pie in construction, easily handled and
is not patented. Although in use
but two or three years the pole has
become a universal favorite and can be
seen in many fields, corrals and stock
yards.
The material neco ssary for the pole
stacker consists of two poles 30 and 30
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-hoIes every two
feet, which makes Il ladder for getting
up and down when necessary to fix the
top chain or drop the lifting pole. y
short chain is fastened around the
standingpole 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 st the butt erd
with n 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

| of Money and Work.
| AS good 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, good
| cistern may be made in the following
manner: Dig so that it 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 it well to the earth and brick.
then get fiat rock. any size to suit
your convenience, cut a hole in il large
enough for an average-sized man to
get through; put it down in cement
over the arch, and you have good,
cheap cistern.
The best filter that / 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 plug from the outside, this to be
the bottom. Put 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 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 we'll
so that nothing can get into it from the
top. When II rains let the water in;
it will filter from bottom to top instead
of vice versa. Have the barrel sitting
on two sills, and after the cistern is
filled, take out the plug from the bot
tom of the barrel, and the water. In
rushing out, will wash out all sediment
bugs and insects that light have run
in; thus leaving the filter clean and
