FACTS ABOUT FLOURINE,
1t Contains Very Little Protein and Is
Deficient in Bone-FormtnS
Constituents.

Prof. Snyder, of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station, has recently made
chemical analysis of fourine, the by
product of the glucose mills that is now
being used as an adulterant of wheat
flour. His report, which appears in the
Northwestern Miller, is not in accord
with the claims which have been made
for this product, especially in the i'm
portant feature of nutritive value. An
alysis shows the fourine contains so lit
tie protein that man would have to eat
$50 pounds of it in order to get enough
protein to enable him to do days work.
It is deficient in bone-forming constitu-
ents and fat as we'll, and in fact contains
little of food value except starch. But
still worse, it contains sulphate of soda
and sulphuric acid enough to make it
Injurious to health. Is it any wonder that
European consumers of American flour
are regarding it with suspicion when
there is possibility of it containing such
a worthless-and worse than worthless
substance? Is it strange that Eu-
ropean governments, which represent
people who dare not waste a penny even
for bread, are on the alert to protect
their people against such an imposition
as flour adulterated with fourine?
Some means should be found of prevent
ing the expectation of adulterated -four
to foreign markets, and also of prevent
ing it's sale to our own people as pure
wheat four.-National Stockman.

GOOD THING TO HAVE.
Some Reasons Why a Reliable Scale
Should BE Found ON Every
UD-tO-Date Farm.

Comparatively few farm conveniences
equal those of good farm scale in con-
Quoting farm operations on business
basis It is very unfortunate for man
to be placed in such a position that he
is obliged to accept the weights and
measures of buyer in disposing of his
produce, though we are glad to say mis-
use of this advantage is comparatively
rare among buyers of farm produce. But
in addition to the economy of knowing
the weights of produce to be sold, the
scale is of immense advantage in keep
ing track of the growth of live stock
during feeding operations and in testing
the feeding qualities of the animalspro
duced on the farm, as may be done by
frequent weighing. The scale is also an
element of interest when boys are
growing up on the farm. They have a
natural instinct for keeping track of
those things that may be found out by
weighing and measuring, and the scale
thus becomes an educating influence
that has great value attached.-Prairie
Farmer.

MOVABLE ROOF FOR HAYsTACK.

ceiling. They were hip-roofed, making
them as solid as light material could
make them; then to hold them in place,
four four by four inch posts were set
in the ground ii feet high, with four
plates at the top to hold the posts in
position and keep them plumb. The
roof was placed in position before the
posts were set up, having the corners at
the cave ends of the roof set so as to
permit the roof to slide up or down on
or between the posts. Holes were bored
in the posts to put in pins to hold the
roof up. When it is time to begin
stacking, fasten the roof at the top Of
the posts and begin the stack between
the posts. Build to finish, or in case
there is not enough hay cut, put in
what there is, stopping work on the
stack for any length of time, take out
the pins and lower the roof down upon
the hay. leaving the hay level, or near
ly so. AS the stack settles. the roof will
follow the hay down and protect it
from rain and wind.-W. H. Doane, in
Farm and Home.

The Plant and the Soil.

Each plant has its own requirements
of water and heat Wheat, oats and
tame grasses require soil that will
retain 20 to rs per cent. of its own
weight of water and medium temper
allure for their best development. This
means ine-textured soil, well settled
below the surface. Corn and the sor-
ghums do best on moisture content of
>16 to 20 per cent and a high temporal
ture. Corn roots prefer a thoroughly
.pulverized soil, not too compact. We
always find the fibrous roots or food
>gatherers most abundant where the soil
was well stirred. Potatoes will thrive
on less moisture than corn, but as
rule good corn soil is good potato soil.

PROPER CARE OF HAY.
How to Build q Movable Roof for the
Haystack Which Assures
a.y- Absolute Protection.

Few understand the art of stacking
so that rain will not get into the Gen.
ter. One great enemy to keeping hay
is the wind, especially in Kansas.
Many times the farmer gets his hay
and grain stacked up in good condi-
ton, and along comes a gust of wind
and all of his labor is swept away, as
far as the keeping qualities of his stack
IRE concerned. Enough hay goes to
waste every year on many farms to
pay for lumber to cover it. In Illinois,
years ago, stacks of hay were rooted
with three-eighths or fve-eighths inch

COULD SCARCELY RAISE HIS HAND,
Yet took care of seventy head OF stock.
The farmer who found friend.

Serious results often follow a strain,
especially when it affects the back, and
few people are so liable to strain as those
who, are lifting heavy loads Of various
kinds, from day to day. The teamster
rarely ever overtaxes his strength Fa-
miliarity with the class of wares he
handles, enables him to entirely gage the
load he lifts SO as not to put an excessive
burden on himself. But with the farmer
it is different. He is lifting loads of such
varying weights. and under such varying
conditions that he is very liable to lift
little too much some day, with injurious
results. Many serious affections of the
great organs OF the body originate in a

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Old Saying About Keeping All the
Eggs In One Basket Is al
True as Ever 1t WaS.

This is a subject which cannot be too
often brought to the attention Of
farmers everywhere, because it is the
most rational as we'll as the most profit
able system that has ever been devised.
To raise corn alone or wheat alone or
cotton alone is not the part of wisdom
Thousands of acres of Kentucky land is
barren because, it has been devoted to
tobacco exclusively and multiplied
thousands are barren in other states
because cotton, wheat or corn has been
grown year after year, until the plant
food for the particular favorite crop is
exhausted.
There is hardly place in the United
States where the farmer is confined t.
single crop as his main dependence.
H can rotate corn, oats and grass or
clover; corn, wheat and clover, or corn,
oats, wheat and clover in the corn belt,
cotton and almost any other crop or
series of crops in most of the cotton
belt and even the great wheat fields of
the northwest may be given over to a
rotation of at least three years. dura-
ton to the benefit of the land.
When one crop fails from stress Of
weather another is usually the better
for it. This year the corn prospect is
very bad, while in the same sections
wheat, oats and meadows are looking
better than usual, and the man who has
diversified crops is able to face the stu
alton with calmness.
Our southern brother who devotes
hiswhole time to cotton and buys every
thing he needs in the way of food,
might proftably devote few acres to
growing food supplieswith great profit,
and if to these he would add live stock
he would find profitable market for
his stock and secure the best fertilizer
for his cotton at the same time.-Farm-
ers' Voice.

The action Of DR.. Ayers Pills on the
liver makes them invaluable for those
living in malaria1 climates. G. F. Aston,
Quitman, Texas, writes:
II have found in DR., ]. G. Ayers Pills an
invaluable remedy for constipation, bill
iousness, and kindred disorders, peculiar
to :miasmatic localities. Taken in small
and frequent doses, these pills act we'll on

DR.. Ayers Pills are specific for all dis
eases of the liver, stomach, and bowels,
they promote digestion, cure constipa-
