an aid. Pieces OF single or board,

HERE'S ANOTHER GATE LATCH PROTECTING Hay IN STACKS
Shed or Other Place for Storing
Rough Forage Should b Part
Of Farm Equipment.

Southern farmers are VIGOROUSLY
bad stackers. Not being expert in
stack building, and possibly also on
account of the effects of moist eli
mate, they stack their hay in small
stacks. This, says Progressive Farm
er, means that large proportion OF
the hay is exposed to weatbertng. and
the loss is large. .
For these reasons, hay sheds should
and must become more numerous. 1t
would appear that the further North
we go the less objection there ought
to be to stacks, but as matter Of
fact, while the Canadians. for in.
stance, are better stackers, and have
less rainfall, they put much more Of
their hay and other crops under shell.

with hand sprayer, although an ordi-

Shovel the grain over during the ap-
plication of the spray so that every
grain becomes entirely wetted. Do
not use any more of the solution than
is necessary to do this If the grain
Is merely moist so that the grain does
not stick together it may be sown at
