MAKING ALFALFA HAT
REQUIRES EXACT METH-
ODS OF HAHDLMG
Feeding Value of This Excellent
Forage Product Is Greatly Din
inished by Improper Treatment
at Haying Time—Extra Cutting
Reduces Return in Tonnage.
Valuable as alfalfa is. it has its
drawbacks. It i.s difficult to cs
tahlish in some parts of the conn
try. especially in the eastern
States. It requires careful meth
mis of handling. It is no crop foi
the careless farmer, but is a very
profitable one for the farmer who
will take tin- trouble to learn how
to handle it from the seeding to
the feeding. One of the important
things to learn is just how to
make hay. aceordiug to spccia
lists of the I uited States Depart
iiM-nf of Agriculture
Alfalfa does not cure at all
readily. and good quality hay
hard to get. Especially is this
true of the tii-st cutting, which
comes when heavy rains are apt
to interfere with its proper curing
The bright green hay so common
in the irrigated sections is almost
never seen in tin- humid region-
due to injury from ram.
Time of Cutting
Mor>t farmers are prone to cut
their alfalfa too early. Tin-y arc
anxious to get more • lifting*
thereby thinking to get a bigg.-r
crop. The fact is the extra ■ ur
ting is frequently mad'- at 'Tn
P*-um- of total tonnage. Th<- r«-«|
test of till size of the season s cr<>ji
is total tonnage rather than uum-
her of cuttings. Where four cu*
tnigs are possible, three usually
are more desirable and more pr<-
fitable. More hay is actually
made for the season, and tie-
plants are left in better conditio !
for the winter.
The first growth usually is rank
sometimes causing the rarmcrs *•>
think it should be eut before -t
really is ready. The stage 'if
growth is the indication for en*
ting rather than the size ' f •
plants. The general rub- i« to < i?

Methods of Harvesting
Methods of making alfalfa I . y
vary in different sections of ti•
country . but the basic prim p'- *
are the same The motto r
where is Cure alfalfa hat
quickly, with as little hamP'ug
and exposure to the weather ,i*
possible. " Rapid curing hold- tie-

Knocks fewer of them off Tin-
important, because the leaves aie
the most nutritious part of tl
plant.
In tile W -*t where there IS little

then cocked or is stacked or bal- !

as the hay is sufficient!} -nr. •!.
The raking commences « soon as
the leaves are wilted, but win ri

moisture can no longer be twi-tid
out of a wisp of the hay
In fhe hum id sections of t?).
country the process of curing the
hsy is mucl) more difficult. The
rutting frequently must I*- delay-
ed srversi days on account of ba«l
weather. The operations and
methods are practically the same
sm in the dry sections, except that
more time is required. Hsy caps
and stack covers may prove neces-
sary.
High moisture content some,
times makes it desirable to stack
alfalfa hay instead of putting !t
true of the first cutting. Build
stacks carefully ami iu a shsp-
that will expose as little of th«
h«\ to the weather as possible.

Sudan grass, millet or some other
long grass that will make a good
