Farmers show great differences in
handling of the crop. Some stack
wheat, allowing it to thoroughly sw

others, equally well informed, all

perfectly dry, and then thresh from
shock. Still others thresh from

wheat has got to go through this p
cess either In the straw, in the bin
in the flour; and they prefer to hi
it sweat before they grind it. '1
word 'sweat' is used to denote a pee
lar pr:cess.- The straw on the stu
becomes dami., and the wheat that v
"off color?' or bleauhed before stat
ing, has its color restored. Shrive
wheat becomes plumper. In abt
four weeks after stacking, the wheat

grain feels damp, and in unfavoral
weather heats. A job of threshing

the work has to be done. The eher

drivpin by ton or twelve horses. ThI
machines will thres and clean from I

freely with lemon jtuice; spread tis or
both sl.'es of the spots and lay in th

operation, and continue till the spot
disappear. If newly spotted. one wet
ting will be sufficient. Or wet til
spots with chloride of lime dissolved 1i
water, spread in the sun a few tminute
and then rinse. Repeat in case the mil
dew is not all removed, but do not let
ti preparation rein tiiare than t
few Mnittes at a time before rinsing
even if the process has to be repeatea
several times, as the chloride of liml
will injure the cloth if allowed to re

chloride of lime is the only thing .

that ugly and tenacious stain. A tea
spoonful of dry chloride to a quart o
soft water will give about the necessary
strength. Soak the article in the solu,
tion from ten to twenty minutes, then
dry in the sun. Repeat the process til
the stain disappears. The time reqired
will of course depend on the intensita
of the stain. If very deep and of lonN
standing, a little stronger solution may
be required. (3). Got the dryost chlo

thl solution of litme should be muel

Let the article lie in it only five mint
utes, and then put it Into the imuriati
acid. Instantly wvash thoro..ltly i1
cold water. (4). Take five cents' wortl
of lime, dissolve it In a pail of water
and put in the cloths; let them renail
three or four hours, then wash, and th(
mildew will all disappear. (5). Rut
