Baling Hay From Field
Found to Be Good Plan
Baling clover and alfalfa hay direct-
ly from the meadows tins been a satis-
factory practice t'or the last 15 years
on the larrn of Charles Ackerman of
Champaign county, Ohio, says the Ohio
Farmer. Last year he handled 1(50
tons of alfalfa and 1X0 tons of little
red clover hay in this fashion and
says it lias been the choii-ost grade.
In baling alfalfa from the held di-
rectly he emphasizes curing the hay
more than when it is put in the barn.
Baling hay green will result in heat-
ing anil spoiling in a short time, lie
allows the alfalfa to get wilted well,
usually in half a day after it is nurwedg
and then starts the side delivery rake
and allows it to cure in the windrows.
This air cures tl faster than when it
Is lying in the swath and preserves
the green color and furthermore saves
the leaves. After the hay is cured to
a point where it would do to put in
the barn, he shocks it and allows it
to stand another day. when it is ready j
for the press. Curing in tl“^ shock I
takes more time but with a large acre- I
age this is necessary In preference to i
curing entirely in the windrow and bal- ‘
heartily Ing from the windrow.

The best index of the state of business confidence at
any time is the values which are placed upon stocks and
bonds by the buyers and sellers on the New York Stock
Exchange. That is not to say that the prices at which
stocks sell always reflect the actual values behind them.
What they do reflect definitely, however, is the belief of
the business community as to whether business is improv-
ing, so that the stocks which they buy will have a higher'
value, or whether it is falling off, in which case they sell
their stocks, fearing that they will diminish in value.
Up to the end of February in this year there had been
11 consecutive calendar months of advancing prices of se-
icurities on the nation’s Stock Exchanges. Since the rise
began, in March lasf year, the average price of 50 repre-
sentative stocks moved upward from $77.92 to $119.21 a
share. Three years ago every bank in the United States
was closed. Since that time the average increase in the
~ price of stocks has been 136 per cent J
last year on all of the registered national security
■exchanges 661 million shares of stocks changed hands.
It is foolish to regard these stock transactions as pure
gambling. A fair percentange of stock trading is done
by speculators, hut the vast majority of these transact-
ions are purchases by investors of dividend-paying sec-
urities, which enable them to earn more than bank inter-
est on their surplus funds. They buy stocks and bonds
rather than real estate because of the existence of the
stock exchanges, providing an open market in which any
listed security can always be sold immediately at a price.
The very best evidence of genuine business recovery,
and that the world of business believes in it, is the evi-
dence provided by the record book of the stock exchanges
during the past 11 months.
Two fire alarms were
given last month. Ix)ok

the best quality, is cut while in bloom
or not later than when the seed .Is in
the soft dough stage. It may lie cut at
any time when it is tall enough to make i
a worthwhile crop.
High prices have i-.iused much of the ,

to restrain the army’s activities in Manchuria and Mon-

militai'y caste. The leaders of the nioveninet regard
themselves as patriots bent on restoring the ancient sys-
tem.
One authentic tale of true heroism comes over the
cables. The assassins were reported.to have killed the
premier uf Japan, Keisuke Okada. Three days later
Premier Okada turned up, alive and unharmed. The
man whom the rebels had killed at his house was his
brother-in-law and secretary, Col. ‘ Denzo Matsuo who

Good Coffee Is Worth the Money
You buy good coHee to get the full

captured o ily by making the coffee prop-
erly, and one requirement is the right
amount of HI AT.
The heating element in an electric per-
colator or electric coffee - maker is de-
signed to provide the exact amount of
Teat needed to bring out the full flavor of
good coffee—and none of the bitterness
that too much heat draws out of the
