THRESHING LOSS TO
FARMERS IS ENORMOUS
Shock Threshing Permits Early
Flowing but Expensive in Amount
of Grain Carried Over

When to thresh, whether in the
field from the shock or later from the
stack. is an important question, the
decision of which often costs the
farmer hundreds of dollars.
There can be no hard and last
rule. In some seasons stack thresh-
inc proves best, and in others early
fall shock threshing gives the larger
returns.
loss FROM FIELD THRESHING
The loss by throwing grain into
the straw pile in threshing ranges
from one half of 1 per cent to 10
ner cent, or even more, with an aver
age of perhaps 2 per cent. This
means a loss of 100000 bushels OF
wheat to the farmers of Minnesota
YEARLY. worth at the present prices
about $1,25O,00O.
The loss is nearly always greater
in shock threshing than Elm stack
threshing, because the grain is un-
evenly cured; threshing often be-
Gins early in the morning and con-
tinues until late in the evening
when heavy deWs prevent clean
threshing; the machine is fed more
or less unevenIy because of the con-
slant changing Of teams at the feed
er; between loads the machine runs
partly empty and the motion OF the
machine is more or less unsteady;
great pressure is eXerted to finish
one Job and move to the next while
the weather is good; help is also
hard to get, and the farmer has little
time to watch the work of the mach
inc as closely as he might.
Early thre8hed grain heats in the
bin, especially if threshed when it
is little damp and the weather con-
tinues rainy after threshing. 1t
should be stored in small bins, and
stirred frequently if signs Of heating
develop.
The percentage Of termination of
grain threshed early from the shock
and stored is very likely to be less
than of grain that has come through
later in the fall. Then, too, the
straw from early threshed grain is
usually not so good, as if stacked and
threshed later.
ADVANTAGES OF SHOCK THRESH-
ING
Some of the advantages of shock
threshing are that it saves the work
of stacking, and if person happens
to be among the first farmers to
thresh it gives an opportunity to
start the pillow earlier in the fall. If
the grain is to be sold, it often hap
pens that the price is better early in
the fall than later.
1t is suggested that whenever
grain is ready to stack, if the thresh-
er is not ready to pull into the field,
the farmer does not wait for the
thresher, but put his teams and men
Immediately to stacking. Then, if
bad weather comes on the grain that
is in the stack, if properly stacked
will be safe and the teams can start
at the pIowing.-L. B. Bassett, Min
nesOta Experiment Station.

is a rumor to the effect that the
company is planning to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity afforded
by the government to reduce the
number of passenger trains, as war
measure, and take off the passenger
train on this branch and run only
a mixed daily train service, but thus
far it is only rumor put in circula-
ton by some of the railroad en-
ployes who for personal reasons are
opposed to the present service.

Wasted Power.

Professor Charles Baskerville, head
Of the department Of chemistry in the
College of the City Of New York, stated
in a recent interview regarding the
work Of modern chemists:
I'm any chemical problem there is
no telling where the chemist will stop.
Just now there are many chemists
working on the problem of free gas.
An unreasonable lot Of power is vast
ed in the dumps Of our coal mines. II
this waste were reduced to gas by the
retort process enough ammonia might
be produced as a byprOduct to pay for
the whole cost Of the operation, making
the gas free. The gas could then be used
to generate electric power. Really, one
big railroad ought to be running on
the power it is now throwing away III
these supposedly worthless dumps"
