from Russia, where, from the use that
is made OF it, it received its name.
Macaroni is no very uncommon article
of food in this country, especially in
the cities, while in Italy it Is uni
versal food. It Is a paste or dough
prepared originally and chiefly In Italy
from the GlutinOus flour Of hard va
rieties Of wheat pressed into long
tubes or pipes through the perforated
bottom Of a vessel furnished with
spindals and afterward dried in the
sun or by low heat limitations OF it
are made in this country from ordi-
nary -four. Mark Alfred Carleton, the
agricultural departments cereaiist, in
circular sent out to tne country says
OF the nature Of macaroni wheats:
"Macaroni wheats differ radically
from the ordinary bread wheats and
in the field look more like barley than
wheat. The heads are fiat, compressed
and bearded, the beard often befng
black; the chaff is usually golden yell
low, but sometimes black, and the
grains are large, hard, yellowish white
and clear, or in wheats OF the best
quality sometimes translucent. There
are also occasionally velvet chatf varie-
ties. In Europe they are known sim
ply as hard wheats, OF durum wheats.
The grain is much harder than that Of
the hardest bread wheats, and in the
best varieties contain an unusual
amount Of nitrogen and a correspond
lngly small amount of starch. The
quantity and quality OF the gluten
make them extremely valuable for
making macaroni. They are extreme
ly resistant to drouth and resist the
attacks Of leaf rust and smuts to an
unusual degree. On the other hand
they will not withstand the hard win
ters and are usually grown as spring
wheats. This fact should not be a
strong objection to them, however for
they will behave very differently from
the ordinary spring wheats grown in
Kansas and Nebraska. South of the
thirty-afth parallel they may be sown
In late autumn" He adds: I'm seek
ing for crops suitable for semiarid dis
tricts we usually have especially in
mind the benefit of the region and not
the crop itself. In the case of maca-
roAi wheats, however, it is not only
true that they can be grown in dry
districts, but they must be grown
there in order to produce the best
quality Of grain and up to a minimum
Of about ten inches annual rainfall, |
the drier the better, provided the rain
falls in the proper time and the soil
is OF the right kind. d."-Chicago Chron- |

He Expels
Devils.

DR.. William d. Gentry, who con-
ducts a mission in Chicago, claims to
have and to exercise the power Of cast
ing out devils. He began the work, he
says three years ago when a woman
brought to him an afflicted child The
victim made a Kissing noise with its
mouth and for a time the doctor was
perpleXed to know whether the evil
spirit in possession Of the child was a
snake or a goose. He elected 1t, how
ever, and since then the doctor has
been in the deyil-eXpelling business.
DR.. Gentry is a sreat believer in the
efficacy of prayer and relates one case
that was cured by supplication after
all medical means had failed The doc
tor was then a practitioner himself,
but since that time he has given up
his medical practice and has labored
to heal the sick with the power that
he claims has been conferred upon
him. He takes no stock in Christian
use for money, His services are free.
The doctor has peculiar idea about
the part the sun plays IN our planetary
system and it is worth quoting. He
says the sun has no heat that it is as
cold as ice. "The sum-" he continues,

Arid-Land
:. =. Cereal

The existence Of vast plains in this
country where because Of the dryness
Of the climate agriculture is but little
pursued by the small population, is a
phenomenon that before many years
will be radically changed. The in
creasing interest of great numbers of
people in the semiarid west is mani
tested more and more each successive
year in the delegate conventions held
TO devise measures to water the arid
lands and to interest the United States
government in the work, that certain
Iy is one OF the most important of this
period. And while 80 many people
have been thinking on the subject of
utilizing those plains for agriculture
by means Of a system OF general irri-
CATION the United States department
OF agriculture has been intent upon
nnding and introducing crops adapted
10 the semiarid districts. During the
last twenty years a most useful work
has been done in this direction, but
only small beginning has been made.
seed corn has been imported from a
certain district in Africa and alfalfa
from districts Of Turkey and grass
that is a species Of wild oats without
bristles or beard. All have proved of
value as crops. Especially has alfalfa
proved of value; there are usually four
cuttings year Of it, or ten or twelve
tons from an acre, and it Is excellent
food both for cattle and hogs. The
Cudahys of Chicago have a packing
house in Los Angeles, and thousands
OF acres of land in one body, some
thirty miles from that city, which are
planted to alfalfa and into which hogs
are turned and allowed to help them
selves to the green fodder. It is sup
posed TO be profitable enterprise. for
otherwise the Cudahys would not pur-
sue 1t. But southern California is al
ready under extensive irrigation, and
all the crops that are raised anywhere
grow finely there. 1t is mainly of the
semiarid west, which includes both
the Dakotas, three-quarters of Ne
0raska, two-thirds of Kansas, all Of
Oklahoma and western Texas that the !
agricultural department has offered its
latest contribution to the agriculture |
Of the enormous region. This con-
tribution is of macaroni wheat, which |
the department believes to be quite
as important as the other mentioned
and which may be proAtably grown in
the plains region of the United States
far beyond the hundredth meridian,
and only less profitably in all the
states and territories west of the

and it is owing to ther variance that
we have the changes in temperature
