weeviIy wheat n. Food.

Those who have wheat injured by
the grain moth or weevl will do well
to remember that wheat contains near
ly 1874 per cent of digestible protein,
while oats have but 9A per cent and
corn about 5 per cent, says The Amer
lean Cultivator. We do not know how
much this may be reduced by the ac-
ton of the insects, and it may even be
increased by their working on the
starch contents, but such wheat may
prove valuable food for poultry or
hogs, though we doubt if the digestive
organs OF the hogs would destroy the
larva as would the grinding gizzards
of fowl AT least If we fed II out we
would not use the manure the animals
made to grow wheat unless we were
assured on that point.

Unique Decorations.

At n bridesmaids luncheon held re-
Gently the decorations were unique and
effective and attracted special atten-
ton. The centerpiece of the large
round table was low mass of violets
and lilies of the valley, from which
radiated ten white satin slippers filed
with the same flowers. The slippers
were genuine ones, ornamented with
bows of white ribbon, the ends of
which bore the names OF the guests in
gold lettering The toes pointed to the
different guests, and at the close of the
affair each girl carried Off the white
slipper marked for her and on the even
ing Of the wedding flung it after the
bride as she left her home.

Feeding Rye.

For early spring feeding when the
supply of hay is running low and the
end of the silage is In sight the dairy
man who has a patch of rye will find
it most valuable. During the winter a
good coat of manure may be profitably
applied TO 1t when the ground is fro
zen. If the manure can be applied
with a spreader. the work will be more
perfectly done, as the application
should be uniform and no lunches be
left to smother the rye. AS a diuretic
the rye Is valuable, and a general ton
ing up of the physical system of the
cows can always be observed.

Where commercial fertilizers are in

Amateur billiard Championship.

1t is probable that the next billiard
championship of the Amateur Athletic
union will not be held under the au-
spices of the Knickerbocker Athletic
club. New York. 1t is likely TO go to
Chicago. There is a feeling among the
athletic clubs of Chicago that the game
Of billiards is popular enough to insure
encouragement TO the club which will
undertake to hold the championship
tournament In a large hall. This is
what will be done in Chicago il the
national championships are allowed to
be held there. The tournament is
wanted by clubs in other cities as well
Other cities have an advantage over
New York, because the championship
has already been held there for two
years.

Wise Foresight.

We know several farmers who few
years ago made extraordinary sacri-
fees TO purchase a head or two Of fine
stock. 1t really seemed reckless for
men of their means TO go TO such ex-
pense for such purpose, and many ac-
tually predicted that they would be
glad to sell their fine stock at half
price before two years had rolled
round. We know about these men,
have kept track of them, and today
they are prosperous, some OF them re-
markably so. What was esteemed fool
