HAY IN THE STACK.
gree of Accuracy Sufficient for Ordinary Purposes.

Several spondents have writ ten for a certain method of measur- ing hay in the stack. Here is one that is said to be quite correct, but who first formulated it we are un- able to say: Measure the stack for length, width and the "over." To get the lover" throw tape line over the stack at an average place, from ground to ground, drawing it tightly. Multiply the width by the over and divide this result by four; multiply result of division by the length for approximate cubical contents of stack. To reduce to tons: For hay that has stood in stack less than 20 days, divide cubical contents by 512; for more than 20 and less than 60 days, divide cubical contents by 422; for more than 60 days, divide cubical contents by 380. For instance, take Q stack which measures F feet wide, 5s feet long and 36 feet over. Stack has stood 15 days. Multiply 1? by 36, equals 612. Divide 612 by 4, equals 153. Multiply 153 by length 5s, equals S,S74, which gives the cubical con- tents in feet. Divide s,S74 by 512, equals 17.3 tons in stack.
 Tn the bay the rule is to multiply the length, width and height of the bay, or the hay, together, and then divide the total by $50, the supposed number of cubic feet in a ton of good timothy after it is we'll settled. Thus bay 20 feet long, 15 feet wide and 15 feet high would contain 12 tons and 1,750 pounds. Of course these measurements are only approximate, and the actual results will show slight variations either one way or the other. There is'no rule that can be absolutely Washington Farmer

IDEAL CHEESE FACTORY.
Manager of n Pennsylvania Estab- Iishment Tells How 1t Is Ar
 ranged and Conducted.

The new cheese factory in Craw- ford county, Pa., is 30 by 6S feet in size, double boarded and papered on the out side, with cement floor. The work room is 30 by 30 feet, with a slanting floor that falls about 4 inches in 26 feet, while the other feet slants to it, forming a gutter for all slops to run off. There are two curing rooms. The small one is papered and ceiled on the inside. In this we put our new cheese for to 12 days, after which they are moved to room No. 9, which we call the cold room. This room was sheathed on the inside, papered on sheathing, put on by inch pieces up

 Two 12-inch ventilators run from the ceiling up through the roof. The windows in this room are of two thicknesses of glass. There are also two small openings in the wall in op- posite corners, to allow cold air to come in when the night is cooler than the day. Last fall when the thermom- eter stood for several days above 90 degrees in the shade, we never saw it above 76 degrees in this room. This spring we put in cold air duct.
 The cheese are placed on truck as they are taken from the presses and pushed to the curing rooms. The whey is pasteurized as soon as drawn and kept in tanks covered with boards and roofing paper. Some of our pa- irons say that the value of the whey was doubled by pasteurizing.
 The building sets on a tile founda. tion, built high enough so no boards touch the ground. It is covered with an asbestos roofing. We use no hoist ing crane to unload, as the cans are dumped over a saddle from the wag- ons. The upper story over work rooms is used for boxes, workshop, etc.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Grasses for Dry Weather.

Experience during recent dry sum, mers strongly emphasizes the chief weakness of blue grass-its almost entire failure to grow during dry weather. Orchard grass has been found best of the ordinary grasses in this respect, but the common red clover has shown it's superiority to any of the smaller grasses for either hay or grazing in dry years. Highly prized as are the old blue grass pas lures, it seems clearly proved that a greater quantity of food would be produced by putting them under a rotation, with corn and clover the chief crops. This would involve more labor, but in present conditions would give better prospects of profits, said the late Prof. G. E. Nor. row.

At a recent meeting of the Geological society in London a photograph was exhibited, showing pair of remark ably large tusks which had belonged to an African elephant. Measured along the outer curve, each tusk was ten feet and four inches long, but they differed little in weight, one weighing 225 and the other 235 pounds, or a total of 460 pounds, which the elephant had carried about without the least in- convenience.-Youth's Companion.

This entertaining story Is OF more than
passing interest to our readers from the
fact that the author, Belle Boardman
CrIst, was until very recently a resident OF
Lexington. From first to last the story
holds the attention Of the reader, aud
that too without any attempt at sensa-
tionalism. The teallsm that pervades the
book is oil a nature too seldom found In
modem novels, that OF a healthy aud
highly moral character. The actors 10
the drama are clearly defined characters
with the usual amount OF human weak
ness>fn their makeup, and while they
Q the reward Of duty well done they
also reap the penalty for their errors. II
our novel reading public could be inhu'
euced to read more literature OF this
character and less oil the Laura Jean
Llbbey trash that is so plentiful, there
would be q perceptible Improvement Ia
the moral ont Of our young men and
women. We would have fewer sensa'
