FOR WEIGHING SWINE.


A staple But serviccable Device for Use
ON Farms.
A neighbor who has largely combined
stock raising with farming, frequently
buying stock and feeding for market,
employs cheap and convenient meth
cd of weighing small animals. At one
corner of small yard or pen into
which the animals may be driven an
inclined plane is constructed for the
purpose of loading them into wagons
This inclined plane is not Immediately
connected with the yard, a passage 4
feet wide and or feet long leading
up to it, as shown in the engraving.
In this level part of the passage is
placed the framed box or cage"
shown at Fig. /. Five feet long, 81
feet wide and feet high is found to be
q very satisfactory size for this cage, as
it will admit the largest hog or several
smaller animals. The construction OF
this cage is well shown In the engrav-
ing. The frame is made of oak or
other good timber not less than s
inches square. Three cross pieces be-
low support solid floor. Only two are
necessary above. These cross pieces,
above and below, are mortised into
the side frame N inch from the end,
so that a board nailed across the end
leaves an opening little more than an
inch wide, in which the sliding gate
may freely move up and down Such
a gate is made at each end Of the cage.
The upright bars of the gate are laid
in position and the cross bars fastened
to them afterward. making it impossi'

anced, the short arm being little the
heavier. II 1t Is not so, box of stone
placed on top Of that part of the lever
will make 1t right.
Now for the method of operation.
The gate of the cage next to the pen
Is raised, and 1t being several feet with
In narrow passage and in corner OF
the pen, there is no great difficulty in
driving an animal into it. The gate is
now closed and the cage with the
animal in 1t is lifted from the ground
by pulling down on the outer end of
the lever. For this purpose chain Is
attached, and when drawn down is
hung on stout iron pin driven into the
post. The lever is thus held in position
while the weighing is done. A plank
laid across the fence above the cage
serves as = platform for the weigher.
If 1t Is desired to put the animals
Into wagons after weighing, the gate
next the inclined plane is raised and
they are easily driven up.
The inclined plane is not,a necessary
attachment to the scales, rs each may
be used Independently Of the other, but
It will be found most convenient to
have them connected as described
The advantage claimed for this de-
vice is not that of general service as
scales for it can never take the place
Of good platform scales. But because
Of their great cost few farmers can af-
ford these, yet there is scarcely one
who has not occasion to use something
OF the kind just described. It's low cost
places it within the reach Of all, and
once in possession, it will be used much
more frequently than might be sup
posed.-S. P. Shull. in Rural New

BILE to remove the gate. The ends OF
the upright bars extend an inch or
more below the lower Cross bar and
enter the narrow opening at the bot
tom of the frame, thus holding tho
gate firmly in place. A stout latch on
the upper part of the frame and a heavy
staple in each cross bar of the gate
furnish means of locking the gate
down or holding it up. An iron rod,
terminating in hook at the top, Is
placed near each corner of the cage.
These extend down through the lower
frame, that they may carry the entire
weight when the cage is suspended
At the side of the narrow passage in
which this cage rests is large post, 10
feet high, notched at the top to receive
the lever. The short end of this lever
extending over the passage is necessa-
rily or feet long, while the longer
end should be about four times this
length, making the entire lever IS or 20
feet long. A piece Of good timber,
inches by 4, placed edge upward, will
be strong enough for this purpose. To
make 1t lighter without weakening, the
lower side Of the longer arm of the
lever is tapered off to the end, where 1t
need not be more than inches square.
Here it bears against another post, to
which it is confined by guard Of iron,
allowing vertical motion only. In the
short arm Of the lever, directly above
the center of the cage, large ring-bolt
is inserted. Attached to this Is large
steelyard, weighing up to 1000 or !, 200
pounds. The cage is hung to the steel
yard by four chains of equal length,
joined together above by large ring
and connecting below with the iron
rods of the cage. 1t is intended that
the two sides Of the lever, when the
cage is attached, should be nearly bal

About eighteen years ago the duty on
hides was removed. and since that time
our tanning and leather goods indus
tries have had the advantage of free
raw materials. The result has been TO
vindicate in the completest manner the
truth Of the Democratic position In the
present tariff agitation that free raw
materials win not only encourage and
develop our manufactures, but win en-
able them to put their products upon
the markets Of the world in successful
competition with their foreign rivals.
From the very time when hides were
upon the free list our leather industries
began TO expand, and our exports Of
sole leather and manufactures Of leather
have shown steady and gratifying
growth ever since. A lato number Of
"Bradstreet's" has the following facts
and figures on the sbjcct:
THE cost Of tanning hides is cheaper
here than in any other country. This
is due in large measure 70 the low cost
Of materials. We are therefore not only
able to tan all our domestic hides but
the major part of those produced In
Central and South America. We supply
European countries with about 5000, 900
worth Of leather each month. and our
exports have been increasing rapidly
