BUILDING GRAIN STACKS.
The Work Must Be Done Carefully II
They Are to Be Made Water
Proof.

The value of properly constructed
grain stack is only appreciated during
a wet season. If the weather is dry,
almost any kind OF stack will do.
The bottom of a grain stack should
be started in the same way as a round
shock. Care should be taken to have
the bottom Of the stack perfectly
round with the heart OF the stack in
the middle to induce even setting on
all sides. The bundles are all set on
end In the bottom Of the stack so that
the heads of grain VIII not come In
contact with the ground, as shown in
Fig. l, which represents a cross-sec-
ton of bottom OF grain stack, ready
for the second layer of bundles.
One of the most important things
TO remember. says the Orange Judd
Farmer, is to keep the stack highest
in the center and as solid as possible.

REAL VALUE OF SPRAYING.
In Fighting Disease and Insects One
Should Not Depend Too
Much on It.

So rapid has been the advancement
of spraying as a means of controll-
ing insects and diseases, that there
is a tendency to greatly overestimate
its value. 1t was only 26 years ago
that Paris green was first used for
the codling moth of apples. Not un-
til about 1885 was the Bordeaux mix
ture used to any extent. When we
remember that practically all of our
modern spraying-its tools, mixtures
and methods, has been developed or
made of practical utility within the
past Is or 20 years, until it has come
to be an almost universal practice
among the most successful fruit
growers, we can readily understand
why greater Importance is some
times ascribed to it than it really
merits. Spraying is a new idea, says
Farming, and like most new ideas, it
has been accomplished. There are
some old and a few new ways of solv.
ing the insect and disease problems
Sometimes these other ways may be
better even than spraying, sometimes
they may supplement it very advan
tageously. We should not forget
them in our enthusiasm over a new
and valuable remedy
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1906-10-09

This is necessary in order to make
the center high enough to give the
bundles on the outer row a slant of at
least 20 degrees. A person with ex-
perience using a fork will even be
able to give the outer rows of bum
dies a slant out and downwards of as
much as As degrees, while he keeps
we'll towards the center of stack.
Fig shows the bundles of upper
half of stack with slant of about 20
degrees. A little experience will en-
able the operator to stick the bundles
of the outer row with the butt ends
lightly into the center of bundles be-
low. This will prevent the outer row
from slipping.
Topping out a stack properly is
the most difficult part. 1 have found
that 80 per cent of all stacks that
draw water take it midway between
the bulge and the top. Hence this par
ticular point in the stack should be
very carefully constructed. Never
draw the stack in rapidly at the
start, as this always has tendency
to cause it to take water. The last
few feet of the top are by no means
so particular, because the top is mar
now and will dry out quickly, even if
it should become a little wet. If wa
ter is taken in lower down in the
stack it will not dry out until the
grain is more or less spoiled. The
last four or five feet Of stack may
be drawn in considerably quicker
than the lower part, just so 1t is kept
high and full in the center.
Fig 8 shows the outline of COM
pleted stack Through the bulge from
a to b it is IA feet across, while st
the bottom it is IL feet across. If
the operator has experience, he may
with good results put on larger
bulge, as it would improve the stock
in settling, allowing the outer rows
of bundles to slant at considerable
greater degree. But for the benefit
of those who have very little or no
experience it is best to put on
very little or no bulge at all, because
if this is not properly done so that
it comes out even on all sides the
stack will be sure to settle over the
one side and then to take water dur
ing heavy rain.
If line is drawn through stack
from to d it will be seen that the
pressure at this point, when the
stack settles down, will be consider
ably greater than on outside from
bulge to ground, hence it is very ina,
portant to keep center of stack high
and solid sail through. A narrow
stake sharpened to point at lower
end and about FIVE feet long should
be thrust down into top Of stack to
prevent wind from blowing OF the
last bundle~

GREAT POWER IN THREADS
Simple Explanation of the Ability of
the Spider TO Lift Heavy
Objects

DIR. Phin describes, among other
strange things. how a spider con-
trived to lift from the ground snake
that was. of course, many times heavi-
er than itself. The story is of inter
est chiefly for the scientific explana-
ton which is given of the way in
which the thing was done.
Some years ago in small village in
New York state a spider entangled a
milk snake in her threads and actually
raised it some distance from the
ground, in spite of the struggles Of the
reptile, which was alive
But what process of engineering did
the comparatively small and feeble in
mechanical means? The solution is
easy enough if one only gives the
question a little thought.
The spider is furnished with one of
the most efficient mechanical nipple
ments known to engineers, namely, a
strong elastic thread There are few
substances that Will support a greater
strain than the silk of the spider. Care
full experiment has shown that for
equal sizes the strength of these fbers
exceeds that of common iron; but not
withstanding its strength the spiders
thread would be useless as a mechani-
cal power if it were not for its elias
ITCHY
The spider has no blocks or pulleys
and therefore cannot cause the thread
to divide up and run in different di-
rections, but the elasticity of the
thread more than makes up for this
and renders possible the lifting of an
animal much heavier than a snake.
Let us suppose that child can lift
a six pound weight one foot high and
can do it 20 times a minute. Furnish
him with $50 rubber bands. each cap
able of pulling six pounds through one
1 foot when stretched. Let these bands
be attached to a wooden platform on
which stand a pair of horses weighing
I 2.10O pounds, or rather more than
ton.
If, now. the child win go to work and
stretch these rubber bands singly.
hooking each one up as it is stretched,
in less than 20 minutes he viii have
raised the pair Of horses one foot.
The elasticity of the rS0ber bands
enables the child to divide the weight
of the horses into $50 pieces of six
pounds each, and at the rate of little
less than one every three seconds, he
lifts all these several pieces one foot
so that the child easily lifts this enor
nous weight
Each spiders thread acts like one Of
the elastic rubber bands The spider
would have to connect the snake with
the point from which it was to be sus-
pended by a sufficient number Of
threads BY pulling successfully on
each thread and shortening il little,
the snake might be raised to any
height within the capacity Of the
building in which the work was done

This waist, which is so ubiquitous
is rather girlish affair and can be
worn with actual success only by the

to the general use of any one beyond

any woman on the tennis courts and
the golf links.
No one can exercise violently in a

OF AID TO HOSTESS
SUGGESTIONS THAT MAY PROVE
A PRESENT HELP.
AN OLD FASHIONED AFFAIR.
A Novel Luncheon Where Guests Are
Invited to Dress in Cotton Frock
and Bring Thimbles-6e Fore
handed.


Ten young matrons we're the re-
cipients of rather unique invitations
for a luncheon which was given last
week The postman delivered the
notes, which were sent on large
sheets of paper folded and sealed
with wax bearing the signet of the
hostess. She said the idea came to her
when she found some letters written
by her great-grandfather in the early
years of the ninteenth century. The
notes said:
"Will Mistress Mary Pembroke ar
ray herself in her best cotton gown
and appear at the residence of Mis-
tress Margaret Kent on Friday at the
hour of one, to meet an assembly of
young matrons?
"Will she put her thimble in her
reticule to help sew upon much-need-
ed garments for the children of the
poor?"
On the day appointed the guests
were ushered into a dining-room
which was literally transformed into
an old-fashioned garden. There were
tall hollyhoeks in the corner, stand
ing in huge brown stone crooks, trail
ing vines on the plate rails and large
bowls of nasturtiums on the mantel-
piece. The table was set with gold
band china, an heirloom in the fam
fly, and the menu was prepared from
recipes taken from very old family
cook book.
After the repast the hostess told of
the great need for new clothes for
the little children who were taken to
the various "fresh air" sanitariums,
and she produced a bolt of material
from which to make night gowns and
greatly interested, and decided to
meet once a week during the summer
to sew for these unfortunate babies.
AS one guest said: 1T isn't half bad
not to be able to leave town, If one
lust keeps busy and interested" And
another one said: ut was heaps bet
ter to all be hot together doing some
thing, than to stay at home trying to
keep cool" and so the good work for
charity goes on.
Speaking of chraity work makes
me think that l saw young woman
who is prominent in church circles
making a tour of the bargain coun-
ters the other day, and to my interro-
CATION as to her keen interest in the
many various trifes, she said: 81
am getting supplies for the grab bag
and novelty booth for the church
bazar next fall" While l was COM
mending her forehandedness, ran
INFO a clever matron who greeted me
with a most top-lofty air, saying:
1--WE Just completed my Christmas
shopping, my dear, and won't you all
envy me a few months hence?" She
said she thought she had saved
enough on her purchases to take an
unexpected trip, to say nothing of the
saving of nerve force and energy;
besides she had the immense satisfac-
