Accurate weights cannot be obtained
on scales that are out OF repair.
Wagon scales should be inspected fire.
quently by a competent inspector and
care should be taken to see that they
are in proper adjustment and balance
before weighing any lot or load OF
hay.
Care must be taken also to see that
the load IS In proper position upon
the scales. The load should not bind
upon the scale box or building, and
If the team eXerts any effect upon the
load 1t should be unhitched.
When obtaining the tare weight the
weigher should be certain that the
wagon contains the same equipment
as when the gross weight was OBJ
taned. A good rule is to remove ev-
erything but the necessary equipment
from the load before weighing.
Keep Bale Check When Loading.
If the producer or shipper loads the
hay directly into the cars care is espe-
cially necessary to compute the total
weight correctly. Leads are frequent
ly distributed in two or more cars
because of the variation in the quail
ity of the hay. If the bales are
tagged a careful record should be
kept of the bales placed in each car.
If not tagged, the part of the load
placed In each car should be weighed
separately A careful check Of the
total number of bales placed in each
car should also be kept so that the
shipper may have the proper data
upon which to base a claim should
any loss occur while the hay Is moving
to market
The following suggestions, If fol-
lowed, will greatly assist in eliminat-
ing some Of the troubles caused by
improper weighing methods:
When using tag weights record the
actual current weight.
Have wagon scales in proper adjust
ment and balance.
See that wagon contains same equip
ment when weighing both the gross
and tare weight.
When loading two or more cars
keep careful record of hay loaded in
each car.
Always keep bale record, together
with weight record, Of each car.

Even a sick child loves the "fruity"
taste Of "CalifOrnia Fig Syrup" If the
little tongue is coated, or if your child
is listless, cross, feverish. full of cold,
or has collie, a teaspoonful will never
fail to open the bowels. In few
hours you can see for yourself how
thoroughly it works all the constipa-
tion poison, sour bile and waste from
the tender, little bowels and gives you
a well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers keep "California

spoonful today saves a sick child to-
morrow. Ask your druggist for genuine
"California Fig Syrup" which has di-
rections for babies and children of all
ages printed on bottle. Mother! You
must say "California" or you may get

A great deal Of trouble and none
tary loss sustained by producers and
shippers in marketing hay has been
found by the bureau of markets and
crop estimates. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, to be due to
careless weighing.
Weighing by the Bale.
In several sections of the country
1t is the custom to weigh hay by the
bale at the time for baling and TO note
the weight upon d tag made of card
board or other convenient material at
tached TO the bale beneath one of the
bale ties. When weighing by this
method great care should be taken to-
weigh the hay accurately. During the
rush Of taling operations sufficient
time Is frequently not allowed for the
scales to come TO a balance and there
may be as much as ten pounds diff
ference between the actual and the
catch weight
writing the correct weight upon the
tag. say the bureaus specialists. 1t
Is the common practice in some sec
tionS to use only. numbers ending in
0 or in recording the weight, and
to give or take from the actual weight
sufficient amount to make a number
with such an ending. For example,
the weight Of 4 bale weighing 81
pounds is written as 60 pounds and
that of one weighing GS pounds as 20
pounds. The tendency, however. IS
ito take more frequently than "to
give" so that it is a better practice
TO state the actual weight upon the
tag.
Another practice which Is often
charged back to the producer in low
er prices or in weight claims, dispro-
portionate TO the actual loss, is the
use at a much later date of tag
weights placed upon the hay at the
time Of baling. Unless hay has been
thoroughly cured and has been in
the NOW or stack for a considerable
tiiut lHtit lS llhtly tU De IL lOSS Ill
weight while hay Is in storage after
ballng, due to additional loss of mois-
ture. Each purchaser desires, and has
a right to obtain, the actual quantity
of hay for which he pays If bales
are short of the weight specified upon
the tags there are grounds for claim,
either in the form of price conces-
sion or of a weight claim. In either
case the adjustment of the claim is
likely to be less economical to the
producer than the actual rewelghing
OF the hay. The producer or shipper
should be prepared to prove that the
weight of the hay at the time of sale
is correct and as indicated upon the
tag.
Careless weighing on wagon scales
causes as much difficulty as careless
weighing by any other method. One
Of the principal causes of unsatisfac-
tory weights upon wagon scales is lack
Of proper care of the scales and of
the necessary attention to keep them
In repair and III good working order.

ONE MAN KILLED, 27 INJURED
 IN WRECK ON THE L., l.. W.

Scranton, Pa July 22.-One person was killed and 27 others were injured several of them seriously, this afternoon when the Lackawanna Limited, one of the fastest trains of the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western Railroad was wrecked twelve miles west of this city. The train was hound from New York to Chicago.
 Charles Coolbaugh, Scranton, engi- neer of the wrecked train, was so badly scalded that he died within two hours.
 The cause of the accident has not been determined, one story, being that the pony trucks of the engine left the tracks and that another that a piston rod broke As the engine left the rails, talk ing the baggage car mail car and two day coaches filled with passengers along with freight train travelling east at a rapid rate crashed into the wreckage. Close examination of the roadbed. off, cials said, showed the accident was caused by an inch and a half nut which had been dropped or placed on top of the rail. The hattened nut was found i near the point where the locomotive left the track while the imprint of it was plainly discernible on top of the rail.
 The train which was running fifty miles an hour at the time ran over the ties nearly two. hundred feet before 1t toppled over.

JAnER HAS SURRENDERED
 THE AMHERST GODDESS


 Waterbury, Conn, July abrina. world famous goddess of the even nu- neral classes at Amherst college, who 10 rthe past year has been in possession of the odd classes, was captured We'd nesday night in Litchfeld where she had been hidden in a solitary confne ment cell for safe keeping. Lieutenant Governor Templeton of Connecticut with Judge Arthur F. Els, of Waterbury 1902 Amherst graduate, were the lead CT of the small party that entered the Jail and persuaded Jailor Todd that they must have the statue.
 Lieut. Governor Templeton, who pre- sumably was on tour of inspection. was finally brought to the dungeon where the nude goddess reposed and af- ter convincing the jailor that he meant to rescue Sabrina, ordered Judge Els to drive his automobile around to the back door of the jail. The goddess was placed in the tonneau and the party then drove rapidly away place her in hiding and the safe keeping of the even classes.
 The Heutenant-sovernor, although not an Amherst man. has quantities of sport ing blood which were aroused when Judge Els told him the traditional tale of the Amherst goddess and asked his assistance in rescuing her from the Lttchfleld jail where he had heard she was hidden. The sortie on the jail was carefully planned and the capture ef- fected, which will cause rejoicing among all Amherst men who belong to even year classes.
