DERRICK FOR STACKING HAY.

The pole has "A hole bored through it
about three feet from the ground
through which is inserted n strong iron
bar to turn the arm NJ the derrick over
the rick when loaded and drawn up.
The pulley at the lower side of the
frame should be so placed that it will
aid in turning the arm of the derrick
over the rick. The trip rope to the hay
fork does not show in this illustration
| use the derrick TO rick clover hay
and find that to handle the hay sue
cessfully with the fork it should be put
up in large cocks and allowed to stand
till it settles. A small haycOck for
stacking with derrick Is a nuisance.
To be able to build these large cocks
without too much carrying of the hay
| rake the clover with sweep rake 20
feet long. teeth six feet long, drawn by
two horses. Two rakefuls make one
good cock. In hauling to the stack |
use this sweep rake and haul two or
three cocks at a time. In this way
can keep the stackers going. This year
shall try stacking from the wind
row by using sled and hay sings, two
or three sings to n sled If this will
work, and feel sure that 1t will, 1t will
save the labor of cooking.
In ricking clover hay with a derrick
the ricks should be made long and
narrow and as high as possible. 1t
takes no more material to cover q high
rick than a low one. A rick with a
bulge requires too much cover to pro-
tect it. Hence the sides should be
nearly straight till necessary to draw
In for the top. With the aid of the DER
rick the only hard work necessary Is
that Of the trampers and stackers. 1t
needs a man to set the fork, man TO
two men on the stack. Boys can ride
the hopses to haul in the hay and the
horse that works the fork
BY making runners of the lower part
of the frame this derrick can be
drawn to different parts of the field
and from one field to another over
level land without taking down the
poles.
The derrick should be put together
with bolts. SO that II can be taken down
and stored in shelter when not in use.
If not taken down. it makes a good
weather vane. but not an attractive
field ornament

The Kind of Man Wanted.

There is good demand to-day for men
to work on poultry farms, and there are
many men, apparently, looking without
much success for positions on poultry
farms. The trouble is that too many men
of limited experience are trying TO get
important places. positions of response
bility with good salaries. while what en-
ployers want is good men for subordinate
positions. Another element of difficulty is
in The condition of many of the applicants
for work. Many OF them are not robu t.
while employers mostly want strong and
active men who can stand any work re-
CURED OF them. They want men to o, who
will be content to settle down and learn
the business thoroughly, ar this they feel
sure many OF the applicants do not intend
to do. There are too many who want to
work on practical poultry farms just long
enough to get some ideas which to them
seem very good and complete, of how
things are done there, and then proceed
to put their inexperience into practice on
their own account

London, Jan. lit is understood
that Lord Kitchener now holds u

the Delagoa bay line, which had been
cut January 7.
According to the Pretoria CORES
pondent of the Daily Mail Lord
Kitchener is now organizing a force
of 80, 900 irregular horse, which will
occupy some weeks. When the force
is ready he will resume offensive
operations. Meanwhile the invasion
of Cape Colony looks more threaten
ing. The news that Commandment
Hertzog has two guns is rather start
ling, as it was formerly reported that
the invaders had no guns. The de-
fences Of Capetown including two A.
naval guns are now completed and
recruiting of volunteers is active
throughout the colony.
According to dispatches to the Daily
Express the admiral of the Cape fleet
is prepared in emergency to land a
naval brigade of 2, 1900 men with six
Hotchkiss guns.
A Murraysburg telegram says the
Dutch there received the British

so. Hill was asked if there was any

absence of respiration, heart action
and pulse were manifest.
DIR. Cumler resolved to try a salt
solution as a final resort. At 1877 p.
m. he injected a quantity of warm
water containing rs per cent of salt
into the left arm. In 20 seconds there
were signs of pulse and it was plain
that circulation was beginning to re-
vive. In IS minutes a second hypo-
dermic was tried. This time in a
branch of the brachial artery, in the
upper left arm. In 20 minutes from
the second injection respiration was
full and rythmal, color returned to
the PATIENTS face and he regained
consciousness and asked for food.

administered and soon after Sauer
took a drink of water, one of the best
symptoms of returned functional &C

SENATORS WILL EULOGIZE
LATE COLLEAGUE.
PETT|cREW The DETESTED
His Latest Charge Against Presi-
dent Bitterly Resented
on All Sides.

Washington, Jan. IL Tomorrow
almost the entire session Of the senate
will be devoted to the delivery of
eulogies on the late Senator Davis.
Some Of the leading and most eloquent
members of that body are to speak, in
Guiding Hoar and Lodge OF the repub-
lican side and Daniel and Towne on
the democratic side.
The original list of speakers, as ar
ranged by Senator Nelson, included
the name of Senator Pettigrew, who
accepted that invitation, and said he
would be glad to pay a tribute of re-
spect to a man whom he had so much
admired. Today. however, it de-
veloped that Pettigrew will not speak.
Asked about the matter he said: II
intended until recently to speak, but
lately I came to the conclusion that
under the circumstances / ought not
to. I was a great admirer of Senator
DAVIS, who for years, notwithstand-
ing our later political differences, was
my friend. If I should speak the way
I nov feel I fear that I should say
something which were, perhaps. best
unsaid, and so I have withdrawn my
NAME
In other quarters it is limited that
Pettig1ew withdrew his name from
the list of Davis eulogists, not SO
much for the reasons set forth in the
above interview, as for the reason
that he is now. persona non grata to
practically every member of the senate
and he felt that his eulogy would
rather tend to mar tomorrow's pro-
ceedings than to add to their impress
s~iveness and solemnity.
Pettigrew's charge that President
Mckinley has appointed a son of Ju-
stice Harlan of the supreme court to
the position Of attorney general of
Porto Rico hoping thereby to influ-
ence favorably Justice Harlan's official
opinion in the Porto Rican cases, now
pending before the supreme court, is
the straw that seems to have broken
the camel's back. The change is re.
garded as a direct insult, not only tc
President Mckinley, but to Justice
Harlan also. It has been bitterly re.
sented in all quarters.

CHANCELLOR SERVES NO ONE
BUT HIM.
RECENT SPEECH A PUZZLE
Neither Supporter Nor Opponent
Can Make Out Its Ex-
act Meaning.

Berlin, Jan. 12-The opening speech
OF the imperial chancellor, Count Won
Buelow, in the Prussian diet Tuesday,
which was largely programmatic, is
here considered the leading political
event Of the week.
The entire press is still busy COM
menting on and Interpreting his re-
marks. Only the extreme leftists are
wholly dissatisfied Herewith, claim
ing the chancellor has gone over, bag
and baggage, to the agrarians, while
the moderate l~eftists, center and ma
tionallsts point but that the chancellor
carefully avoided definite terms in his
speech and that later he probably in
tends to shape his Prussian policy,
especially during the forthcoming diet
session, according to how and where
he finds a majority favoring the canal
bill, about whose ultimate passage
Emperor William is still as anxious
as ever. Conservatives and the
agrarian press handle Won Buelow's
speech with extreme caution. They
avoid pledging support Of the canal
bill in exchange for any possible bar
gain.
The agrarlans continue to distrust
Won Buelow. The Kreuze Zeitung,
while pleasantly complimenting the
chancellor, warns the latter not to re-
peat Prince Hohenlohe's punitive
methods towards the members of the
diet who are also government en-
ployes for voting against the canal
measure. A significant little incident
is this: Won Buelow's speech, as
actually delivered in the diet, spoke
of increased cereal duties, and protec-
tion of German agriculture, while the
corrected manuscript several hours
later as it left Won Buelow's hands
mentioned only a '~'gesicherter FOL
schuts," meaning "assured duty pro-
lection" This manipulation has not
escaped attention and there are all
sorts Of surmises. connected Herewith.
In the best infored parliamentary
circles the opinion is now held that
Won Buelow himself hardly knows
where he stands and that he will skill
fully endeavor to push the canal bill
through the diet with what not toe
e~xacting allies he can find.
It would be very unlike Won Bue-
low to conclude a fixed bargain thus
early with any party or set of parties.
The China bill will not be disposed
of by the reichstag for sometime, as
the bundesrath has only just received
the government bill fixing China sol
diers' pension. Political circles opine
that the Chinese problem is still 6
long way off from definite solution
as the question of damages will oc
cupy much time in Pekin.
