Thousands Of farmers who faced the
harvesting Of large hay crop last year
with fewer hands than usual to help do
the work owe their success in handling
and saving their crop to hay stackers.
The hay stacker Is to stacking what the
horse fork is to putting hay in the barn,
a saver Of man and labor. It lifts the
hay on the stack by horse power in
stead Of man power. When hay Is load
ed on the wagon by hand and unloaded
by a stacker one-half Of the hand labor
is eliminated. If push rakes or hay
leaders are used In connection with the
stacker the laborious task Of pitching
by hand is entirely avoided.
Useful In East and South.
In the East and South, where much
Of the hay grown is stored under cover,
a stacker could be used to advantage
when it becomes necessary. to stack,
especially where labor is scarce. A boy
who can drive 4 team can take the
place Of q man In the haying opera
ton. Two men and boy using a load
er and stacker will handle about Is per
cent more hay for each man during a
day than three-man crew loading and
unloading by hand. - r.
Hay stackers are classed In two gen.
eral. types, one having teeth on which
the hay is gathered and brought to the
stack ON push racks; the other con-
sisting Of stackers that do not receive
hay directly from push racks. but ham
die 1t. by means Of horse forks or
slings. Both types are comparatively
inexpensive and can usually be made
at home with material that Is available
or which can be readily assembled on

The Aroostook type of storage house,
with concrete or masonry basement
walls and wooden superstructure. is
distinctively a product Of Maine and
confined largely to that state. 1t Is
expensive and is always located on
a side hill or knoll in order that adj
vantage may be taken Of ground level
entrance. The Easements are usually
from to II feet deep. and most of
them have a capacity Of several thou
sand barrels. Generally the only pro-
vision for ventilation is by trapdoors
In the floor through which the filling
of the bins is completed. Occasional
" a ventilator is found in the roof.
These houses, although practical in
Maine, will never supersede the dugout
pit or storage cellar now used in the
middle and far western states. Each
of these types of storages has distinc-
tive features which peculiarly adapt 1t
to its own environment, but do not
necessarily preclude use in other To-
calities.
The artificially refrigerated potato
storage house is confined practically
to the storage Of northern-grown seed
potatoes held in cold storage for sec
ond-crop planting In the South. There
is little demand for such house In
northern sections. but 1t is thought
that community cold-storage plants of
this type could be profitably used by
the southern truck growers. as they
could purchase their supplies of seed
in the fall and have them delivered be-
. fore the arrival of cold weather. The
seed potatoes could be stored through
out the winter In the house and be
available in excellent condition when
desired the following season.

The silo's the thing.
The early threshed barley usually

All Of the vegetables raised In the

Soils that have no crop on them, Or
the harvest fields as soon as the grain

Vegetables in the late summer gar

check in order to obtain satisfactory
results.
It takes care and attention to Inn

shoveling silage out Of silo is

the country of German civilians but
the difficulties encountered are for

sirables are escorted to their frontier

$50 Long Lefty"


Press agents have a habit, more or
less, of foisting statistics off upon the
unsuspecttng, but occasionally these
figures are interesting. For instance,
q discussion of just how much ground
Charlotte Greenwood covers in $50
Long Lefty" which will be seer at
the Met. Thursday, March 20.
Miss Greenwood is never still be-
hind the footlights and continually
fits from point to point. The actress
explains this restiveness by calling at
tention to the fact that the stage folk
who display pep are far more in
~teresting than the p%onderous slow
moving Individual. When Miss Green
wood was asked how much distance
she covered during each performance,
she replied:
"Of course I can't give the exact
figures, for I really have given very
little thought to it until now. How
ever, I do try to fill the stage when
ever possible for I know that the
audience is relieved by a change of
background as we'll as by some signs
of life on the part Of the player. In
the two acts Of S Long Lefty I
cross and recross the stage about one
hundred times. Computed into lineal
distance, this ground would be about
q mile. With the distanceof my high
kicks. to and from the dressing room
at each cue, and otherwise, I believe
I must kick, walk, run or jump at
least two miles a performance."

THE L-UAlBERA1EN's SHACK.

While this great fight with Uncle
Porcupine and the three dogs was
going on. Cousin Bruin and his three
SONS moved quietly through the
woods. You have heard how quietly
an Indian car travel and not break
q !twig, or make q sound when on the
war path: just 50 could Cousin
Bruin move. and SO he had trained
his two sons to move. They glided
with incredible stiffness.
A trout, stream ran through. tho
woods, and these three Bears sta
toned themselves at n side Of It.
The noon was still shining brightly.
They. were as still as mice. Soon q
big trout passed, or tried to pass.
and by q skillful flip, Cousin Bruin
tossed him to shore. and before he
could mop back into the water. he
was grabbed and eaten This sport
the Bears followed for some time.

to his Hemlock Apartment; but these
two youngsters never had enough Of
2 good time.
Soon. they came out into a little
clearing, and there stood a lumber
mans little shack! Cousin Bruin
was delighted; he remembered

he was on the roof, and tearing at

happy.
But they found that this barrel was
really not a pork barrel. but q,

like molasses, so he gave a shout Of
JOY and helped to pull out the cork.
And how those red tongues did lap
up that molasses, as 1t flowed out
on the ground! They ate and ate
and ate. .
"Now Mother Bear will be sorry
she did not come with us!'' said Cou-
sin Bruin.
And Jimmie Coon said: when
Father Coon hears this. he will wish
he hadn't gone home so soon!"
What do you suppose the owners
of that molasses will do when they
see that it has been stolen-and their
shack broken into? That is another
story.

An idea Of the number Of Germans

what they thought would be their

The case OF German subjects who
have resided in Belgium for long

REPORT is NOT TRUE.

It was officially announced today that
the report that Ecuador had asked
President Wilson to act as arbitrator
in her boundary dispute with Peru
was without foundation. 1t is ex-
planned that such a step might be
considered as seriously compromising
the governments position with the
Ecuadorean congress before it had
had a chance to pass on the league
of nations project.
