MEASURING
The following'simple an11 practical
hints regarding the measuring of hay.
are worth noting, and filing:
Tons of Hay In the Mow.
To find the number of tons or hay
ia a mow multiply, the length by the

This will give the number of cubic

number will be the answer iii tons.

provide ample covering when the,
seeding is done. Late in August or
early iu' September narrow stripe
Should, be, seeded across the field at
intervals, these are for the purpose
of attracting any Hessian flies that
may be Present and offering an in-
ducement for egg laying. Between
