turns. The guy wire, a, must be
strong and we'll anchored. as upon
same the load must draw. The two
guy ropes, b and c, are tied to posts
and arranged as follows: When the
pole is exactly over the wagon the
guy rope, C, must be tight. but when
the pole is swung over the center Of
stack the guy rope, b, is tight, and
the one at c Is loose. These prevent
the pole or derrick from swinging too
far.
The hay fork is attached by pulleys
or blocks, on top of pole; n on
the fork and the other about five feet
from the ground on the pole. The
horse is attached at d. The method
of operating is simple. When the fork
is loaded, the horse is driven directly
toward post a, until the load will
clear the top of the stack, then the
horse is swung to the left or toward
post C, thus drawing the pole and load
over until it is exactly in the center
of the stack, where it is tripped. This
can be set up in a few moments time
and works both rapidly and easily, as
pole will swing from load to stack
and back again with but slight pres

fastened tight, but room left for the
pole to turn as desired.

BOXES FOR THE BRIDES CAKE
Come in All Shapes and Sizes, and

The statement that 1t is not what
is done, but how 1t is done, that
counts, verges on the trite; but 1t IS
particularly applicable in the little
things that contribute toward a pleas

guests and friends Of the happy pair.

reach of the majority Of brides.

are placed In the ground at q dis
lance apart that equals twice the
length the stack or rick Is to be built.
These posts are strongly secured by
guy ropes or wire to posts set In the
ground, as shown in illustration, also
a wire connects the two posts. When
these are all drawn tight the posts
are rigid and will stand an even heav-
Ter load than 1t will be possible to
place on them.
At the top of each post a pulley Is
placed, and at the bottom OF post,
where the wagon is to drive, a third
pulley Is fastened. Above the hay
fork a fourth pulley is fastened and
the main rope tied to the hay fork
beneath same. This rope then runs
through the pulley on left-hand post
back through the pulley on hay fork
and through the pulley on right-hand
post, as we'll as down through the
pulley at bottom and to which the
w%hifIletree is attached, as shown at a.
The result is that the load Is drawn
UPWARD to nearly~a level and then
WINS along the rope until you trip or
dump the fork, thus enabling you to
land the load upon any portion of the
stack you wish.
The method shown in Fig. 2 is more
simple, and for a small stack works
equally as well. The pole is consider
ably longer than the height of stack,

FOR LITTLE CHICKENS.
Almost Any Wholesome Food VIII
Do If They Are Well Brooded
and Are Strong.

Almost any wholesome feed will do
for chicks if they are well brooded or
cooped and have a strong hold on life
naturally, says a writer in New Eng
land Homestead. The most successful
chicken raiser | know is my neighbours
wife, who raises her chicks with prac-
tically no losses and feed nothing but
cornmeal dough until the chicks are
big enough to eat wheat and cracked
corn. At the other extreme some sue
cessful poultrymen must have special
feedstuffs and a grain mixture that
carries about every known seed that
chicks will eat before they feel that
they have deserve dsuccess. All OF

Still a ration of cornmeal dough Is

cessful with it, there are other feeds
that are safer. Bread soaked In milk
or rolled oats rubbed up with hard
boiled egg are better starters, and
chick feed is certainly better than
whole wheat or cracked corn alone.
Dry feeding means feeding whole
grains (chick feed) and dry mash, and
is a very good way If 1t Is necessary
to save time, but the chicks are not
likely to grow as fast as with a judi
cious use of wet mash. There is moth
ing dangerous about the wet mash II
it is not too wet and the surplus is
removed after the chicks are through.
Young chicks need four meals a day
until four or FIVE weeks old. After
that it is safe to give them self-feeders
and let them have all they will eat.

Old Mother Earth Hides Her Age

e of the Earth" from a more philo-
sophical point of view
The age of the earth always has
been a subject for discussion among
men of science and largely without
any definite agreement among the
representatives of the different
branches of studies on account OF the
different points of attack.
Briefly, the more recent discussions
as to the earth's age have placed the
time as follows:
Lord Kelvin, in 1863, estimated the
earth's age at 100000 900 to 40.0O0.0Oo
and perhaps s 5000, 900 years.
Clarence King and Carl Barus, In
1888, placed the age at 2~4.0O0.0Oo
years.
Lord Kelvin in 1897 revised his fig
ures from 10000. 900 to 4O.000.000
years.
De Lapparent, in 1890, said 1t was
CT. O00, 900 to 10000, 900 years.
Charles D. Walcott, secretary OF the
Smithsonian Institution, In 1893, placed
the maximum age at 100000 years.
J. Jolly, in 1899, estimated the age
Of the ocean at 80.o0O,0O 0 to 100000 900
years.
W. j. sollas, in 1909. placed the
age of the ocean at 100000 to 150,-

General Wood May Stir Up the Army

reer. 1t is expected he will under
take most actively "a number Of re-
forms which might not meet with the
approval Of the army at large.
One Of the questions which will be
taken up by General Wood is the
physical test of officers. Since Presi-
dent Roosevelt i~naugurated this Nsys-
TEN, many officers have been hoping
that it would be modified. General
Wood Is one of the foremost Of phys
ical culture enthusiasts.
Instead Of being made milder, It II
not unlikely that the tests will be
made harder than ever. The detail
Of troops to the Philippines Is an
other matter that will be disposed Of
by General Wood very soon. He has
also q number Of ideas regarding CO
operation between the regular army
and the militia which he will prob.
ably attempt to put into practise.
General Carter, who has been act
ing chief Of stan, win take his place
as assistant chief. General Bliss,
whom he succeeds. Will go to San
Francisco to relieve General Barry,
who takes command Of West Point.

Two Groups of Insects.

There are two groups of insects. d.
vided according to the general form
Of their mouths, namely, biting insects
and sucking insects. The former have
mouth parts adapted for chewing their
food, the latter for sucking their food.
The potato beetle is a biting insect,
the plant louise a sucking insect. Bit
ing insects may be destroyed by ap-
plying poison to the plants upon which
they feed. Sucking insects are killed
by insecticides coming into contact
with their bodies. There are some
insects also which may be driven
away by treating the plant with sub
stances offensive to them, for In
stance Bordeaux mixture will drive
away certain flea beetles.
