' TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1920 CURE HAY WELL BEFORE BALING Can Be Kept Indefinitely Without Danger of Heating if Prop- erly Treated. AR CIRCULATION 1S NEEDED Crosswise Method of “Cording” Pre- vents Alr Spaces From Being Cov- ered and Insures Ventilation Through Pile. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Baled hay that has been thoroughly cured in the barn or stack before bal- ing can be stored indefinitely without danger of heating, say specialists. It may be piled so that the bales fit very closely together. Hay baled from the windrow and cock, however, unless very vgell cured, is likely to heat more or less in storage. Sometimes the heat- ing becomes so intense that the hay becomes severely damaged or even un- marketable. Lessen Danger of Heating. Damage from heating may be greatly lessened and sometimes entirely obvi- ated by storing the bales on edge, al- lowing an inch or two of air space be- tween them. When bales are piled flat- wise the air 18 excluded and heating is likely to occur, whereas leaving an air space tends to prevent heating by inducing circulation, which cools the hay. The first layer of bales placed in a barn should be placed on edge, and the second and every alternate layer should be placed on edge and crosswise. This crosswise method, or “cording,” prevents any of the air spaces in the tier from being entirely covered and insures ventilation through the entire pile. The heated air works up around the edges of the bales and the cooler air enters from the sides and bottom. Methods of Storing. When bales that have been laid flat on their sides begin to heat it becomes necessary to move the bales and pile them in the manner just described. If there are any indications of heating when the hay is put into the barn, or if the hay grower has any doubt about the hay keeping, it Is best to pile the bales crosswise on edge, rather than take any risk, even though this method of storing wastes more or less stor- age space. Csases are on record in which hay growers, usually beginners, have baled hay from the windrow and cock, and because it spoiled in the mow, owing to improper storing, have become convinced that baling from the fleld was not a success, not realizing that the fault lay in the manner in which the hay was stored. ICE SHOE MADE ADJUSTABLE Creeper Arranged for Attachment to a Horseshoe to Prevent Horse From Slipping. The Scientific American in illustrat- ing and describing an adjustable ice shoe, the invention of W. H. Norris of Nashville, Tenn., says: The object here is'to provide an adjustable ice. shoe or creeper arranged for con- venient attachment to a horseshoe and. " the hoof, and designed to prevent the animal from slipping when walking on icy or slippery roads. Further, to provide a shoe which may be readily Adjustable Ice Shoe. adjusted and securely placed in posi- tion on a horseshoe and a hoof. For the purpose use is made of auxiliary toe and heel calks mounted on caps fitting the ordinary toe and heel calks of the horseshoe, means for connecting the caps with each other within the opening of the horseshoe, and means for connecting the caps with each other around the hoof. An inverted plan view of the shoe or crepeer is shown in the engraving. HOGS ECONOMICAL FOR MEAT Animals Produce More Flesh for Given Quantity of Feed Than Either Cattle or Sheep. Hogs are economical when it comes to converting feed into meat. They thus produce more flesh for a given quantity of feed than cattle or sheep. Farmers cannot afford to buy meat if it 1s at all possible to raise hogs on the farm. And there are very few farms where hogs cannot be raised to advantage, at least enough for the home meat supply, if pains are taken to provide grazing crops. This is a favorable time to start. By preparing land and getting ready to sow crops for grazing farmers may take thought for the morrow. By beginning with breed sows it does not take long to raise enough hogs to make enough meat for the ordinary family. But the feed should be avalil- able and the pastare prepared before a start is made. e e e e e e ey S e RSN R SR LA DR AN e S R S N S S S s s . e S s e Ouija Board Clew to Fortune Temporarily Fails ENVER.—Mrs., Adeline Jones, pretty young Denver woman, will probably never know her origin or establish her claim to an immense fortune, said to be rightfully hers, as the result of complete failure on the part of Chief of Police J. E. Kinney and Detectives Rey and Schuler of the Indianapolis police départment, to unravel the mys- tery of the girl’'s parentage and baby- hood history. Clues furnished the Indianapolis police by Detective Frank E. McCabe of Denver came to naught, due to the death of the parties named and the wrecking of an old Indianapolis asy- lum for orphans, the place from which, according to an ouija board, Mrs. Joner was taken 22 years ago last month According to tne story as tola metective McCabe by the girl, she believed herself the daughter of Mr ago, when she accidentally stumbled daughter of the woman. L. Snider of 1638 Pearl street until a short time on to the fact that she was not the Her efforts to draw an explanation from Mrs. Snider ‘fajled-and then came the ouija board test, which resulted in the revelation of the girl’s adoption, the fact that her mother was supposed to be still alive in Indiana and that her father was supposedly murdered in a meat market in the Hoosier state. and the further fact that her father was wealthy and that she was the rightful heir to a fortune.. Facts dug up by McCabe substantiated a purt of this and now the Indianapolis police have also confirmed the ouija board’s statements. McCabe declares that the action of the ouija board, now practically sub- stantiated, is unexplainable. e —————————————————————————————————————————————— GIFT AMERICAN GIRL PRIZED Probably No Reward Offered Her Could Have Afforded Her So Much Pleasure. One big, bashful boy at Aix-les- Bains stood a part of every one of his eight days leaning against a post and watching a splendid American girl who worked behind a counter. She looked his way and smiled, but he was very bashful and did not at- tempt to speak to her, and wouid hardly smile in return. On the last day of his leave he came to her with a long package carefully wrapped in paper. He said: *Miss, please ex- cuse me, but 1 just wanted to ask if you will accept this little present from me. I ain’t much like the oth- er boys—not even back home did 1 have much to do with the girls. I have always been a backward sort: of a fellotv, but it has just been mighty nice to be able to see you here, be- cause you have reminded me so much of some of our own women- folks back home. You ain’t seemed to mind my looking at you, and I just wanted to know if you would accept this little present from me.” She thanked him, and unrolling the paper from the package she found two bcautiful long-stemmed roses. On one he had tied a bunch of grapes and on the other two plums. This was an offering of greater value to this American girl than any medal, cup or anything else that might have been offered her.—Chris- tian Herald. First American Composer. Judge Francis Hopkinson, signer of the Declaration of Independence, jur- ist, inventor, artist, poet, essayist, scholar, organist, composer and first graduate of the class of 1757 of the ‘University of Pennsylvania, is known as the first American composer. Judge Hopkinson was especially noted as a composer of fetching songs for the harpsichord. In 1788 he published sev- ‘en songs dedicated to his friend, George Washington, In the quaint fash- fon of his day, he wrote: “However small the Reputation may be that I derive from this Work, I cannot, I belleve, be refused the Credit of be- ing the first Native of the United States who has produced a Musical Composition. If this attempt be not too severely treated, others may be encouraged to venture on a path yet untrodden in America, and the Arts in succession will take root and flour- ish gmong us.” OVERDOING IT, “Learn to say ‘No!” exclaimed the moralist. “Yes,” protested the kind-hearted grocer. “But I’m tired of saying it every time anybody asks if I can sell him a pound of sugar.” SANTA’S EDICT, Jacqueline has a decided aversion to naps. The other day, as her moth- er called to her to take her nap, there was a moment’s silence, then Jacque- line, with a great deal of enthusissm in her voice, gaid: “Do you kmow what Santa said? He said: ‘Jacque- line, this year there aren’t to be any »» more naps. CLING TO OLD OBSERVANCE People ¢f Normandy Today, as for Centuries, Delight in Their Little E?iphany Cakes. Norman cities and towns that have P for centuries perpetuated their quaint observance of the Epiphany bake and eat their little cakes with joyful hearts. The custom is ancient and charming, an affair of children and colored lanterns parading the streets of ancient towns and singing an an- cient song in piping voices; and where they go, well-disposed citizens open their doors and distribute cakes. Ex- cept in a few places the custom has gradually gone out, but here and there it continues, and carries with it the odd and Interesting history of the Epiphany cakes. Krench bakers and pastry cooks "began making them at least as long ago as 1700, and in those days the family that bought a cake ate of it and gave part of it to the chil- dren when they came singing the song that has now become ancient. In 17183, says the record, there was great dis- puté between the bakers and ‘the pas- Iry cooks as to which had the right to oake the Epiphany cakes; the grave fquestion was taken to the parliament »f Paris, which, after proper delibera- tion, decided in favor of the pastry ‘cooks. In 1740, one does not know why, the privilege was taken away from the pastry cooks and given the bakers. Then in the time of the first republic the festival was abolished; a decree of the seventeenth Nivose, year II, by which the revolutionary determination for change designated January 6, 1794, declared that the cus- tom commemorated the memory of the “last tyrant,” Louis XVI. In 1801 the festival and the cakes were legally restored, and so the custom comes down, here and there, into the twen- tieth century.
