 left without being turned or touched, till it 

 is quite dry, and then it may be removed 

 into the hay-loft; and by this method nei-

 will be loft. Bad weather will not hurt hay 

 which has been thus managed ; rain will not 

 continue upon it, and the air will dry it more 

 readily and more equally than upon the earth.

 made into dry fodder in the fame manner. 

 The crop of hay being gathered in, the flakes 

 may be taken out of the ground \ and, if pre- 

 ferved with care, they may be ufed for the 

 fame purpofe many years fuccefllvely.
