Thrashing Stacked Grain.


In the majority of cases it pays to
stack grain in the corn belt or in sec
tons where diversified farming, in dis
tinction from all small grain or one
crop farming, is conducted. The differ
ence in the cost of shock thrashing and
stacking and stack thrashing, is com
paratively small, smaller than the aver
age farmer realizes. We have a few
figures on the subject from the Min
nesota Experiment Station which will
be OF special interest in this ccnnec-
ton. The cost per bushel of shock
thrashing wheat was IA cents, while
the cost of stacking and stack-thrash-
ing was 101 cents per bushel, a DIFF
ference Of 81 cents per bushel. In
the per buShel cost mentioned all labor,
machine cost, etc, is taken into con
SideratiOn. Let us see what this means :.
Under ordinary conditions stacked
grain will grade at least one grade
above grain that is thrashed from the
shock, and in Il wet season the differ
ence may be great deal more than
that If you watch the markets you
will find there is usually a difference
of 2 cents in the price Of No. l North
ern and No 2 Northern wheat. This
means that the gain of one grade in
wheat nearly pays the extra cost in
cident to stacking and stack thrashing
as compared with k-thrashing.

To Destroy Thistles.

Salt or kerosene, applied after the
| clump of thistles is cut doWn, will de-
stroy them, but such method is slow
and costly where the field is in posses
sion of the pest. Many other methods
have been suggested for their appli-
cation. A piece of root Erock an inch
long if left in the soil will make Il
foundation for new crop. A piece
inches long will grow to 10 feet
in six months, and weigh or pounds,
and from each small piece from forty
to fifty heads will grow An old rule
is to pillow the land in June, drag
| twice in July, pillow . or inches deep
/ two or three times in August and har-
row each time" Any tool that will
cut off the tops in August or early in
| September will destroy them, as they
cannot live if the tops are cut doWn-
! Experiments made at the Illinois sta
| ton succeeded in completely eXtermi-
mating them by observing the follow
! Ing rules: % Cut the thistles wheE
/ in full bloom, as close to the ground
as possible, and then pillow 3 inches
deep, sowing millet or Hungarian grass,
! seeding heavily, and then harrow. (2)
liz September pillow the millet under
and then seed heavily with rye PloW
the rye under in May and again seed
to millet or Hungarian grass Cor plant
hoe crop, such as cabbageS or pOta-
tOes). 90 Continue the close cult
vatiOn, being careful to keep the weeds
cut down from July until frost. If
frost is not here too soon the con-
| slant cutting down of the thistles as
fast as they appear will greatly re
, duce their number or eXtermine them.

Cost of Hauling Farm Products.


Frank Andrews of the United States
Agricultural Department, writes 'In
hauling products from farms in wagons
there are opportunities for a saving
in cost In many regions in the United
States the improvement of road, Or
a short, rough section of road, would
allow much larger loads to be hauled
than at present. If it were possible
to increase the average weight of a
wagon load of cotton in the United
States from three bales, as it now is, to
four bales, without increasing the cost
of hauling the load, the saving on the
crop equal to the one picked in 1905
would amount to 100000; and if the
average load of wheat, now fifty-fiye
bushels, were increased by twenty
bushels. the saving increased in hauling
a crop like that of 1905 would be more
than SSOOO.OOO."
