| HOW TO STACK
1t does not reduire great skill to
stack, but, of course, experience is
necessary to insure perfection in
stacking grain. The method to be
followed is in outline as follows: A
tier OF sheaves should be laid after
the fashion followed in building Il
round shock. This tier should be so
wide as the stack and circular in
| form. The stacker then begins in
the center of the stack to lay the
| next tier, The sheaves of this tier
lap over one another SO as to make
the center the highest part, the lap
| being less and less toward the out
side of the stack. The butts of the
last tier of sheaves should extend
beyond the sheaves Of the first tier.
Each succeeding tier is laid similar
ly, gradually increasing the height
of the stack relatively in the center
and gradually swelling the diameter
by the overlapping of the butts until
the height of about 10 feet is reached i.
A few tiers then follow of al equal
circumference, and then the stack
shrinls in diameter with the laying
of each succeeding tier, keeping the
center high until the last tier Of
sheaves is laid. The narrowing Of
the stack is brought about by not
permitting the sheaves Of each tier
last laid to extend SO far out as those
Of the preceding tier.
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
The stack should not have u diam.
eter more than will enable the men
on the stack to work without discom-
fort. The one who lays the sheaves
usually treads on each as he lays it.
The sheaves should be pitched onto
the stack from the wagon OH different
sides of the same. If all are pitched
on from one side the stack will settle
most Oh the opposite side, hence the
stack will naturally tip to that side.
The top covering should be of some
material That will readily turn rain.
For this purpose there is nothing
better than slough hay or Kentucky
blue grass. If kept high i'll the CEN
ter and properly spread, it does not
take much for each stack. The stack
should not be SO wide that it will call
for the work of more than two men
TO build it. One takes the sheaves
as they are thrown onto the stack
from the wagon and pitches them to
the stacker.
WHEN STACKING OUGHT TO BE DONE
The stacking ought to be done as
soon as the grain is dry. 1t may be
necessary to delay, however, until
the grain is all cut; that is, it may
be necessary to delay each kind of
grain until that kind is all cut. 1t
is ready to stack in a few days after
it is cut. The number Of days called
for to leave the grain in the shock
will decrease with increasing ripe
ness in the grain. When building
the stacks they should be arranged
with an eye to convenience III thresh
ing. The aim should be to SO place
them that they could be thrown to
the machine from both sides, having
an opening between the two tiers of
stacks in which the machine could
be moved forward from time to time
10 allow the crop to waste after it
has been grown is nothing short of u
crime.

CHEAP WAY T0CLEAR LAND

Spokane papers report plan to
clear stump land, the chief features
being saving of time and ex-
pense and protection to the soil
from injury bv burning. 1t is rec
commended by I. M. Howell secre-
tary of state of Washington. who
outlines the method in a letter to
the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce as follows
1.-The apparatus required is a
small engine, an air compressor
costing about SIS, aud two 2 II inch
augers of different lengths. The
plan is to bore down straight into
the center of the stump to the pith;
fill the hole with kerosene and or
dinary saltpeter, of proportion OF
eight ounces Of nitte to gallon OF
oil !; plug and leave for a month.
Then fill again with the same mix,
ture and leave for another month
Then bore another hole, o! !
liquely this time, and from a point
near the surface OF the ground up
ward to join with the vertical bore
Then start a fire of dry pieces of
wood. Within few weeks the
stump will be destroyed to the last
root and without burning a lot of
good wood, while the soil will not
he hi1rf IL, the least
''There is no doubt about the
practicability of the plan. It has
been tried many times and with
repeated success, while the cost Is
within the reach of all. An adj
vantage in the method is that little
attention is required for each stump,
thus saving the time of the clearer.
In this way one man can clear
many stumps within a short time.
The fact that it does not burn the
soil should particularly recommend
the method. Time and expense
can also be saved Little or no
wood is burnt in the process. This
can he saved for Use III stoves.
"A fair trial of this method will
convince the most skeptical there

IS IT "H0! FOR MEXIC0?"

Kalispell Journal: Adjt. General
Phil Greenan, commanding the 2nd
regiment, Montana National guards,
came in unannounced late Saturday
afternoon and spent the evening in
private consultation with local off,
GERS of the Guards. He left the
same night for Libby. General
Greenan IS visiting every company
IN the State. The local officers
have little to say in regard to the
generals visit or the chances of
the National Guards being sent to
Mexico. However by order of the
War Department every enlisted
man and officer in the Guards of
this State must undergo a physical
examination Immediately aud any
who do not pass the same satisfac-
torily will be discharged from the
service.
While this order of the War
Department does not prove con-
clusively that the National Guards
are to be called into service, it
does prove that there is something
III the air more than newspaper
talk. The fact that the company
commanders have in their hands
the day and night addresses of
their men proves that a call to
service will not he unexpected at
any time. General Greenan is
known to have made the statement
while in the city that it is his per.
sonal opinion that the Montana
regiment will be in Mexico within
sixty days. And you can pretty
near take his word for it.

THE RESULT IN ILLINOIS

Returns from the primaries held in
Illinois Tuesday Indicate that Col.
Roosevelt defeated Pesident Taft by
a vote of nearly two to me-. Since
the result has been known ewspapers
and politicians have been trying to
figure out the cause. Various reasons
have been assigned for the Roosevelt
victory, among which are that he is
well known as an anti Lorimer man.
that his vote was the result of local
issues, and that Governor Deneen car
ried him through.
While it is probable that there is
some truth in all these assertions, the
principal reason has not been so far
advanced. The vote cast at the IL
linois primaries was very light, fall
ing short of half a million. The
largest vote was cast in the cities,
principally by w%orkingmen, the great
majority of whom are socialistic in
their views and would vote for a man
like Roosevelt, who breaches revolu-
%tionary doctroines, in preference to
President Taft, who believes in law
and order and that employers have
rights. as well as employees.
But sit takes more than n swal-
low to make spring. and it will take
more than the delegation from one
state to nominate a candidate for the
presidency. While Roosevelt is con-
coded So of the So Illinois delegation,
that number will probably represent a
full one-third of his entire strength
on the first ballot in the convention.
Taft did not need Illinois to assure
his nomination, but Roosevelt was
obliged to carry the state to avoid a
collapse of his campaign.
