HAULING STOCK TO MARKET
II VIII Pay Small Producer to Have
Loading Chute for Loading and
Unloading From Wagon.

The farmer, especially the small pro-
Queer OF stock, will often find II con-
yenlent to load and unload stock from
the wagon. A few hogs are sold to be
delivered at the nearest shipping point,
and, OF course, the seller il expected
to deliver the stock to the shipping
yards or scale yards. This demands
the loading and unloading from the
farm wagon. 1t will pay to have
good, substantial loading chute for the
farm. with hurdle fence to hold stock
while being loaded and unloaded in the
barnyard or feed lot.
This is a simple contrivance and not
expensive, but should be strong and
durable 30 as to last for many years.
1t will pay for itself every year. There
are cheap. insecure, frail chutes made
and there are substantial ones, which
are the cheapest In the end
This is only one of the conveniences
that every farm should be supplied
with. and not depend on borrowing
from a neighbor. The wagon frame
for hauling hogs or cattle is also a
great convenience and should be on
every farm, and for each wagon on
the farm These should be stored
away in the wagon shed when not In
use.
There are some very convenient
frames for hauling stock that can bs
readily adjusted to any wagon. Th'
convenience OF having such a device
that is secure, light and easily adjusted
is the admonition at this time. Farm
conveniences should be added as raI
idly as circumstances will permit. an
when secured carefully preserved 9
as to demand no more expense.

Before the dairy COW is taken from
the pasture. the barn should be thor
oughly and systematically cleaned. All
cobwebs should be brushed down and
the walls and ceiling should be white
washed or painted some light color.
Either whitewash or paint will give
a clean surface and make the whole
stable look lighter and brighter. It
might be well, too, to put in a few eX-
ira windows.
