The crop of sir al grains in the Northwestern s ates the prcs ni year is unusually good. In fact, it is in a sense phenomenal, ft is exceedingly important to all concerned that this crop shall be saved. If possible, not one bushel of it should be lost. The hazard is very considerable that the farmers may hot be fully able to properly take care of thjs great crop. It is fitting, there fore, that everything in reason should be done to save this bountiful crop. Much of the grain "grown in the Dakotas and Montana in 1911 was lost. The loss resulted from the inability of the farmers to get the grain thrashed in time. The outcome was that snow leu on tne snocKS in me field and on the flax lying in the sheaf, with the result that all of the grain was greatly damag ed and much of it was a total loss. This loss might have been prevented had the farmer stacked their grain. The harvest of 1911 was late, especially in regard to the flax crop and as a result much was buried under the snow while lying in the sheaf. Tnjs loss might have been avoided by stacking of flax as soon as it was dry. The flax crop of 1912 will also be late, and in order to Prof. Thos. Shaw Soil Expert and Scientific Farmer save the crop it ought to be stacked as soon as it is dry. If it was not possible to get the comparatively light crop of 1911 thrashed on time, it is a foregone conclusion that the bumper crop of 1912 will fare worse in that respect. It will be simply a physical impossibil ity to thrash all the grain grown in 1912 when it should be thrash ed, if the thrashing is done in. season. 11 however, the crop is properly stacked, the farmer may thrash it at his leisure, even during the winter season. His crop is practically safe as soon as it is stacked, let the weather be what it will be. The farmer may then not only thrash his grain at his own pleasure when labor is more plentiful and cheaper than if he thrashed his grain at the usual season. The objections that are usual ly urged to s acking grain are, that it involves more labor than thrashing from the shock. That is true, but when the thrasher cannot come until much of tne grain is lost, as it stands in the shock from shelling and other causes, the loss lar more than onsets the advantage from thrashing the gram from the shock. It is morally certain that the present season, the thrasher cannot overtake the work when it ought to be donq'. f, therefor, loss is to bo pre vented, much of the grain will have to bo stacked. The advantages from stacking much or all of the grain includes the following : .(1) It insures the crop from loss by birds, by undue shelling, by hail and snow, and also by rain, should the weather prove showery. (2) It enables tho farmer to diso his land soon as tho shocks have been removed and to plow it la ter, thus putting it in good condition for growing of crops next year In this way tho mois ture now in the ground may bo so conserved as to make practi cally sure a crop in 1913. It does not riquiro great skill to stack, but, of course, experi ence is necessary to insure per fection in stacking grain. The method to be followed'is in out line as follows: A tier of sheaves should be laid after the fashion followed in building a round shock. This tier should be as wide as the bottom of the stack and in circular form. The stack er then begins in the center of the stack to lay the next tier. The sheaves of this tier lap over one another so as to make the center the highest part, the lap being less towards the outside of the stack. The butts of the last tier of sheaves should ex tend beyond the sheaves of the first tier. Each succeeding tier is laid similarly, graduadual ly increasing the height of the stack relatively in the center and gradually swelling the di ameter by the over lapping of the butts until the" height of about 10 feet is reached. A few tiers then follow of an equal cir cumference, and then the stack shrinks in diameter with each succeeding tier, keeping the center high until the last tier of sheaves is laid. The narrowing of the stacks is brought about bv not permitting the sheaves of each tior last laid to extend so far out as those of the preced ing tier. The stack should not have a diameter more than will enable the men on the stack to work without discomfort. The one who lays the sheaves usually treads on each, as ..he Jays it The sheaves should be pitched onto the stack from the wagen pn different sides of the same. If all are pitched on from the one side the stack will settle most on the opposite iide, hence the stack will naturally tip to that side. The top covering should be of some material that will readily turn rain. For this purpose there is nothing better than , slough hay or Kentucky blue grass. If kept high in the center and properly spread, it does not take much for each stack. The stack should not be so wide that it will call for the work of more than two men to build it. One take the sheaves as they are thrown onto the stack from the wag on and pitches them to the stacker. The stacking ought to be done as soon as the grain is dry. It may be necessary to delay, how ever, until the gram is all cut; that is, it may be necessary to delay stacking each kind of grain until that kind is all cut. It is ready to stack in a few days after it is cut. The num ber of days called for to leave the grain in the shock will de crease with the increasing ripe ness in the grain. When build ing the stacks they should be ar ranged with an eye to.conveni' ! il 1 n unce in mresning. rne aim should be to so nlace them that they could be thrown to the ma chine from two sides, having an opening between the two tiers of stacks in which the machine could be moved forward from time to time. 'lo allow the crop to waste after it has been grown nothing short of a crime. is Cuts and bruises may be healed In about ono-third the time required by the usual treatment by applying Cham, berlaln's Liniment. It is an antiseptic and causes suh Injuries to heal with out maturation. This liniment also relieves soreness of the muuclos and rheumatic ptlna. For sale by M.
