This method is used for making clover hay when it is desired to 
cure it quickly. The reason the cost is so high in this case is that 
the hay is tedded twice. The rake is not used and the loader takes 
up the hay from the swath. The one objection to this labor arrange- 
ment is that one man remains at the barn all of the time to mow 
away the hay. When hay is taken from the swath, the teams on 
wagon will require a driver. If E went to the field, it would allow 
two men to load and one to drive. Taking up hay from the swath 
entails less strenuous work in loading than does taking from windrow.
