very large more than two caps may be

Stacking.
Whether oats. should be stacked or
allowed to remain In the shock until
they are thrashed depends very largely
on local conditions. If they can be
thrashed from the shock after they are
cured but before they are injured by
weather, the best course to pursue de-
pends on the relative cost Of shock and
stack thrashing. Investigations show
that stacking adds about one to one
and one-half cents bushel to the cost
of producing oats. AS thrashing outfits
are often not available when they are
wanted and as consequently the grain
is likely to be injured by weathering,
stacking is generally advisable, partic-
ularly in the humid section.
When grain is stacked, 1t is impor-
tant that the stacks be well built. If
the stacks are put up so carelessly that
they will not shed water, the grain
might better be allowed to stand In the
shocks. The bottoms Of the stacks
should be raised from the ground slight
ly by laying down old rails or other ma
terial to keep the straw from coming
in contact with the earth, thus prevent
ing the absorption of moisture from be-
low. The shape of the stack Is less i'm
portant than the manner in which the
bundles are laid, though round stacks
probably shed water better than the
long ricks sometimes built.
Thrashine.
AS previously stated, 1t Is cheaper to
thresh directly from the shock If the
work can be done while the grain Is
still in good condition. Thrashing from
the shock Is often subject to delay
from rains, however, as the work must
wait until the bundles are dry. This
may mean the loss of one or even two
or three days after heavy rains. On
the other hand, If the grain is stacked,
thrashlng may be resumed almost as
soon as the rain stops. Grain may be
thrashed from the shock either before
or after it has gone through the sweat.
If 1t Is thrashed before 1t goes through
the sweat, 1t will sweat in the bin,
but If it is dry-thrashed 1t will not be
injured. If the grain Is damp when
thrashed, 1t sweats too much and Is
likely to become hot and be damaged
by bin burning. Stacked grain should
be allowed to go through the sweat be-
fore 1t Is thrashed.
The separator should be well cleaned
before thrashlng is begun, particularly
If 1t has come from neighbor's farm
where different variety of oats is
grown or IL some other grain has just
been thrashed. Cleaning the separator
also prevents the bringing of weed
seeds from other farms. The operation
of the machine should be watched
carefully to see that all the grain Is
removed from the straw. 1t Is much
easier to do a clean job Of thrashing
when the grain Is dry than when 1t Is
moist.
The straw should be run into the
NOW, where is can be kept under
cover or. If 1t must be stacked outside,
the stack should be built carefully so
that 1t will shed water.

require 1t; but do we need to spend
as nation $3.50, 100000 a year for the

Let us go to fewer moving picture
shows and buy Thrift Stamps instead.
Do we need, as an American nation, to
spend S5O,000,000 yearly for gum, and
S200,000,000 for candy, $500, ,000, 900 for
tobacco, and $200O,00O,000 for liquor?
Think of spending 80 cents per cap
lta for liquor and only six cents for
milk, the food that will keep our ba-
bies alive, who are dying by the thou
sands each year from lack Of proper
care.
1t Is only by each person sharing the
burden and saving his share that our
government will be able to provide for
the expense Of this war. We are re-
quired to go without certain foodstuffs
to save wheat, meat, fat and sugar,
but how many Americans are really
going without until 1t hurts?
We must scrape the cake and bread
bowl, save by pairing very thinly the
vegetables and fruits we use, scrape
out each eggshell with teaspoon as
II is broken.
The outer leaves of lettuce, either
the head or remainder, may be rolled
and shredded with a sharp knife, and
may be used as garnish for salads or
in salads. When you can save cent
on a five or ten-cent purchase 1t Is a
saving of 20 or 10 per cent, which we
consider q large rate of interest. When
eggs reach the lowest price Is the time
to put them down for winter. Use a
pint Of water glass to every ten quarts
of boiled cooled water. Use stone
receptacle and pack them carefully, not
to crack one egg. Cover the jar and
keep in cool place. Eggs thus packed
will keep year perfectly.
Eggs are not likely to be as cheap
as usual this year, as food Is so high.
Even at 35 cents a dozen 1t will be
profitable to pack them.

Oats usually are cut with q grain
oinder, though In the drler sections the
header or the combined harvester and
thrasher is used occasionally. When
the straw is very short, due to drought,
or when the crop Is badly lodged, cut
ting with mower may be necessary.
The grain may then be raked and put
into cocks, which should be built so as
to shed rain. The proper time to cut
oats Is when they are in the hard
dough stage. Cut before this time the
grain Is not well 1lled, 1t shrivels In
curing, and is light in weight. If al
lowed to become fully ripe before cut
ting, considerable part of the crop
skaters out and Is lost in harvesting.
also is increased. When large acre
age Is to be harvested it is advisable
to begin cutting soon after the grain
passes out of the milk stage, as other
wise considerable part of the crop Is
likely to become too ripe before 1t can
be cut.
Shockinh.
If the grain Is ripe or in the hard
dough stage when cut, 1t may be placed
at once in round shocks, which should
be capped to prevent damage from rain
and dew. The best quality of grain
can be obtained under these conditions.
If the grain Is green or II the bundles
contain many weeds, they should be al
lowed to cure for few hours before
shocking, and then should be placed In
long shocks, which may or may not be
capped. Long shocks allow the sun
and air to penetrate much more readily
than round ones and are to be prefer
red when the grain Is cut green or
when conditions for curing are not
favorable. If long shocks are capped
properly, they protect the grain from
weatherlng quite as well as round
shocks. Grain that Is wet from dew or
rain should be allowed to dry before
1t Is shocked. In sections where strong
winds prevail during the harvest seas
on Gaping is not advisable, as the
caps blow off and the cap sheaves
may be injured by contact with the
ground
Long shocks may be built by setting
up two bundles with the fiat sides fac
ing, the tops together, and the butts
several inches apart to allow clrcula-
ton Of air between them. The next
pair of bundles should be set up along
side the first In the same way, with the
tops leaning slightly toward the first
pair. The shock Is completed by set
ting another pair at each end and then
placing single bundles with the fiat
sides in the opening between each end
pair. If desired more than ten bun
dies may be placed in long shocks. In
Gaping long shocks the first bundle
should be put on with the butts point
ing in the direction from which the
prevailing winds come and covering
the heads of the bundles in that end
of the shock as completely as possible.
The second cap should then be laid on
the other end of the shock in the same
manner, with the heads overlapping
those of the first. Two bundles will
cover an ordinary long shock with con-
siderable overlap, but If the shock Is
