ally called the pole-stacker. 1t is sim
pie in construction, easily handled and
is not patented Although in use
but two or three years the pole has
become a universal fayorite and can be
seen in many fields, corrals and stock
yards.
The material necessary for the pole
stacker consists of two poles 20 and 30
feet, or longer, as desired, three pull
leys, two chains and two ropes. The
short pole, usually a dry red pine or bal
sam, is set about three feet in the
ground after Stats have been nailed on,
or pins driven in auger-holes every two
feet, which makes ladder for getting
up and down when necessary to fix the
top chain or drop the lifting-pole. A
short chain is fastened around the
standing-pole and left to drop about
two feet, where it hooks around the
stacker. This gives the pole plenty OF
play and enables the man on the stack
or wagon to swing it around at will.
The long pole is chained at the butt end
with chain which regulates the height
of the stack and holds the stacker in
place after being swung around for the
hay on the wagon. The pulleys, ropes
and fork are handled as with other
stackers.-Joel Shoemaker, in Farm and
Fireside.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

With the exception of geese, old fowls
Of any kind are improbable.
Plan to hatch as many chickens as
possible as early as possible.
Geese are at their best for breeding
after they are three years old.
A pullet is not matured until she is
year old, although she may lay.
Keep only young, prolific layers and
select from them to breed from.
In nearly all cases it will be best to
sell the late moulting hens now.
Too close in-breeding is one cause Of
barren eggs and weakly chickens.
Every breed of fowls has points of
merit of its own, and here is sufficient
variety to suit every taste.
A hen that has become accustomed to
particular house or roosting place
cannot easily be induced to change quar-
tiers.
Fowls should never be confined in
such close quarters that they cannot
take sufficient exercise to promote di-
gestion.
Late Matched chickens should be well
fed and kept growing, otherwise they
will never make large fowls.-St. Louis
Republic.

of Money and work.
AS good a cistern as can be made is by
walling up with brick, and then ce-
menting to make water tight, but when
cheapness is to be considered, q good
cistern may be made in the following
manner; Dig so that 1t will be larger
at the top than at the bottom, like an
old-fashioned dash churn turned bot
tom side up. About two and half or
three feet from the top, cut a square
shoulder in the side of cistern to begin
laying brick on to make the arch. Ce-
ment 1t well to the earth and brick,
then get fat rock, any size to suit
your convenience, cut hole in 1t large
enough for an average-si2ed man to
get through; put it down in cement
over the arch, and you have good,
cheap cistern.
The best filter that I ever saw, is
made in the following manner; Take
a good, tight barrel, knock one of the
heads out; bore an inch and half hole
in the center Of the other end, and put
in a plug from the outside, this to be
the bottom. Put q small, perforated
wooden box just over this, and have the
pipe through which the water runs
come down through the center Of the
barrel and terminate in this box. The
box to have the bottom side out, the
pipe to come through the top of the
box. Get some nice clean gravel, put in
n layer of gravel and then a layer OF
charcoal, and so on till the barrel is
half full or more; arrange it so that the
last layer will be Of gravel. just above
the last layer put in the pipe that runs
into the cistern. Cover the barrel wei
so that nothing can get into it from tn,
top. When it rains let the water in
it will filter from bottom to top instead
of vice versa. Have the barrel sitting
on two stills, and after the cistern i
filled, take out the plug from the bot
tom of the barrel, and the water, il
rushing out, will wash out all sedment
bugs and insects that might have ru
in; thus leaving the filter clean an
nice, and ready for the next time

carried we'll up and is Of medium
length. They have broad back of mod

the neck to the tail; their breasts are
broad and deep. The body of the lou

broad, and very deep and compact, the
more compact the better; and in
birds in good condition the belly al
most touches the ground. Their wings
are large and strong, and fold nicely
against the sides, and they have compar-
atively short tails and stout thighs and
shanks. In color of plumage they are a
dull gray, without penciling. The head
is dark gray, and the neck of the same
color, which shades to a lighter gray
as it approaches the back; the back is of
dark gray, while the breast is light
gray. The body plumage is light gray,
which grows lighter and becomes white
on the belly; the white extends back to
and around the tail, covering the fluffy
parts. The primaries of the wings are
dark gray or brown; the secondaries are
shade darker than the primaries, and
the coverts are dark gray. The tail
feathers are gray and white, the ends
tipepd with white. Their eyes are dark
brown or hazel in color; their bills,
shanks, toes and webs are of deep red
