How to Save Hay and Sweet

are my mouoes ana snouiu oe
the practice of all of ug.
Now is hay lime with me. I
have already cut and housed one
cutting where 1 had oats. I am
picking seed peas in my corn,
gathering corn, cutting hav and
stacking it. 1 sowed oa's about
two bushels to the acre, the last
week in December, and the first
week in January. I cut an 1
baled the oats from one acre in
one patch which weighed 2,175
pounds. 1 cut another acre in
another patch, which weighed
1,575 pounds, thus giving me
about an average ol 1,875 p >unds
per acre.
I used no fertilizer except
about S5 pounds nitrate of sod ?
per acre. I applied it broadcast
in March when the oats began
to spread just before they began
to run up. 1 cut oats last week
in May, when about half ripe.
Broke l. nl about tenth of June
with single horse turn plows,
droDiiini' neas in evprv nt.lipr
furrow one-halt bushel to acre;
cut peas about last week in August,
getting about one thous
anu pounds to the acre; intend
to cut again in October, which
will give something like a ton of
hay to the acre from the two
cuttings with no fertilizers except
the tiiira'o of Foda applied
to ttie oats in Ma ch
1 usually plant my corn in
water furrow alter the land has
been thoroughly broken and put
from one to two hundred pounds
of guano (10-3-3) to acre in
drill on top head of the second
plowing. 1 try to lay by between
the middle and last ol
June, planting peas in diill between
tho stalks of corn and a
row in middle of the corn rows.
1 pick peas, gather corn and cut
ai! the hay 1 can in September
aul Oc'ober.
Some people seem to think
weevils will ruin their corn il
gathered soon, but this is a mistaken
idea. It is amusing to
me to read so many different
lde^s about weevils in c >rn. 1:
bre::k my corn and put in heaps
about every eight or ten rows j
civl cut hay around the heaps, |
leaving (lie corn in field till 11
rains, then 1 haul and put in
ban. I don't care how wet and
