FACTS ABOUT SCOTCH FIFE WHEAT

The Northwestern Miller. which has been
making night tor Scotch fife witeat as being
the best i'll the world for making good flour,
says: Ill is we'll established fact that the
high reputation gained for Minnesota flour
In former years was attained by using hard
wheat exclusively in its production. This
gave 1T great st ength over all other brands
! IN The markets. When the mddlings puri-
tier first came into general use here. the
value OF Minnesota flour took long stride
ahead OF any other brands then produced.

was raising purely hard wheat 1.-THE cid

then was evidently the result of using this
hard wheat exclusively in its productions
Fife is the wheat which first gave Minneso-
I'd its reputation for large yields. 1t is the
hardest of all wheats, in respect TO injurinp
from excessive moisture. The Manitoba
authorities admit that Scotch Fife for seed
tell off daily, and the Canadian Pacific road
transports il for seed free OF charge, making
full rafes on sift wheat. There are a few |
sections in Minnesota where the farmers
have stuck to fife ever since it was intro
duced. and their crop this year was as large
and the quality as fine as the first season
that they raised fife. 1t is true that they
have not grown wheat on the same ground
every year. They have given the soil an
occasional rest sometimes for two or three
years, first by pasturlng it, and then by
planting something else, SO that it recovered
what it had lost.
The figures frem five counties taken from
group in Which Scotch Fife has been raised
almost exclusively, are given to show results

SgALDING POULTRY.

SNOW AS A PROTECTION

The numerous experiments which it was
necessary to make to obtain precise an
swer to this question were carried on last
winter in the Jarden des Plantes. The aim
OF these was to ascertain-tirst. to what ex-
tent the temperature OF the ground was in
fiuenced by the temperature of the air, both
under bare ground and in sodded soil. with
and without snow; also to ascertain what
depth the temperature of the air was able to
make its influence felt. In these comphca-
ted Investigations the electric thermometer
invented by Becquerel was employed. Sim
ultaneous observations were made of the
the temperature of the air at the height of
333 feet and 663 feet, and OF the soil at the
depths of two inches. four inches, eight
inches, y inches and "A inches. They were
made under sod and bare ground. On Nov
26 dry frost began which lasted without
interruption until December g. At this
date the air had a temperature of Z degrees
Fahrenheit, and heavy fall of snow began,
which covered the ground to the depth of
ten inches. From the 9th to the 10Th OF

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY OF HoUDAN

Hondan, the home of the Houdan breed
OF 1owis, is pretty little village OF some
2'ooo inhabitants, situated about forty miles
from Paris on the Granville branch et the
Western railway, France. The poultry in
dnstfy OF This thriving place and neiphhor-
hood is enormous, and large supplies are be-
ing shipped weekly to the markets OF Paris
and other large cities that average at least
s,500000 francs year.
lt may be interesting to the American
poultry breeder to know how the business
is managed there, and how the industry has
assumed such dimensions in place where
small farms of five, ten, fifteen and twenty
acres on an average prevail. Themaln point
aimed at by the poulterers of Houdan is to
keep only particular breed of fowls which
develop early, lay large eggs, and salabr
when three months old. Hatching and
rearing are carried on artifcally. aud con-
sequently the production goes on all the
year round without reference to weather or
seasons.
In the fall and winter the cuyoirs are in
full activity TO supply the local demand.
The broods are sold even before being
Matched, and at all ages, to the women of
the locality, who bring up the chickens by
means of caprons, turkeys and artificial
mothers. The women sell the poultry prop
eriy fattened at the time when it is dearest.
During the spring and summer months the
batchinS establishments work for another
class OF customers. Eggs, pure blooded

The figures cannot be equaled by any
similar group of the purely soft wheat coun-
ties, and even if they could, there would re-
main against soft wheat the all important
difference in price-l0 TO 20 cents per bushe

tain, and that is if the reputation OF the hard
wheat section and OF the Northwestern -four
is maintained, it can only be by the extern
sive use of Fite wheat for seed. All of the
softer sorts, for which larger yield is claimed.
must be discarded. Rotation of crops and
better modes of securing the grain when
ripe are necessary. The Northwestern
farmer must learn this lesson well, and if he
would avert all danger of smut, discard soft
wheat for seed and stick 10 Fife.
