Hay Making Now
Modern Science
Curing in Windrow Saves
Labor Required for
Cooking.

Even In haying, the world keeps
moving and one might as well keep
with it, is the opinion of III. b. Hart
wig Of the New York State College
of Agriculture, who says that there
is no need for the present-day farmer
to make hay the way his grandfather
did.
Many successful farmers have
found that to cure hay in the wind
row saves from 10 to 40 per cent Of
the labor required by cooking. This
saving makes it possible to get more
hay in between rains. Swath-curing
clover or alfalfa sacrifices too many
leaves and bleaches the hay too much.
Method of Hay Making.
Professor Hartwig recommends the
following method of hay-making. Cut
only after the dew or rain is off. Hay
dries more quickly while standing, and
molds that make hay dusty do not get
started. Allow the hay to wilt in the
swath but do not allow willing to con-
tinue until raking will knock off the
leaves. One-half hour to two hours
Of bright sunshine should be plenty.
Next put it in loose windrow with
a side-delivery rake. The better side
delivery rake is the left-hand type,
because when driven latter the first
round in the same direction in which
the mower goes, the largest number
of stems are turned out and the most
leaves turned in where they will not
dry too rapidly and shatter off. Re
member that the leaves carry about
60 per cent of the protein. The right
hand rake may be used if the hay is
cut in lands. Begin at the middle
with the right-hand rake and work
in a direction opposite to the course
Of the mower.
Give Half-Turn.
When the hay in the upper portion
of the windrow is cured, give the
windrow a half-turn with the outer
end of the side delivery rake, so as
to bring up for curing that portion
which was near the ground. In case
of rains repeat this procedure as
often as is necessary. Avoid the ted
der to save leaves. The hay loader
may be used to take the hay up when
it is well cured. Be sure that the
hay carries no moisture in the form
of rain or dew. Such moisture may
cause spontaneous combustion.

CAREFULLY CLEAN
DAIRY UTENSILS
Vital in Production of All
Sanitary Milk.

The careful cleaning of utensils IL
vital in the production of sanitary
milk. Vessels should first be rinsed
with lukewarm water or ordinary well
or cistern water to remove the milk,
then washed with moderately hot wa
ter, containing small quantity of an
alkali cleaning solution, after which
they should be scalded in hot water
and inverted to dry. They should not
be dried by wiping with cloth since
that will cause contamination. WHIP
ing is not necessary when scalding
water is used, as the heated vessels
will dry of their own accord.
While many dairymen depend upon
the kitchen stove for heating water, q
more dependable plan is to have a
two-hole coal Oil or gasoline stove or
laundry stove on which fits copper
or tin boiler. Ample water can thus
be quickly and economically heated.
For larger dairies small vertical
steam boiler may be used. Such q
boiler has the advantage of providing
live steam by which the utensils may
be more quickly and effectively ster-
ilized.
Milking should be done with dry
hands. pail of clean water and a
clean towel should be placed con-
venient to the mixers and they
should wash and wipe their hands fire.
quently.
Bacteria are minute, single-celled
plants, so small as to be visible only
under a powerful microscope. Twen-
ty-five thousand averaged-siZed bac-
terra placed end to end, would meas
ure only an inch in length. A single
drop of sour milk contains as many as
forty millions of them. Under favor
able conditions, one of these germs d.
vides into two every half hour. Milk
is an ideal medium for their growth.
The bacteria commonly found in milk
grow best at temperatures between
80 and 9S degrees Fahrenheit.

Martins arms came around her and
pulled her closer still, and as he gazed

Politicians Requisite

Isocrates was an orator in Athens,
and to him came others, students Of
elocution, to learn his art
One day there came a man to him
named Creon, who wanted to become
famous as political spellbinder.

you want that kind Of instruction"
said Isocrates.
"Why shall / have to pay more
than those other fellows studying
forensic eloquence?" asked the pros
pective pupil.
Because l shall have to teach you
two arts" replied Isocrates, the teach
er of rhetoric. First l must teach
you speaking and, second, keeping
silent"

Corn for Quail

Farmers who want to harbor quail
can make a good home for them by
leaving some shock fodder with ears
on it near the south edge Of wood
according to p. L. Errington, Univer
sity of Wisconsin, who observed a
large number of covies through the
1929-30 winter. Shock corn also offers
good shelter against weather.
The enemies of quail are not serious
menace to Bob White, but when they
are undernourished they become easier
prey to hawks.

Dairy Hints

|"'"'*s:'''
Prevention of waste is accomplished
in several ways by the use of silage.
When buying a bull to raise heifers
from, look for proven milk production
in the pedigree.
The feeding value of silage is due
in large part to its succulence and
palatability as well as to its actual
content of food elements.
Calf scours are frequently caused
in summer by unclean pals Tin pals
should be used and they should be
washed every day and set out in the
sun.
Animals eat silage almost complete
Iy, though they would refuse a large
proportion Of the forage from which
it is made, if it were given them In
the dry condition.
Cool the cream after skimmiag and
keep it cool by setting the can In cold
water, which is changed two or three
times daily. Stir the cream at least
twice a day and don't mix warm cream
with cold cream.
The wide and growing use of silage
is accounted for by its feeding value,
its prevention of waste, and its con-
venience.
The silo Is now considered an es-
sential in economical dairy feeding.
and has taken an important place in
the feeding of beef cattle and sheep.
The cows that are Obliged to fight
flies by day and mosquitoes by night
on short, burnt pastures, are the ones
that will go dry and prove unprofit-
able.
The typical New York state COW
gives about $500 pounds Of milk a
year. The herds in dairy herd i'm
prevement associations averaged 8,04T
pounds to the cow last year. Econom-
lists say a COW must give at least 1909
pounds of milk to pay profits.
Cows giving more than 20 pounds
of milk daily should have grain even
if grass is abundant A common rule
is one pound of grain to each six
pounds of milk given by the cow. Pro-
tein content of the grain mixture need
not be above 15 per cent

Melon Beetle

The striped melon beetle is a rather
difficult one to control, but spraying
with arsenate of lead at the rate OF
one ounce to a gallon and a half OF
water will prove fairly effective. They
may also be partially controlled by
frequent dustings with air-slaked lime
mixed with sulphur and a little tobac-
co dust added to this will also be
helpful. This should be put on very
early in the morning.

Apple Tree Borer Does
Much Harm in Orchards

1t is rare, indeed, that young or
chard comes into bearing without con-
siderable loss of trees due to the ap-
pie tree borer, unless the orchard is
regularly and carefully inspected to
locate the borers and to make posi-
BILE this destruction.
Presence of borers is usually indi-
Gated by bit Of grass about the base
of the tree on the ground.
Inspection every month or two
through the growing season will be
advisable If you should find any bor-
ers in the orchard 1t may be necessary
to cut along the burrow considerable
distance before the bOrer is found, but
such injury will do less damage than
the borer will if allowed to continue
his work.

Avoid Egg Eating Vice
bv Keeping Birds Busy

Egg eating is vice which seldom
develops among birds that are kept
occupied and have proper feed and
range. Often when the birds are con-
fined owing to bad weather, they may
become inactive and the trouble
starts. The remedy is to get the birds
on range if possible. Supply ample
oyster shell and bone, deepen the lit
ter and darken the nests. See that
the rations are correct. Gather the
eggs frequently for few days. Some
recommend the feeding of milk for
a few days. Anything that will get
the birds attention on other matters
will help remedy the situation.
