A HAY-STAcKING DERRICK.
Contrivance Like the One Here De-
scribed Saves Lots of Time
and Lessons Labor.

Many farmers, whose barn capacity
is somewhat limited, stack the larger
portion of their hay crop until after
threshing, and then haul it into the
barn later for winter feeding. Under
such circumstances this method seems
advisable, for then, if the weather
should happen to be like what we have
had the past two seasons, there is not
the danger of losing the entire grain
crops. OF course during some seasons
there is a greater bulk of roughage to
be stored than during other seasons,
nevertheless. the majority of farmers
know just about the producing capa-
city Of their land, and can quite accu-
rately estimate amount of barn room
that will be required TO store their
crops and from year TO year be able,

ESS.A -
NEW JERSEY MANS DEVICE.
Said to Secure Electricity Direct from
Coal Through the Use of a
Dynelectron.

In a recent issue of Electricity there
appeared an article taken from one OF
the daily papers describing an inven-
tion for generating electricity direct
from fuel. The inventor, resident of
Newark, N. j., is elated, as he deems
his invention perfected. This problem
Of obtaining power from coal, and do
ing away with expensive and cumberous
machinery, is one that inventors and
scientists the world over have been for
years endeavoring to solve. Whoever
Rccomplishes 1t successfully and de-
signs an apparatus that is practical will
be the means of revolutionizing the ex-
sting methods of generating motive
power. But unless this Newark genius
has finally hit upon the proper combi-
nation of elements the problem is far
from solved. Thermopiles have been
brought out in the past, for which great
things were hoped and which to all ap-
pearances accomplished striking re-
suits in a small way. When, however,
more was required Of them than the
operation of an electric fan or doorbell,
fatal defects made their appearance
The internal resistance was too great
and the alloys made use of became OK
idiZed. Bhe Newark inventor claims
the efficiency of his apparatus, which he
calls a dynelectron, is As per cent, as
compared to eight and one-half per cent.
when electric current is generated by
means of the steam engine. 1t is to
be hoped that the dynelectron will be
able to accomplish what the steam en-
gine and dynamo now do not, but until
such is actually proved to be the case,
we are inclined to be rather skeptical
of the ability Of this new device.

RAISING HOGS ON SHARES.
A Practice Quite Popular in Iowa and
One That Yields Big Profits
to Investors.

Iowa farmers in many cases are rent
ing lands on which hogs are grown on
shares, having stocked the farm on
shares TO tenants. A telegram from
Iowa City says that the problem now is,
on what basis shall the increase of
brood sows and other animals supplied
on shares be divided at the end of the
season?
The owner of the animals placed out
on shares has usually expected at the
time of divisions half of the increase OF
such animals, or If the animals are not
sold, an equitable division Of them has
usually been made, This plan has been
carried out many times in this county
with both sides of the bargain well
pleased, despite the fact that the first
owner of the sows gets all the best of the
bargain.
The way In which a careful farmer of
the county figured it out this spring, and
it is on his figures that the most of the
present contracts are based is TO take a
herd of ten sows, and placing the usual
value upon them. about $3.50, credit that
to the owner. He credits also ten acres
of pasture land, rented for about $50, TO
the same side of the book, bringing his
investment up to about $500. He then
takes the average production, of about
six pigs to the sow, and values them at
$72, or s720 for the whole herd.
Up to this time 1t has been the custom
for the investor to take half of this
sum, or $500. as his share OF the in
crease, and since money has been tighi
during the past fe% years. he has had
no trouble in getting it. 1t gives him,
however, about 1S0 per cent. on his in
vested capital for the risk involved.

RRuNE-TURcHL SEPARATOR.
New System for Simultaneous Tele-
graphing and Telephoning
on the Same Wire.

A new system for simultaneous tele-
graphing and telephoning on the same
wire is at present being discussed in
the Italian technical press. The sys-
tenn, says the Scientific American, has
been tested with most satisfactory re-
suits on the Rome-Venice telegraph
line, but no particulars as to the prin-
ciples 1t is based upon had so far been
forthcoming. Now, in the May issue
of the Elettriciata, Prof. A. Banu gives
short description of the apparatus
devised by Prof. Bruno and Signor
Turchi. The problem the two inven-
tors had to solve may be stated as fol-
lows: Two alternate currents of differ
ent frequencies traversing one same
current, being given, to eliminate the
effect of either of them.
In the present case, we have the tele-
phone current and an induced current
due to the telegraph current, both ex-
hibiting an alternate character. but
each being of different frequency, the
effect of the induced current being the
one TO be annihilated.
In order to show how it is possible
to attain this, the author considers a
closed circuit certain section of
which is divided into two branches of
equal ohmic resistance, forming a diff
ferential coil wound on a weak iron
core: Assuming that the two differen-
tial branches have different imped-
anees, 1t will be understood that with a
current of given frequency it is posi-
bic to regulate the two impedances, so
as to have in the core a resultant flux
equal TO zero. II, therefore two cur
rents Of frequencies al and az be passed
through the circuit, the latter being
for instance, regulated for the fire.
quency al only the current of fire.
quency az will give a flux different
from zero. Now, If the weak iron core
be the one OF telephone, the latter will
show only the effects of the frequency
az, and, generally speaking, all those
of any other frequency either superior
or inferior to al. A similar circuit
capable Of annihilating the effects or
an external circuit of either of the cur.

as soon as a crop is ready to be har-
vested, TO secure it by storing under
shelter. There is but little doubt that
if the loss sustained from stacking
crops were accurately figured out,
there would be enough loss upon the
majority of farms in five years to pay
the cost of building barn sufficient
ly large to store all the crops raised
upon the farm.
The past two rainy seasons have,
think, demonstrated that capital in
barns is a good investment. There
are, however, a great many farmers
who are abundantly able to have con-
venient barns for storing their crops
who have not, simply because they do
not believe the above statement. Upon
my own farm | have plenty of stor-
ing room for all the hay and grain. If
| had not, | would not hesitate a mo-
ment to invest in more barn room.
But where the barn room is lin
tied, and it is necessary to stack hay.
a derrick similar to the one illus
trated in the cut can be erected that
in stacking. The derrick shown in cut
requires three poles, two 40 feet long
and one 81 feet. The two longest poles
should be arranged in the shape of an in
verted V by boiling the ends together
with three-Quarter-inchb bolt. The poles
should be set into the ground at least
four feet in order to help stay the
derrick. The derrick can be raised
by the use of a rope and tackle, and
thus greatly lessen the heavy lifting.
1t will be necessary to stay the poles
by running a No. 10 wire from the
top to the single pole over the top
of the other poles, and then down TO
the ground about 80 feet from the
foot of the derrick. 1t will also be
necessary to stay the derrick in 9th
er directions. The manner in which
the fork is arranged is very clearly
shown in the cut. This derrick has
now been in use five seasons, and has
proved very satisfactory.-Leo c. Rey-
nolds, in Ohio Farmer.

Two More New Elements.

Prof Charles Baskerville, of the Uni
verify of North carionia( has discovered
TWO new chemical elements, allied TO
thorium, from watch the mantles CT
Welsbach burners are derived. He has
named one of them carolinium, in honor
of his state, and the other berzelium,
after the name Of the great Swedish
chemist, Berzelius. Both the new ele-
ments are radioactive. giving off rays
that penetrate metals. wood and other
substances, and that are capable of pro-
ducing Photographic and visible light
effects. Like other radioactive ele-
ments, they are OF high atomic weight.
Prof. Baskerville has been on the
track of these new elements for several
years.

long day, whose twilight still fingers
long after its sun has set. If no other
cause would compel the change, the in

to hold up his head among his fellows.
and play his part in the worlds affairs,
must put into practice the very best
system Of handling his land. system
that will produce big yields at mini
mum costs, and conserve and increase

Securing Runaway swarms.

When large apiaries of Italian bees
are kept, it is essential that all blacks
and hybrids within radius of a mile
be disposed of, if the swarms are to be
kept pure. 1t is often a nuisance to
hive stray swarms, but an apiarist
must do this in order TO protect his
stock. A. l. Root, a large beekeeper
of Ohio, sends man on bicycle to
hive all stray swarms which are re-
ported to him. The man carries a
pair of pruning shears, small smoker,
bee-veil, gloves and burlap sack, in
which to place the bees. The sack
can usually be slipped around the bees
and the mouth Of it tied before the
limb is cut. The bees are then car
ried off in the sack and placed in a
hive.--Orange Judd Farmer.

WHY THE FARM BOY WINS.
1t Is Because His Early Life Has Made
Him Responsive to Every
Moral Suggestion.

No boy need ever regret that he was
born in the country and reared on a farm.
He may lack the keenness and polish OF
the city cousin. He may be embarrassed
by his own awkwardness, and feel that
he is at hopeless disadvantage in the
race, but the country boy has wider
range of practical ideas. From the very
first his little services are in demand
He becomes at once part of the force
that is making for home comfort and
prosperity, and feels the independence
of one who is helping to support him
self and add to the general store. The
farm boy is likely to regard his life as
one of drudgery and such it may be,
II he loses interest in his surroundings
or is pressed with a continual round of
duty. There is something heroic in
the country boys struggle with the ele-
ments. Rain, snow and sleet only brace
his courage. The garnering of the crops,
the housing and feeding of the do
nestle animals, the gathering and prep
aration of the winter fuel give purpose
and zeal to his toll. Then there is the
long tramp, sometimes of miles, to the
district school, lessons learned before and
after long hours of labor. Is it any
wonder there are keen wits developing
all outside of graded systems and in de-
fiance of pedagogical order? 1t is the
intensity of purpose with which the
mind acts under the influence of vigor-
GUS health and the conscious value of
time that accounts for these results. So
from the farm is being supplied stream
of active world-workers, men not afraid
to do their duty, and bubbling over with
energy and ambition. Touch the coun-
try-bred boy. now the merchant prince
or the successful professional man, and
| how responsive he becomes to every
suggestion of moral life! The same
canont be said of boys reared in the
midst of other surroundings. 1t is the
contact with nature that makes the in
delible impression upon life. No great
er gain can come to the country at large
than that which comes from the promo
ton of the love and appreciation of
rural life. Health, happiness, purity
and peace are the natural inheritance
of those who dwell surrounded by fresh
air, beautiful scenes, bright skies and
pure social influences. es.-Agricultural
