BUSINESS BITS. 
Fly time is with us again, and no small 
expenditure will bring back so large a 
profit as a few dollars invested in some of 
the good fly preparations to make the 
cows comfortable and happy. The result 
will show in the milk pail. Several of 
these preparations are advertised in this 
issue—any of them will do the work. 
The attention of the farmer about to 
purchase a baling press is called to “The 
Gem.’’ This baling press fs the result of 
years of careful study and numerous ex¬ 
periments. It has been clearly demon¬ 
strated to fulfill every requirement and 
withstand every test needful to establish 
it a strictly first-class and up-to-date ma¬ 
chine. “The Gem” full circle steel baler 
is manufactured by George Ertel Co., 
Quincy, Ill., one of the oldest and largest 
baling press manufacturing concerns In 
the United States. A very valuable and 
interesting book for farmers, illustrated 
and full of information, is sent free upon 
request by George Ertel Co., Quincy, Ill. 
The Ellington Mfg. Co., Quincy, 111., is 
the latest gasoline engine manufacturer 
to bid for the trade of R. N.-Y. readers. 
To all those looking for a power for the 
Fall work we would advise writing the 
above company for full particulars. 
Some of our readers are asking us where 
they can buy fruit baskets. We are glad 
to recommend Coles & Co., 109 Warren 
St., New York, and South Side Mfg. Co., 
Petersburg, Va. Both are reliable houses, 
and .carry sufficient stock at all times to 
fill orders promptly. 
The Spangler low-down grain and fer¬ 
tilizer drill is standard. It has been in 
use for a long series of years, being im¬ 
proved from year to year as anything de¬ 
sirable has suggested itself, until now it 
would seem it leaves little to be desired. 
Force feed is employed, not only upon the 
fertilizer distributor, but upon the drilling 
and grass sowing as well, securing uniform 
work in each of its individual duties. 
Readers should write the Spangler Mfg. 
Co., York, Pa., for their catalogue and 
full information. 
Trouble With Alfalfa Hay. 
Bulletin No. 109, of the Manhattan 
(Kansas) Experiment Station, gives the 
details of several cases in which Alfalfa 
hay was destroyed by spontaneous com¬ 
bustion. In one instance the product of 
100 acres was left in the swath for three 
days; then put in windrows with a side- 
delivery rake and left for three days more. 
The top became dry, while the hay in the 
bottom was too damp for stacking. This 
was all put in one stack, and, with part 
of the second cutting, which was added 
later, made about 164 tons. The stack 
settled more than usual and became very 
hot. A little more than seven weeks after 
stacking fire was discovered, and the 
whole stack was at once consumed. In 
another case a stack of 150 tons cut in 
June burned in August. It settled badly 
and was evidently heating. Two or three 
days before fire broke out a boy went 
on top of the stack with a pole, which he 
forced down into the center. After going 
about three feet through the hay the pole 
dropped, the center being apparently en¬ 
tirely burned out. As this permitted the 
free entrance of air, flames immediately 
burst out, and no hay was saved. Other 
cases are named which differ only in small 
details. In every instance the trouble oc¬ 
curred with the first cutting, which is 
usually very heavy and has to be cut be¬ 
fore there is weather hot and dry enough 
to cure it well. The later cuttings are 
not so succulent, and the weather is usu¬ 
ally more favorable. At the Station the 
later cuttings are put in the barn, but 
the first crop stacked to avoid danger 
to the buildings. Alfalfa should be cut 
when not more than one-tenth of the 
plants have come into bloom. Thus the 
yield for the season will be greater and 
the hay of better quality. The leaves of 
Alfalfa contain more than three times as 
much protein as the stems. Hence all the 
leaves possible should be saved. The plan 
followed at the Kansas Station is to cut 
the Alfalfa in the morning after the dew 
is off; allow it to wilt, and then rake and 
put into long narrow cocks. The next 
morning after the ground is dry it is 
opened carefully, so as not to break off 
the leaves. In good weather the hay may 
be stacked in the afternoon, but it should 
be cured so that when a handful of the 
stems are tightly twisted no water can be 
squeezed out._ 
No other disease Is so fatal aa worms. Dr. D 
Jayne’s Tonic Vermifuge eradicates these pests, and 
is at the same a health-builder.—Adi'.
