TON OF THAT IOLICY5 PAYS
"a, IN DOLLARS AND CENTS

In view Of the experience Of farmers
IN North Dakota during ire last few
falls, the following discussion of the
question, "Does Stacking ray?" by o.
D. Center, the Grand Forks County Bet
ter Farming Expert will be Of interest.
MIR. Center writes:
''Today"s successful farmer is very
different sort Of a farmer than the
successful farmer Of decade ago.
"The successful farmer Of today must
know something Of tn, science of farm
ing and also something of the business
side Of farming. These must be combin-
ed in working proportions Either with
out the compliment of the other is not
sufficient to pr auce success in its most
economical, practical, profitable, maxi
mum. The fact that many farmers have
made money and have apparently been
successful without a recognition Of the
science of farming, without the aid of
systematic plans for field management,
and without any system Of farm accounts
does not signify that they could not
have made more money, with less labor
with infinitly greater economy and
therefore have achieved greater success
had thy employed these recognized aids
and necessaries in their farm operations.
1--WE question if there is one per cent
of the farmers of North Dakota who
have considered the stacking of grain
from a business standpoint. Does it pay
in hard dollars and cents, to stack, or
shall we continue to thresh from the
shock as the common practice is.
e when we experience a fall such as
we haze ha1 or the past month, almost
every one will agree that stacked grain
will give better quality seed than grain
that has been subject to tn, continued
rains and wet weather.
Carefully and accurately conducted
experiments and invest. cations in Min.
| ncsota, Iowa and Illinois show that the
stacking Of grain pays in actual dollars
and cents.
Stacking prevents deterioration,
makes grain better color with plump.
er kernels, and with q smaller per cent
spoiled or sprouted. Exact comparisons
Of costs of stacking and threshing from
the stack, against threshIng from the
shock are available on practically every
kind Of grain common in North Dakota
These comparisons on the same field
under similar weather conditions and
| with the same average yields show as
| apparently additional cost for stacking
of IL cents per bushe yield. This ap.
| parent additional cost is offset, howeve,
by the insurance against bleached
sprouted or bin burnt grain and by the
improvement Of grade.
Improvement in grade of stacked
grain is often sufficient to pay the en-
tire additional cost for stacking and give
from to cents additional profit pc,
bushel yield. Only when machines ant
labor are suickly available soon aftel
harvest and uniform weather condition,
positive, will standing in the shock bt
offset. since in standing loss Of grad,
is no slight item. Shock threshing o.
seed grain is even then questionabl,
since stacking seed grain insures plump
er kernels of unimpaired vigor and ,
| strong vitality"

ing that he had been robbed on train
on which he was journeying from his
boyhood home in Dundee. N. T., back to

HE said that his name was Peter s.

old next March. While on the train he
claimed that he was robbed and was

of philosophy which naturally go with
such story. The proprietor Of the To-

came rather suspicious. especially when
the old mans ship had failed to come

News was read to- him claiming that he
was fake and had duped charitable
institutions at Devils Lake and also at
Minneapolis. This he firmly denied until
the Minneapolis police department was
called up for further information. The
News article was sustained by the po--
lice and the "centenarian" was ordered

MRS. w. c. PALMER TELLS HOW
BEST TO COOK sPUDs

North Dakota potatoes have quality,
They command a premium On the mar.
ket both for seed and table use. To bring
out the quality in the potato It needs
to be cooked right. The following re-
cipes by Mrs. w. G. Palmer. wife OF the
well known professor Of the state, agrt-
cultural college are recommended:
To obtain the highest food value In
potatoes they should be either boiled
or baked in their skins. When potatoes
are pared before cooking the least loss
is sustained by putting them directly
into the boiling water. Do not allow
pareo potatoes to stand in cold water
before boiling. 40 it has been found
that this results In; d loss Of nutrients.
1t takes from twenty to thirty minutes
to boil potatoes ana 3about an hour ito
bake medium sized ones. To tell when
potatoes are, cooked try with 9 fork.
When the fork passes through the po-
toes should be served at onca. They BE-
which the potatoes Nare cooked should
not be used. for anything else II one
wishes the potatoes to be as white as
possible.
Select potatoes Of medium size, wash
clean by using vegetable brush, rinse
in clear water and cook in boiling sailed
water. sufficient to cover. When done,
drain and remove cover, shake kettle a
few times and the potatoes are ready to
serve. Treat potatoes that are to be
boiled pared in the same way, only re-
move skins in thin parings.
Select potatoes with smooth skins, me-
the bottom Of a clean, moderately hot
oven. When done pierce in center to al
low the steam to escape. Baked pota-
toes should b served at once. They be-
come soggy If allowed to stand.
Select and wash as for baked potatoes.
Bake. When done take out two at q
time. Cut small opening the size Of a
mixing bowl, using care not to injure

potatoes have been removed, mash. add

Wash, pare and remove imperfect
