FARM NOTES
Curing HAY, —Tha old method of
cutting and caring for newly-cut hay
by hand required a longer time to
carefully cure the product than is now
requisite, By the use of the horse
scythe, spreader and rake, grass can be
cured quite as perfectly in one day as
iz formerly could in two days. 1f the
machine is not started in the morning
ll the dew has dried off, and the
tedder is kept at work well up behind
the mower, there is no difficulty mn
curing hay enough to haul in the same
day it iscut, if the grass is mature and
the weather favorable, Cut grass that
is fully exposed to the sun and air for
two hours will have little moisture left
in it. It is not necessary to wait till
the whole field is as crisp and dry as
before beginning to haul to the

row, weed and grass system,

experience 1 learned be tter, “and now I
row over 200 bushels of (ine berries
to the acre. My plan is to prepare oy
ground at first by plowing subso g
and manuring until it is well pulver-
ized to 8 depth of one fool. Then 1
work off the ground each way in rows,
three feet apart, which gives me
acre 4.840 hills. I set two plants In
each hill, or 0.680 plants to an acre.
Then I cultivate both ways with a cul-
tivator, keeping out all weeds and grass
and keeping all runners cut off until
about the Indie of August. By this
plan I get double returns over the old
system and with little if any increased
labor. If you have never tried
