The Netherlands government, which

the employees have decided to strike
as soon as the law is passed. This

to the machine as in shock threshing, he
does that in stacking with his own ordi-
nary farm help and teams. This we be-
lieve to be the key to the situation. ANY
thing and everything that will keep the
farmers money at home is the end to be
aimed at. Too much money has to be
paid for expensive machinery and thous-
ands of men to thresh our crops, which
money is nearly all carried, away. We
believe that the time will come when our
farmers will see the absurdity of buying
a railroad train, including locomotive,
with which to thresh.

STACK THE WHEAT.

For number Of years those operating
threshing outfits in the fall have had q
hard time of it. Where one made mon.
.ey, ten at least, lost. 1t has not been
poor crops, as they have. been up to the
average. It was not the S3, 000 the outfit
cost, or that the price per bushel charged
was inadequate, as the machine paid on
profitable basis when it was running. It
was the delays which caused the losses.
The board of 80 men. the number of the
crew who were on monthly salaries, the
feed, breakdowns, and getting stalled
while moving. Most of this is directly
attributable to the fact that rains have
been SO frequent, mnch more than ordi-
narily frequent, during the earlier part of
the threshing season. The price paid
per bushel is all the farmers can stand.
Just the solution of the problem is hard
to figure out. The rains are liable to
come, of course, and all that can be
done is, to get in out of the wet and let it
rain. One Of our best farmers said:
There is but one way 70 mend the mat
ter and that by stacking the grain at the
earliest possible moment. . Grain is fit
to stack before it is fit to thresh. 1t can
be stacked in safety when it is not in
condltion to thresh, after a rain storm.
Stacking would seem 10 offer remedy
for the losses Of the threshers and at the
same time help the quality Of the wheat.
Ihreshing generally lasts two months.
More than half Of the grain IS exposed to
injury by elements 40 days. A week or
! ten days would finish the stacking ifs all.
the time could be put 10 ii, and that ex-
ira exposure Of 30 days ouviated. This
you'd do away with the necessity Of the!

AN ARrFUL DoDcER.

The Chronotype seems to think that in
our comparison of Br'er Wilson. of the
Pink Paper, as a debater, to the punching
ball of the pugilists. that we insinuated
that he was stuffed with wind. Not'that
SO much as the difficulty we have found
in conflicts with Br'er Wilson in keeping
him in front of us. He is very "artiul
dodger" in argument. For instance, last
week we stated that we thought that the
publication of crop yields by klocal pap.
ers had but little or no effect on market
prices and gave our reasons why we SO
thought. Mr.. w. picks up the article and
instead of answering rhe reasons given.
showing other reasons, or even giving
our reasons, selects casual reference to
an egg illustration in our article. and then
proceeds to add large number of imag.
nations of his own to the egg, such as
IF it should be rotten" ''if it should be
double-yoked," ''if it should burst" and
before he gets through brings in nearly
the whole city government Of Pembina,
all of which is very amusing, but has
nothing whatever to do with the question
of whether the publication Of wheat re.
ports affect the markets. The only ef.
feet being to draw the attention of the
reader to the egg, which is doubtless the
effect intended by Editor Wilson. Bro
Wilson can argue very we'll when he has
an argument, but when he has none then
he throws rotten eggs.
