Rad Story Telling.

If Oscar Wilde's assumption were to
be taken seriously, that all fiction is ly-
ing, it might account for much that
afflicts readers, since the lack of morale
affects the intellect, and what is done
without conscience is apt to be done
badly Of course all fiction is not lying,
as all killing is not murder. but it is a
sad fact that many writers Of novels
and short stories seem to have left their
consciences and much Of their brains
behind when they go forth to work-as
if these belongings might safely remain
in seclusion, with the dress coat and
the white tie, to be brought out only
for especial occasions. Artemus Ward
once remarked that he had giant mind,
but did not have it with him, and that

Stats is just inches. A by is spiked
on top Of the posts and another is placed
through the center at the bottom. To
these the Stats are nailed. The bottom
is made Of fencing and inch board
is put around outside to hold ensilage,
grain, etc. The rack is not expensive to
build and is strong and durable. It can
be used in sheds or half of the rack may
be placed around the outside of stable.
/ use these racks in yard, and around
the outside use half, allowing tight
board fence to form the back Of the rack
It is the best rack for feeding whole
corn fodder l ever saw. I throw in bun
dies of fodder, reach through between
the Stats with a jackknife and cut the
strings The stock cannot pull the stalks
out and scatter them about the yard, as
is the case with low down, open racks.
Every bit Of foliage will be pulled off,
not particle Of waste beyond the bare
stalks. Whenever necessary, clean out
the stalks, place them in pile some
where mixing manure with them-to
rot.
We are about to make a rack similar
to this for sheep. It will be lower, of
course, and not so wide, and the Stats
will be placed straight up and down to
avoid any litter falling into the wool
A by 4 board, or fence board, will be
nailed on to keep the sheep from getting
into the rack with the fore feet.

AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD.
Purchasers Found For Them Nowadays
Throughout the World.


American tools are sold all over the
world. The New York representative of
an American tool manufacturing estab-
lishment when asked where American
tools were sent ran over the export Or
ders received that day. They included
orders from Hungary, Austria, Ger
many, France, England, South Africa
and South America. There were alto
gether about 20 orders, and from some
Of the countries named there were two
or three orders. The export orders Of
the previous day included orders from
Russia, Australia and New Zealand,
and these were not unusual orders, but
such as are constantly received. In the
shipping room at that moment stood
cases marked for Java, for Ecuador and
for Australia.
Many Of these orders ere small. In
some cases there We're orders for single
tool, Or for two Or three; for some orders
of half dozen Or two or three dozen to
supply orders Or to keep lines filed
These small orders are mostly from Eu-
ropean countries, with which commu-
nication is nowadays quick and conven-
lent. European merchants order these
things just about as merchants in other
cities in this country would. It costs no
more to send to London than it does to
Chicago, and it is as easy to send to
Berlin as it is to Paterson.
The characteristics that commend
these American tools to their foreign
purchasers are the same that mark
American machines and implements
generally - lightness, fine finish and
perfect adaptability to their several
uses. The exports Of American tools to
all parts Of the world are steadily in
creasing.-New York Sun.

Storing BeetS In Pits.

Waldo F. Brown, one of Ohio's pro.
gressive farmers, writing to The Ma.
tional Stockman and Farmer says:
In pitting beets prefer to cover them
with earth without any straw over
them and then keep the frost out by a
covering of horse manure on the outside
TO the pit when the ground freezes.
When the earth is put on the beets, it
is wise to have ventilators in the top,
which can be made by mailing four
pieces Of board together so as to make
chimneys six or eight inches square,
and letting them extend down foot or
more into the beet pile. To prevent the
rain from getting in through the ven
tilators let the boards on two sides be
six inches shorter than the others and
saw the top sloping and nail a roof
board over it.

The Irrigation Congress-.

Thirteen states were represented at
the sixth national irrigation congress-,
held at Lincoln, Neb. Ex-senator Cary
Of Wyoming was elected president of
the congress and was again honored by
being chosen as chairman Of the ma
tional executive committee. The form
of organization of the congress was dis
cussed at some length, to the end that
the body might become more stable and
of a more permanent character. The re-
port of the committee on plan Of organi-
zation was adopted. 1t embodied a con-
stitution and bylaws Federal versus
state control and maintenance of reser-
voirs in arid districts were leading SUBJ
jects for discussion. Resolutions were
finally adopted favoring national help
for reservoir building.

VARIETIES OF WHEAT.
The Three Great Groups With Which This
Country Is Concerned.


Country Is Concerned.
Dividing the United States crosswise
into three divisions Of approximately
equal width, the three wheat groups
may, in a rough way, be assigned, ac-
cording to their adaptability, to these
three divisions as follows: (a) The
hard wheats to the northern states, (b)
the soft wheats to the states in middle
ATTITUDES and (c) the durums to the south
ern states.
The hard wheats are, as a rule, hardy
and especially drought resistant. They
resist the orange leaf rust quite we'll,
are perfectly adapted to roller milling
and contain large per cent Of gluten,
thus making the best bread. Mark A.
Carleton, United States department of
agriculture, advises, therefore. for the
general market that special attention be
given to raising these hard wheats. He
says: No ordinary bread wheat does
well in the extreme south, but there
should be greater effort to push hard
wheats into middle ATTITUDES, such as in
Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, southern ILL
nois and Indiana.
In foreign markets Kansas hard win
ter wheat flour has already gained a
reputation distinctively it's own and is
classed by some as next to the best Hun
garian grades in quality.
The sooner millers make a more gen.
eral use of hard wheats the better, for
these are sure to be the varieties most
in demand and those which grow most
successfully in the greater portion of
the wheat belt. It is little more than a
decade since hard wheats were rarely
seen in the region south Of Iowa and
Nebraska, but now they are the kinds
generally grown in the states of the
plains
Much Of the work of adapting hard
wheats to middle latitudes has been
done by acclimatizing northern spring
varieties, thereby gradually changing
them to winter sorts, but it is a ques-
ton whether it is not better to intro
duce hard winter varieties direct.
The finest class Of bread wheats in
the world is grown in southeast Russia.
AS this region is characterized by a
deep, black earth, an arid climate, long
and severe winters and hot, dry sum-
transformations very similar to those
which prevail in our own wheat belt
these wheats should by all means be
more extensively tested. The wheats in
question are both winter and spring
sown varieties. The plants can be readi-
~ distinguished at some distance when
grown with different varieties in small
plats, as they are dark green; slender;
with long, narrow leaves; small, mar
row, compressed heads; small, very
hard, red grains, and often in spring
varieties have velvety surface. The
Turkey, Ames, various sorts called
Odessa, Meekins, Mennonite, Krimsh,
De Theisse, Girka, Budapest, etc., are
examples of such varieties. The high
grade Chubut wheats of southern Ar
gentina are also of much the same quail
ity.
Hard wheats do not usually give re-
markable yields, but their average for
a series Of years will often exceed that
of soft wheats, and they almost invaria.
bly, weigh more per bushel.

Steam and Other Engines.

The most obvious means of driving a
pump after the windmill is the steam
engine. Where, however, fuel is expen-
sive the cost may be prohibitory. Next
to steam come the gas or gasoline and
hot air engines. The fact seems to be-,
according to investigations made under
the auspices of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, that there are
few if any steam pumping plants in
successful operation for irrigating pur-
poses on the great plains. It is also re-
ported that but few Of the gasoline
Jumping plants have been installed.

Leather and Kerosene.

There is one use of kerosene which is
seldom mentioned. It often happens
that when a heavy shoe or boot has been
wet it hardens and draws so that it
hurts the foot. If the shoe is put on
and the leather thoroughly wet with
kerosene, the stiffness will disappear
and the leather become pliable, adapt
ing itself to the foot. If oiled while
wet, the leather retains it's softness a
longer time. The kerosene does not in

What Is q Good Sugar Beet?

In reply to the query, "What is a
good sugar beet?" G.. w. Shaw of the
Oregon station says:
Many farmers have wrong idea as
to what constitutes good beet for sug-
ar purposes. Contrary to popular idea
which is quite extant in the state, the
beet should be small, with a large leafy
top. Brien says: "The size of the beet
is in the inverse ratio Of it's sugars and
salts; the content of water increases
