MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1919 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER HAY STACKERS ARE INEXPENSIVE AND WILL SAVE MUCH FARM HANDPOWER| Unloading by Machines Releases Hand Power. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Thousands of farmers who faced the harvesting of a 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 loaders 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, & stacker could be used to advantage when it becomes necessary to stack, especially where labor is scarce. A boy who can drive a team can take the place of a man in the haying opera- tion. Two men and a boy using a load- er 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 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 han- dle 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 or which can be readily assembhled on tke farm without using special tools. 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 144 tons of hay a year, all charges against the stackers amounted to less than 7 cents a ton when the yield was one ton an acre. Small Stacks Not Economical. In building a haystack with a stack- er it is scarcely economical to make one containing less than 10 tons, ac- cording to experience. In locating stacks long or difficult hauls should be avoided whenever possible. It is very common on many farms to see stacks of hay at the end or corner of the field next to the farm huildings, the site be- ing chosen in order to have the hay handy for feeding. The total distance traveled in bringing hay to one side of a square field is approximately 50 per cent greater than in hauling to the cen- ter. If the stack is located at one cor- ner of the field the distance 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 coming into 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 accomplish- ed by tramping the middle well and al- ways keeping it higher than the edges during the process of building. To give the stack further protection, many farn'_lers provide a canvas cover or sheets of corrugated galvanized iron roofing which, when properly put on, practically eliminates loss from rain. ulate it as he OR— pay for. to broaden the Your Mental Picture of the - Standard Oil Company (diana) S it a thoroughly lubricated ma- chine, owned and controlled by one man, who is able to manip- heads to do his bidding by push button control?— Is it an organization of men animated by ideals of service, human sympathies, and a far seeing understanding of conditions in a highly specialized branch of industry? The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is owned and controlled by 4649 stockhold- ers, not one holding as much as 10 per- cent of the total stock. It is managed by 7 men, who, individ- ually, have won their way to the top by giving each day the kind of service which the public found it profitable to The policy of the Company in its rela- tion to the public is laid down by these 7 men, which is to render the individual consumer in the eleven states served by the Company the kind of service they demand and find it profitable to pay for. It is the earnest desire of these 7 men, holding the trusteeship of management, to intensify the usefulness to the public of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), and that the Company may discharge its ob- ligations as a public servant in a manner satisfactory to the stockholders and ben- eficial to the world.at large.
