BOTH SCIENCE AND "SLiGHT"
 IN WHEAT STACKING

Both science and slight enter into stacking By slight is under stood that peculiar knack or knowl- edge which makes it possible for some men to build a beautiful, thor oughly waterproof stack apparently without half trying" while the care- ful, laboriogs work of another may end in failure as indicated by a lean ing stack or one whose sides later show green.
 Opinions differ as to shape and suitable dimensions for stack or rick. Ghe round stacking being generally in favOr), but all the good stackers are agreed that the foundation is of prime importance. But before foun- dation comes site. The stackyard should be on well drained, yet level ground where it will be most con- venient to have the straw stacked. The one exception to the latter con sideratiOn is where all the straw is to be baled. In this event the length and kind of haul to shed, barn or market should be considered.
 In building the foundation, which may be of straw or timber, the object is to prevent the absorption of water Some recommend a foundation of poles or scantling placed on logs so that the base of the stack will be

eight or ten inches above groJsld to insure free circulation of air under the stack. The air prevents dampness. A common plan in Missouri and other states where rail fences once were plentiful is to use rails for a fOunda- tion. For an ordinary stack three 10-foot rails are placed on the ground about 4 F feet apart and on top of these ten or twelve rails are placed crosswise. For rick, the foundation consists of two such squares. Four stacks or ricks may be grouped for convenience. Leave space for separa- tor between stacks, so that the pitch CTS in getting the bundles to the self feeder will not have to pitch great distance. Plan to do away with all unnecessary labor.
 In starting a stack or rick methods differ. One plan is to set up bundles for foundation just as for a shock in the field. The outside course is then started by placing butts so that they extend a little beyond the outer rail. Then follows the second course with the bundles of the outside course This plan is continued until the mid dle of the stack is reached
 Speaking of the middle, as every good stacker well knows. the center should be kept full and well tramped so as to prevent the finished stack from taking water. It is desirable to have the outer edge of the stack

STRENGTH OF GERMAN
(Continued from Page One)

Were slightly wounded. and recovered, the effective loss is assumed to amount to 1,0OO00O in addition to probably half a million wounded who are absent from the front on leave in hospitals. This makes the total net loss for the year 1.500.00 of whom from four hundred thousand to four hundred and fifty thousand men were killed.
 The Germans it was calculated at the beginning of the war had eight million men available for military ser vice. and that number might be in creased by d million or a million and a half if every man of military age gave service. The only reasonable suggestion therefore. for the fact that the Germans have only 3,2O0O00 mn in the figISing line is that they are unable to supply more than that number with equipment. From the total of eight to nine million men must be deducted the million and a half net loss for the year, and the number of men required for making arms and ammunitions.

settle more than the center so that the outside straws will pitch down and out. When this is done no rain can enter the stack, as to do so the water would have to run upward. On this point Chris Smith, q Cooper county farmer. who follows this plan says:
 Where the science in stacking comes in is in always keeping the middle solid and full so the bundles will be sure to slope, yet not enough to cause a slide. In stack building l always carry or lay two courses at a time and never knee on the out side course, as I want to leave this loose so it will settle most This is equivalent to tramping the center more. When I complete the outer and second courses l take but one course at a time. l always knee or walk on these courses and am careful to lap the bundles to the band Mss Ouri State Board of Agriculture.

Slowly the face of the girl across

woman in muslin gown. Its ruff1es lay
about the throat-such throat 1t in
