One of the first essentials to salts
factory marketing arrangements Is
standardized products. Cans. jars. and

pack, appearance, quality. and condi-

tisement in itself and often a guaranty

part of the country is stacked; and
the comparatively large acreages
| grown, plentifulness of horses, scare
ty of farm labor, and desire to make
hay with the least amount of hand la
Dor were incentives to the use Of these
| two machines.
Push rakes, also known as bull
rakes." ''go devils" "slip-arounds."
| consist Of wheelless, two, three and
fOur-wheel types. They are capable
Of handling from 600 pounds to a ton
Of hay. depending upon the type. the
skill OF the driver and the team.
There are several kinds Of Stackers,
the OvershOt and swing-around being
the most common. Homemade stack
ers are of various kinds, such as gin
poles" derrick stackers of different
kinds, and inclineS for handling hay
from the large one-ton push rakes.
The push rake and stacker make an
admirable combination. since nearly
all Of the work of getting the hay from
the field to the stack is done by horse
power. The push rake takes the hay
from the windrOw or bunch to the
stack. where it is dropped on the
stacker and elevated onto the stack
by horses.
These implements can be used with
| small crews, consisting of two men, up
to crews of twelve or more men.
BaIing Hay in the Field.
In system four the hay is baled in
| the field and push rakes and power
press are used.
The practice of baling in the field
from the windrow began in the semi
arid middle West, where there is but
little danger of rain interfering. 1t
has long been believed that hay is not
in condition to be baled until it has
gone through the "sweat" in the barn
or stack. This process is usually fin
ished from three to six weeks from the
time the hay is made.
In the West. growers of prairie and
alfalfa hay for the market realized
that if it We're possible to bale hay
| from the windroW Il considerable saw
| ing of time and labor could be made.
! This saving would consist of q large
! part of the cost of putting the hay
! into the stack. They also began 10
doubt the necessity of allowing the
hay To go through the "sweat' before
/ it could be safely baled. Repeated tri-
ais and careful study have shown that
Il good quality of hay can be made
when balcd from the windrOw under
certain conditions. At the present
time hay is being haled from the cock
in parts OF the South.
Conditions Should Be Right.
Hay haled from the windrOw often
SpoilS 50 badly that it becomes unfit
for feeding. This trouble is some
times experienced by beginners and
more especially when alfalfa or other
Iegumc hay is baled. There are three
causes for this. First. the hay will
not keep unless it is well cured in the
field, it being necessary Ia cure it out
more thoroughly than when it is TO be
put into the stack. Second. hay that
is baled when partly wet with dew or
rain is very liable to spoil. Third, hay
is liable To spoil when the bales are
improperly stored by being packed
away close together. In many cases if
the bales are placed on edge with an
air space of an inch or two between
and the next layer placed crOsswist
with spaces there will be much less
danger of heating and spelling.

The cables were q few points better than due and first prices were three points lower on March but gradually 2 to 10 points higher. Further scattering March liquidation was well enough absorbed to send the price up 8 to 9 points from the opening figures and there was some trade buying of later months with May selling at 29.57 and July 29.06 shortly after the call. or some 7 to 10 points above last nights closing figures
 There was a spurt of covering later which sent May up to 29.7O and July to 2917, or Is to 22 points net higher Reports that hostilities might be re- sumed between Russia and Germany were probably a factor on the advance but buying soon tapered off and reac- tions of to points followed on pri- vate reports of rain at Houston.
 No fresh feature developed during the early afternoon and the market was quiet but steady with active months ruling about 10 to 17 point net higher.

What War Does

For those who go to war the victory Is not always to the strong nor the race to the swift. One of the seeming. ly, paradoxical things taught by the conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the rigors of war almost uni formly developed into tough and reli- able soldiers, often more so than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many man who had been umid and considered himself coward was in reality braver than the swashbuckler who had sneered at him back home. Men who have been disgraceful fail. ures in civil life have been converted in the f1re of war into leaders Of high ability.

Sellers were scarce Opening prices, which ranged from the same as yesterdays figures to Is cent higher, with March $1.27 5-8 and May $1.25 7-8 to $1.26 were followed by slight gains all around.
 Influenced by purchasing by big commission houses, oats touched the highest prices yet this seaon. Profit taking however caused a sharp reac- tion. After opening Is to 1-2 cent up the market dropped to below yester. days close. Higher quotations on hogs lifted provisions. Offerings were light.
 Additional gains were scored after midday but were not fully held.
 Later the market eased off owing to 8 new order prohibiting the re-loading of grain cars for eastern shipments. instead, western owned cars emptied
