the top and hooked so as to hold the
pole in place. This is a seasoned slim
sapling resembling q well pole, and
usually about 80 feet in length. y long
chain, of say eight feet extends from
the butt end of this pole to the post to
which it is ,fasteHed near the ground
Three pulleys arranged properly are
sufficient to lift the hay or grain. A
small rope is enough to handle the
fork. The pole is pulled around to tie
wagon, the fork inserted in the load
and the chain naturally draws it back
in place over the stack or shed and the
load is dropped. The chains and ropes
with one pole may be removed after the
stacking is completed.
Another stacker is sometimes called
the derrick or crane and is more handy
than the pole. 1t consists of a heavy
post set solidly in the ground and
reaching 80 or 40 feet high, with an arm
12 feet or more in length, upon which
the pulleys and ropes are arranged.
The arm is fastened in a groove cut in
the post, and kept in place by an iron
band which allows it to turn round
This stacker is frequently used when
stacking hay or straw in a circle, with
the post in the center. 1t is useful also
in lifting from the wagon and swing
ing round to shed or platform at a
barn window. The same ropes and pull
leys are required on both stackers, and
a horse does the work of elevating the
load. A rope, twisted wires or chain
forms the stay OF the derrick and pre-
vents it from breaking. If the band
holding, the arm slips it may be held in
place by hanging chain above and
hooking it around the arm.-Orange

skimmilk Good for Chicks.

Recent experiments have shown that
skimmillk is very valuable food for
young chicks, but becomes less valuable
as the chicks get older, though there is
no doubt that skimmilk is always valu-
able as food. But for young growing
chicks it seems to be more than or
dinarily valuable. When added to the
ration for chicks it increases the con-
sumption OF other foods given. The
farmer almost always has bountiful
supply of skimmilk, at least so far as
the demand for feed for the chicks is
concerned. Meat and milk as part of
the ration of the chicks will cause
rapid growth, and this is of great inn
portance when we are trying to get fall
ayers.-Farmers' Review.

Fish with compound Eyes.

The anableps, or star gazer, fish of
the cyprodont family, found in the riv.
ers of Guiana, Surinam and Brazil, has
each of its eyes divided into an upper
and lower portion by an Opaque hori-
zontal line. This gives it in effect two
pupils IN each eye, one suited for seeing
IN the air and the other for seeing in
the water. The fish is in the habit of
swimming at the surface with its head
sometimes above, sometimes below, the
water line. The common whirligig
beetle (gyrinus), which spends its time
circling round and round on the surface
of the water, has eyes modified in ex-
actly the same manner, evidently for a
similar purpose. These eyes are COM
pound; the simple eyes which are found
in most insects along with the com
pound are entirely wanting in the
whirligig.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

You cannot clean the coop too often.
A hen pays in proportion TO the eggs
she lays.
Fresh earth for scratching and dust
ing is indispensable.
In shipping poultry now be careful
not to crowd the coops.
Too much stimulating food often
causes over egg production.
While Leghorns are the best of lay
ers, they are small in size.
Pekin ducks can he raised with only
sufficient water for drinking.
Put coal oil ON the roosts and air
slaked lime about the building.
Young cockrels often prematurely
disfigure themselves by fighting.
Feed sulphur sparingly as it will
cause rheumatism or leg weakness.
Fowls that fatten easily should have
plenty of opportunity to exercise.
AS soon as the young turkeys get
strong enough give them free range.
Keep the dust bath always ready.
Use dry earth, or sifted coal ashes, add
ing little lime.
If the most prolific hens are retained
and the worthless ones marketed a de-
cided improvement will soon result.
Young and old fowls require sutfi-
cient nutritious food to keep them in
thrifty, growing condition.-St. Louis
Republic.

WONDERFUL, IF TRUE.
West Virginia Miner Doing Nicely
with Part of IA CaIf's Brain
In His Head.

About three months ago at Harmon
w. Va, Jay Lentz, foreman in the mines
of the Great Western company was
caught under n fall of slate in the mines,
His skull was crushed, and DIR. L. C.
Harman and two other surgeons gave
him up to die. a piece of his brain was
broken away from the main body of the
brain structure, and the skull covering
it was broken away.
After a few days the doctors decided
to take heroic measures. The shat.
tered brain was cut away neatly anG
dressed. y healthy yearling calf was
tied down, her skull cut away and
lobe of brain removed and fitted into
the cavity in Lentz's head. The wound
was dressed and trephined and the re.
suits awaited. The calf's head was
fixed up with half brain in it.
Both the miner and the calf have
progressed satisfactorily, and the man
is nearly as well as before the opera
ton, though his mental vigor is not ell
tirely restored. The calf stands as
though asleep till started, when il
moves, till interrupted, in direct line,
1t will not eat till it's jaws are started,
then its jaws must be stopped by force,
as it continues chewing when food
is removed.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

scientific study of Dreams.

Psychologists have undertaken the
scientific study of dreams. When the
olfactory sense of sleeper is stimu-
lated by an odor, such MS that of hello
trope, not only does he dream of ''smell-
ing violets,' but visual images of flow.
ers appear to him. If the experiment is
prolonged the dream vision becomes
complex and filled with strange im-
agery a vibrating tuning fork held
near sleeper's ear made him dream of

dreamed that he was eating olives.

HANDY HAY sTAcKERS.
Two Varieties Which Have Been Used
with Gratifying Success for
Number of Years.

The simple hay stacliers represented
In the accompanying illustrations are
used extensively in certain haying dis
tricts. They are erected ut convenient
places in the fields and yards and near
barns and sheds. Any ordinary hay
fork can be used in connection with
either, and much of the dreaded hard
lifting and pitching of the harvest sea-
son be avoided.
The pole stocker consists of two well
seasoned poles, two chains, three pull
leys and ropes to manipulate the fork.
One pole is set in the ground four to six
feet, after Stats have been nailed on or
pins driven in auger holes about two
feet apart for ladder. The post or
pole may extend so or 40 feet in the air
If high stacks are wanted. A short
chain is placed around this pole near
