Hints for the Hay Field From an American Agriculturist
Practical guidance on haymaking. Mow promptly, cut when blossoms fade, dew is gone, and seed not formed. Rake into three hundred pound cocks, cover with hay caps if rain threatens, cure in cocks up to a week. Draw to barn only when ready, uncover in sequence, store under a tight roof, top-dress with compost or artificial fertilizer, and consider buying neighbor’s hay. Dry caps, bind and store away from mice.
