For Stacking Wheat.

To stack wheat before threshing 50
comes, is the desire of every farmer
who raises that cereal. Mr.. c. L.
Pritchard, of Randolph. Clay county,
Mo-, has system that he has used for
a generation, and he never lost bit of
wheat by dampness in the stack. He
has great reputation In his home for
this class of work, and he spends a
large part of his time in showing 9th
ers how to do it. He gives descrip-
ton Of his method as follows:
TO stack wheat or oats so stack
will not take water. Commence the
stack or rick any way you wish. But
when you have the stack five or six
feet high, just reverse the usual way
of stacking, and do it from the center
to the outer edge, instead of from the
outer edge to the center. When you
begin at the center to stack out, lay
two or three bundles so as to keep the
center highest, with a good slant to-
ward the outer edge. If at any time
the outer edge gets too high, stop be-
fore you get there, and go back to the
center and commence again. Be sure to
keep the center highest, with a good
slant to the outside.
This way IS just about the same as
one shock on toy Of the other, only
more slant to the bundles.
There is no slip or slide. 1t is fast
and easy, and sure keeps the stack dry.
If you are stacking the usual way, and
the stack should begin to slip, just go
to the center and work out, and see
how quickly you stop the slipping. Mix
1t up little-work from the center
part Of the time. Try it."

Automatic Wagon Brake.

A wagon brake which operates au-

by Mississippi man. The ordinary ar
rangement Of attaching a foot lever be-

The driver is not required to handle
the brake in any way, the simple matt

As shown in the illustration, the brake
Is pivoted so as to come In contact
with the rim of the rear wheel. On
the extreme outer nd of the shafts is
a vertical pivoted lever, one end Of
which connects with a rod extending
to the brake. The upper end of this
lever is connected by strap or chain
to the harness on the horse. As shown,

GOOD CROPS INCREASE IMPORTS.
Use of Agricultural Machinery on Grain
in Poland

The British consul general in Poland
says that, thanks to the good harvest in
1906 in that country. the import of agri-
cultural machinery, especially of steam
thrashers, which are chiefly of British
origin, increased considerably. although
makers put up their prices for all de-
principal British makers were so busy,
he reports. that they were unable TO ac-
cept orders for prompt delivery, which
WERE therefore, secured by German firms
who were better prepared to meet the de-
mand.

WHEN CHIPMUNKS SING.

Chirps a Minute.

The chipmunk is not usually consid

quite Il success in n vocal role.
In Manitoba the chipmunk comes
above ground about the first or second
week of April, says Mr.. Seton in Sue
cess. Mounted on some log or root, il
reiterates loud chirpy "Chuck-chuck
chuck" Other chipmunks run forth
into the sunlight, and seeking some perch
add their Chuck chuck chuck to the
spring salute. They are active from
this time of the year on and their sunny
morning chorus is not by any means con
fined to that original outburst. On April
90 1905, at Cos Cob, | heard chip
munk in full song. He kept it up for
eleven minutes without ceasing, and ut
tered 1870 chrps to the minute. He got
no reply, though he worked very hard
and seemed tired toward the last. On
May %, 1905, at Cos Cob, l heard a
chipmunk singing. He kept it up for
three minutes, uttering three chirps to
the second.
