If the weather is dry and warm, shake out with the 

 tedder {see III. 77) soon after it is cut, and rake it 

 into wind-rows with a horse rake (///. 82). If the 

 weather is favorable timothy hay may be sufficiently 

 dry the day it is cut to be taken into the barn. It 

 is loaded on the waggon either with forks or with a 

 hay loader. See III. 8j. In conjunction with the 

 hay loader is the side delivery rake. 



These are two great labor-saving implements for 

 handling hay. The rake turns the hay and leaves 

 it loose to dry out and in the best shape for the 

 loader to handle it.
