There are four distinct systems of
making hay, each Of which is divided
In actual practice into several meth
DDS. Loading by hand is the oldest
system and the one most generally
used in the older hay-growing sections
Of the East. Its retention in these Sec
tions is due largely to the fact that
It requires a minimum amount of
equipment, which makes it particular
ly suited to farms where only linn
tied acreage of hay is grown.
The equipment required includes
only moving machine, rake, pitchfork,
wagon and rack, and, in most cases,
unloading apparatus such as hay forks
or slings.
| Nearly everyone Is familiar with
this system, which consists merely of
pitching the hay on the wagon with
hand forks and hauling to stack or
barn, where 1t is either pitched off
by hand or unloaded with horse forks
or slings.
While 1t can be used under almost
any conditions, this system involves
large amount Of irksome hand labor,
and for this reason as well as the
greater expense of labor, 1t should be
replaced by some other system when
ever practicable.
Loading With Hay Loader.
The second system consists of load
ing the hay with hay loader. This
method Is used most largely in the
timothy and clover hay area. 1t Is
used to a certain extent In New York
and Pennsylvania, and to greater
extent In Ohio, Indiana and Iowa.
In some localities there exists a
prejudice against the loader. The
first leaders put on the market were
not mechanically perfect, and there
fore did not always give satisfaction,
and the delay caused by break-downs
influenced many to abandon their use.
Moreover, the loader often has been
used on uneven or stony ground, with
a resultant frequent breaking of vital
parts. The use of this loader, under
conditions not recommended by the
manufacturers, also has tended to linn
it its popularity.
Another, and perhaps the most i'm
portant, reason for the loader not be-
ing used more generally is that to use
Il economically the men on the wagon
must work very hard while the load
Is being put on. A study Of the use
of the loader in several states has re-
vealed the fact that the hired men as
a rule do not like to work on the load
er, and for this reason push rakes and
stackers have supplanted 1t on some
farms In the middle West.
On one farm 1t was noticed that
when the owner was absent five loads
were hauled In one afternoon, but
when the owner was present and
working on the wagon, seven loads
were taken from the field in the same
length of time.
At present there are two types of
leaders. One picks up the hay with
a revolving drum studded with spurs
of spring wire about six inches long.
The other type takes UP the hay by
means Of forkllke arrangement fas-
tened to long wooden or steel arms

After the milk is drawn no time
should be lost In straining, cooling and

a high temperature and open the more
likely it is to be contaminated with
undesirable bacteria.

The Empty
House

The little brown car had swung with
q soft humming sound down the
smooth road, and its sole occupant
was sitting with her hands In her lap,
looking dreamily out at the landscape
and the rows Of houses that they
passed.
If, as the poets say, "the eyes are
mirrors of the SOUL" then 1t was very
apparent that Elaine Hargrave was
not happy, for the sad, far-away ex-
preston on her face told Its own story.
As the machine turned the corner Of
the street, however, she began to take
more interest In her surroundings.
Suddenly she leaned forward and
spoke to the chauffeur.
"Stop, jacques she commanded,
sharply "at the house TO Let"
The brakes ground sharply, and
Elaine stepped out at once. She
looked again end drew in her breath
quickly. A wave Of crimson flooded
her face. The chauffeur wondered at
the sudden order, for they were al
ready late for dinner, and he did not
think that his mistress could possibly
want to look at this empty house.
The glory Of perfect spring day
was over all the out-of-doors. 1t seemed
a day to tempt anyone to remain in
the open, and drink in to the full the
beauties of bountiful nature, but EVIL
IDENTIFY this did not attract the girl,
for she mounted the steps of the house
at once.
She looked around at Jacques after
she had rung the bell. "Wait till I
come out" she said.
A slovenly-looking woman suddenly
appeared In response TO her ring. She
was as dusty looking somehow, as the
house was, and quite as detected look
Ing: but Elaine scarcely saw her as
she spoke:
II want to see the house." said the
girl. 'T suppose I can 20 inY'
"WeI, it's gettin' pretty hte, mum,

Breathe HyOmei for Two Minutes and Stuffed Up Head will Get Relief.

Stuffed Up Head will Get ReEicf.
 If you want to get relief from catarrh, cold in the head or from an irritating cough in the shortest time breathe t1yomei.
 It will clean out your head in two minutes and allow you to breathe freely.
 Hyomei will end cold in one day it W i'll relieve you of disgusting snuff flcs, hawking, splitting and offensive breath in d week.
 Hyomei is made chiefly from soothing, healing, a germ killing an- tiseptic, that comes from the eucalyp- tus forests of inland Australia where catarrh, asthma and consumption were never known to exist.
 Iyomei is pleasant and easy to breathe. Just pour a few drops into the hard rubber inhaler, use aS dl- rected and relief is almost certain.
 A complete Hyomei outfit, including inhaler and one bottle of Hyomel, costs but little at druggists everywhere and at The Clark X Brainerd Go. II you already own an inhaler you can get an extra bottle of Hyomei at druggists.
