{ A gentleman who had noticed the modes
Of agriculture on the banks of the Rhine, in
Flanders, has remarked, that the people of
those countries, commonly stack their wheat,
and leave it in the field. Their manner of
stacking it as follows they set one sheaf up
right, with the ears uppermost, and around
that place a circle Of many other shcaves
with the ears uppermostinclining on the right
shcaf; and when so placed, they look like
the figure Of an Xtinguisher-then they lay
horizontal circle of sheaves, with all the
ears in the centre, and cover those ears i'll the
middle with loose sheaf or two. Thus
placed, they are protected from all wet, and
may remain six weeks orr two months, as safe
as in barn. BY reason of their exposure to
the air for several weeks, they thresh much
easier than sheaves which, Immediately af-
ter binding, are housed in tight barn. The
above method of stacking has been adopted
in some of the southern countries Of England,
to very great advantage.
