UNLOADING CHUTE FOR STOCK
Device Patented by Illinois Man Is Es-

Moved Essiiy. ~

Handling of live stock. especially
hogs that are ready for market, is oft
times cruel and cause OF real tinan-
cial loss to the shipper because OF
lack of unloading facilities atsthe local
stock yards. An Illinois farmer has
patented the unloading chute shown
here. It is strong and yet light enough
to be moved freely about so that hogs
may be unloaded from the wagon on to
he level ground. Cleats prevent slip
ping of an animal that is coming down
the chute. thus reducing the possibili-
les of broken legs and bruises. The

For EattenIns sheep.

Peas are strongly recommended for
fattening sheep. When fed in combi-
nation with either corn, barley or oats,
equal parts, better gains are made
than when either of the above cereals
is fed alone. This is especially true
where timothy hay or corn stover Is
fed as roughage.

In tho course Of his conversation
with the ex-policeman tho agent said
It wal his FIRST venture in the field.
He had been a bookkeeper with a
concern that failed apd had been
unable to ind other employment
owing to his age He had answered
the cannery's advertisement and had
accepted the agency without n pre-
vious experience. He had taken $3.50
worth of orders the first week.
The ex-policeman went home and
thought over the mans venture. The
more he thought the more he was
impressed by the agents courage and
the hopelessness Of his own position.
He felt hat his own lack of nerve
was due to his inexperience in the
commercial world.
The agent had formerly been a
bookkeeper and therefore was quail
fed to buck any game he saw Mt. But
the policeman had been content to
dangle a club and to pose oil street
corners and was not suited for a bust
ness career. He had believed he must
accept some place that did not require
or truck driver.
Further reflection decided his
course. What a bookkeeper could ac-
complish in an unfamiliar line a po-
liceman could do II he made the
attempt. He went to the office of the
cannery and asked for an agency in
nearby towns.
He had reached such straits that
he could not spare the dime it would
lrequire to get to New Rochelle. He
started with his bundle of samples
at 8 o'clock in the evening and walked
as far as the city limits. He remem-
bered a warm engine room In an
apartment In The Bronx where as a
%patrolman he had spent many a cold
night. He slept In this basement that
night and the morning found him
tramping to New Rochelle. He
reached the town at 10 o'clock and
applied in the first large provision
store he came across for permission
to demonstrate his wares. This per-
