To Build a, Stack,

There is much more science involv-
ed in building stack of hay, loose
grain, or bundles in correct man
ner than there is in erecting a pyramid
that will stand the test of wasting
aad raging elements Of time and
changing weather.
The main point is to build a stack
so as to turn all the rain off instead
of turning toward the middle of the
stack, where it would produce more
or less damage.
Beginners will almost always COM
mence at the circumference or out
side Of the stack, instead of commenc-
ing in the middle. Wheather stack
is to be made of bundles or loose ma
terials, it should always be commen.
ced in the middle. And the mid
die should always be kept full
lest, from one to two feet higher than
the outside, and well pressed down.
The middle should always be trod
down more closely than the outside.
so that when the stack commences to
settle, the outside will settle more
than the middle and thus tend to
give good inclination to the stray
on the outside, and will carry off the
water rapidly.
1t is better to make round stacks
than those with square corners, be.
cause such square corners will never
settle down evenly with The sides
and they cannot carry off the rain as
well IS if the top were round.
AS soon as the stack is built as
high as the bilge, care must be exer
cised to give more inclination to the
eheaves, by keeping the middle fuller
and the sheaves must be crowded a.
closely together as they can be tc
keep the water from falling down OF
the course of sheaves below.
When stacks are built of loose ma
terials, the stacker should be careful
to place as many of the straight
punches of straw up and down the
stack on the outer course as be car
conveniently. These long straw,
will turn off the water almost as wei
as a board Name Farmer.

NUMBER II.

There are many inducements for fe-
males to enter the arena of teaching, and
there are reasons why they should, and
why they should become professional
teachers,-reasons which do not apply
with equal force to males Among the
inducements are:
1st. 1t pays.
I'd. 1t places her on equality with the
other sex.
1t pays, # not in an absolute sense,
yet in relative. 1t pays better than
the kind of labor that usually falls to her
lot. However unfortunate it may ap-
pear, it seems to be her fate to have
mach of the drudgery of human life to
perform and to receive few of its rewards
to fill subordinate positions, bad
while the higher and more lucrative
are monopolized by the more favored sex.
Taking things as they ore, then, taking
things into consideration the vast dispro.
portion with respect to the positions in
the various departments of life accessi-
BILE to each, there can be nothing wrong
in saying that what may be good pay to
the one may be bad pay to the other; and
yet | would not, by any means be under
stood that by reason of this, a female
ought to receive less salary than male, if
she does the same amount of work and
does equally we'll. That would be gross
Injustice and the public are beginning
to regard it so. Other things being equal
females, in most places, are paid the same
as males. 1T wonld appear, then, that
the matter Of pay is some inducement
for females 20 engage in teaching.
Next, it places her on equality With
the other sex, not in political aspect, to
be sure, but what pertains to practical

Aim at Something,

Arthur Gilman, in one of his public
addresses, tells what he calls an "Andover
story" One day, he says, man went
into store there, and began telling about
fire. "There never had been such a
fire." he said, sin Essex. A man going
by deacon PittingilPs barn saw an owl
on ridge pole. He fred at the owl,
and the wadding somehow or other get
ting into the shingles, set the hay on fire,
and it was all destroyed-ten tons of hay,
SIX head of cattle, the finest horse in the
country" &c. The deacon was nearly
crazed by it. The men in the store be.
gan exclaiming and commenting upot it.
"What loss )" says one. sWhy the
deacon will nigh break down under it."
says another AID so they went on spec
ulating, one after another, and the con-
versation drifted on all sorts of coniec-
lures. AT last quiet man, who was
splitting in the fire, looked up and said !:
Did he hit the oct ?" That man was
for getting at the point of the thing =
Let all pubic speakers, in the pulpit and
elsewhere, heed the moral. Did you
aim at something, and did you hit what
you aimed at? No matter about the
splurge and the smoke and the hay
Did you hit the owl ?"

Preparing For Wheat

Mr.. EDITOR Very little, of late,
has been printed in the Telegraph,
relating to this very important crop,
not only to the farEer, but to the
whole world of mankind. lpropose,
therefore ir this article, to give m"
mode of preparing the ground, as well
as putting in the wheat, and grass seed
In this section, wheat commonly
follows oats. AS soon as the oats are
gathered, the stubble is plowed and
rolled +; in a;couple of weeks the ma
nure is hauled and spread evenly
over the ground, and again plowed,
not quite so deep as the first time,
and again rolled a few days before
seeding, the ground is again plowed,
narrowed and rolled, and it is then
ready to receive the seed.
Aonther way of preparing the
ground, is to haul out the manure on
the stubble, then pillow and roll, and
if the young oats start soon after,
harrow occasionly to keep il from
growing. A few days before sowing
the seed, it is again plowed, harrow
ed and rolled.
You will notice, l use the roller
more than the harrow, as the latter
draws up the manu- to the surface,
and interferes with the drilling.
Time Of Soa0ing, and Quantity Of
Seed per Acre.-Experience has
taught US that from the 18th to the
25th of September is the most suita-
BILE time for putting in this crop.-If
drilled, II bushels,i if sowed broadcast,
II bushels is the quantity of seed
that | put in to the acre. l prefer
drilling, if the surface is clear of
trash and stumps. If the timothy
seed be saved with the drill, 4 quarts
to the acre L think sufficient. If sown
broa cast, it is very important to
have it done soon after the wheat,
or before a rain comes to settle the
ground. Indeed, | would rather de-
fer sowing my wheat, than to miss
getting the timothy seed in before
a rain.
After the seeding is done, if it is
low ground, where 1t would be likely
to perish, if water stood IN it, l take
the plow and draw furrows, Gf noS
under-drained, to draw of the stand
Ing water.
About the first of April, following,
l SOW 4 quarts of clover seed to the
acre.
l might here add that l have found
it best to put, say half a coat of ma
nure for wheat, and in year or two
put on coat of manure as a top
dressing in the fall, for grass. l
might also state, that | have found
it saving Of time to have the ma
nure heap turned over a week before
hauling out as twill heat and get
much shorter, will load ersier, and
spread evener.

the furrow towards the trees, the
same plan is equally advantageous,
but of course it should then be set as
a,arroso as possible. e., the beam
should be turned to the left.
