STACKING SHEAvES.
A Way Of Doing IT That Has Proved Pop
ular and Satisfactory.

uiaf ana b2tisiActOry'
I have stacked much grain in my day,
and none of it became wet in the stack.
Begin by setting two bundles on end,
leaning together at angle of about 20
degrees, then continue around and
around until the stack bottom is large
enough. The center sheaves should be
pressed in as closely together as posi-
BILE. AS the circle enlarges each sue
ceeding course should be given little
more slant, SO that when the last course
is laid it will have but a slight slant.
The stack bottom is then highest in the
middle. This rule is followed until
the stack is finished. AS the laying
proceeds from the center the sheaves
should be laid less closely in dimin-
ishing degree, so that the stack will
settle least in the center. After the
first course the stacker should be on
his knees and press down every sheaf
When the foundation is about 6 feet
high the outside tiers OF sheaves must
be laid to project little over the ones
Immediately beneath, to give the stack
the proper bulge, that the water may
be conveyed away from the base. The
outer courses when being "laid out"
must be secured or some may slide
when considerable weight presses upon
them.
Grasp each sheaf with both hands,
raise the headsend almost perpepdicu'
lar and ''chuck" the bdtt end into the
butt of the one beneath, then lower
and push out to place; the ends of some
of the straws, catching into the sheai
beneath, hold it from sliding out.
continue this practice when drawing
I'M to top outs A good man is need
ed to pitch from the wagon to the one
on the stack who pitches to the stack
err. The sheaves should be thrown
within reach of the latter, who has to
move around as the stacker does. The
wagon should not be unloaded from
the same side of the stack twice in sue
cession. The pitching-off should be
done all around, to prevent packing
down the sheaves more in one place
than another. The stack pitcher SHOULD
not stand in one place longer than two
minutes, but keep moving in differen
circles about the center. His place il
never nearer than 6 or feet to thu
edge of the stack. Keep the center
full, keep it pressed solid and even, ant
then the stack will settle squarely
Stacked thus, sheaves will turn waite
as readily as ducks back. For
stack of 25 feet diameter the cente
should be kept feet higher than tn
outer edge. Wilson, in N. Y
Tribune.

SOFT SHElLED EGGS.
The Different Causes Which Produce
Them-A Number of Remedies.

The Different Causes Which Produce
Them-A Number of Remedies.
The laying of soft shell eggs at this
season of the year is very common,
says Annie Webster in an exchange,
and many remedies are suggested to
prevent it. The fact is, the causes are
many, and if they are all treated alike
it will be matter of chance whether
success is obtained. The most common
cause and one on which the most stress
is always laid, is the lack of calcare-
Gus matter in the chicken system, and
hence in their food. The common rem
edy is good one Give the fowls the
freedom of beds of old mortar or of
oyster shells broken up. If the lack of
this substance in the system is the
cause of the complaint, such treatment
will bring about change shortly. A
second cause, very common among the
DorlSings, Crevecoeurs and other heavy
breeds. especially at this season of the
year, is undue excitement. In the
spring of the year they are exposed
more to excitement when they are on
the range than at any other season, and
this induces them to lay soft shelled
eggs. Fowls that are driven about
much, or worried in any way will be
apt to lay soft eggs. The only remedy
for this, of course, is complete rest
and removal of the causes of excite.
ment.
Disease and inflammation of the egg
passage is another very common cause
which causes the production of egg.
unfit for market, and those which arr
often broken before they can be Sc
cured for home use. The best remedy
for this is to give the hens dose o.
two of calomel one grain, and one
twelfth of grain of tartar cmetic, il
their meals This may be repeated /;
day or two after.
This complaint is sometimes caused
by over-stimulating food, such as high
ly-spiced food from the table. At sucl
times the food ration should be yer,
simple, consisting chiefly of rice ant
potatoes, with no seasoning whateve
in it. Unwholesome food will alst
sometimes bring about the same un
healthy condition.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.


WE suppose that it will do no partic-
ular harm to again suggest that shade
of some kind should be provided in the
pastures.
OF course, if we can always keep a
COW healthy, she will do her best. Bad
luck at calving time is usually the re-
suit of an impaired system.
IT is of no use to attempt to run a
dairy properly unless the utensils are
thoroughly cleaned. Rinsing is not
enough. Use little elbow grease.
THE vast majority of cows will re-
spond promptly to kind treatment If
cow has the mischief born in her 1t
is better, as a rule, to get rid of her.
Do NOT permit the cows to run where
there are exceedingly foul odors. The
rules of purity should operate before
the milk is drawn as well as after
wards.
Do NOT let the cream become too
sour before churning. Souring, re.
member, is a process of putrefaction,
and rotten cream will never make NICE
ly-favored butter.
A SICK COW will not produce good
butter. Nor will sick dairyman make
good butter, as rule. The dairy re-
quires too much close attention and
regular work for an invalid to attemp,
to do the practical work in it
K,cs heifer and treat her brutally
generally. and she will probably give
CONVINCING proof of the truth of the
saying that whatever man sows thai
shall he also reap. Sow kicks and YOU
will raise big crop Of them.

nying engraving. At l is spray OF
oat smut; 2 wheat, and 3 a smutted
ear of corn. These figures are not, of
course, drawn to the same scale. In
order better to understand other parts
Of the engraving, it may be said that
smuts are minute plants, so small as to
require the high powers of the micro
scope to be seen. They prey upon the
grain plants, sending their vegetative
flaments into the substance of the
host supporting them. Therefore the
smut fungus consists of two por-
tions, namely. the threads, usual
ly colorless and therefore not
seen unless looked for with great
care, and the bodies, known as
spores, which are minute and spherical
and in mass constitute the smut as seen
by the naked eye Fig. shows the
tips of two such threads and in them
the spores are beginning to form, as
shown by the small spherical masses
near the center Of the threads. At 5
is seen more advanced stage of the
spore formation, while at two spores
are shown free and two below with the
tubes, formed in termination, united.
At Z is seen a spore that is terminating
by producing number of smaller
spores end to end, which are able to
start new colonies elsewhere.
There are several kinds of smut, and
the one shown at 8 is known as the stink
ing smut, grain thus smutted being
shown at 10, both whole and in cross
section, the whole interior of the grain
consisting of powder with an often.
sive odor. A healthy grain, whole and
in section, is shown at s to illustrate
the difference in size and shape be-
tween the good and the smutted grain
At II and IL is shown the formation Of
the spores of this smut, while Other
forms with large and more complicated
spores are seen at 10 and IA.
Dr. Brefelds method of treating
plants was by means of an atoraizel
loaded with the sprout spores grown ir
nutrient solutions. He sowed his seeds
of the smut in wide range of selected
places with the above results. The
spore generation, produced free from
cereal, was able to effectively inoculate
so that the two branches of the expert
ment were carried out at the same
time.-Byron D. Halsted, in County,
