It la Essential That They Should
Carefully Built.
There are many ways to build a
shock of wheat; bat. like all operations,
there is a right way and a wrong
way. In doing this work there should
be a system, and each sluxk should be
built la exactly the same way. When
the grain is fairly ripe set up two sets
nf two bundles each. a!l leaning to
ward the center. Then set a bundle j
at each end. two at each side and two ,

endwara for caps. This makes a shock
of a dozen bundles, a good site for j
grain cut at the projer stage of ripen-
ing: also large enough ' to stand up
well and not so large but that two cap I
bendies will cover it. If smaller ,
shocks are desired oniy oue bundle I
need be set at each side. If a larger ,
one, three bundles may be set on each j
side.
Another cotcoi) method Is to set up :
six bundles by twos and complete as j
before, but I think the former method j
makes a better braced shock. 1 am ',
