Minnesota cautions that after the hay
is cut, it should be moved into the barn,
stack or bale as soon as it is dry enough
to put up. Otherwise it will lose its
milk-producing ability, won't taste as
good and leaf shatter will increase.
There is twice as much nourish-
ment in the leafy part of hay as there
is in the stems, pound for pound.
Good legume hay should be 500
leaves, by weight.
To prevent leaf loss, avoid over
drying and handle the hay as little as
possible. Minnesota says small wind

3 Points Make Quality

Minnesota lists three cardinal points
sor insuring that your hay is chock
full of actual food value. These points
are ~ cut hay early; e. put it up
quickly; and 81 save the leaves.
Rich protein and high palatability
are the milk making factors found in
high quality hay. The protein content
of hay drops rapidly soon. after the
bloom forms. 1t may increase in ton
mage, but that gain is Offset by the
drop in feeding value.
Your most important job, therefore,
is to cut your hay at as nearly the
right time as possible to provide a
good yield and yet before protein

Use Quality Yardstick When
You Put Up Hay This Summer

begins to decline. This means cutting
at the proper bloom stage.
Alfalfa should be cut at one-tenth
to ne-quarter bloom stage; red clover
at one-half bloom stage; sweet clover
when the buds first show or earlier.
Cut soybeans when the pods are well
filed but before the lower leaves turn
yellow, and grasses as soon as headed.
Cut your hay at these stages and
you'll make sure that your cows are
getting the maximum amount ofnutri-
ent. They'll produce more milk and
maintain better physical condition.
