"'Actin' on his idee he drove what
sheep was left into an old cabin he

Poor old Abner he WINGED with a

got over it he says to Caleb:
"That's another good idee," says
he. "Only don't set the trap in front
o. the door. Set it under the window.
If the thief comes he'll be sure you've
got the door locked and he'll go to the
| winder to climb in," says Abner. "Set
the trap under the winder," says he.
"'Caleb said he would, and along in

trap for the cabin. On the way there
he got another idee. He wouldn't set

HAY-STACKING BY MACHINERY
COntriyances In Use In the Northwest
That Would Surprise nm East
ern Farmer.

In the northwestern states, where
forage crops are cultivated for export,
the stacking and baing of hay is done
largely by machinery, andsthe number
of hands required to care for the great
crops that are grown is relatively much
smaller than in parts of the country
where the size of the fields and the
amount of the crop would not justify
the investment of a large sum of money
in plant, says the New York Sun.
There are dozen or more styles Of
stackers in common use, some OF them
arranged with a mast on which boom
is rugged, carrying fork. This fork,
a huge affair which would pick up two
or three eastern hay cocks at one mo-
ton, takes the hay from the wagon
racks, and swings it up to the great
stack in which it is to be stored.
One mast and boom stacker carries
six-tined fork. The mast is held in
place by guy ropes from the top. The
foot of the mast rests on a sled with
runners, which may be staked to the
ground to hold it firm. The fork is
worked Dy team OI nOTSes, anu uoeS
the work of score of men.
Another form of this stacker has a
grapple fork, similar to the dredges
used in submarine excavation, which
runs trolley wire, much like those
made familiar to New Yorkers by the
| arrangements for handling the mate
rial excavated from the subway.
Another form of stacker looks like
| derrick from the oil fields, with a
boom balanced on top. The advantage
of this form is that no guy ropes are
necessary, stakes at the base of the
derrick poles holding it firm while in
| operation.
| Some of these derricks are mount
| ed on sled runners, and some on wheels,
which are blocked when the machine
| is in use. Another variation Of this
| scheme is derrick with revolving
| pole.
The hay racks in which material is
brought to feed these great machines
are longer, wider and ddeeperthant those
in use in the east. but are built on
i lines much the same.

currency, silver, paper, copper and
