American designers.

Cure Hay Before Baling
Hay that is baled from the windrow,
still go through a natural sweat and
in most cases will, when going through
pany. Every year a number of farm-
ers who are over-anxious to dispose of
their hay, send in freshly baled hay
and when they get the returns for it,
are disappointed.
Hay should be put In a stack or
mow until it has gone through the
sweat. After that it can be safely
baled and marketed and will be in
good condition.—Prairie Farmer.
