To Stack Or Thrash Out Of
The Shock.

Wallaces' Farmer: Notwithstanding
the lateness of the season, harvest
will soon be upon US, and the ques-
tions that should be we'll considered
beforehand is whether it pays the
farmer best to stack his grain or to
thrash it out of the shock.
There is very considerable section
of our territory in which there is no
question of this kind. We refer to
the parts that are given over very
largely to the production Of wheat and
hence become one-crop section. In
many portions of the one-crop area it
is not possible, on account of the scar
city OF labor, to do anything else than
thrash out of the shock. In these
sections the losses from shock thrash
ing are at the minimum. Rains are
infrequent; the weather is settled.
The thrashing is done by large
thrashing outfits, which relieve the

1t is not possible to shock grain in
humid climate without more or less
loss. The sparrows and pigeons will
eat some. Storms will blow down
the shocks; and unless the grain Is
better shocked than that seen on the
avarage farm, much of it will fall
down and be damaged. In case of
several days Of warm, moist weather,
which is not uncommon when grain
is in shock, there will be more or less
termination and subsequent mailing,
to say nothing Of sprouting. In case
any rain falls the grain in the hudders
will become sunburned and therefore
off color. Often blistering of the
bran results. 1t is safe to say that In
the best years the loss in quantity
and quality combined is from five to ten
per cent, and we have often seen 1t
from fifteen to twenty per cent. This
alone would in itself be all-sutficient
reason why farmers should stack their
grain and secure the maximum both

U. 8. Attorney Wagner.

Hon. E. E. Wagner OF Alexandria,
assumed the duties and responsible
ties Of United States Attorney for the
district of South Dakota on Monday
July lst. In nominating Mr.. Wagner
for this important Office the President
placed a competent, conscientious
gentleman in charge Of the federal
business, who will make a record
alike honorable to himself and the
power. The South Dako-
ia delegation In congress, Mr.. Kit
tredge not included, made splendid
when they presented Attor-
ney Waaner's name to the President,
and In the face of Mr.. Kittredge's
bitter opposition, the President
deemed Attorney Wagner worthy of
the office and the influence behind
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-07-05

why not stack your grain. let it go
through the sweat, thrash it when
convenient, and thus keep down the
visible supply and advance the price?
A very strong reason for stacking is
the saving in worry, work. and vex-
alton to the good wife in the matter.
She has troubles enough as it is. Why,
then, should she prepare food for
thrasher, not knowing whether they
will come or not? The machine may
break down, or it may rain, and for
this or some other reason the food in
the preparation of which she has ex-
pended SO much time and labor re-
mains uneaten While perhapes the
thrashing gang may appear afew days
afterward when she is not expecting
them. Our women readers will know
what happens under these circum-
stanes.
In order that thrashing out of the
stack may be practiced to advantage
there must be more or less co-opera-
tion among neighbors. If but one
man stacks his grain he Is obliged to
wait until the thrashing outfit is en-
tirely through. If three or four or
half dozen agree that they will
stack theirgrain, however, the thrash
ermen will be glad to come back even
some distance for jobs of that size.
We believe the better way, however,
Is for the farmers In the neighborhood
to come to an understanding with
each other, and either cooperate in
the purchase of a small thrasher
out or agree to pay a stipulated price
to one man who is willing to purchase
it himself In this way the expense
of hiring hands can be largely avoided,
men and teams can cooperate, and
the good wife will know the exact
day and hour when the sharp appetites
of the thrashers will compliment her
skill In cooking, and there will be
more pro6tand satisfaction all around.
Where farmers contemplate any
thing of this kind, there is no time to
lose before coming to the necessary
and making the neces-
sary arrangements.

women OF the farm of the additional
labor. Storage facilities for the large
crops are not available, and the grain
must be at once rushed to market
without any cleaning than the separ-
ator gives. To our readers in those
sections we have nothing to say on
this subject. In ordinary cases there
is apparently but the one thing to do;
and therefore why discuss any other?
In by far the largest portion of our
territory and with nine-tenths of our
subscribers it is a question whether to
wait for the machine to come around
and take chances, or stack the grain
and thrash it after the shock thrash
ing is done, or by cooperation with
two or three neighbors thrash it them
selves, where machine cannot be OBJ
tanned, at the minimum cost in labor
and with the maximum of yield and
quality.
There are in our judgement three
good and substantial reasons why the
average farmer should stack his grain
In preference to thrashing it out of
the shock.
First, by so doing he will have more
grain and better grain. Second, he
will get better price for it in the
market; and third, he will save the
good wife endless vexation and worry
and work, to say nothing of a consid-
cradle decrease in the cost of board
Ing the hands which must be employ
ed In any case.

The Queen Bee.
(BY S. .CHEATHAM.) j

Of all the inhabitants of abee
hive, the queen is by fer the most
important.
She is the sine qua non other
kingdom and is rendered homage
by her subjects, that would put
any European monarchy to blush.
She lives from two to four years
and her duty is by no means a
.sinecure. Grown and beginning her
laying operations at 8 to 70 days
old. She lays in q strong prosper
ona colony. some three to four
thousand eggs in twenty four
hours during. the warm, honey
months, and laying less and less
as the winter approaches. ceaslng
entirely during two or three OF the
coldest months. She begins again
about February or March with a
few hundred eggs a day and gradu-
ally increasing to Thousands by
sWarming time.
The queen is reared from the
same larva that proddces tho
workers but the bees make the
queen cell largerthan the ordinary
worker cell, find it in the royal
Jelly and when it is capped over
looks yery much like piuder. In
sixteen days from the time the
egg is layed the virgin emerges or
cuts out of the cell aud mingles
with her happy subject. At about
six days old she takes her we'd
ding flight, mates with a drone on
the wing and goes back to her hive
fertilized fol life. In about five
or six days she is grown and be,
gins laying.
The queen after she begins to
lay is not only the most important
(being the mother of all the bees
that gather the honey as well as
the drones) bee in the hive but
the most beautiful one. Short
wings and very long body. An
Italian Princess, as the English
call her, is, something bee keep
er loves to look upon. She has a
sting but you cannot make her
sting you. You can pull her legs
and wings off one at the time but
sting you she will not. She will
sting only another queen.
When laying heavily, the queen
consumes enormous quantities of
chyle which is fed to her out OF
mouths of bees. that Immediately
surround her watching and feeding
her as she requires it. In the
height of the season the weight of
her eggs laysd in day far exceed
her own weight.

blocker Road.Next.

Thousands of bales of cotton
will be hauled to Edgefeld dur
ing the marketing season that is
soon to open, and for this reason
it is important both to the town
and to the farmers who send
heavy wagons over the roads, that
the highways leading to the coun-
ty seat, as we'll SIS to the other
markets in the county, be put in
irst-class condition.
The Ninety Six road is now
being thoroughly worked by one
of the squads, and it is hoped that
the Supervisor will next turn his
attention to the Blocker road.
That road is travelled by very
large number of persons, and by
working the Blocker road now
more taxpayers will be benpftted
sthanif the same attention were
giyen TO any other road in the
county. When public highways;
are thoroughly worked at.thIs sea-
