upper end of No. 10; and when the
stacker is halfway down the weight
box, No. "A, should be just clear Of the
ground.
No IA is the weight-box, and should
be made of pinch stuff, about s to 10
inches deep, and about feet square );
it 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 filled 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. Is, and down to the
center of stacker head No. 3. The pull
legs on the frame of the stacker should
be attached by means of wooden blocks
with a notch cut out so that the pulley
can fit between the block and frame.
Pulleys for this purpose are 6 inches
in diameter and made Of turned hard
wood These are fastened in place by
means of a hard wood pin for an axle.
The puIleys 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 Oh the stacker
can be made of by finch 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 )
feet long. They are bOlted to the long
teeth about 2 inches from the stacker
head, No 5, and rest against the stack
er head. No. C. The stacker arms, No.
should be bolted to No. . with a large
bolt about - inches from the ground

Leftover Eggs.

Eggs that have been hard-bo1led and
sent to the table and untouched can be
sliced and dressed with mayonnaise
Fried eggs can be run through a food
chopper, mixed with potatoes and
rocked in potato balls. Poached eggs

WreckiEg WindmiIIs.

The passing Of the windmill in Eng
land, Anticipated by such recent power
producers as the gas engine and cleo
trio motor, has given life to 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 lime floors, fitted with
four run of stones, and contained tons
upon tons of brick. Often these huge
mills stand close to other buildings.

would be inevitable if the wreckers did
not have eXDerience in their tasks

Fight the Late Weeds.

The late weeds in the garden-those
that come in August and September
are the ones that produce seed before
the fact is noticed, and thus stock the
ground with weeds next year. The gar
den is often neglected late in the sum-
mer. but it should be kept clear of
weeds until the frost, and the result
will be a great saving of labor in the
growing of small fruits and vegetables.

gressive farmer every time.
Too much water and wet. musbv

Paint costs pretty high these DAYS.
but it will pay in the long run in saw

The man who cannot kick the hired
man harder than the hired man kicks
the COW doesn't deserve the name of

Make up your mind that you will not
get mad and misuse the calf you are
trying TO teach to drink, no matter
what the little fellow may do. Be pa
tient. You will think more of the calf,
and surely of yourself.
Do not make the mistake of filling
the silo with corn that is green. It
sours quickly and has little feeding
value. Wait till it is ripe
Be liberal With the use OF kerosene
about the place 4 good way to use it
is with q spray pump. Send it into

1t is all right to fix up the old har-
ness, rather than to spend money for a
new one, providing you can make il
good and safe. But don't run any risks.

to work with an old, tender harness.

Leather Horseshoes in Australia.

In some parts of Australia the horse is
shod with leather instead of iron, the
feet receiving better support; but this nov
city is employed only in regions where
the groui.d is permanently covered with
grass or fine sand. Though the leather
shoe is more expensive than the iron shoe
the higher price is repaid by the superior
advantages. 1t is not impossible the in
novation will soon extend to every coun-
try where the nature of the soil permits
it to be used.-BrItish Australian.

Summer Work With Poultry.

Hot suns debilitate fowls, increase
the army of lice, cripple egg production
and cause trouble in many other ways
You cannot control the sun, but you
can control Ike power Of it, as far as
your poultry is concerned.
Provide shade Tree shade is the
best, but if there are no trees in the
runs then the next best thing is to erect
canopies of some kind.
Have places provided so that the
fowls and chicks cannot only get into
the shade during the hot weather, but
have a place Of refuge during rainy,
stormy days.
Cut down the supply of heat-produc-
ing grains in the diet and feed literally
of green food.
AS they mature separate the cock
eres from the pullets and give the for
mer all extra allowance, as they will
stand more forcing.
1t is advisable each week to gather
up all hens that are becoming broody
and put them in a separate coop where
no nests are provided. With this
change it will require but a week to
break them from their broOdy instincts
and they Will go back to laying again.
