STACKING ALFALFA WITH A DERRICK
actual operation on the ranches of
eastern Oregon is that known as the
"slide method" which is employed
only on the largest ranches where ma
tive hay Is the predominating crop. A
Slide" consists essentially of huge,
strongly built inclined plane. The hay
Is brought up to the base of the plane
usually by a four horse buck and de-
posted in net to which is fastened
cable stretched over the top of the
plane and the entire stack. The other
end Of the cable Is attached to the fore
truck Of a wagon to which is hltched
four horse team. When the load has
been drawn up and discharged In the
proper place on the stack, net Is
drawn back to the base of the plane
again by single horse. readjusted and
reloaded. The four horse buck load will
average about one ton Of hay, and a
load will be run on to the stack once In
six to eight minutes when the machin-
cry Is In good working order.
Another method more extensively
used than the "slide' differs from 1t
only in the substitution of derrick
for the slide. The bucks and net are
used In both cases, but their capacity
Is usually smaller than those operated
by four horses instead of two.
Both Of these processes are best
adapted to the handling of native hay
which is not much injured by rough
treatment. The bucks are especially
hard on alfalfa, one of the most diff
cult hay crops to cure and handle
properly. With rough treatment, such
as it is certain to receive when bucked
to the stack, the friable leaves, the
most valuable part of the plant, are al
most certain to be largely broken off.
To obyiate this very decided objection
many Of the ranchers discard the
bucks entirely In handling the alfalfa
crop and haul the hay to the stack In
wagons. 1t Is then unloaded by means
OF derrick or tripod arrangement and
fork. In this way the leaves are
saved, ond the most difficult part Of
the manual labor, the transfer of the
hay from the load to the stack, Is still
accomplished by the use Of machinery.
Another very decided disadvantage
Of the "sllde" method results from the
difficulty OF making the stacks water
proof. When ton Of hay is dropped
in one place on the stack and similar
quantities are put up at such short In
tervals, the stackers do not usually
work 1t over so as to make the mass Of
uniform density The consequence Is
that there are places in the stack that
are not well packed. When the hay
settles, "holes" occur, allowing the

The quality and size Of fruit on old

''Then he done queer thing. Our tug
was just putin back. He walked to

was no mistaking that kissing expul-

every one of No. 1214's most effective
drives.
"But how on earth could he have
got aboard when he was on the bridge

manded the Judge
"Said he flew aboard like bird" re-
asserted the sailor positively. Never
seen him fly, but he must ha' got there
somehow"
"May 1t please the court" said, Il
can clear this mystery. Here was the
Giovanna going out into the world, and
there or the bridge was No. 1914 with
n soul full Of yearning. 1t was only
step from the bridge roadway to
the ships maintop masthead. The soul
full of yearning gets the best Of 1914
and he makes the step, casts away his
uniform and becomes q mysterious dis

"But what has become of him?"
asked the judge.

sailor Found a lot of dagoes there

'That is No. 1914 beyond reasonable
doubt" said the judge. Shall we re-
port the matter"

SO we held our peace, and on the po-
