CURING HAY CROP
TO RETAIN COLOR
Artificial Drying Found to
Be Good Practice.
By e. r. Gross, Agricultural Engineer
New Jersey College of Agriculture.
WNU Service.

By r: r: Gross, Agricultural Engineer.
WNU Service.
Larger scale production and in
creased use of machinery have
placed greater emphasis on the
proper curing and handling of hay
to preserve it's feed value, prevent
shattering Of leaves, and to retain
the full green color and the caro-
tene from which animals get vita
min A. Observations and research
on the new practices in curing and
storing have made available more
scientific knowledge than ever be-
fore. Earlier cutting, artificial dry
ing and chopping have brought bet
ter results in many cases, but have
also introduced new dangers.
Artificial drying Of early cut crops
offers possibilities Of preserving the
green color, high vitamin content,
and saving the tender leaves. Ma
ture hay skaters more readily from
field handling. Artificial drying gen.
orally requires large equipment
which may be too costly for the av-
erage farmer. A portable drier op-
|erated by ring of farmers or a
custom operated drier are solutions
suggested.
Chopped hay offers the advan-
tages of compact storage, easy ham
ding in the operations Of feeding,
mixing and rationing, and results in
more complete consumption. This
may be particularly noticeable in
the feeding Of coarse-stemned hay.
Hay chopping may be especially de-
sirable when hay prices are high.
| Chopping when associated with
artificial drying should create no
problem in heating, but care must
be taken not to overload NOW floors
built only for the storage of loose
hay. Chopped hay will occupy about
one-haf the space required for loose
HAY.
Chopping field dry hay increases
the possibilities of loss from shatter-
ling because the hay must be as
dry as for loose storage, or drier.
Chopped hay packs very closely and
lis likely to heat excessively if it
contains more than Is to 20 per cent
Of moisture. The farmer must judge
the moisture content by twisting a
wisp of hay and noting stem mois-
ture and SCATTERING.
Spontaneous combustion, cause Of
many barn fires, should be prevent
ed as far as possible by never al
lowing the hay to reach high tenn
peratures. Temperatures of 120 to
125 degrees Fahrenheit are not dan
gerous but may cause some loss Of
color and vitamin A.

Hard-Bitten Females.

FIGURING about over certain
i Western states where open gam.
bling either is by law permitted, or
by custom winked at, I noticed this:
Generally speaking, the feminine
patrons are the steadiest drinkers,
the most persistent gamesters, the
most reckless betters of all. And
frequently their manners are the
rudest and their faces the grimmest
determined seemingly to disavow
the theory that their sex is the
gentler sex.
On the other hand, the men pa
trons-descended, many of them,
from old gun fighters, old prospec-
tors, old path-fnders-grow increas-
ingly docile and subdued. absorbing
less than their share of the hard
liquor-maybe because they fear
there won't be enough left for
mama and the girls-and risking
their dimes where the gallant ladies
plunge with dollars.

modern professional from the pro-
lection of the sidelines, gets to long

fact, almost did, a woman was only
