the gantry country gen t man who rho has had fifty years esperi erice aca in i various modes of f making hay lay advocates baling it as both economical and ind co convenient ile considers that there avast vast amount of unnecessary labor and ad cost in making hay stacks stack s twenty feet high as done arith machine pitchers hor bor hori i hoisting forks rakes carriers rie and d pulleys and d also with hay bay loaders he ile says I 1 am of tho the opinion that four ton tacks the hay y drawn around them rith a horse rake and the stacks protected with waterproof caps form an economical method of stacking hay for lalis baling as one man can make a tareo or four ton stark stack while a boy draws the loose aly h ay iy to it with a horse rake leaving it on any side convenient for pitch yf in on the stack if it tho weather is tb threatening a i small stack can be b made in an hour flour or two without wagons or costly machinery and if the hay is a ettle damp it will sweat in fit the small tracks without material damage daniago and get ready for baling by jy stacking in small stacks with few men and little machinery except horse rakes much drawing and time are gaved saved as experience taught me long liTo 80 litland and tho baling machine can bo be moved from one small stack to another whilo a n io load of hay could 1 h drawn anil and pitched pit clied on a large stack again if rain ran threatens a small stack can be quickly quick ay made or rounded up and scored secured wit with it a waterproof cap without damage hay flay can probably be in the field as suggested at less than half balf the cost of putting in large stacks with costly machinery machi machinery and the barns or bay lofts will contain tareo or fo four foar ar times as much hay tiny in bales balem

quality far better than when loose if other work is pressing he bay hay can remain in small stacks till light ht frosts occur when tho baling can P i done without hindering plowing or I 1 iny ay iy
