Threshmen and Farmers
Must Cooperate.


Cooperation between farmer and
threshman nov and within the next
few weeks means several Thousand |
bushels Of wheat saved in Maryland. |
How to work together rs already re-
ceiving the attention of threshmen
and of farmers clubs throughout
State.
Under no circumstances should
bundles be put in the barn or other
shelter when the straw is either
damp or wet, for that means mold
ing and a certain loss in threshing.
A few settings as possible Of
threshing machines saves both labor
and wheat. the scarcity of which
no one denies. Many threshmen
have already planned their routes so
doubling back viii be unnecessary
and the threshing viii be completed
at each in one setting, two under
some conditions. This plan pre-
vents large crews of men being idle
waiting for the machine TO start.
Coal is saved because every time q
threshman leaves the farm he fills
the engines bunkers.
Good fuel means plenty Of power
for difficult threshing and indirectly
saves many busbel Of wheat. The
most competent operator has seri-
GUS difficulties 70 contend with in
maintaining steam with almost all
Of the so-caIled thresher's coal. On
numerous occasions last year thresh-
ing had to stop while the engine
operator got up more steam. OF
course, the crew vas Idle during
this time. This wasted tiIae is bad
enough, but 70 make matters worse,
the farmer ~ called upon TO furnish
about twice as much coal, conse-
quently il will pay every farmer
who buys coal for threshing TO
search until n good quality is obtain
ed. This problem can best be solv-
ed by co-operation between farmer
and threshmen.
Preparedness in threshinR mean
no cause for delay after the thresh-
ing outfit is in position. Water
and kindling for the engine must b0
available. Pitohforks and sacks, in
fact, everything necessary should
be on hand. Laborers must be
ready TO work. Having everything
ready in advance will save much
time and wheat.
Correct feeding is OF the utmost
importance and is frequently over
looked. II means regular feeding
heads first Of bundles which are
evenly distributed on the carrier.
Always heads first. never crosswise
nor butts first. ThresbinR machines
are built TO handle grain only in
lthis way. Any other method means

EDITORIAL OPINION
A NEW ENTERPRISE IN
BEHALF OF FELO

NEW ENTERPRISE IN
BEHALF OF FELONs
From the New York sun.
We are besought by a number OF
amiable persons to aid them In an at
tempt to empty the prisons and trans
fer their inmates TO the army.
We decline to join In this enterprise.
We have profound respect for the
army as an institution and for soldiers
as individuals; and our respect extends
to those individuals who, having gone
wrong al some time IN their lives. have
sought and found in the army a means
Of rehabilitation. These we forgive for
the reprehensible but thoroughly un-
derstandable deceits they practlced TO
obtain readmission TO the ranks Of hon
Orable men,
But the mere suggestion made by our /
phllanthropic friends concerning the /
conversion Of convicts into soldiers has /
a peculiar interest for MS. This springs /
from the fact that IN the long period |
during which we have lent a sympa-
thetlc ear to every plan brought for
ward for the improvement Of our fell
low men, including those behind prison /
bars, we have been informed, sometimes 1
tearfully, sometimes vehemenily, al I
ways we are sure. sincerely that the /
brethren under the wardens' care were
hopelessly afflicted In mind or in body; /
