I will give you our methoc j which we have used for tifteei i P I* ' years or more, with perfect saiis O I c faction in saving a good quality of hay without serious losses ? ' Cow pea vines make the best haj ^ when cut at the time it is 11 " bloom and just a few ripe or ful ) fl - I ' pods on the vines, and properl\ sp' cured, but it is more difficult t< cure at that time than later. Oui ' ' practice is to wait until there art j a pood many dry pods on tin vines. We start the mower aUei n" the dew is elf in the morning am "t" run it until noon, or a little later r,<^ 1 sometimes. The vines are allowe? in*,!o lie on the ground, provide! ,u* there are no indications whatevei a^" j of rain. The next morning, atte the dew is pone, they are tuitiei ^"r over or raked into windrows witl to a hay rake. In the afternoon w< 'e*!put them in cocks about live o Pp* | <?ix feet high and let them remaii t e without any further attention un u" less there shall be strong indica tions of rain, in which case w n cover each cock with what wi !re call a hay cap. This is made o 111" ordinarv seconds, sheetings o I * killings, whice costs six or sevei i ^ ' >ei cent" a yard. Each cap is six fee tl? square with a rough eyelet hoi WtirL'oH 111 ou/tU ?\or If * ' I ? w. vnvu \j\/k lici 1 t " : stretched tightly over the cocl and tied down by mean* of i piece of twine or a whisp of ha; near the bottom of the cock of Thus protected, the hay wil he stand until it is ready for tin illy barn, which will be known b; to twisting any one of the larg m. stems between the thumb am lan finger. If no moisture exudes o be becomes visible, the hay can b an-1 carried to the barn and storet ,ur j away, or put into a large smcl res and covered with a few pound of I of straw or grass hay.
