'[HlE MISSISSIPPI The hills and monntains of the great Mississippi watershed are weeping. They are crying because their crowns of snow are melting. The flood of wa. ters has covered the f e r t i l E plains. Man and beast had tr flee away or perish. The levee above Vicksburg. Miss., has yielded to pressure and surrendered the homes an the wealth it guarded to the un conscious and merciless flood. Thirty-one years ago today : spent a night and day on th< steamboat Katie Hooner, plyin? between Madison, Arkansas and Memphis, Tenn. The fort. miles of railroad between thes< two points was anywhere fron six to thirty feet under water and the iron horse had not beer taught to swim. The flat country of inexhaus tible fertility supported a lux uriant jungle of a great variety of undergrowth vines that grew in the shade. The cottonwoo( trees, which were from seventy five to one hundred feet high, grew so close together the tops shut out the sun. The dark jungle was a safe retreat fo] many wild beasts and much game. Nothing but the flood could drive them from thei1 hiding. All that could not fl or climb a tree would take refugt on the railroad track-that por tion west of Madison. Wher the train came along there wouli be a mighty plunging into the flood to escape the engine. Ther they would return to the refuge on the road where thousands of them soon became targets for the hunter's trusty rifle. Many deer, wild hogs and turkey: were thus gathered for the Memphis market. Every day a river steamer would carry the trophies. Much time was re quired to load all this kind 31 freight. The distance to be covered b3 the water route was SO mile; down the St. Francis and 8( miles up the Mississippi river There was no-extra charge or the boat except for meals a seventy-five cents each. Every thing served was first class ex. cept the fish. It tasted like bad mud. smells.

I saw one man that musi have had pluck backed up by inventive genius. He was near his barn in a boat pitching hay up to a parcel of goats and fom~ mules on a scaffold. The ani mas were still about six feei above the water. There was nc balustrade or railing around the scaffold and I neve r heard of any of the nmules trying to es cape. I went to sleep that night trying to ,fuess how he man aged to get the mules up there. I am told that even birds buili their nests above high water mark. Julius E. Boggs.

Attention, Farmers! Save Your Hay The Ideal Hay Saver. The Secret of Ventilation Applied. A Workable, Cheap and Effec- . ~> tive Device. A Time Saver, and a Money ~ Maker, and One that Will Last a ~ . Life-time. Demonstrated by Ac tual Test to be the Realization of Farmers' Need. Read and Study the Principle. This cut represents the DIXIE' DAISY H AYSTACK VENTIL ATOR as it appears wvhen actu- l ally in use. Hay is the basIs of successful . farming, and especially is this________________________________ true of the pea-vine hay crop of the Southern States. No other DXEDIYHYTC ETLTR cropthatis nw sucessully Adjusted for Use. Stack of Peavine dlay Mijnsted for Packing gron, o ay eten inth % ft. high on Ventilator or Hauling South, serves the double nurpose.. - f enriching the soil while prod acing au abundant yield of high grade feed at a, low cost. Pea vine hay is of the highest quality of nourishing stock food, its cost of production is very low, but the problem heretofore has been: How to save the valuable product, so easily produced and so asily lost, and thereby insure another crop that will add to the income of the industrious south em famer.Crude Methods of Curing Heretofore have been the cause of loss of millions of dollars worth of the very best class of hay that might (properly cured) have been made a commercial asset of the Southern States or added to the home supply of stock feed, promoting the profitable business of wintering cattle for purpose f home-made fertilizer, and profiting by their growth through the winter months, fed upon the omparatively cheap hay produced on the fertile southern fields. Pea-vines are not the only ource of hay production in the Southern States. But the one problem is how to save our hay, because the cutting and gathering season of the southern hay crop is usually attended with eather conditions--excessive rains-that make the saving of any hay crop one of doubt at times. In this question the merchant is interested, the small farmer is interested, the large farmer is vitally interested--in fact', all who look to the farmer for any part of their livig are deeply con cerned about the welfare of the farmer and desire his success. His success is the hope of the~coun try, AND HIS INDEPENDENCE OF FOREIGN FOOD SUTPPLIES for man or beast means the general progress of the country. This Device, The Dixie Daisy Htaystack Ventilator, is a blessing, because it fills, in a timely way, a long-felt need-it accomplishes the purpose of which men have thought for years. It will save your hay without risking the time required to allow it to cure on the ground. It is simple in construction. cheap and durable. This device is actually cheaper than the method of going into the woods, cutting poles and erecting, temporary, stack poles. There is absolutely no waste of timber or wood about its use, and it furnishes a per fet ventilator for all the green hay that can be piled on it in the open field so that yoar pea-vine hay or any other kind of hay growvn will not mould or rot however green it may be when stacked onthis dev-ice. This has been demonstrated. Its simplicity and cheapness appeal to every thoughtful man-its ease of operation is a surprise to all who have heretofore worked and tugged in the old-time method of trying to save our valuable hay crop. It is Ce nstructed on Strictly Scientific Principles. A tripod, substantially hinged, each leg of the tripod having strong spikes of sufficient length to Ehold firmly the hay as it is piled on it and built up thereon as high as it can begnveniently thrown by a man wvith a pitch-fork. The tripod is mounted with an adjustable fuegewhich al lows the hay stack to be built as high as desired. The process of ventilation is successfully assured by reason of the fact that the air passes freely up through the (center of the stack to the top from the bottom, the spikes being so arranged that no hay touches the ground. This device is light in construction, and when the hay is cured and it. is desired to move it from the field, the process of loading it on the wagon is simple and easy, as the whole apparatus (hay and appliance) can be lifted together and the hay easily lodged in the Teentire apparatus is easily adjusted, it can be used on hill-sides as well as on level ground-it enn11 be. mounted and used on terraces or anywhere in the field-it is entirely practicable, and is the hepest. and yet the most substantial device possible of construction and calculated to meet the vl y needs for which it was designed. eVetlio Is by means of an open flue in the center and fromu the bottom upwards. Th9 principle of me chanical construction is such that the legs of the miachin~e will hold more weight in hay than it is possible to pile on the appara-tus. The legs are 48 inches high, and the top, adjustable spike is 18 inches long, and this carries a stack of green hay 74 I eet high, as seen in the cut. When this ap paratus is used, even standing wate~r on the g'Uan aI the depth of six i eu 'ould hay, because the hay is actually clear of *w aced on this devic&e. cry 2-horse farmer should have not less these machines and so in proportion.
