French method ef sfacking Wheas.

Z A GENTLEMAN who had notic-
ed the modes Of agriculture, on the banks
ST the Rhine, in Flanders and in France,
has remarked that The people of those
countries commonly stack their wheat
and leave it in the field. Their manner
of stacking is a. follows. /" they set one
sheaf upright, with the ears upperniost,
and round that PLACE circle Of many
ether sheayes with the ears uppermost,
.iaelining on the FIRST sheaf; and when
so placed, they look like the figure Of an
extinguisher, then they lay an horizon
cal circle Of sheayes, with all the ears in
the centre, and cover those ears in the
centre with . loose sheaf ortwo. Thus
placed they are protected from all wet.
apd may remain six weeks or 1.-TWO
months, % safe, - in Z barr" w., w.. .
Harveststime Is the most busy season.
with the farmer, in the whole year by
stacking his wheat and other grain in the
field, he can finish his harvest sooner !;
he may cart the sheaves in as leisure
times; and BY reason Of their exposure
% the air for several weeks, they thresh
much easier, than sheaves which. i'm.
Fmediatly after binding, are housed in a
light barn. o. 81. a ~ 49,
The writer remarks, that this French
and German method Of stacking has been
adopted in some Of the Southern counties
Of England, TO the great benefit Of the
farmers and the public. q =, 6:
