BARREL OF APPLES
SENT MACHINE GUNNERS

Leo Sells, who conducts a shoe re-
pair shop at 621 Ninth street, today
demonstrated that he is not to be out
done by any OF the philanthropic
movements for raising tobacco, choco-
late, library, or any other fund for
soldiers.
He raised an apple fund for the SOL
diers at Camp Meade all by himself.
Sells was the only one that contribut-
ed to the fund; Sells made the pur.
chase of the very finest barrel of
large sweet apples in town, and the
same man shipped the gift to the
S12th District of Columbia machine
gun battalion. He likes to do things
himself, so he'll be "sure they are
done right"
"I went to the camp Sunday and
took O few apples with me-" said
Sells. THE men liked them so that !
decided to send them q barrel.
CANT let these other funds get ahead

THE RIGHT WAY TO SHOCK GRAIN

It is very unwise to grow a good
crop of grain, cut it with a self-binder
and then put it up in shocks that per-
nit it to spoil. It is not uncommon,
however, to find field after field Of
grain of good quality that has been
put up in poorly made shocks. Tn many
instances the shocks are too small to
stand up well. In others, the bundles
have been careless1y thrown together
and the shock in settling has drawn
out Of shape and gone down with the
heads Of the bundles resting on the
ground. In great many cases the
shocks are left uncapped. Under any
Of these circumstances the grain can
not help deteriorating in quality, if
allowed to stand in the shock for any
length Of time.
In order to save grain good system
of shocking should be learned and then
conscientiously followed.
One Of the most satisfactory shocks
to build is what is known as the twelve
bundle, round shock It will answer
for any kind Of grain. It is built by
setting up three pairs Of bundles in q
row, preferably starting with the cen
ter pair and placing another pair on
each end. Two bundles on each side
completes tho foundation for the
shock. All of these bundles
should lean slightly toward a
common center. The outer two bun
dies should be used for caps, breaking
them down well. at the band and plac-
ing them over the ridge Of the shock
which will run in the direction of the
three center pairs Of bundles. The
heads Of the first cap bundle should be
covered by the second cap bundle. In
this way only one bundle Of heads out
Of the twelve is exposed to the wealth
er. Such a shock when we'll built will
preserve grain almost as well as
though it were stacked.-Andrew Boss,
University Farm, st. Paul.
