THIS IS GOING A LITTLE TOO FAR

Instead of blessing these brilliant
scientists and inventors we may socn
be forming vigilance committees to
lynch them. Some of them are
growing little too personal. Here
is Edison at 6S---an age at which we
should expect discretion Inventing
the atelescribe", a combination of
telephone and phnnograph by which
telephone conversations may be pie
served. The photograph was bad
enough, but this new instrument Of
publicity carries with it the threat Of
greater terrors still. II for every
idle word we say over the telephone
we may be called on TO give an ac-
count later, which Of us shall 'scape
whipping? And if Eat lowers per-
juries Jovs laughs" when they are
simply humor to bis private ear, how
Oh, mpus will ring with his hilarlty
when their honeyed talks over the
telephone become publ; property in
a breach of promise suit through the
aid of this diabolical continuance.
But this is nothing to what Mar
conf is reported to have done just
before he sailed away for the bloody
fields of war. He has invented
something by which ore can look
through partition wall and see what
Is going on in the next house.
Marconi, more com cientions than
Edison, hesitates to patent this in
vention, but sooner or later be will
yield to his vanity, and put the whole
world out il to the open.
This is publicity with vengeance,
but the worst is probably still to come.
The next thing will be an invention
which will tell everybody what we
are thinking about. But, thank
heaven, that invention will bring
such social horror and frenzy as will
hang the inventor to the next lamp
post. There's dead line for inyen-
tors as well as other folks when they
get too smart.

HARVEST IN SOUTH.

The department has sent out to its
agents throughout the South sugges-
tons for the proper handling Of
wheat and oats in this region
Where it is expected that the entire
crop is to be fed on the farm, and
especially in neighborhoods where
threshing machines are not readily
available, it is recommended that
both the wheat and oats should be
either cut for bay or else tied into
medium-sized bundles to be fed in
the straw.
If intended for hay, both wheat
and oats should De cut when the
grain varies from the smilk" to the
very soft d ,ugh stage. At this time
the stalks will be ravstly green or
just beginning to show signs Of ripen-
ing below. After cutting they should
be cured and handled exactly as any
Of the common grass hays. Tn Ter
favorable conditions the hay will then
have bright green col VI. If the
stting is delayed, however, until the
grain is in the full dough stage the
bay will he dry, hard, and bleached,
and the feeding value diminished.
If 1T is in.ended {, feed the grain
10 the straw, the cutting should be

put off until the grail has reached
the hard dough stage and most Of
the stalks have taken 90 a yellow
cnlor. Under favorable weather con-
i.ions the grain will cure sufficient
" for storage purposes in six or eight
days il put up in carefully made
round shocks OF nine bundles each,
including one cap bundle. Near the
coast, where frequent rams are TO be
expected at this seasor. grain should
be put in small shocks, containing
only SIX bundles, and lett uncapped
so that it will dry out quickly after a
rain. Ii is unnecessary to tear down
and spread these small shocks after
rains, as it sometimes is with larger
ones. The bundles, Of course, should
be shocked Immediately in order 10
avoid the possibility Of loss from bad
weather.
When the ,.rop is grown not for
feed but for sale or for seed the cut
ting should be postponed still further
until the grain has passed the hard
dough stage, II it is permitted to
become dead ripe, however, the quail
ity is not so good and the loss from
shatterine considerable. Where the
aelf-binder cannot be used the cut
ting may be done little earlier tran
otherwise. The grain, shocked in
t h manner already mentioned,
SHOULD be left in the i,ld un il it is
thoroughly cured ard then threshed
without delay II no threshing ma
chine i available at once, the grain
should be either stacked or stored in
a barn during the Interval.
On small farms where storage
space is mt abundant it will probably
pay the farmer to sell the grain as
soon as it is threshed. With the ex-
ercise of a little cooperation he may
arrange with the neighbors to make
up sufficient quantity to ship out as
a carload. If this is done the freight
car can be loaded direct from the
farmers wagons. 1t is important to
remember, however, that the car
should be loaded without delay in
order to avoid demurrage charges
Wheat and oats should not be load
ed in the same car unless it is abso-
lately necessary. Mixed shipments
Of this kind cannot be handled to
good advantage in the market.
In the case of rats it is also posi-
BILE to dispose advantageously Of the
crop by shipping it in bags to grain
brokers or feed dealers in nearby
towns. When this is done however,
it is Of great importance to have the
oats cleaned and of uniform quality.
One hundred-pound bags are proba-
bly, the most satisfactory. When
these are shipped into another State
the Federal law requires that the net
weight of grain in the bags be mark
ed upon them. Each nag should
contain the quantity indicated by the
marks On the outside; that Is, if the
bags are marked 400 pounds" they
should contain 100 pounds Of grain,
actual weight.
