HOW HAY STACKER SAVES MUCH LABOR During a Busy Harvesting Season in the East and South DEPARTMENT BULLETIN i TELLS HOW TO MAKE J Unloading' by Machine Uses 1 Horse Power Instead of Hand Labor. < i 1 ) Thousands of farmers who faced , the harvesting of a large hay crop j 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 instead of man power. When hay is loaded on the wagon by hand and unloaded by a stacker one-half of the hand labor is eliminated. If push rakes or hay loaders are used in connection with the stacker the laborious task of pitch j ing by hand is entirely avoided. These points are brought out in Farmers' Bulletin 1009, recently pub-j lished by the United States Depart- j ment of Agriculture, which describes j the different types of stackers in use,! discusses the conditions favorable for, each type, and tells how to make I them. Useful in East and South. .In the East and South, where much of the hay grown is stored under cover, a stacker could bo used to advantage when it becomes necessary to stack, especially where labor is j scarce.

I uuyuig upci utioii. i v. u inun ami -i bey using a loader and stacker will handle about 75 per cent more hay for each man during a day than a three-man crew loading and unloading by hand. Hay stackers arc classed by the bulletin in two general types, one hav ing teeth on which the hay is gathered and brought to the stack on push Tacks; the other consisting of stacKeir that do not receive hay directly from push racks, but handle it by means of horse forks or slings. Both types are comparatively inexpensive and can usually be made at home with material that is available crj which can be readily assembled on the farm. A stacker will last from 10 to 12 years under ordinary conditions, and the cost of repair is small. On 27 farms in central Kansas, which stack an average of 1-14 tons of bay a year, all charges against the stackers amounted to less than 7 cents a ton when the yield vi s 1 ton an acre. Small Stacks Not Economical. In building a haystack with a stack cm- it is scarcely economical to make one containing loss than 10 tons, according to the bulletin. In locating stacks long or difficult hauls should be avoided whenever possible. It i very common on many farms to see stacks of hay at the end or corner of the field next to the farm buildings, the site being chosen in order to have the hay handy for foodieg. The total distance traveled in bringing hay tc on< side of a square field is approximately 50 per cent greater than ir "FAKE" ASPIRIN f WAS TALCUM Therefore Insist Upon Genuine "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" Millions of fraudulent Aspirin Ta lets were sold by a Brooklyn mam facturer which later proved to I composed mainly of Talcum' Powde "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" the tru genuine, American made and Amer can owned Tablets are marked wil the safety "Bayer Cross."

If yoor skin seems ablaze with the fiery, burning and itching of Eczema, real and lasting relief can only come from treatment that goes below the surface ? that reaches down to the very source of the trouble. Skin-diseases come from a disordered condition of the blood, and search 'far and near, hauling to the center. If the stack is located at one comer of the field, the iistance traveled is 100 per cent greater. To minimize damage by moisture from the ground, care should be taken to keep the hay in the bottom of the stack from comincr in contact with the soil. The aim of all good stack build ers is to^make a stack that will not "take water." This can be accomplished by tramping the midddle well and always keeping it higher than the edge during the process of building. To give the stack further protection, many farmers provide a canvas cover or sheets of corrugated galvanized iron roofing which, when properly put on, practically eliminates loss from rain. priceIfcottoT waiting on peace New Orleans.?After the American Cotton Association at the closing session here agreed unanimously upon a scale of temporary minimum prices from 00 cents for September to 40 cents for may, an uproar over a resolution for the indorsement of President Wilson's tour of the league of nations and for urging the senate to ratify immediately the peace treaty ensued in which the proposal to set aside the two-third rule which would allow a vote was defeated 40 to 41.
