naek Of doing good job Of stacking.
A good rule to follow is, when starting
a stack to step off twelve ordinary
steps, then this will give you the di
aAeter Of about thirty feet, good
base to start in with, Take a little
time in starting your stack. BY
getting the sheaves set in neat circle
and well placed, you will do wonders
in starting a good stack. By keeping
in mind that the center must be well
built and packed more closely than the
edges, you will have stack with q
firm center that will shed water to
remarkable degree. Don't make tue
mistake of watching your edges AMI
forgetting the center, better rough
edge If . good center is being built.
1t is not SO much the looks As it is the
water shedding qualities of your stack
that counts in heavy rain. When
topping the stack, it does not pay to
throw a few bandleA in . criss-cross
