Macaroni is to become another home
product if the plans of the United
States government succeed as they
promise to do. At present we imports
16, 600, 900 pounds of macaroni EACH
year, because it's manufacture demands
a special class of flour made from a
wheat that had been grown here.
Government experts were sent abroad
two years ago and they brought back
with them a quantity of this macaroni
wheat. Experiments showed that it
was well adapted to a wide territory
in the west and northwest and that
land sown with it yielded from one
third to one-half more than other land
sowed with other wheat. And, better
still, the new wheat was found to be
wonderfully resistant to drought, and
in the Dakotas, where other wheats
were total failures, the new variety
produced an excellent yield. Domestic
manufacturers of macaroni, who had
been handicapped by lack of proper
flour, are demanding all that can be
produced now, and its introduction has
already opened a new field to American
farmers, as it will open a new field to
American bakers.

bitually the can covers and sampling
dipper are laid in particular places
marked by their quota of incrustations
of milk. The buttermaker greets the
patrons as they bring the milk, smells
the milk and scrutinizes the cans for
dirt. The patrons take the empty cans
submissively and drive to the other
side of the creamery where they fill
the cans with skimmilk out of a tank
often lined with sour and putrefying
milk, sometimes reinforced with wa
ter to make it hold out. Some of them
take a little buttermilk out of a cistern
or tank, the smell of which is motor
ious. When brought home the cans Of
milk are left so until evening as a rule.
Then 1t is fed to the swine and the
cans are washed, usually poorly be-

how this power might be advanta-

The only question now was OF time

not only possible but practicable. Mr.
Maxim pointed out the necessity OF

Shorts, who has been elected captain OF
Michigan for 1902, combines with his
ability TO play the tackle position. the
knack of hurdling his opponents line
and advancing the ball whenever his
team needs n few yards.
Stahl stands pre-eminently the best
guard in the West because of his grand
defense and his well-known ground
gaining ability.
There need be no real serious discus
sion in the matter of ends, although
Neil Snow has played full back for
Michigan in offense formations. For
three years he has shown his brill
liancy as an end rush, and he is I'M
qualiiedly entitled to one position. Ju-
neau, besides being undoubtedly the
best drop kicker in the West, is one
of the surest tacklers, and his speed
in getting down the field on punts is SO
well known that it needs no advertis-
ing.
Weeks of Michigan appears to be a
shade better than Marshall. What is
more, Weeks has played during the en-
tire season, while Fogg played quarter
for Marshall in the early games.

RESUME OF FOOTBALL SEASON.

RESUME OF FOOTBALL SEASON.
With the ending of the football sea-
o fans" have an opportunity-dear
to their hearts-of comparing the work
done by their favorite teams and play
ers. The Eastern games have furnished
more surprises than those of the West,
the crushing defeat of Yale by Harvard
astonishing many who thought them
selves close observers of events on the
gridiron. Harvard is the u~ndisputed
champion of the Eastern teams.
Admirers of the University of Michi-
gan are confident that the kings of the
East would have no walkover in a con-
test with that team. Indeed, remem-
bering the wonderful record made by
the Wolverines this year, there should
be no heavy odds that Harvard would
defeat them.
Michlgan's wonderful football eleven
smothered Iowa with touchdowns at
Chicago Thanksgiving day. The
was so to 0.
The Michigan men lived down a de-
feat of 20 to s administered to them by
the Hawkeyes a year ago, and they did
more. Their record for the year stands
as the worlds mark for gridiron war
riors. In a season of play their score
board shows sol to 0. Such en- accom-
plishment has never been approached.
In the light of football history 1t is
doubtful if it ever will be equaled.
Coach Yost certainly turned out a
wonderful team. 1t is almost assured
that he will remain at the University
of Michigan for three more years.
While discussing the subject with
Keene Fitzpatrick and several of the
players, he has expressed his willing
ness to sign a three-year contract.
A post-season game between the
teams of the Universities Of Michigan
and Wisconsin would have been a foot
ball treat, indeed, but the many and
weighty seasons against such a game
proved too much. Wisconsin has made
an enviable record for the year. The
teams of the other colleges have been
of a mediocre order.

The postal authorities at Liverpool
have just completed a series of expert
ments with the telephone to determine
it's value for long-distance conversa-
tions. 1t has been found possible to
carry on a telephone communication
with Paris, a distance of 4S9 miles, or
more than half way from New York to
Chicago.
Further south than Paris the speaker
could only be heard in Liverpool under
exceptionally favorable conditions. One
result of these experiments has been
the abandonment of the scheme to at
tempt telephone connections between
London, Turin and Milan. These cities
have been found too far apart to be
embraced in a telephone circuit.

How Successful Farmers Operate This
Department of the Farm-A Few
Hints as to the Care of Live Stock
and Poultry.


Last week there was held at the
University of Illinois what was doubt
less the greatest live stock convention
eyer held in the state of Illinois in
point OF interest and real value to the
live stock interests. The attendance
at each of the meetings was in excess
of 100, among whom were some of the
most successful breeders and feeders
in the state. The interest was intense
and the discussions of the papers were
brisk. The sessions were conducted in
an able manner.
On the program were men that have
gained a national reputation in their
respective lines. From out Of the state
were the following: George McKer-
row, Wisconsin,; Joseph E. Wing,
Ohio; Prof. e. A. Burnett, Nebraska;
Prof. Thomas H. Hunt, Ohio; Prof.
G. +. Curtiss, Iowa; Prof. Cott-
rell, Kansas. Each one of these
men delivered addresses that were
right to the point and that We're a
credit to themselves. Among the Hi
nois speakers were l.. H. Kerrick,
Stanley r. Pierce, T. s. Chapman,
John G. Imboden and Prof. John II.
Skinner.
Another source of interest was the
presence of speakers representing the
transportation companies and the
stock yards, these interests being con-
sidered allied to the live stock inter-
ests. VIM. M. Shirley of the Swift
company, Chicago, spoke on our pack
ing interests and greatly interested the
audience in the packing business. Mr.
Charles Mallory of Chicago sent a pa
per on the marketing of live stock.
VIM. r. Bascom of the transportation
department of the Illinois Central
Railroad spoke on stock transporta-
ton.
The effect of the convention is sure
to be far reaching. A good many new
and valuable truths were brought to
light and will from that source go out
into all parts of the state. Some idea
of the value of the convention may be
gathered from the remark of Prof.
Curtiss of Iowa at the close Of the
last session. He said: 1.-THE Iowa
Fine Stock Breeders Association has
for many years been considered the
best of its kind In the country, and
has attained a worldwide reputation,
But l can now tell them that they can
come into Illinois and learn, for now
there is In the country no association
of live stock breeders superior to that
in Illinois or more far reaching In
it's influence on the Improvements in
methods of breeding and raising cat
tle."
The old officers Of the association
were unanimously reelected, the Off
GERS being as follows: President, A. P
Grout, Winchester; secretary, Fred H
Rankin, Agricultural College; treasur
er, S.. Noble King, Bloomington.

Poultry keepers that intend to show
at poultry exhibitions should see to it
that they have their birds in coops
properly constructed. They should be
neat and should be so built that the
fowls will be exposed to as little draft
of air as possible. Also there should
be neat arrangements for feeding and
watering the birds. The door should
be arranged TO open with the least
trouble possible.
We notice in a poultry paper the as
sertion that the feeding of oats may
be dangerous, owing to the sharp
points that penetrate the crops when
they are filled full and water taken
afterward. For this reason some poul-
try growers will not feed them at all.
The writer has found that this trouble
does not exist where the oats are kept
before the fowls constantly. They will
then never eat enough at any one
time to pack the crop. The puncturing
is possible only when the oats are fed
to very hungry birds. Oats are nearly
a perfect food.
The poultry house should be cleaned
out often; certainly once a week. Twice
a week would be better. We have seen
poultry houses with months of accu-
mutations under the roosts and in fact
in all parts of the poultry house. In
the warm days of winter a fermenta-
ton is set up that is exceedingly I'M
pleasant to the person hat chances to
visit the houses and possibly is injuri-
u to the fowls. Anyway it should
lot be permitted to exist.
