They held the heights at Bunker Hill,
And, with defiant shout,
Dared King George then, and oil his men,
To capture the redoubt
But when the day OF battle dawned.
And hope OF peace had fed,
With martial din the troops marched In,
And fortified the she'd
The gunner, at his gun, stood fast;
The swordsman smiled NJ fate;
The bugler, too, his loudest blew;
The guardsman held the gate.
''They comet the hated red coats comei"
The general loudly cries;
calm low Don't fire until you see
The white spots in their eyesl"
And every valiant minute man
Stood firmly at his post;
No towards here, no sign of fear
In all the mighty host
Eut for the Boosting Britishers-
Full sorry was their plight,
For oh they say, that awful day
They ran before the fight

small wide tired wheels are used. In
loading one can easily walk up between
the boards with an armful of stalks and
put them anywhere on the load. In u.s.
ing this cart the front end is lifted and
fastened to the axle of tow cart, shown
at Fig. 2.
This tow cart is simply pair Of wheels
with an axle and tongue and seat for
the driver. 1t can be readily hitched to
any load, and the horses will pull more
comfortably than with ordinary whiffle-
trees. Long Island farmers will hitch
their tow carts to heavy loads on bad
spots in tho roads, to road machines or
anything else needing temporary lift.

There are several advantages in cut
ting wheat reasonably early. The grain is
heavier, millers claiming it will make
winter and sweeter flour. Early cutting
also lessons the loss from Smelling out In
handling, while the straw shocks and
stacks better and makes better feed for
tho stock. Cut reasonably early, well
cured and cared for so as to keep in q
good condition, wheat straw makes o
good feed and contains considerable nu-
triment. When the grain is in the
dough, just after 1t has passed the milky
stage, is the popular time for cutting
wheat.
There is no advantage in cutting the
stubble lower than is strictly necessary
to tNve all the grain, asserts Missou-
rian in letter to Prairie Farmer. He
says:
There may be occasions when 1t will
be advisable to cut low in order to secure
more straw, but this will be the excep-
ton rather than the rule. The better
plan usually is to leave the stubble high
and then turn it under, or If the land
has been seeded to grass or clover cut
ting the stubble reasonably high will be
special advantage as protection to
these plants from extreme heat. Wheat
should not be left lying on the ground
any length of time, and so far as is pos
sible the shocking should be kept well
up with the cutting. Take care to set
the bundles SO that they will protect each
other and then cap carefully. Wheat
that is well shocked can stand longer
than almost any grain. ; AT the same
time, when it can be done, it is best to
stack as soon as possible after cutting.

in favor of no covers" This farmer
thinks that the best silo is the one built
of two thicknesses Of cheap sound lum-
Der, with tarred paper between, and the
whole painted with some preparation Of
gas tar Others think that single walls
are sufficient, and still others that they
should be lathed and plastered.
Amarket gardener of Michigan makes
o feature Of keeping the stalks and nub-
bins of sweet corn In the silo. After the
marketable ears have been picked of,
the stalks stand for about week, are
cut and allowed to wilt, then bound
with Irvine into small bundles and
packed into the silo without further cut
ting. They keep well and make excel
lent feed for cows. 1t is q fact that
many farmers with small herds Of cat
tie continue to put their stalks into the
silo uncut. Their silos are generally
small. There is generally more loss than
when the stalks ara out, and 1t is diff
cult to get the bundles out in good shape
for feeding. The smaller varieties Of
flint corn are best for this whole ensi-
lage. This system Is suited only to farm
ers who have but few Lattle and plen-
ty of chore time in winter. It saves the
cost of cutting machinery, and that is
about all.
