture evaporating out through
the leaves in order to properly
cure it, and at the same time save
the leaves. If the hay lies in the
windrow, the hot rays of the sun
and heat of the wind will soon
curl up the leaves. Then the mois-
ture has to pass out through the
stem of the plant. Therefore, the
secret Of curing the alfalfa hay is
to keep the leaves from curling
up.
How are you going to do this?
When the hay falls back over the
sickle bar, the leaves are mostly
on top because the leaves of any
plant strive at all times to face the
light. To keep the leaves from
curling up, turn the swaths upside
down as soon as possible so as to
get the leaves DOWN near the
ground and the stubble, and the
stem part of the plant, or the bot
tom of the swath, up to top. On
a small patch of alfalfa, you can
follow the mower with fork and
turn the swaths over, "bottom side
up" Then, after it lies there for a
few hours in the hot sun and wind
rake it up and put it in small
cocks that are built narrow and
high and leave it there for several
days TO cure.
Where you have 10 or more
acres, the above method is too
slow and takes too much hired
help. You have to pay about three
times as much today for hay-mak-
ers as you did 10 or Is years ago.
While the prices of side delivery
rake, hay leaders and other inn
proved machinery for making hay
are only about double the cost of
what they were 10 or Is years ago.
The left-hand side delivery rake
comes as near turning the windrow
upside down as any machine that
can be secured. Also, it throws
the leaves to the center and most
of the stems to the outside or on
top.
When the hay is cut, it should
be thrown in the windrows with
the side delivery rake at least
within one or two hours after cut
ing during sunny, dry weather.
Don't let it lie on the ground and
get dry. That's not curing it. If
the hay is going u to two tons,
it can be left in the windrows this
way until the next morning about
II o'clock, when the dew is off
the top part of the windrow. Then
drive along the side of the wind
rows so that your side delivery
rake will give it half a turn or
again "bottom side up. Leave it
lie this way for a few hours until
you believe it is cured enough to
put in the stack or NOW. Of course,

SECRETS OF

VNHERE is something interesting
L about "dog days" what the
expression means and how 1t came

is most prevalent. 1t is thought
to he the mad dog" time. The
time thus alluded to is always a
period of great heat. But in the
beginning it had nothing to do
with mad dogs"
The Romans used the term
'caniculares dies" to describe the
six or eight hottest weeks of sum
mer. Their theory was that the
dog-Star, or Sirius, rising with the
sun from July to August IL,
added it's heat to that of the sun
and was therefore responsible for

But it is during that same period

action of the heat on the dog as
the fact. that the heat favors the
multiplication of the germ Of
rabies in the soil.
Rabies, or hydrophobia, was one

nized and described in the whole
history of medicine. The classics
are full of records of it, and it was
called 'l1ydrophobia" by CELSIUS, a

It affects any animal, though

was made general, the number of
fatal cases has considerably de-

many. From 1917 to 1921 there
