A. stationer of 'Brighton, England,
took a fancy for ,dressing hie show -
Window with' piles of writing -paper,
rising gradually from the largest to

bus pyramids, off nicely, he cut 'cards

lady customers were continually want-
ing some of "that lovely little paper,'
and the stationer found it advantage'
sus to cut paper tq the desired pattern.
As there was no apace for address -

Methods.
This year's experience, following
that of 1925, when weather was ex-
ceptionally nnfavereble for threshing,
may. mark the beginning of a revtgu-
tiee ie. .Western farm methods: A
. ,change has already begun, in Southern
- Alberta at least,' , in; regard t3' fall
wheat. This grain has yielded well,
and. with threshjng of the same be -
gluing the first week in ititgust, it
was well saved, and much of it has
been sown for next year's. Drop: -There
will be a big increase 1n the arceage
of fall wheat for next year's -harvest.
'Another change is likely to take place.
The general practice in the:West.bas
been to.thresh in the field and direct
from the stook. M. L. Freng, local re-
presentative of the Provincial Depart-
ment of Agriculture in Lethbridge dis-
trict, repently advised farmers !n ir-
rigated territory to stack their grain.
Those who followed that advice have
probably gained a point in grade. Af-I
ter. two years' experience of damage'
to etooked grain by rain and snow, it
will be surprising if -this practice does
not become fairly general in future.
Tile experience of this season will also
give a marked impetus to the use of
eouhlne<1 harvesters- and threshers.
A considerable nuntbar of these have',
beenimed in the.presen :season,endl
all reports on their operations' have
been favorable, some operators plac- 1 •
ing the saving by the use of these ma•"
chines at twelve to fifteen cents per
bushel. There was a further' and very
material saving by -getting the thresh.'
ed grain in elevators before rains
came to lowffe�r grades.
xperiende of the recent past will
also fn all probability result in a ma-
terial expansion in hog production. At
the present prices of hogs low-grade
