clover, although alfalfa was
being tried on a small scale.
Hay harvest consisted of
mowing with a two-horse
mowing machine with a five
of six foot cutter bar and
raking into rows with a
dump rake when dry. Then it
was piled into small heaps
and loaded onto the wagon
with long handled pitch
forks.
This method left con
siderable hay on the ground.
This excess was raked
again.
I’ll never forget the first
time I did this “second
raking” procedure. It was
sometime during World War
I, shortly after I had started
going to school, I drove a
Reupholstery
ASTON - Would you like to
learn to reupholster? You
may have a chair that has a
good frame and springs but
has a worn cover. Once
you’ve priced having it done
professionally, you may
decide that this would be a
skill you would like to leam.
To help with this problem, a
reupholstery workshop in
which you will actually
reupholster a chair has been
planned by the Penn State
Extension Service in the
Second Presbyterian
Church, Baldwin Run Drive
and Concord Road, Aston.
Dates are May 17, 30, 31,

very quiet horse to the dump
rake, and instead of dum
ping the hay m rows as I
should have, I just dumped it
every time it every time it
got full. The result was that
the piles of hay were scat
tered all over the field and it
took much longer to load. It
took a long time for me to
live that blunder down.
One of the earliest
methods of curing alfalfa
was to rake it when it was
partially dry and to put it in
small piles. Then it was
covered with lightweight
white canvas about four or
five feet square, weighted on
each corner, and left for
several days to dry. One day

much to be desired, phoned
to inform us that a large
flock of sheep were grazing
in our alfalfa field.
In the early Twenties the
side rake and hay loader
came into use on the farm.
The hay loader was attached
to the rear of the wagon, and
anyone who has ever worked
with one knows that unless
they are driven very slowly,
the hay will come up faster
than two men on the wagon
can handle it.
On hilly fields, we used a
heavy steel wheeled tractor
to pull the wagon because it
was slower and steadier than
a team. On level fields it was
usually my job as a teenager
to sit in the cab of those splay

bed wagons and drive the
team. One day we had a field
of hay ready to load and,
since it looked like it might
ram at any time, my father
said he would drive the hay
wagon and I was to drive the
side delivery rake just ahead
of him so there wouldn’t be
any extra hay to rake up
when the rain came. When
the wagon was half loaded,
the cab was completely
covered with hay and rain
was getting closer.
I noticed the wagon was
going faster as the two men
on the loader were yelling,
“Go slower, we can’t handle
this hay!” I looked back and
saw that although my father
was yelling “Whoa, Whoa”
in a loud voice for the benefit
of the men who couldn’t see
him, at the same time he was
kicking the mules to load as
much hay as possible before
the rain came.
