yards.
The material necessary for the pole
stacker consists of two poles 20 and 80
feet, or longer, as desired, three pull
leys, two chains and two ropes. The
short pole, usually 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 tbs
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 enc
with chain which regulates the heigh
of the stack and holds the stacker IL
place after being swung around for th'
hay on the wagon. The pulleys. ropes
and fork are handled as with othel
stackers.-Joel Shoemaker, in Farm an,

manner: Dig so that it will be larger
