part of the country is stacked; and
the comparatively large acreages
grown, plentifulness of horses. scare
ity 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 s'bull
rakes," ''go devils" "slip-arounds,"
consist of wheelless, two, three and
four-wheel types They are capable
of handling from 600 pounds to 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 baIed 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. II
has long been believed that hay is moi
in condition to be baled until it has
gone through the ''sweat'' in the barr
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 an,
alfalfa hay for the market realized
that if it were possible to bale hay
from the windrow considerable say
ing of time and labor could be made
This saving would consist of a larg'
part of the cost of putting the ha,
into the stack. They also began t,
doubt the necessity of allowing tht
hay to go through the .'sweat" befor,
it could be safely baled. Repeated tri
ais and careful study have shown tina
a good quality of hay can be mad
when baled from the wiRdrow unde
certain conditions. At the presen
time hay is being baled from the cocl
in parts of the South.
Conditions Should Be Right
Hay baled from the windrow- 0ftel
spoils so badly that it becomes unfi
J for feeding. This trouble is some
!, times experienced by beginners an
more especially when alfalfa or othe
! legume hay is baled. There are thre
. causes for this. First, the hay vii
not keep unless it is well cured in tn
field, it being necessary to cure it on
| more thoroughly than when it is to
; put into the stack Second, hay tha
. is baled when partly wet with dew 0
7 rain is very liable to spoil. Third, ha
: is liable to spoil when the bales ar
. improperly stored by being packe
away close together. In many cases
the bales are placed on edge with a

CHAPTER xI.


Fortune Kicks Again
TT was past noon when Ward rode
down the steep slope to the creek
bank just above his cabin. He was
sunk deep In that mental depression
which so often follows close upon tine
heels OF a great 0utburst Of passion.
Mechanically he twitched the reins and
sent Rather down the last shelf Of bank
--and he did not look up to see just
where he was. Rather was we. train
ed horse, since he was Wards. He
obeycd the rein signal and stepped of a
two foot bank into a nest Of bose piled
rocks that slid treacherously under his
feet. Sure footed, though he was, he
stumbled and fell, and II was sheer in
stlnct that took Wards feet from the
stirrups in time.
Ward sprawled among the rocks,
dazed. The shock of the fall took him
out OF his ne OF abstraction and he
pulled away from Rather as the horse
scrambled up and stood shaking before
him. He tried TO scramble up also.
Ward sat and stared stupidity at his
lef. leg where, midway between his knee
aud his foot, It turned out at an unnat-
ural angle He thought resentfully that
h, had had enough trouble for once
without having a broken leg on top of
II all.
Now this is one deuce OF fixr' he
stated dispassionately. when pain had
in measure cooled his first anger. He
looked around him like a man who is
taking stock of his resources. He was
not far from the cabin. He could gel
there by crawling. But what then?
Ward looked at Rather, standing do
cilely within reach Of his hand. HI
considered getting on-if he could, ant
riding-well, the nearest place was fif
teen miles. And that was a good, loni
way from a doctor. He glarced again
at the cabin and tried to study the sit
uation impersonally. IL 1t were SOM
other fellow, now, what would War,
advise him to do under the circum
stances9
He reached down and felt his le
gingerly. SO far as he could tell 1t wa
a straight, simple break-snapped shor
on against a rock, he judged. He shool
his head over the thought Of riding fl
teen miles with those broken bone
grinding their edges together. An
still. what else could he do?
He reached out, took the reins an
led Rattler step nearer so that b
could grasp the stirrup. With his voic
lie held the horse quiet while he pulle
himself upright upon his good lei
Then, with pain hurried, jerky NOV
ments he pulled or the saddle, glance
around him and flung II behind buc
brush. He slipped on the bride, fun
that after the saddle and gave Rattle
a slap ON the rump. The horse move
away and Ward stared after him viii

Temptinu Natives 70 worL,

Tempting natives of British New
Guinea to work was a process which
was explained during the hearing of
q case in London recently. A man who
has lived many years there said that
he had solved very difficult labor
problem in New Guinea. The men
could not be tempted to work for
money, and he hit upon the idea of Of
fering them beads, gaudy cloths, dogs
teeth and musical instruments. To get
these they worked for q twelvemonth
and then induced others to do likewise.

and sucked them to quench his thirst.
Days when the tomatoes and peaches
were frozen in the cans so that ne
chewed jerked venison and ate crackers
rather than chill his stomach with the
icy stuff.
Day by day the little notches and the
longer ones reached farther and farther
along the window sill until Ward be-
gan to foresee the time when he must
start a new row. Day by day his
cheek bones grew more clearly defined,
his eyes bigger and more wistful. Day
by day his knuckles stood up sharper
when he closed his hands, and day by
day nature worked upon his hurt, knit
ting the bones together.

One of the first essentials to salts
factory marketing arrangements Is
standardized products. Cans. jars, and
other containers should be uniform in
pack, appearance, quality, and eondi-

label or brand will then be an adver-
tisement in itself and often guaranty

Victory. Sunday
Nov. 18th
A Proclamation By Governor
Albert E. Sleeper.

The tragic war, which for fifty-one
months has rocked the foundations OF
the earth, is over. One hundred and
fifty-five billions of dollars have been
spent, forty millions OF men have been
under arms and more than eight mil
lion human lives have been sacrificed.
But now peace has come to calm the
world, and it is fitting, while we mourn
for those who have yielded up their
lives in the cause of Democracy, that
we should rejoice and give thanks for
peace with victory.
Therefore, l, Albert E. Sleeper,
Governor of the State of Michigan, do
hereby designate and proclaim Sunday
November seventeenth next, VICTORY
SUNDAY; and call upon the people of
Michigan to gather on that day in their
accustomed places of worship, and
there by prayer and praise to render
thanks to Almighty God for the triumph
of our cause and the restoration OF
peace on earth.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State this twelfth day of
November, in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and eighteen,
and of the Commonwealth the eighty
second.

Flour Substitute
Ban Is Off
Wars Ending Brings Further
Joy to Mrs. Housewife.

The ban is off. The nondelicious
substitute with wheat flour has passed
at least until another food emergency
arises-if that time ever comes.
Food Administrator Prescott received
telegram from the national depart
ment at Washington, Tuesday, declar-
ing the substitute order had been re.
pealed.
"The order requiring a certain
amount of substitutes must be pur-
chased with each allotment of flour
taken has been rescinded," the ma
tional department telegraphed. .'No-
tify all dealers, order Immediately ef-
fective."
Mr.. Prescott started the state ma
chinery at once, getting out copies of
the order, which will be mailed to deal
ers.
No more joyous news, it is said could
come to the housewife, following the
close of the great war. For more than
one year, in order to conserve the food
supply, and especially the wheat pro-
duct the government has required that
a certain percentage of substitutes be
taken with each purchase of flour
Many learned to prepare the substi-
tutes into delicious dishes. They
relished the substitutes. Others gave
little heed, except to comply with the
order, hoping, wishing for the time
when the substitute order would be
abolished.
Dealers, it is said, will be relieved of
great deal of labor with the lifting of
the substitute ban. Many of the diff
ferent kinds of substitutes will not
have to be kept in stock.
