Novel Hay Stacking Arrangement ut
CoIfax.

HI. H. Alderman, owner and pro-
on Union fiat. about six miles SOUTH
east of town, has introduced novel
and labor saving device for putting
hay and grain into his barn, says a
Colfax correspondent He has utilized
the "shoot the chutes'' idea. The sys-
tenn used Is a 400-chute running from
the brow Of the hill into the loft Of
the barn at the foot. The slope Is
trifile more than so per cent from the
perpendicular. In the barn the end
OF the chutes Is suspended by means
of rope. thus permitting 1t to be
swung readily to any part OF the barn.
In this manner one man will with lit
tie difficulty take care OF all the grain
and hay that three teams and men can
draw and shoot down the trough. Mr..
Ackerman's barn is 60 feet long. ~
feet wide and "a feet high.
The chute Is constructed OF inch
boards and lies on the ground until
near the foot, when 1t swings out into
the barn. The bottom of the trough
is made OF two 1x12 planks, the ends
slightly overlapping. while on each
side is nailed a 1x10 board. The IN
side of the chute. when put up. was
smoothed. so as to avoid catching
grain. When the harvest season II
over Mr.. Alderman takes the chute
down in sections and stores It away
for the following year.

Should Farmers Strike.

According to the latest census, there
are l0,43s.21s persons In the United
States engaged in agricultural pur-
suits And these figures represent
a power not merely in numbers. No
organization Of any other classes
would have such an effect on im-
proving their own conditions than that
within the power OF the American
bers would strike. whiskers would be-
come fashionable, or men would shave
themselves. If the 1891 bartenders
would strike many would become tenn
perate. or the bottle trade would be
largely increased. II the 100000 sol
diers would strike peace would obtain.
or. in the event of other nations taxi
ing advantage of the difnculty, con-
scription would follow.
But II the farmers Of the United
States would strike. they would have
it In their power to bring about .
speedier settlement than any other
class. For it Is rot alone individuals
that are concerned, and new condi-
tions could not take the place Of tbs
old.--Labor. World

PRICE OF JUTE BAGS RAISED
Farmers Of Washington Losers by
Over $500, 1000.

The Walla Walla Bulletin says Of
| the jute mill and sack situation in
Washington:
AS result of the failure Of the state
board of control to secure a supply Of
jute for the operation OF the grain bag
factory at the penitentiary. the farm
ers of eastern Washington will be
mulctted out of from 100000 to $780,
900 and possibly more, during the COM
ing season. Already the jute mill has
been practically shut down for two
months, running less than day a
week on account of having no jute.
This is the season when the mill should
be kept busy making bags for next
years delivery.
Jute Supply Exhausted.
. With no jute on hand to speak Of,
and none ordered, and at least 70 days
required for supply to be secured.
when ordered, the penitentiary jute
mill is not going to be able to supply
but little of the demand for grain bags
next season. This condition was con-
firmed by Warden Kincaid, In an in
terview with the Bulletin today.
He said he was causing a statement
to be prepared that would show just
how many bags he would be able to
turn out during the balance of this
year from the supply Of jute now on
hand, but only limited number can
be made and the supply will have no
effect on the market price. During the
first two days Of his administration
Warden Kincaid sold $1,000 bags to
be delivery Immediately and he states
that this will nearly exhaust the sup
ply of jute on hand making an allow
ance for other requirements than for
grain bags. :
The failure to secure SUFFICIENT
supply Of jute Is explained by Warden
Kincaid. who was chairman Of the
board Of control UP to the time OF his
appointment as warden, on the
grounds that there was no money In
the revolving fund at the time It is
usually ordered and It has since risen
in price from SIS bale to $3.50
bale.
