Barristers and Solicitors.

The English keep up most of the old
distinction between physicians and
surgeons, barristers and solicitors. A
oarrister alone can address the higher
courts and the parliamentary commit
tees; solicitor must keep to Office
work and courts of first instance. A
man with a grievance goes first to his
solicitor, who then instructs or briefs
barrister for him. If that barrister
n the course of the trial wants a GER
ain evidence removed from the record
ne moves that it be struck out and not
stricken out, as an American lawyer
would say.
Only barristers may become judges.
An English barrister, just like his
American brother, takes a retainer,
when he is engaged. But the rest of
his fee does not wait upon the term
nation of his case. He expects to re-
eeive a "refresher" from time to time.

Burglars Dread a Noise.


''Noise is the greatest enemy of the
burglar and is what he most fears.
Bear that in mind If you believe a
thief has entered your home"
So says Frank McCarrick, Iieuten-
ant in Manhattan's downtown detee-
tive headquarters, whose long years
in the police department give weight
to his statements.
"The best of alarms in household"
he continued, sis q glass or chinaware
pitcher or similar vessel. Slam it
through the window and it's crash
above will be followed by another as
the missile falls to the street or the
areaway below.
"Never grapple with a midnight
prowler, for he is prepared for such
eventualities and has it on you. Cen
orally no qualm of conscience would
come between him and murder If there
was danger of his being caught"

for this year will include the raking
of grain fields and the careful stack
ing of gleanings in order to save all
possible grain that may be grown. In
connection with this comes the careful
shocking and stacking of the grain.
Many farmer has raised good crop
of choice wheat or oats only to have
a crop of inferior grain to market be-
cause of poor shocking or poor stack
ing and subsequent loss by protracted
rainfall. Everybody needs to be on
the lookout this year In order to pre-
vent any of the wastes or losses that
usually occur after the grain has ac-
tnally been grown and harvested. Gov
cred storage is especially important in
all humid areas. Thrashermen should
see that their machines are In order
for prompt and clean threshing and
that the cleaning up after the thresh.
ing is complete.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The acreage covered per day by q
given crew in stacking wheat depends
upon the yield, distance hauled, size
of loads and methods used.
For example, two men and four
horses with either one or two of the
bundle wagons which are commonly
found in the wheat-growing sections Of
the Northwest, where both men pitch
and no one is required on the load,
will be able to stack more wheat, other
things being equal, than will two men
following the usual practice in the
East of one pitching while the other
man loads. The wagons used in the
two cases are usually very different,
the Western bundle wagon" being es-
above mentioned, whereas with the
type of wagon usually found in the
East it would be impossible to haul
very large load in this way, because
of the difficulty of putting many bum
dies on such wagon In such way
lllul lliCY hOuiN well. AlLllOuSA
the loads hauled on the Western bum
die wagons do not contain quite so
many bundles as do those In the East
when loaded by hand, they are put on
in less time and with one-half the man
labor, which more than offsets this OBJ
lection.
Most Efficient Crew.
This combination is probably the
most efficient crew which can be used
in stacking wheat, provided the haul is
not too long. 1t is especially recon-
mended for consideration by Eastern
wheat growers, as in many cases 1t
would be an easy matter to place a
temporary rack on other wagons, thus
making them well suited for use in the
manner described. The adoption Of
this method would materially reduce
T, the cost Of stacking.
Stacking Improves Quality Of Wheat,
Where stacking is properly done the
grain is better protected in stacks
than in shocks. In wet seasons or when
thrashing cannot be done soon after
cutting, the Importance of this protec-
ton is increased. A sweating process
also takes place in the stack, which
improves to some extent the color, con-
diticn and test weight Of the grain and
its milling and baking qualities. The
Improvement may be sufficient to OBJ
tain better market grade, with result
ing higher price when sold. A similar
sweating process apparently may take
place in shock-thrashed wheat after
being placed in the bin, but to take adj
vantage of this the farmer must have
storage room for his thrashed grain
and must also get it thrashed from the
shock while it is in as good condition
as when placed in the stack.
