SIMILAR TO ORDINARY RACK Protection Afforded From Moisture In Ground and Canvas Cover Pre vents Injury From Rain—Con siderable Labor Is Saved. . <Prepared by the United States Depart- j ' ment of Agriculture.) A new method of curing hay nomlcally and effectively, even urn unfavorable weather conditions, Is „ made possible by the use of hay trucks, which are simple, cheaply constructed labor-sarving ^devices similar to ordlr nary hay racks.—A hay truck consists Of a frflme t in minted nn two low wheels. A number of them are placed about the field, and are used to stack the partly cured hay on. The hay is thus protected from moisture in the ground, and a canvas cover prevents Injury from rain. When the hay is to be hauled to the barn or baler no reload ing la necessary, for the team can be Plants Need Less Molajtur# Than Corn a nd in Many Sections Will Produce Larger Yield of For age—Desirable Variety.

Sorghums neetL less moisture than and in many sections will pro- Uce a larger yield of forage per acre. When properly made. Into silage they supply a succulent fifed which has a high feeding value. - Either the saccha rine (sweet)' or the nonsnccharine (nonsweet) ivarletles are used. Of the former the orange and amber va rieties are the tnost desirable vari eties and of the Tatter kafirrinno, and feterlta are common varieties.

A hay truck 12 feet long by 7 feet wide will hold about 1.300 to 2/M10 pounds of cured hay. It consists of a rack which rests no an A shaped frame.

At the top of each standard s notch Is cut to receive a 2 hy 4 Inch ridge pole that supports the canvas covering and keeps It fmtu lying tint on the hay. thus permitting the air to circulate freely at the top. The truck Is movisl by means of a 2-horse team and a 2-wheel runnhig gear, similar to the front running gears of a low-wheel ed wagon.

This was to say, if it is with the greatest difficulty that the righteous are saved, the chances of the ungodly are very few. We have also the teaching of the Lord as^to some who will come before him at the great day of Judg ment and say, “We have eaten and drunk In thy presence and In thy name done many wonderful works," but_he will say, “I never knew you.” Taking these conditions together, there Is more than an Intimation that an acre Last year corn whflmitol- ra iH : f5mng-aEorrcrthrc<>nam<lIir-f? , lmi’u/T nlnvAt* mn/ln Afi lviioholo nn n/»*o _ . •• « _ _ i_ _ m \ * ** l*Ix- *’v •*• l* * IAI lcrj • lowed clover made 40 bushels an acre and cfotton 1,600 pounds an acre.
