following manner, and found that it an

sweet lie says : " When the stack, which
is commenced in tbe usual way, ia raised
to about one-half iu destined height, the
ends of long wheat or rye straw are placed
just on tbe edge of tbe stack to that wbea
the next layer of bay is placed npoa it, the
principal length of the straw will droop
over tbe sides of tbe stack. Following
this plan until the stack is finished, aeOaW
plete and impervious covering U furnished
to the hay that will keep it nearly as well
as in the best barn. I think that the long
cace grass that grows in the sloughs of
this country will answer a much better
