This is the season of the year when farmers are sending their hay to the city markets. In the face of a marvelous increase in motor-propelled vehicles which eat only gasoline, it is worthy of note that the production and consumption of hay in the United States has Increased steadily year by year, reaching its highest point in history in 1919. This year's yield will be only slightly less, At the same time, the marketing of hay has become a more particular un- dertaking. Formerly mnearly all hay was sold within 30 miles of the place where it was grown. Now a large part of it is shipped by rail and some ex- ported. Two Kinds of Markets Market hay may be divided Into two general classes: City market hay and local, or country, market bay. The line of distinction between the two classes s not always distinctly drawn, but it may be sald that .the demand in re- gard to quality and better grades is more rigid in the city than on the local market. It requires a better quality of hay to grade as No. 1 on' the city market than on the local market. Compared with marketing hay In the city, disposing of it in the country Is a comparatively simple matter. On the local market the producer usually comes in direct contact with the con- sumer and hay is not sold according to its officlal grade but on its merit. It 18 desighated as “choice,” “good. bright hay,” “fair,” “medium,” etc. This in- cludes all kinds of hay, and hence there IS no necessity for the producer to:know the cominercial grudes. When hay 18 sfifpped (0 the clty mnrket, hm\cver, ilm grade civen by the nhlpper s *of the utiiost impor- tance. . The prices of the different grades ‘of hay depend, in years of mormal yiéld, on the demand of clty consuiners, who may be dliided into three general clasges according to the kind of hay they ‘feed. In the first class are the drivers of fancy driving and saddle horses, who feed the high- est quality hay. Such horses must be kept in the best condition, and as No. 1 hay -is very palatable and ugrees with the horses, It Is used to furn the required bulk of the ration ratl than the quality. of nutritive sub- stances it contains. High-grade hay always finds a ready sale, for the de- mand usmally exceeds tne supply, The second class of consumers avold et s St ekl it Vi P Rl 2 o b B P o J NG 90 oL s i e e G 3 B e 5, Invention of Electric Light. ’ The credit for the basic dlsmver]‘ of the etectric light Is probably due to | Sir Humphry Davy, who In 1810 ob- | served the electric arc and produced incandescence of a fine platinum wire | in connection with his experiments | with & 2,000-cell battery.

In the eastern part of the United States No. 1 and No. 2 timothy are fed in preference to the other grades and are cheaper. Consumers of this kind are beginning to use ‘mixed (timothy and clover hay) and legume hay, especlally alfalfa, in preference to unmixed grass hay. The third cluss feed the lower grades, such as No. 3 timothy and ‘“no grade.” This hay is fed by many horse owners because It is cheap, and by owners of transient and sale stables who want something to fill up the horses and are not greatly concerned with the nutritive quality of the feed. Esperienced horse owners know that when poor hay is fed it requires .a larger grain ration than where better grade hay h used. The quantity of poor hay In ‘the market is much grent- | er than that of good ay. Hay Should Be Well Biled. Most hay for city market nowadays 1s baled, and each year there is con- siderable loss in marketing hay on ac- count of improper baling. The rules by which market hay is graded requ:re | that it be “sound.and well baled. Properly baled hay consists of baies of uniform size, having straight edges, square ends, the proper number of tvires accurately placed, and baled in such'a manger gs to stand hdndling and shipping well. Eac¢h bhle should contain only one grade of hay, com- posed of enough folds to be torn apart easily when the wires are removed. The size and welght of the beles are important in most markets. The pro- ducet should know the demands of the market to which his hay is to be shipped. Usually & man swps his hay into one general market where the size and weight of bale is uniform. The small bale, up to 100 pounds, 18 much in demand because ene-man cam- |- load, unload, and dellver It. .This size is popular for handling where ship- ments are by river boat in the South. For southern retall trade a bale not more than 70 pounds—approximately 30 to the ton—Is popular. In several eastern markets the large upright bale welghing from 200 to 225 pounds 1s preferred. The producer should select his best hay for the city markets, grade it carefully, bale it according fo the market, and avold shipping more than one class of hay In the same car. Discriminating. J.
