upper end of No. 49, and when the
stacker is halfway down the weight
box, No. IA, should be just clear of the
ground.
No. IA is the weight-box, and should
be made of pinch STUFF, about 8 to 10
inches deep, and about feet square ];
1t must be well spiked together. The
Idea of the weight is to start the
stacker back to the ground as soon as
the load is delivered from it on to the
stack, and when the stacker is halfway
to the ground, the weight acts as a
brake for the other half of the way
down. The box is filed WITH stones.
The rope which attaches the weight
box to the stacker should be three
quarter inch. passing from the weight
up between the two pulleys ON the up
per end of No. 13, and down to the
center of stacker head No. 5. The pull
leys on the frame of the stacker should
be attached by means of wooden blocks
with notch cut out 50 that the pulley
can fit between the block and frame.
.PulIeys for this purpose are inches
in diameter and made of turned hard
wood. These are fastened IL place by
means of hard wood pin for an axle.
The pnlleys should be kept well oiled
to keep them from calking
The rope for raising the stacker
should be either inch or inch and a
quarter. The teeth on the stacker
can be made of 2 by 4-inch pine scant-
ling, 10 feet long and bevelled on the
upper side to allow the hay to slide
on easily. The short upright teeth on
the stacker head should be about 5
feet long. They are bolted to the long
teeth about inches from the stacker
head, No. 8, and rest against the stack
err head. No. 6. The stacker arms, No.
4 should be bolted to No. 9 with a large
bolt, about II inches from the ground

The passing of the windmill In Eng
land, antiquated by such recent power
producers as the gas engine and cleo
trio motor has given life to q new in
dustry- windmill wrecking. The old
windmill builders understood their
business and meant their handiwork
to last, and SO the demolishing of such
structures is no simple task. Many of
the old mills stood 100 feet high and
had eight or nine floors, fitted witb
four run of stones, and contained tons
upon tons of brick. Often these huge
mills stand close to other buildings.
and, says Popular Mechanics, accidents
would be inevitable If the wreckers did
not have experience in their tasks.

Jack, who had found her bewitching
even in her willfulness, could only
doubly adore her in her enchanting

A few minutes later they walked into
a circular space, where bench stood

looked at each other.

cried happily. And now we're farther
