For Stacking Wheat.

To stack wheat before threshing so
that it will be dry when that time
comes, is the desire of every farmer
who raises that cereal Mr.. c. I.
Pritchard of Randolph, Clay county,
Mo, has system that he has used for
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 q deScrip-
ton Of his method as follows:
ITO 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 top 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
it up a little-work from the center
part Of the time. Try it,

The EEE md the Chick,

That immutable law of physics that
matter cannot be annihilated, or, vice
versa, created out of nothing, appears
to have some doubters even in this day
of general education. The old query,
which weighs the most, the egg or the
chicken that is Matched from the egg, is
a very good example of this lack of
faith. To settle the matter for the
hundredth time, experiments were re-
Gently undertaken at one of the agri-
cultural stations engaged in poultry
studies. 1t was found that a fertile
egg during the process of incubation
lost a little over 20 per cent in weight,
while the chick Matched from such an
egg weighed 80 per cent less than the
egg before incubation. A sterile egg
receiving similar treatment lost not
quite Is per cent in weight

THE STORY OF A WISCONSIN MAN

To-day Is Worth $4,000.

Of which the agents Of the Canadian
Government throughout the United
States receive similar ones many times
during the year:
Caylay, Alta, Dec. {, 1906
Agent Canadian Government, Water
town, S. D.:
Dear Sir-Your letter dated Nov. y
at hand and was very glad to hear
from you. | see that you are still at
work persuading people to move into
the Canadian Northwest. ! must tell
you that | owe you many thanks for
persuadiug me to come out here; am
only sorry that | wasn't persuaded
sooner, and there is still plenty Of good
chances for many more right at the
present time. / hope that you will be
able to induce more to make start out
to this part of the country.
Now | must tell you what ! have &C
complished since | came out here, and
1t won't be three years till the 1st of
July next. l shall shortly receive my
patent for my homestead; the home
stead cost me $1,000 in all !; to-day it
IS worth $1,000 per acre, but it is not
for sale. Then a year ago last May
/ bought 800 acres at 500 per acre
and sold this fall for $1,000 per acre
and cleared a profit of 81, 100. How
is that for the Northwest? | now
have 32O acres of land and all paid
for, - head of horses, 80 head of cat
tie, % pigs sheep and about 80
chickens and other poultry, and all
new machinery, and everything is paid
for. We also bought lots in Cal
$40 for the ID lots and they are paid
for. At present | consider myself
worth $4,000, and when | left Wis
consin less than three years ago l
had about $1,000. This year |
threshed a little over 1000 bushels
of grain, have about 600 bushels of
fine potatoes and about 500 bushels Of
turnips Mrs. Beisiegel sold about
5000 worth of garden truck and poul-
try this fall Now there are lots of
others in this community who did as
well as | did in the same length of
time.
The family and myself are all we'll
at this writing and hope this letter
will find you the same. Yours very
truly,

When Flies Com

To prevent flies from settling on pic
ture frames and chandeliers, boil three
or four onions in pint of water and
apply the water with a soft brush. In
many city homes or where houses are
to be closed for the summer common
unbleached cheesecloth is used to pro-
tect pictures and frames from flies.
Cut a piece of cloth large enough to go
all around the picture. Let the picture
face down on this, put the cloth around
and haste up at the back. A glazed
tarletan that is transparent makes a
still better covering.

Prey of the Sparrow Hawk.

The sparrow hawk almost invariably
catches a flying bird for its meal, even
striking down birds as large as the
wood pigeon, though usually going no
higher than a black bird. 1t does not
exactly swoop like the larger hawks,
yet i must have conditions of chase
of its own choosing. That is why the
small birds usually mob it with impu-
nifty when they are numerous enough
to bewilder it. Once, however, l saw
a sparrow hawk that had been modest
ed for some minutes by a perfect cloud
of green fnches, dart among them and
secure Il victim.
The other day l had one of these
birds pointed out as the one which,
few days earlier, had come close to
the house toward dusk and caught
bat on the wing. That, however, is a
very unusual meal.-London News.

Marble Spice Cake.

Cream three-quarters of a cup of but
ter with two cups of sugar, then divide
into equal parts. Into one part put the
beaten yolks of four eggs and the stiff
ened whites into the other half. Into
the light part stir three-quarters of a
cup of sweet milk and two small cups
of flour sifted with teaspoonful of bak-
ing powder. Into the dark part put a
teaspoonful of allspice, one-half tea
spoonful each of ginger, cloves and nut
meg, one teaspoonful of cinnamon and
a teaspoonful of vanilla extract. Stir
the two parts lightly together, not
enough to blend them, but just enough
to give the batter a "marbled' effect.

The bureau of statistics recently sent
out special inquiry circular to ascer-
tain the cost of hauling farm crops to
shipping points, and the compiled re-
suits representing replies from nearly
1000 counties in different parts of the
United States indicate that the guam
tity of farm produce annually hauled
amounts to 100000 tons The cost
of hauling the same is estimated at ap-
proximately SS5,OOO,OOO, which is an
average of 81 cents per hundred
weight.
In general, the hauling cost is to a
large extent dependent upon the value
of the articles hauled, the more valu-
able products taken to market oftener
and in smaller loads, and therefore at
a greater cost. Corn, wheat, hay and
potatoes are hauled at from to 8
cents per 100 pounds; tobacco and hogs
at 10 cents per 100 pounds; cotton, 16
cents, and wool, A cents.

Effect of Meat-Inspection Law.

In an address delivered before the
New York State Breeders Association,
at Syracuse, G. 2. McCabe, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, discussed the principal provisions
Of the United States meat-inspection
law, the manner in which the provi-
sions are enforced, and the bearing of
the law upon the production and han
ding of meats.
ITO secure the best results, the
breeders and feeders of every State in
the Union should take up vigorously
the question of the extension OF mar
kets and should back the Department
of Agriculture in an inslstend demand
for an absolutely efficient, vigilant,
fair and square meat inspection. q
If due regard be had for clean
illness, decency and honesty in the pre-
paration and marketing of our meat
products, the United States will con-
tinue to lead the world in the live
stock and meat trade"

Wall street associates of the great

unanimously that the tinancier is seldom

that Mr.. Keene is absent minded occa-

prove it. Keene and his fellow bull
batter" Washington E. Conner were at
the Keene country place outside of New
York. 1t was a beautiful summer even
ing, and Conner proposed a stroll
through the magnificent grounds. Though
the guest had left all the cares and wor-
ries of the street in the city, apparently
the host had not. The two started on the
walk, but Conner noticed that Keene
was strangely uncommunicative. Sud
denly the full moon appeared above the
trees. and Conner regarded its splendor
in silence for a moment. Then he turned
to his companion:
Isn't the moon beautiful, Keene?'
he asked.

Tapan,s Empress a Poetess.

Haru-ko is not only a woman of great
intelligence and erudition, but a poetess
of talent; she will certainly. take her
place in the literary history of her coun-
try Every japanese child knows her
poetry, says the London Bystander, by
heart, and on all the important events of
the reign she has written verses. Once,
when the imperial palace had been de-
stroyed by fire, the sovereigns accepted
the hospitality of daimio, who gave
them his own palace while their own was
being reconstructed. The royal party and
suite were far from comfortable. But
when the empress heard that the people
were plying her, she replied by charm
ing poem. the gist of which is this: THE
luxury of life is of little consequence to
me- for one dwelling only | crave-the
hearts of the people" And her desire
has been realized.
