IYpurBlood Needsj EIao CURE HAY WELL BEFORE BALING Can Be Kept indefinitely Without Danger of Heating If Prop erly Treated. AIR CIRCULATION IS NEEDED Crosswise Method of "Cording" Pro vents Air Spaces From Being Cov ered and Insures Ventilation Through Pile. (Prepared 5y the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Baled hay that has been thoroughly cured in the ba-n or stack before bal ing can be stored Indefinitely without danger of heating, say specialists. It may be plied so that the bales fit very closely together. Hay baled from the windrow and cock, however, unless very well cured. is likely to heat more or less in storage. Sometimes the heat ing becomes so intense that the hay becomes severely damaged or even un marketable. Lessen Danger of Heating. Damage from heating may be greatly lessened lad sometimes entirely obvi ated by storing the balovs on edge, al lowing an inch or two of air space be tween them. When bales are piled fiat wise the air is excluded and h, dting is likely to occur, whereas leavii. an air space tends to prevent heating by inducing cirenlation, which cools the hay. The first layer of bales placed in a barn should be placed on edge, and the second and every alternate layer should be placed on edge and crosswise. This crosswise method, or "cording," prevents any of the air spaces in the tier from being entirely covered and insures ventilation through the entire pile. The heated air works up around the edges of the bales and the cooler air enters from the sides and bottom. Methods of Storing. When bales that have been laid flat on their sides begin to heat it becomes necessiary to move the hales and pile them in the manner just deserlhed. If there are any indleations of heating when the hay is put into the harn, or if the hay grower has any doubt about the liay keeping, it is best to pile the hales crosswise on edge. rather than take any isk, even though this mlethod of storing wastes more or less stor age space. Cases are on record in whlih lay growers, usually beginners, have haled hay from the windrow and cock, and because it spoiled in the mow, owing to Imlproper storing, have become convinced that haling from the field was not a success, not realizing that the fault lay in the manner in which the iay was stored.

Hogs are economical when it comes to converting feed into mleat. Thley thus produce more flesh for a given quantity of feed than cattle or sheep1. Farmers cannot afford to buy meat if it is at all possible to raise hog. on the farm. And there are very few farms where hogs cannot be raised to advantage, at least enough for thle home meat supply, if pains are taken to providle grazing crops. This is a favorable time to start, fly preparing land and getting ready to sow crops for grazing farmers may take thought for tihe morrow. Bly beginning with breed sows it does not take long to raise enough hogs to make enough meat for the ordiary famnit:'. !~ut the feed should be avail able and the pasture prepared before a start is made.
