To stack or Not to Stack.

There are those who say that there
is only one side to the stacking ques-
ton, namely, that under all circum-
stances grain should be stacked be-
fore it is threshed. In support of this
it is pointed out that entirely too much
risk is run when grain is left in the
shock after it is dry, this risk involv-
ing, in some cases, the loss CT the en-
tire crop by having it wetted and re
Wetted.
In the main, we believe in stacking
grain. Necessarily, there are not
enough threshing machines in any
community to get the grain out of the
way without endangering a consider
able portion of it while it is in the
shock; and so long as this state OF af-
fairs exists the average man had bet
ter lay his plans to stack his grain
rather than thresh out of the shock.
In spite of the many disadvantages
of leaving grain in the shock for any
considerable length of time, the ma
1ority of persons prefer to run the risk,
their idea being to simply cut down the

stack and again throwing it to the
threshing machine A few of these
are solving the problem by purchasing
what might be called farm outfits
These often solve the difficulty very
satisfactorily where farm is reason
ably large, and where the acreage Of
cereals is small it is often practicable
for two or three to go in together on
the one outfit.
One advantage of this system Is that
Won can thresh just when you want to,
ard are not inconvenience by being
put off from time to time by the man
Is no owns the large outfit. 1t would
not be surprising if this system be-
came quite generally introduced in tie
future. 1t is generally conceded that
there is but little money in the owner
ship of a large threshing outfit, and,
although there are usually plenty Of
me,; who will make the investment,
vet this cannot be expected to last in
definitely. 1t cannot be denied that
there are certain advantages connect
ed with threshing grain as compared
with threshing it directly from the
shock. Grain shrinks less when it
Goes through the sweat while it is still
in the straw, aud the sample, because
of this, is always plumper. 1t is an
open question whether or not this i'm
rrovement of the sample on account
OF sweating in the straw offsets the
labor of putting it in the stack. No
doubt the ideal system is to thresil
and be done with it Just as soon as
tie grain is dry. When this cannot he
done stacking is decidedly preferable
to thai of leaving it stand indefinitely

chard of one grower just before Win-
ter set III this grower hauled manure
to the orchard, but instead of scatter
ing it beneath the trees in the usual
way he banked very few forkfuls
Immediately around the stem of the
tree. When the supply of manure ran
out peat or earth was hauled into the
orchard and banked around the stem
of the tree in the same manner. The
results from the use of these materials
were uniform, and surprising as it
may seem, every tree that received
this simple treatment survived thewin-

Indigestion in Horses.
When the horses have been worked
hard all summer and fed pretty well,
this good feeding is quite likely to be
kept up quite late in the fall, even
though the hard work materially slack
ems and the horses pass the most Of
the time in the barn 1t is during this
period that the heavy feeding is likely
to make trouble and cause indigestion,
which, if not cured, in time is likely
to develop into something more seri-
Gus. Exercise must be freely given
horses whose actions indicate stomach
arrangement, for this alone may
quickly remedy the trouble. Also see
that they have an abundance of fresh
water and that the stables are well
ventilated.
Feeding should always be done after
the horse has had what water it
wants. All corn should be cut out Of
the ration and oats fed in the morn
ire and at noon, with bran mash at
night, in which is mixed a little raw
linseed oil, increasing the amount Of
the latter gradually until the bowels
move freely. The hay given should be
ilst-class and comparatively little
should be fed, and this in the morning
only; preferably it should be well wet
before feeding. The horses should
have no other roughage and the bran
mashes should be kept up until the
tone of the stomach is in normal con-
dition again A horse inclined to indi-
salt in the manger at all tmes.-Ex-

DO business with the farm the same
as YOU would with the bank Indeed
many times money can be more profit
ably invested in the farm than in the
bank. Improvements are always in
order and the farm should constantly
be getting better, either through added
fertility to the soil, or improvements
in other ways, painting or putting
some needed additions to the build
ings, or perhaps by understanding some
field, or piping water to some of the
buildings. Each year should witness
something in the line of Improvement
on every farm.

On every farm where wood is used
for fuel and the ashes are not needed
for some other special purpose, they
ought to be used on fruit trees. Any
one who by accident or otherwise has
applied ashes to a fruit tree has, Of
course, seen that it had marked eff
feet on the growth of it. Potash is re-
quired by fruit trees to larger eN-
tent than the other elements of growth
and as ashes contain large per cent
of potash, it is just what trees need.
But it requires no reasoning to know
that what comes out of one tree is good
for another.

at one shot than he could carry on his
back at one load. Mrs. Boyd sprinkled
a bushel of oats in path. The rabbits
gathered by scores until there was long
row Of them eating oats in the bright
moonlight. The woman fired, and her
aim was accurate. Boyd loaded himself
down with more than 100 pounds Of
dead rabbits, than sank into the snow
and his wife had to help to pull him
out. Mrs. Boyd has sold some OF the
rabbits. She will have the skins tanned
