Cutting and Curing ABOUT THE STATE
of Clover for Hay
Clover for hay sould bo rut as soon
;is the first blossoms begin to turn
brown. Tlio mower should be starto.I
in the evening before the dew lias fallen or in the forenoon aa soon as the
dew is off; and it is liot wise to cut
down too much at one time, says Extension Bulletin -17, by Andrew Boss
and A. C. Amy, of tlie College of Agriculture, University of Minnesota.
Clover hay should be cured in the
shade, and not exposed to the hot sun
unless it is frequently turned. The
sun quickly dries the thin leaves, causing them to become brittle and easily
lost. The leaves are the most valuable
part of the hay. The drying of the
leaves also closes the natural channel
