One peck of salt to each load of hay is a liberal quantity to make use of. If hay will not settle down upon Itself when stored it is over-dry. An experienced haymaker can easily tell when hay is ready for storing by the way in which it handles when being pitched with the fork, it should be borne in mind, however, that as various kinds of hay differ much in weisht, no little experience is required to make certain by this method that hay Is ready for being stored. Another plan Is therefore submitted which Is simpler. It consists In taking a small quantity of the hay In one hand and twisting It around a number of times with the other. If no Indications of moisture appear the hay may be regarded as ready for storing. But if the hay thus twisted is easily broken asunder, it is then over-dry. The plan of cutting hay down and allowing it to lie where it fell, exposed to the sunlight until faded and crisp, cannot be too severely condemned
