a aad MAKING HAY When cattlemen first moved in to the vast grasslands east of the mountains they found the meadow grass growing head high to a horse and saw no end to the waving plains. They ranged their -cattle from California to Canada, moving on when the grass got too short or the weather too cold. As more and more people moved into the area and settlers began fencing off the range, the great herds dwindled and the remaining cattlemen had to find another way to feed their stock year round. The obvious answer was to make hay from the wild grass. In the late 1800s that was a hot, dusty and miserable job. Men with pitchforks followed behind the horse-drawn mower and raked the grass into bundles so it could cure. In later years when a horse-drawn rake took over this manual job, men still had to pitchfork the hay into a’ wagon to be hauled to the stack. Stacking a hay stack was a science and took -experience. The forage had to be carefully stacked in layers leaving room so enough air could circulate to stop molding or rotting in wet weather. They also had to be stacked flat so the whole pile wouldn’t fall down. ° It was a risky business. Lots of times rattlesnakes would fall asleep in the fields and be picked up with the hay and carried to ~ the stack. Sometimes the cable on the stacker would break, whipping into an unwary hayhand or sending the huge wooden-tined fork crashing down. The yield was only about one and a half tons to the acre and many crops were ruined by an Want ads Pay PUBLIC NOTICE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF NEVADAEXCERPT BOARD .

Whenever black clouds threatened a change in the weather, men and horses worked until all hours to get the hay in. In the early 1900s a monstrous stationery baler made its way west. It was set up near the hay stack and with noisy churning and grinding, compressed the grass into bales. They had to be wired by hand and two men stood behind the machine to catch the bales as they came through. Baling hay was usually custom work, done by a crew of twelve to fifteen men who moved from ranch to ranch.
