needed is a pole IS or 80 feet long,
large enough and rigid enough to carry
the heaviest load a horse fork will be
able to carry. The lower end OF the
pole is let into the ground foot or so,
leaving the hole somewhat larger than
the diameter Of the pole, so it will have
some play. The load is run up to one
side or other of the stack and the pole
adjusted, as seen in the illustration.
Guy ropes B and C are taut and will
hold the pole in position while guy rope
A IS slack, giving enough play to let
the pole swing around SO the top Of it
will be directly over the stack, as can
be seen by the dotted lines. The hitch
is made at u, and Il pulley is attached
to the pole about four feet from the
ground. When the horse pulls on the
pole, it swings around over the stack,
and the trip is sprung which deposits
the hay on the stack, and when the
horse ceases to pull the pole swings
back into position again. This plan
requires a great deal of rope, but stout
wires may be substituted for them.
The harpoon fork from the barn may
be used"
A somewhat similar affair Is q der
rick consisting of two poles. These
two poles are represented in the sketch
IT \, and the lower ends are let in the
ground a few inches. At the top Of
these poles at = they are bolted togeth-
or and pulley put in through which
the rope is run for the fork. C repre-
sents the two guy ropes or wires and E
the rope extending to the fork. The
hitch is made at a pulley at d. The
dotted lines will show how the derrick
operates. When the load is being TAX
en- off, the poles will lean over so the
fork will be above the load, and when
the load is to be let ON the stack the
poles are swung over the stack before
the trip is made.

LOG JAMS.
The Force They Exert and How They
Are Broken Cp.

"a log Jam is one of the most for
tnidable problems we have to encoun-
ter in our line Of business" said Mis-
sissippi lumberuan. How they begin
is difficult to explain: A few dozen
logs will become wedgcd for an instant
In narrow part of 4 stream and In
less time than it takes me to tell 1t
hundreds of others will come sWoOping
down and pack themselves in an intri-
cate, close knit span, reaching from
bank to bank, and almost as solid as
u rock. The force they exert Is some
thing marvellous. During enc jam in
my section l saw a lot of logs plunge
under the edge Of the blockade, and a
few seconds later they pushed their
way up through the very middle of
the pack, tossing timbers as big
around as a mans waist into the air
like SO many toothpicks. The noise
they made as they drove through the
mass was simply deafening. 1t sound
ed as If the solid earth was being torn
I'D by its foundations. When the logs
passed under the jam, they were evil
IDENTIFY caught in such way as to
still further obstruct the imprisoned
stream and were hurled upward with
oil the irresistible energy Of millions OF
gallons of rushing water.
"The breaking Of a jam is very
ticklish operation and seems to be
largely matter Of instinct with old
rivermen. The lines and angles OF
strain in such blockade are SO COM
plicatcd that the best engineer In the
world is apt to go wrong in indicating
the proper point Of attack. A veteran
lumberman, on the contrary, will often
take a long look at the mass and then
point out the key log The key log
Is the timber on which the strain cen
tiers, and when it is blown out or pried
out, the pack, in almost every instance,
will break up Of itself. / had an old
fellow in my employ few years ago
who could locate key log nine times
out Of ten. He couldn't read or write,
knew nothing about engineering and
was unable to explain how he arrived
at his conclusions. He said it came
