People near Alliance have recently
received five bushels of what is called
Macaroni wheat, a grain which, it is
said, will stand any kind of drouth
without whiting. An experiment will
be made of it this year and If it finds
it can really endure what Nebraska
calls a drOuth more will be sowed next
year. This grain is raised in Uralsk,
Russia, and in Central Asia, where no
more than ten inches of moisture fall
yearly, on the average. 1t is thought
that IL 1t can resist this ind of weather
there, nothing Nebraska can boast of
will harm it. The berry is large,
smooth, lovely to look upon and deli
cious to the taste. The five bushels
shipped to Alliance will be sowed in
areas wide apart, round about Alliance,
to be sure that 1t has reasonably fair
trial. If it fails for one man it may
succeed with another and thus some
seed may be carried over for another
season.

The recent very high wind was re-
sponsible for the death of NJ. H. Smith
of Loup City In a peculiar manner. He
had left the city to visit his farm about
eight miles away and among other du-
ties he sought to repair the windmill.
1t stood on a tower about thirty feet
high. Though an old man upwards
of sixty years of age he did not hesi-
tate to climb to the top. The mill was
turning violently with the fiercely
blowing wind but this did not deter
him. AS he raised his head above the
level of the little platform a sudden
gust veered the fan wheel and 1t
whirled against his head. The next in
stant, with face and scalp pitifully
torn he fell to the roof of the mill
house below and from there rolled to
the ground. Here he was found dead
a short time later. So deep and ragged
were the wounds on his head that it
was thought the whirring wheel killed
him instantly.

Two horses recently met death in an

owner had driven to a dance and dur

jealous person had taken the liberty
to unhitch them. The lines were sill

the animals were free they gayly
strayed away. Before going far they
reached the creek. Over the bank they
