Saving Hay From Rain
DAD weather for haymaking is a phrase which need no longer be heard if the claims put forward for the tripod.4system are borne out in practice. This method, which is described in "The Parmer and Stock-Breeder," an English publication, obviates the need for allowing the cut grass to lie on the ground till the sun has dried it or, unhappily, the rain -soaks it. The grass as it is cut: is piled in miniature ricks built over wooden tripods, an opening being' left and tho centre of the ricklef left hollow to permit free circulation id' air. It is said that any rain that may fall merely slides off the pile as from a finished hayrick.
