Baled hay is much more valuable as a feed than loose hay, even when the loose hay is well housed. Loose hay carries a great quantity of dust and often gives the farm animals a severe cough while baled hay does not. > Baled bay takes up about one-fifth as much room as loose hay and for' this reason the entire crop of baled hay r can usually be stored under cover I while loose hay must be exposed to (the weather in stocks and ricks. Baling breaks up ccarse hay so that the stock will eat it more readily and there is no waste in feeding baled hay. Baled hay is always ready for the market. It is convenient and satisfactory to handle in Qyery way. It can be hauled by team or shipped by Tailroad. Much of the tops and sides of stacks is spoiled by the weather. ? Loose h?y becomes dusty and musty. Baling hay keeps out the dust and preserves the hay. Baled hay retains much of the sweet hay odor that stock relish. There's a freshness and appetizine quality and feed value in baled hay that is never to be found in loose hay. We should bale our hay whether wp feed it Oi: our own farms or sell it. Of course, the ir.arket demand is for balec hay?and tor baled hay only and for this reason baling is the only way to be sure of having a market for it. The growing of hay and especially leguminous hay as cowpea, soy bean, tt? ill ir?_ peitnui ciuu ic?|;ruc4a v*ixi la^iuij increase the fertility of our soils, make the raising of good live stock profitable and add very much to the income on the farms. We can buy a one-horse pull-power hay press or we can buy a motor hay press. For the small farmer who bales his own hay, the one-horse pullpower hay press will prove very satisfactory and economical. With it he can bale his hay at the time most convenient and with a small amount of ^ help. For the farmer who grows larre quantities of hay or for the farmer who bales hay for his neighbors the two-horse pull-power or the motor hay press is necessary. / Of course, no man can tell the exact capacity of any hay press as this depends to a considerable extent upon the kind and quality of hay being baled, the skill of the operators, and the speed of the team. However under ordinary conditions a 14xlS twohorse pull-power hay press will bale about 8 tons per day, a 14x18 prpss operated with a 3-horse power engine will bale about 12 tons per day, a 1WU5 press witn a 4-norse Dower en-? gine about 14 tons per day, and a 17x22 press with 6-horse power engine 16 tons per day. We should purchase a hay press that has been designed for convenience. There should be a considerable distance between the sweep and the , feeding table. Both of these points should'be located at the extreme end of the press so that the baling chamber may be set well into the interior , of the shed or barn and ample room be had for the revolution of the sweep to be made outside the shed or barn. Another advantage of the arrangement of such a press is that the bale chamber may be set between two stacks and fed from both stacks without resetting the Dress. The close arrangement of feeding table and sweep win not allow sufficient space ror tne sweep to describe the circle necessary to operate the press. The reach bed should be very narrow and should not be more than four or five inches high to enable the horses to walk over it without the least trouble. When operating presses that have r high step over, the horses will. generally slow down, hesitate. <rERS' EMRTMEN^J be given careful and prompt attention |j EL WAGGONER f| SERVICE BUREAU B NG CHICAGO ft 1 5 ? - '? and ofter stum Die at tins point which i is annoying to the man, wearing on the horses, and slackens the speed of the press. The power construction of the press should be such that when the horses reach the stepover. they are pulling practically no load One stroke should be completed before the/ reach the step-over arid the load of th<=> next stroke should not begin until the low : narrow stepover lir-s b?en passed. The bale chamber should l:e very : low so that it is an rasy natter to ! reach across ^nd t': ?i: bale. This ' saves much tii.:s u: \ utuMe as, in t> 1 ing the bale, it is necrrsary to so ! around the bale chrrater to the op! posite side. The piers should be ennJ structed principally of steel and hi&ii i grade iron and should be strong and durable.. The two-horse pull-power press and the motor baling press should have a self-feed attachment as it increases the capacity of the press and at the same time reduces the work of feeding the press.

Humphrey, Arlington, Arizona, writes: "What property roes sorghum take from the ground that other grains need? I notice tlm wheat and oarley grown this spring on a plot of ground that had sorghum on it last summer was very poor, while on an adjoining plot of exactly j the same kind of soil the crop ^a? very good, making nearly twice as much grain to the acre. Can yor advise me what is the best method of kiling Johnson grass?" We have been unable to find ar. analysis of sorghum which shows thramount of the different plant food plpmpnts that, this cron takes from the Boil. Sorghum fodder is rather low in protein and high in crude fiber as compared with corn fodder. This would lead us to believe that sorghum is not as heavy a nitrogen feeder as the common corn. The amount of sugar which sorghum contains varies from two to twenty per cent of the juice, or from one and one-half to twelve percent of the cane. We note what you say regarding the growth of oats and wheat on a plot that produced sorghum last year. The decrease in yield may not have been due to any particular drain on the plant food elementcaused by the sorghum, but might have been the result of a lack o1; moisture. Sorghum is a heavy feeding plant and requires considevabl3 moisture, hence it may have taken sn mnrb mnist.nre from the soil that there was not a sufficient amount as compared with other fields to produce a good crop of wheat cr oats. We do not believe that you will have any trouble in cutting your corn with the ordinary ccrn binder, even though there are pea vines in the corn. The corn binder may be used very satisfactorily for cutting sorghum, also milo maize. Where these crops grow unusually high and heavy some of the mach - "? may not handle them as easily as t*. 1o corn because they are built for corn and not for heavy sorghum crops. The height o: - ?JiU gram tnat can oe tui wnu cut; *_uw.i-| nary grain binder varies some w?th| the binder. This machine will handle grain considerably higher than The o.dinarv run of grains. The most successful method of killing Johnson grass is to plow early in the fail and to harrow the land thoroughly, using a spring tooth harrow if possible, or a peg tooth if the spring tnot.h is not available. This will tear out a large number of the root stalks J which should be removed from thej field. A heavy seeding of sipallj grain or millet should now be; sown which will keep down the John-; son grass during the late fall and early j spring. This croo shou'd be cut fori hay, and the "and should next be plowed j and harrow? i r>s ^~~~"e. TA is well to; keep this 1*. *td under thorough culti-j vation durir.% the summer months, j not permitting any pf the Johnsoni gvrv=s to gro<v ro any extent. By f ill ' the field will be free from the Johnson ' i grass. The main objection to this is j the loss of one year's crop, but it has been found to be the most satisfactory way of killing out this grass. Close pasturing and considerable rami-iini? is verv Injurious to Johnson grass, and will practically kill it ou* in time. A thorough drainage of the land, combined with the above, wi)J be of material assistance in eradicating Johnson grass. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT.
