work in the church, saying IL is of the
utmost value. He talked entertainingly
OF the marvellous power of observation
among women, saying:
"She whose broom finds the dark corners
behind the bureau or under the bed or
hidden away somewhere else, who instinc-
lively is able TO get down into the depths
of an old bureau with its old treasures
stored away there, or down into a closet
she has brought into the church work
something of her courage and ability TO
solve the dark problems and to reach
the last item of detail that goes to make
up success and 10 sweep out of the way
the greatest difficulties. So il is not sur
prising that the Womens Foreign Mis-
sionary Society proposes TO settle the Chi
uese problem in the East, the race prob
lem in the South. the Indian question in
the West and many other great questions .
DR.. Bacon commended the plan of work
employed by the Home Missionary Society

A Perfect Winter wheat.

Up-to-date Farming tells what a per
feet winter wheat should be. 1t should
mature early, as few days delay in
harvesting may give rust, blight or in
sects a chance to injure the crop, and
it must be prolific in yield. One vari-
ETY. will often produce twenty bushels
or more above the yield Of another on
same soil and similar conditions. 1t
should have stiff straw to prevent the
stems from falling Oh. lodging before
harvest, which VIII result only in
shruuken and imperfeetly matured
grain. 1t must be hardy in winter as
some varieties winter kill much more
than others, and it should have a thin
skin. Some kinds have so thick skin
that there will be several pounds more
of bran and less of flour than with 9th
er thinner-skinned sorts, which makes
them undesirable for the miller. Can
ali these qualities be combined in one
variety, and who will first offer such
variety to the public?

Fodder Crops.

At the experiment station at Still
water, Okla, they tested several differ
ent fodder crops to find the yield per
acre, and in the winter aseertained the
dry matter and the amount digestible
in each one. They found the digestible
dry matter In corn per acre was 1906
pounds, Kaffir corn GIG pounds, black
rice corn 7,01S pounds, Milo maize 10,-
01G pounds, small sorghum HOP
pounds, large sorghum 1852 pounds.
The sorghum and Milo maize gave high
or yields than the corn and Kaffir but
they were very low in protein or
growth-making material and therefore
not so valuable for feeding especially
for growing animals.
