STACKING GRAIN.

There is no reason why every farm
er'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 a trim, symmetri-
cal, rain-proof stack. Select the site
of the desired stack remote from the
shade of any building or grove and
arrange the bottom so that there will
be free circulation of air under
meath. The plan of preparing a con-
cave bottom, to give stability to the
rick, is not desirable, on account of
the natural tendency of the layers of
sheaves to settle into a concave posi-
ton also, and make hollow in the
center Of the stack, the very thing
most to be avoided. Fix a firm,
slightly convex foundation out of
stovt e~iae n~ ecantliu0s and inhed
in the ground short corner uprights,
to give rigidity to the bottom of the
stack. Put down first a layer of straw
and then begin the stack. Put cir
Gle 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 sheaves of the Sec
ond circle to lap half of their length
on the first. Follow the same prac-
tice until the limit of the bottom is
reached, and then begin at the center
again. A stacker should be on lis
knees all of the time, and compress
the bundles snugly as he follows the
circle around. Let the outside ring
of the second layer project very slight
1y over the foundation layer, and re-
peat until the middle of the desired
stack height is reached. Then place
each successive layer a little nearer
the center, and gradually bring to a
tapering peak. It is of vital impor-
tance that the center of the stack
be kept more full and cone shaped all
Of the way up than is really wanted.
1t will fatten out greatly by settling.
A steep, smooth pitch is imperative
ly required in the "roof" part of the
stack. Straw should not be discolor-
ed by wet and exposure more than a
few inches on the butts of the outside
sheaves. It is good plan to cap the
peak with thatching of broad-leaf
marsh grass, and hang rails over the
peak connected by hay rope, to hold
it on. Grain properly stacked in the
manner described will come through
wet weather without damage to ker-
mel of its growth if it is thoroughly
dry when put up. There is enough
grain spoiled annually on farms by
bad stacking to pay for the erection
of many a commodious barn.

"SpEAK1N' OF twins, f" said the old
man Chumpkins, there was two
boys raised in Our neighborhood that
looked just alike till their dyin' days.
Lem didn't have any teeth, and his
brother Dave did, but they looked
precisely alike all the same. The
only way you could tell 'em apart
was to put your finger in LENS
mouth, and if he bit yer twas Dave. "

"I had the confoundest time at the
hotel I stopped at while was down
to the city," remarked Uncle Hay
seed to the admiring crowd who col
lected at the store to hear of his
Journey. "They had great, big
dining g-room there, and more'n hum
dred walters, but none of 'em came
around where was. I sot there as
much as hour, an none of 'em paid
the least bit of attention to me. FL
nally a man at the table with me,
who was just fnishin' his dinner,
says: You'll have to tip one OF the
walters if you want to get attention
here
"Wall, lowed I cud do that fast
enuff, fer felt about mad just then,
so the very next waiter that came
skipping by with hull raft O. dishes
over his head, Iput out my foot and
tipped him quicker'n wink. That
was the quickest way to get attention
I ever seed. Why, l he'd the whole

seconds. !"

BY EDWIN HIGGINS.

We sing of thee, o, glorious day,
Fragrant with deed sublime.
You for the people cleared the way,
Through all the realms of time.
On sunlit peaks the cedars sing,
From snow-clad cliffs clear fountains spring
They blend their music with the sea
In mighty chorus for the free.
-1Oudy we Dlenu
And sing and sing of Aud Lang Syne.
You fired hearts of the waiting world,
Declared the valiant free,
Brave Freedoms banner wide unfurled,
From mountains to the sea.
The sleepless stars in glory sing.
Down from their throne their splendor bring,
To blaze "Old Glory's'' ample folds,
Sing of the free, strike for the bold,
Today we blend our song with thine,
And sing and sing of Auld Lang Syne.
Thine is spirit brave and strong,
Borne down the stream of time,
To do the right, suppress the wrong,
And lift to heights sublime.
Our hearts, our hands, go out to thee
Like happy ships to boundless sea;
Touch longing hearts, o set them free
To breathe the air of liberty.
Today we blend our song with thine
And sing and sing of Aud Lang Syne.
The rising nations near and far
Welcome thy golden light;
They'll follow thy transcendent star,
And stand for God and right.
Then will the earth's wide arches ring
In joyful songs all people sing
Their sweetest anthem ever rise
To God, who rules both men and skies.
Today we blend our song with thine,
And sing and sing of Aud Lang Synes
