A new method of keeping hay
without curing it in the sun has
been worked out in Switzerland
The newly mowed hay is stored
on metal sheets in sheets in silos
of 400 feet capacity. Another
metal sheet closes the' top of
the silo and the two sheets are
connected in an electric circuit
so an alternating current of
from 200 to 500 volts is passed
thru the grass between them
This enables the grass to be
preserved in its natural state
until required. It can be cut &
stored irrespective of weather
conditions and it contains twice
the nutriment of an equal quan
tity of hay. Exchange.
