Prepared by the United States Department

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
II Is the custom to weigh hay by the
bale at the time for baling and to note
the weight upon a. tag made of card
board or other convenient material at
tached 10 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 baIing 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.
Special care should also be taken in
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 5 In recording the weight, and
to give or take from the actual weight
q sufficient amount to make a number
with such an ending. For example,
the weight of a bale weighing 81
pounds is written as 85 pounds and
that Of one weighing 6S pounds as 10
pounds. THE tendency, however, is
ito take" more frequently than Ito
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-
p~ortlonafe 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 NOV or stack for a considerable
time there is likely to be a loss In
weight while hay is in storage after
baling, due to additional loss of mois-
ture. Each purchaser desires, and has
q 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 a claim,
either in the form of a price eonces-
sion or 81 a weight claim. In either
case the adjustment of the claim Is
likely to be less economical to the
of the hay. The producer or shipper
should be prepared to prove that the
weight of the hay at the time of sale

TOM HIGGINS GREATEST FIGHT
WITH THE INDIANS

Tom Higgins was a noted Illinois
ranger during the Wan of 1872. One
morning near Fort Hills the Indians
ambushed Toms company n killed
several Of them. AS they fled to the
fort, Higgins stayed behind, yOwing
that ne would get at least one Indian
before he retreated. He got his In
dian, but just as he was preparing to
mount his horse, Ranger Burgess, who
was lying ON the ground wounded,
called out to him: You won't leave
me to the Indians, will you, TomT'
Higgins stopped and attempted to
lift Burgess onto his horse, but the
frightened animal jerked the reins
from Toms hand and dashed madly
away.
You'll have to try to crawl to the
fort, Burgess" said Tom, and | will
stay behind and keep redskins off"
As Burgess crawled away, Higgins
ran in another direction to lead the
approaching Indians away from his
wounded eomrade. In a few minutes
he was surrounded by the savages and
they wounded him in the leg as he fed
into a deep ravine. He was nearing
the fort when three Indians rose up
before him. One of them fired and
the ranger fell, wounded for the sec
ond time.
With a wild yell the Indians rushed
at him with uplifted tOmahawks, but
Higgins rose once more and shot one
of them dead. The other two then at
tackled him with spears and toma-
hawks. Tom defended himself with
his knife until he was knocked { the
ground by a blow from a tomahawk
which cut off one of his ears.
Finally the ranger tore a spear from
the grasp of one of the Indians and
thrust it through the body of the 9th
er. He was pulled to his feet as the
savage fell. The surviving warrior re-
treated toward his rifle and Tom, un-
daunted by his wounds, staggered aft
er him. The unequal combat had been
seer by the people in the fort. but they
were afraid TO come to his assistance
until a brave woman, named Mrs.
Pursley, cried OUT: 81 will no see
sBch a brave naan die!"
She sprang upon a horse and started
to Higgins aid. Shamed by her ex-
ample, several men galloped after her.
They reached the ranger just as a
large party of Indians were ready to
swoop dow upon him. They threw
Higgins, fainting from loss of blood,
across a horse and carried him back
TO the fort in safety.
Higgins did not recover from his
wounds for many years, but in his old
age he was given a pension for his
heroic act and was made a doorkeeper
in the state assembly at Vandalia.

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 in good working order.
Accurate weights cannot be obtained
on scales that are out of repair.
Wagon scales should be inspected ire
quent1y by a competent inspector and
car 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 e 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 it 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
tanned. "A good rule is to remove ev-
erything but the necessary equipment
from the load before weighing.
Keep Bale Check When Loading.
II the producer or shipper loads the
hay directly into the cars care is espe-
cially necessary to compute the total
weight correctly. Loads 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 mot 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'oto base a claim should
any 4oss occur while the hay is moving
to market.
The following suggestions, if fol
lowed, will greatly assist inaeliminat-
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 a bale record, together
with a weight record, of each car.
