Stacking Wheat.

WE have often said that after all of
the expense and toll of the season in
raising a crop of wheat, the profit was
frequently all lost in bad stacking. And
yet there is no need of it. If the mid
die of the stack be kept full enough, and
solid, there is but little danger of injury
from wet. Nearly every man who
thinks he is a good stacker is particular
to place his bundles close together on
the outside courses, and then put the
loose straw and rough bundles in the
middle. Being much more weight in
the middle than on the outer edge, it
will settle more, even if all parts of the
stack are packed alike. But it is sell
dom this is the case. Hence the middle
settles until the outer ends of the sheaves
stick up instead of down. In this con-
dition the water runs to the middle of
the stack and then down just where the
heads of grain are concentrated. Eight
years ago we knew young beginner
who had strained every nerve to raise a
good crop, and succeeded. He made
fine looking stacks of it, but was careless
in packing solidly in the middle, al
though apparently it was high enough
at all times. The stacks were large and
high. The middles settled two or three
feet more than the outsides. There
came a heavy rain. Soon after we call
ed his attention to the fact that his
stacks were wet and wheat spelling.
He could not believe it. But on thor
ough examination he found that it was
too wet TO thresh or too wet to let stand.
He finally got a machine to try it; not
two-thirds of it was threshed not a
bushel of merchantable wheat was OBJ
tanned. Most of it was fed out to the
stock at little profit, and the balance
rotted in the bins. He had bought a
farm and paid part. This failure of the
crop defeated him in meeting his en-
gagements. Struggling to overcome
this failure of his wheat, he paid high
interest, and finally failed, abandoned
his farm with what he had paid, and
went to Dakota to begin anew and grow
up with the cOuntry.-Lowa State Reg

MY FIRST CIGAR.


TWAS Just behind the wOodshod,
One glorious summer day,
Far DER the hills the sinking sun
Pursued It's westward way,
And in my lone secluslon,
Safely removed nfar
From all Of earth's confusion,
Ismokod 1 my first cigar.
All, bright the boyish fancies
Wrapped in the wreaths of bluei
Ny eyes grew dim, my head was light,
The woodshed round INC flew.
Dark night closed in around me,
Rayless without n star,
Grim death thought had found me,
And spoilodmy first cigar.
All, pallid was my noble brow,
The waning night was late,
My startled mother cried, in fear,
My child. what have you ateY"
