Editor Grange drance.
Having recently read an article from
the pen Of Mr.. Donnelly, advising far
mers to cover their wheat stacks with
cloth, thought an improvement on his
plan would be to put awnings over the
wheat fields after the grain ripened
By this plan of mine harvesting could
be proceeded with, no matter how hard
it rained, and if the sun shone, the har.
vesters would have shade to work in.
TO be sure it would take consider
able cloth and u high ridge pole, but
then it would save the grain and make
farming easy work comparatively.
But leaving TESTING aside, it is an
easy matter to build stack that will
shed any rain that falls or drives; or, if
a rick is preferred, straw cover can
be made that will protect the rick Of
fectually. The trouble this season has
not been in building rain-proof stacks,
but in getting the grain in condition to
stack. The frequency Of showers has
prevented the grain from drying. To

A WORKING FARNER.

A WORKING FARMER.
Our correspondent has probably
found out that newspaper farmers are
prone to fanciful ideas, rather than
practical suggestions. We regarded
Mr.. Donnel]y's proposition a. impracti.
cable, for the same reason that our
correspondent gives. The idea that
these stack covers would last Is years,
OF even 5 years, we doubt very much.
The wind would be very likely to strip
them into ribbons in a few days, and
under the most propitious circumstances
they could hardly last three seasons.
The very best ducking tents do not last
but year or so. The dews rot and
the winds tear them, and the thin, cheap
cloth would hardly last fifth of the
time. The best advisers for farmers
are farmers. Newspaper men know
but little about practical agriculture, and
any new suggestion should be expert
mented with carefully prior to it's adop-
tion.-ED. ADVANCE.

CHESTER, OLnsTED Co., MIMI,
September 10th, 1875.
Dear Sir: The Grange Advance is a
welcome visitor here. Persevere in
well-doing and speak out plainly. That
is what we farmers want, and our &C.
auaintance with you during five years
gives US assurance that you will do so.
That you will not be misled by in
auences that may surround you. You
have stood by the farmers nobly in their
battles against railroads and an other
e1tortioners and they ought now ia
stand by you, and believe they will.
Your estimate Of the loss to the
wheat crop is not exaggerated, so far as
this locality is concerned. There is a
great deal of sprouted wheat, and a
good deal will be injured by getting
damp, which is now in the stack, and
seems to be all right. Then, wheat
that has been wet and dried out even
once, shells badly in handling, and a
good deal is lost. This liability to shell
will be increased by frequent exposure
to wet, and getting dry again. Tween.
ty per cent. will hardly cover the total
loss to the crop.
I hope our friends will put full tick.
ct in the field at Owatonna. We can.
not afford to endorse either Of the old
parties. To do so will destroy our or.
ganization, and leave US again at the
mercy Of rings of corrupt politicians
and extortionate spectators. Enclosed
find price Of subscription, and accept
my best wishes. Yours fraternally,
