their candidate is confined to the

Drying Wheat for Seed.

There is often an injury to winter
wheat seed from heating after the grain
Is gathered, which is always done in
hot weather. If the straw and grain
are slightly damp when put in the NOW
or stack, 1t will almost surely heat.
This heating may not be injurious In
itself, but 1t leaves the grain damper
than before. and it only dries out when
cold weather comes. So 1t often hap
pens that when winter wheat of the
present years crop Is used as seed, II
often Is sown when very nearly as
damp as it was when garnered Such
wheat terminates slowly. 1t is already
expanded with moisture, and so does
not swell In the soil as II should. For
this reason many old farmers who grow
winter wheat prefer wheat year old
for seed. Ii Is. however, no better
than IL as good as this years wheat,
which has been thoroughly dried and If
possible without any heating In its
moist state. Put the seed wheat in
bundle on scaffolds where 1t will dry
spreading so that 1t Will not heat. Then
thresh 1t out with the fail and put II
In a fruit eyaporator for twenty. four
hours. By that time the grain will
seem much less plump than new wheat
ought to be, but 1t is all the better seed
for that.

Lumber that Goes Into Ro,es

In discussion of the amount of lum-
Der consumed In the making OF boxes.
Barrel and Box, paper recently start
ed at Louisville, is authority for the
statement that the n. *. Fairbank
Company uses every year S1D5 900
worth of white pine soap boxes in Chi
cago, and $4,000 worth of cottonwood
boxes at st. Louis All are bought
from the trade. The total number of
boxes used by this company last year
was 1,541 $3.50. j. S. Kirk & Co. Chi
cago, use 100000 boxes every year
The firm operates It's own box factory
at Rhinelander, Wis.
There are fifty other soap manufac-
turers in this country, and Barrel and
Box estimates that all together 150, OOO,-
900 boxes are employed In packing
soap alone. This should certainly in
sure cleanliness of the community.
which, we are taught, is going a long
way toward its godliness.
We also see that there is a close CON
nection between soap and lumber. Two
of the large soap manufacturers expend
each year $400 900 for boxes. If 3, 900.
900 boxes cost 100000, 10000 900
boxes would involve the expenditure of
S2O,OO0,OO0 for soap packages alone.
Continuing the calculation through the
vast range of packing box demand.
which Involves almost every Industry
known to man we can imagine how
enormous is the expenditure in its
grand total and what an amount of
lumber is consumed In its manufacture.
1t Is evident that the making of boxes
furnishes the largest percentage of the
demand for the coarser and common
grades of lumber, and that, as the
years pass there will be a sure outlet
for low-grade white pine, cottonwood,
yellow pine and all other lumber that
can be worked into boxes.-Northwes
ern Lumberman.

Substitntes for Wheat.

Possibly one of the reasons for the
low prices of wheat the past few years
is that SO many substitutes have been
found for 1t as human food. We still
use a great deal of wheat, but In cities
especially wheaton bread Is less the
staff of life that 1t used to be. The use
of oat meal has increased, and 1t daily
forms part of the nutritiye ration. and
very good nutrition 1t Is. too. We use
far more fruit than formerly, and also
more potatoes. The latter are not so
good in nutrition as wheat, and for
this reason their increased nse is not
for our advantage in healthy and
strength. Like all other starcy foods.
potatoes are difficult to digest. aud
should only be eaten in moderation, ex-
cept by those whose digestion is strong.

BIGGEST WATCH IN THE woRLv.
Made in London for Baltimore Man
and Weighs Two Pounds.

The largest watch in the world was
made in London for William Wilkens
OF Baltimore. 1t is kept by his sons as
an heirloom. Mr.. Wilkens was an odd
man in many ways. One of his pecu-
liar desires was to possess things that
were entirely different from other
things in the world. The big watch
was n ma nifestation of this trait. 1t
cost him $500. He ordered It in 1866.
but ii was not finished until 1869. The
massive gold chain, to which 1t was
attached, weighs four pounds, and
cost $500. 1t was made in this coun-
try.
The watch-a repeater-weighs two
pounds lacking an ounce The hunting
case is of 18-carat gold and Is seven
eighths of an inch thick. The white
enamel of the dial is four inches in
diameter. The case Is deliberately en-
graved inside and outside, the design
on the front representing Mr. Wilkens'
Baltimore factory and residence. The
engraving on the back represents Mr..
Wilkens and his old white horse, for
which he had as much affection as 1t
is possible for one to have for a dumb
animal.
Mr.. Wilkens, who was very wealthy
when he died, began life in humble
way. He started business by wheeling
home in barrow the hair and bristles
which he gathered at the Baltimore
slaughter-houses, there sorting and pre-
pairing them for market The business
grew steadily and Mr.. Wilkens pur-
chased horse and wagon, abandoning
the wheelbarrow. The horse. however.
was never deserted. When 1t became
too old to work it was cared for ten
derby. and when 1t died It's owner pur-
chased plot of ground opposite his
residence and buried 1t there. When
his huge watch was made he gave this
faithful old horse equal prominence
with himself in the engraving on the
case. Mr.. Kilkens carried this big
watch to the day of his death. The
chain, which Is about four feet long.
was worn about his neck. He had an
extra large pocket made In each of
his vests to hold the watch. Some idea
of the immensely of the time piece may
be gained by knowing that the largest
watch now occasionally manufactured
Tor the trade has case two inches
wide and dial one and three-auarter
inches wide. The diameter of the
watch Is nearly four and quarter
inches.-New York World.

Why Horsea Slobber

A correspondent of the American Cul-
tiyator expresses the belief that the
reason why the second growth of clover
makes horses slobber is because of its
seeds. Clover seed at present and pros
pectiye prices Is altogether too dear
feed to be given horses, even the most
valuable. But, says the Cultivator. we
think our correspondent mistakes in
ascribing the SOLDERING to the clover
seed. Neither do we think 1t is the sec
ond growth of the clover itself. Many
years ago we made an Investigation
and found that the soldering only oc-
CURED where the lobelia plant, often
called Indian tobacco, was found mixed
with the clover This lobelia is, as
every farmer knows, a most powerful
emetic Even on land where II Ia album
dant, 1t does not get large enough to go
into the first crop Of hay. But after the
first aud heavy clover crop is removed
the lobelia makes very rapid growth.
and Its blue flowers are often very plen-
tiful where clover is grown on low.
moist ground.
