TO ACQUIRE KNACK
OF STACKING GRAIN
Butts of Bundles Should Be
Jammed Down SoIidIy Against
Ground for Foundation.

Practice is necessary to acquire the
knack Of stacking bundles. About 10
feet is the ideal diameter for grain
stacks. In a larger stack the sweat
Ing process is delayed, the stack runs
up too high and a poor topping out
may result.
To build q round grainstack start
just as you would large shock of
grain in the field. Jam the butts of
the bundles down solldly against the
ground. This gives firm foundation
and protects the grain from the damp
earth. II the stack is built on slop-
ing ground, the lower side should be
built up even with the other at once.
The stack must go up evenly or the
bundles will slip.
After laying the foundation and see
ing that it is level, raise the center
slightly higher than the outer edges.
Beginning at the outer edge, lay a
circle of bundles, heads toward the
center, the shorter straws Of the bun
dies up, to shed water.
The second circle Of bundles should
be laid SO the butts will reach about
to the point where the first bundles
are bound. The third circle should
lap over to the same point on the sec
oud row, and SO on, toward the center

MODERN EQUIPMENT
REQUIRED FOR BEES
Old Box Hive Is Too InConvenient
-Beekeeper Unable to Ex-
anime His Colonies.

. "Get modern equipment for bee
keeping" advises DIR. j. II. Merrill,
assistant professor of entomology In
the Kansas State Agricultural oOl-
lege.
The old box hive Is too incon-
venient and does not afford any means
for the beekeeper to examine his col
onies and know what they are doing.
On the other hand, with modern equip
ment the average farmer can control
swarming, take out the honey at any
time without seriously disturbing the
bees, readily examine theP when
ever he chooses. Moreover, when net
profits are taken. into consideration
modern equipment costs less than the
old box hive.
"The beekeeper does not want the
bees to swarm" says Doctor Merrill,
'"because "a good strong, colony In one
hive. will. make more honey than the
satnesi colony divided between. tive
hives. The average, man, however, can
not destroy the queen cells which fur
nish the cause Of the swarming.
'In the modern hive inexpensive
wax foundations of the desired size
may be purchased and the bees will
build cells Of the same size as the
foundations. There are three kinds of
cells, the largest being the queen cell,
the smallest the worker cell, and the
middle the drone cell. BY providing
the small foundations for worker cells,
only worker cells will be built and only
workers will be hatched."

YESI LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAINI
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so It llfts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens SO 1t can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take Off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as IL
Is inexpensive and Is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

HAD A CAPITAL OF s480
IN Six Years He Was Well off

An Alberta farmer, who had bor-
rowed from q loan company, in re-
mitting to them the last payment on
his mortgage, decided to give them the
history of his experience, on a Mani
toba farm. 1t was that of many anoth-
er farmer, and for the benefit of those
who contemplate change the liberty
is taken Of reproducing it.
II will give you here q brief sum-
mary Of my experience since coming
here six years ago. I was new nahu
at farming, my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butcherlng. My capital was
S400, which was first payment on
my quarter section (160 acres). Most
of nv stock, harness, implements, etc.,
were bought at sales, oil "on time"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 26 acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning a
number of mischances, he says: I'm
spite of all these drawbacks, have
done well. I consider my farm worth
$500 to $4,000. 1 have four head OF
horses, IL of cattle, over 400 purebred
Buff Orpington chickens and 125 tur-
keys, besides implements, harness, etc.,
to run my place. have well ITO
feet deep with an inexhaustlble supply
Of water. The we'll with pump cost
me $4OO. have built a S125 chicken
house and put up nearly $50 worth Of
poultry fencing; have built root cellars
to hold over 5000 bushels of potatoes
and other vegetables. AS to income,
raise about ten acres Of garden and
roots annually which net from 5000 to
$1,000 total. 1 generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings
from Sc to $14 per ton. My grain is
most all used on the farm except a
few hundred bushels sold to the neigh
bors for seed. My four milk cows bring
in from $50 to $50 each Counting calf.
Last year so hens laid 600 dozen eggs
which averaged more than 20 cents a
dozen II always work for winter egg
production). The surplus hens were
sold in spring, dressed at 81 each. My
turkeys average $3.50 each in fall. By
having vegetables to feed my young
cattle, the two-year-old steers bring
S75 each In spring. g."-Advertisement

stack is reached, return to the edge
and proceed as before.
Each bundle should be placed firm
ly in place as it is laid, and that part
above the band may be tramped, but
never step on the butts. Bulge the
stack merely by extending the butts
very slightly and gradually. Keep the
center little full and top out as in
any other stack, spreading long
sheaves over the top to form a cap.

WILL CURB ROAD BOOSTERS
State Highway Commission May Find
1t Necessary to Apply the Brakes
Planning Work.

Kansas is planning an extensive
road construction campaign this sea-
son. The enthusiasm just now for
hard surfaced roads is so great that
there is danger of OVERRIDING things.
Already murmurs are heard that Kan
sas is going "crazy" over road work.
Members of the commission realize
that a new law can be overworked
as well as underworked. In other
words, if too much work is mapped
out for the first year and taxes are
materially incYeased the farmers, in
their fury, may swoop down in the
next legislature and repeal the law.
So the commission will apply the
brakes to the over-enthusiastic road
boosters.
There will be available on July 1
about; $43O, 900 of federal funds for
road work in Kansas. The various
counties. must match. this amount, at
least. The money can only be spent
on permanent roads and the commits
sion must first map out five-year
program O road. work and have it ap-
proved by the federal commission be-

form. In the program it will aim to
cover roads. from. one county seat to
another and between all important

the government offers to pay so per
cent of the cost of road it is planned
to spread federal money out thinner
than that. So u
