Suddenly the two men were rolling
Dver and over in the underbrush. The
half breed had thrown himself upon the
major, bearing him down to the ground.
The haversack strap for all instant
whirled like the loop of lasso in the
air and descended over the majors

Wheat Feeding Stated in u Nutshell.


T.. ID. Coburr, secretary of the Kansas
state board of agriculture, summarized
IL great mass of experience on this sub
jcct as follows:
In Kansas, under the conditions as to
product and prices of wheat and corn ex-
listing III the years 1885,. wheat has
become Il very unsual and very important
factor in the grain feeding of all classes
of farm stock. 1t is superior to corn,
pound for pound, as Il grain to produce
heulthful, well-balanced growth in young
it is much superior to either alone for
work horses. Fed to cows. it is an exccp.
tional milk producer. and for that purpose
corn is scarcely to be compared with it.
1t is Il superior food for all fowls. and
as Il promoter of the maximum egg pro-
duction is unsurpassed by any other grain.
For swine of all ages it is II healtlf,tl
and agreeable food, giving generous re
turnss'in botl, framework and flesh, but
used at Il disadvantages. Ground and
made into slOps it is Invaluable for suck
ling sOws and for pigs both before and
after wearing.
For cattle it has, at least as Il part of
their grain ration. a very high value,
which is much enhanced in the line Of

in still greater degree by mixing judi.

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical

Pla litilig POTATOES III the Fall.

Fall planting of potatoes is certainly
worthy Of careful experiment, for the re-
suits so far i'll isolated cases seems to war
rant one in believing that it is an improve
ment over the old method. The earlier
that we can get the early crop of potatoes
into market the more VIC are sure to real
ize from them. BY planting the seed in Oc-
t0her we get the potatoes into market ly
the second week in July, and in good con
'iti0n. too. not half-grOwn and green. Ger
tainly there is some risk to run unless the
soil is very well drained: The chief dam
ger comes not from the freeziiig weather of
winter, but from the wet. thawilig days
of very early spring The excessive
amount of water in the soil then will rot
the potatoes unless the land is perfectly
drained so that most of the water will be
carried away.
There is another question that demands
more experiment with before the operation
ly. In the few experiments that l have
seen winter mulch of straw some six
inches in depth was placed over the ground
late in the fall. and left there Until spr'tig.
On extensive potato fields this wottld he
quite Il serious drawback: The question is
whether this mulch is really necessary.
So far l know of no one who has tried
October planting without using the mulch.
On the other hand, however, nearly every
farmer has found stray potato vines COM
ing up on all sides in the spring of the year.
These potato sets have remained in the
ground all winter without any mulch. and
they have proved just as hardy as if pro-
tectcd. More light on this subject is need
cd
The methods Of planting fall potatoes are
very simple. The land is plowcd and pro-
pared early in October after most of the
harvesting is finished, and the seed is
planted the same as in the spring. Then
the ground is covered with IL thick mulch,
and held i'll position so that the wind can.
not blow it away. Nothing more is re,
quired Of the crop until early spring. The
mulch is then removed. and as the potatoes
come up they are cultivated and treated the
same as spring planted tubers. BY this
method we get the potatoes earlier: they
reach maturity before the early summer
,lrouth: and they are planted ut season,
when there is much less farm work to
do than in the spring. Two things alp
parently are essential. One is land tina,
is perfectly drained. I doubt if good
crop would be raised in this way ON thick
heavy soil that had not been drained. The
other thing necessary is winter mulch
If the latter can be dispensed with the
method will prove far more profitable tt
| large growers than it will at present-W
