HOW 10 STACK GRAIN.

There il No Reason why the Work
should Not Be Done Well.
THERE'S no reason why every farm
sr's boy should not learn the art OF
properly stacking grain and hay.
Nearly every farmer can stack grain
after a fashion. but not one out Of fifty
can build up trim. symmetrical. rain
sired stack remote from the shade Of
any building or grove. and arrange
the bottom so that there will be free
circulation OF air underneath. Tho
plan Of preparing concavc bottom.
10 give stability to the rick. is not de-
sirablc. on account OF the natural
tendency Of the layers OF sheaves to
settle into a concaye position also.
and make hollow in the center OF the
stack. the very thing most 10 be
avoided. Fix a firm slightly convex
foundation out Of stout poles or scant-
lings. and imbcd in the ground short
corner uprights, to give rightly 70 the
bottom OF the stack Put down first
layer OF straw and then be gin the stack.
Put a circle of sheaves. with the butts
out. around the convex center. Crowd
them tightly together. and keep the
butts on an even circle. Lay another
circle around the first in the same way.
allowing the shcavcs Of the second
circle 10 lap half Of their length on
the first Follow the same practice
until the limit Of the bottom Is
reached. and then begin at the center
again A stacker should be on his
knees all the time. and compress the
bundles snugly as he follows the circle
around. Let the outside ring Of tho
second layer project very slightly over
the foundation layer. and repeat until
the middle Of the desired stack height
il reached. Then place each successive
layer a little nearer the center and
gradually bring to tapering peak Il

pitch is impcrativcly required IN the
