It should be put in small shocks when well wilted, or stacked around small vertical poles, the hay resting on cross pieces nailed to the poles or be piled on skeleton pyramidal frames, where the air can penetrate and dry it. Peanuts are plowed out by means of a plow with the mold board removed or a potato digger, which Fig. 193. Alfalfa curing in shocks and in windrows. (Ohio) lifts them out of the ground. The plants are piled around vertical poles with the nuts on the inside. (Fig. 192). These may stand some weeks and then be stored loose, or threshed, and the vines baled. Lespedeza hay, alfalfa hay, and all those hays which are fine, or of medium fineness can be handled with modern hay-making ma- chinery. The coarse hays can seldom be handled in this way and therefore the labor and expense of harvesting is greater than for the fine hays.
