Stacking Wheat.

Now that the wheat crop has been har-
vested and gathered, the next thing to be
considered is how to protect it from the
weather. In the absence of barns this is
done by stacking in the open air, and to
do which requires no inconsiderable
amount of skill and judgment.
In preparing for this work first choose a
level piece of ground, on which lay a
foundation of rails some ten feet wide for
a large stack, and so in proportion. In
building the stack commence in the Gen.
ter of the foundation by setting up sheaves
as if for shock in the field, only placing
the bundles more compactly together, and
so continuing until the stack bottom is
sufficiently large, taking particular care
not to make it too small. AS the butts Of
the sheaves will gain faster than the heads,
by the time this bottom course is large
enough to build upon it is flat. By this
method the heads of the bundles will not
come in contact with the ground; and as
the center bundles support the greatest
weight of the stack, and are kept firmly in
their position by the surrounding pressure,
their firm condition will prevent the mid
die of the stack from settling as much as
the outside, and consequently prevent the
admission of water into the body of the
stack.
Now, get on the stack and continue
building in this way, only keeping the
middle a little fuller than any other part
of the stack, kneeling down firmly every
course and keeping the outside of the
stack as near perpendicular as possible,
until it has attained height of about four
feet, when begin increasing the diameter,
little by little, very carefully and uniform
ly, by adding on course after course, until
the stack is about eight feet high, at
which point should be its greatest diane
ter. Now begin contracting the diameter
by "drawing inn the outside course and
keeping the middle of the stack consider
ably fuller than the surrounding parts.
At this stage of the work cease walking on
the outside course, and to prevent the out
side bundles from slipping stick the butt
ends of the bundles firmly in those OF the
course below it, and so on until the stack
is finished.
1t is not necessary to give the bundles
much slant in the lower half of the stack,
as they are not apt to slide out, but after

stack is reached. Nor should it be for.
gotten that the sheaves as they come from
shocks in the field have one side longest

commencing to form the swell or bulge Of
the stack the longest side of each bundle

Mr.. Gamers Heroic Devotion to His
Wife,

In an article on the recent disaster in
New York Bay to the yacht Mohawk, a
writer in the Chicago Tribune says:
But after all, my sadness in the contem-
plation of that miserable disaster is al
most outweighed by my admiration of the
heroic devotion which it evinced.
Think of that poor wife, Mrs. Garner,
imprisoned, bound down by those heavy
pigs of lead upon her dress, and her
bruised form completely locked by the
sofa and bureau, while her agonized hus-
band and his friend were Juggling, Juggling
at the struggling form, yet all in vain +!
Think of the devoted husband, after all
his fruitless efforts, finding the whelmipg
waters rapidly rising around them, taking
her hand, and saying: /" My darling, if
cannot take you aotth me, I'll go aciM you!"
And there, beneath the salt waves of New
York Bay, within hundred yards of
shore and help, he "went with her"
leander swan the Hellespont to greet
his "ladie love-" and his name has sur
vived the lapse of tire; but what was
that devotion compared with this, before
our very eyes almost? Every i'll and ev-
cry disaster has its compcnsations, and
this devoted love of young millionaire
stands out q sort of heavenly halo, to gid
one of the most heart rending disasters of
the age.
And she, who carried with her to her
watery grave this more than "plumcd
Knight ''-this magnificent, heroic speci.
men of manhood-this faithful husband,
"even unto death what may we think
or say for her? She needs no epitapl
better than this:
Her husband, failing to save her, died
niM her!"
No woman of the period - was she, ]
wcen, this kid gloved and daintily clad
woman, with princely fortune at hel
command, who, dying thus suddenly, saw
the lover Of her maiden years so true to
his faith and his early love that death tt
him seemed preferable to separation; an(
so he chung to her hand, saying, as his
last words
"My darling! if | cannot take you acih
me, I'll go aciM you!'

Tho Two-ThirdS Rule.

The New Haven Union says that "tile re-
neal of this rule would undoubtedly resaii'
in the nomination Of TILpEN, while Its re-
tention may cause the defeat OF that arralt
trickster and sham reformer.'
Let TIDEN's friends learn wisdom from
his enemies. Undoubtedly he has ma
ioritv of the delegates. Why should they
not nominate him, The Republican party
has always nominated by a majority vote.
So did the old Wing party In its Gay, To
REQUIRE more than majority is not
democratic 1t Is in effect to clothe
the. minority with the power to-
rule the most important convention Of the
Democratic party. Only once in four years
does such body convene, and at each meet
ing the turbulent, aspiring, self-seeking,
ulerulous. and most unpatriotic members
are invested with the power OF frustrating
the purposes Of the orderly, unambitious,
and patriotic majority. Almost every man
who has ever held Il seat in Congress looks
upon himself as possible nominee OF De-
mocratic National Convention. He bases
his hopes, not upon his own merits,
nor his own popularity, but upon the fact
that under the operation OF the two-thirds
rule every man Of prominence and popu-
larity may expect to be slaughtered by q dis
contented and perverse minority. The I'M
patriotic delegate therefore votes for the
adoption OF the two-thirds rule, being deter
mined to make as many chances for himself
as possible. He thus uses the two-thirds
rule as means not only OF promoting his
own interests, but of damaging the fortunes
of the very aspirantS whom his own people
desire him to aid in nominating. Can arule
which thus divests the majority of its natu-
raj right to CONTROL and invests the minority
with the power to thwart the wishes OF that
majority, be justified in the present condi-
ton Of the country? .......
Inasmuch as it seems to be almost uni
versally agreed that the delegates from the
southern States will present the name Of no
person residing in their section for nomina-
ton either for President or Vicc-Prcsldcnt,
they will have at St. Louis an excellent OPP
portunity to aid in a good work the north
ern delegates who do not wish to profit by
the wrongful operation of an unjust rule.
That good work will be the refusal to
readopt the two-thirds rule. No such rule
can have force in any Convention unit
adopted by the body itself. The fact that
heretofore for many years it has been the
custom to adopt it need not be considered
for one moment. When that rule was frs
adopted it was also the custom to take thu
candidate for either one OF the other OF thu
offices from the South. Tltis custom ha
been allowed to cease. IL no longer obtains
The two-thirds rule should share the same
fate.
