Steam Dried Hay.

Each year finds the farmer more
of a mechanic, as machine after
machine appears to take the place
of the decreasing supply of manual
labor. The up-to-date farm now
has its machine shop and farmer
machinist. The farmer complains
that for five years past he has been
Obliged constantly to purchase new
labor-savint machinery. On the
other hand, had it not been for
these new inventions, many would
have been Obliged to 60 out of bus
mess.
The latest thing is steam cured
hay, which makes the farmer indie
pendent of cloudy or rainy weather
in haying time The green grass is
hauled to the hay factory, unloaded
at one end of the plant and, 80
minutes later, emerges at the other
end perfectly cured, ready for the
barn or bale press. In case of rain,
a canvas cover insures arrival at
the barn without wetting. The
farmer has about given up his time
honored trip to the "grist mill, and
here comes the hay mill. Frequent
showers make good grass, but much
of this is ruined in the process of
sun-drying. The steam drier is in
dependent of weather, and more
over turns out a better product, and
can work nights Maud Muller
might get a job checking the loads
but there isn't very much romance
about watching the steam gauge
and a lot of conveyor belts.-H. H

FUMIGATION WOULD EE PART
OF CLEANUP WORK.

Just now the insect destroyers
of human happiness are hiding
in cellars, vaults and other
dark, damp Shelters" waiting for
a good fat chance to lay the
eggs for the first summer bug
crop. It is of the utmost i'm
portance to catch the destroyer
of summer bliss and happiness
before the breeding season be-
gins.
All the feminine provokers of
cuss words which, according to
all scientific report, bear out the
theory recently advanced by
kiplins concerning the female
of the species can be put out of
the deadly class just about this
time of the year if destroyed in
their hiding places.
Fumigation is the best meth
cd known to science to kill the
alternating pests. Fumigation
should therefore be a part of the
regular work of cleanup week.
Neglected flowerpots, buckets,
barrels, broken china, chick
en- pans, water troughs, a gutter
and water spout are few of
the places in which insects
breed and should be removed.

A. .S0ULE Is PREFERRED.
Establishes Reputation In
Alma Whereby He Lands
Another Big Contract

Henry Soule signed contract with
the Libby, Mcneil and Libby Co. for
the construction of $4,000 building
at Coldwater, Michigan, making the
second big job which he will have
finished for that concern this summer.
The building will be 212 feet long by
106 feet wide, of wooden construction,
part of which will be two stories and
part one story high. Mr.. Soule will
start a force Of men on the job next
Monday morning and as soon as the
buildings arc finished here he will
take five or six Alma men with him
to work on the Coldwater job. The
building will be used for picking
kraut and must be completed as soon
as possible. Mr.. Soule has ordered
his material from Chicago.
That Mr.. Soule should succeed in
closing this job against such compe-
tition is most complimentary. Six
contractors from Chicago and Grand
Rapids bid on the job and though two
of them placed lower bids than did
Mr.. Soule, the Libby company gave
preference to the Alma man. His
work on the Alma plant has given him
an enviable reputation with the big
Chicago packing house, and they have
given tangible approval of his work.
The work on the central building
of the local Libby plant is progress
ing nicely, several more masons have
been added to the force and the walls
are rising fast.
