Wheat as Stock Feed.

The Topeka State Journal says that
miller and grain dealer in Mcpherson.
Kan, says there is less wheat in Nc
Pherson County than for many years
at the same date. The scarcity of corn
and its high price have led many to
feed it to stock He claimed to know
Of some who had fed out 5000 bushels,
and one man, who sold 1000 bushels
last July, had since bought 5000 BUSH
els to feed out, and another had bought
5000 bushels for the same purpose.
He estimated the amount fed on the
farms in that county at not less than
500 bushels on each farm, and the to-
tai as not less than half the crop of
1901. Whiie We think these figures
may be a little exaggerated, or more
than a little If applied to more than
the one county, we do not find fault If
they are true. Though in the Eastern
States. we used to think wheat -four
bread a luxury compared to that made
from cornmeal, or "rye and Indian
meal. If the farmers there can grow
wheat SO that it costs less than corn,
let them feed it, as it has about the
same nutritive value. Not many years
ago the farmers of Kansas and Ne
braska were reported as burning their
corn because ton Of it would not buy
a ton of coal, and made a better fire
Now IL a bushel Of ground wheat will
fatten as many steers or hogs as a
bushel Of cornmeal, and costs less. let
them use it.-American Cultiyator.

Does Sheep-Raising Pay.

To this question the sheep raiser on
land at a low value will undoubtedly
answer yes, and the man on high price
land no. 1t would seem as if some
thing was wrong with this state Of af-
fairs. Year by year the raising Of
sheep in large numbers changes from
the high price farm to the one where
land Is cheap. 1t may be true that in
the East where farms are held at
prices more than double that asked for
land in sections of the West. farmers
can not afford to raise sleepy yet why
not? In any section where sheep can
be raised without the winter season
Of feeding being too long sheep should
be raised with profit regardless Of the
land value of the farm, within reason,
of course. 1t is largely a question Of
intelligent management. just as with
any other crop. Everything seems to
point to decided change in methods
during the coming years, and the
thoughtful farmer with some knowl-
edge of sheep raising Is beginning to
feel that by keeping up the fertility
of his farm he can raise sheep as profit
ably for his market as his distant COM
petitor for his.

QUAINT SAYINGS OF A JUDO
Some Philosophical Comments Made
by British Jurist.

Some Philosophical Comments Made
by British Jurist.
Judge Bacon, who presides in the
London England County Court, is one
of the wits of the British judiciary. He
has to deal with all races and ali class
es, and has become famous for terse
decisions and quaint sayings. Here are
some of the utterances that he recently
delivered from the bench:
On the veracity Of woman-"Women
tell stories so much more easily than
men,"
Concerning Interpreters - People
who translate language they do not
understand into one they know less"
When the evidence was contradictory
There is nothing astonishing in per-
jury. 1t has long ceased to surprise
me; it only saddens ME now"
About money lenders-"My own i'm
preston Is that the lender is about as
honest as the borrower. AS rule there
is no Misrepresentation that man will
not make when he wishes to borrow
money, and when he does not want to
pay it back he will repeat the opera
tion."
To a defendant who declared she
couldn't stay there and listen to such
lies"-"Think of me; have to listen to
them every day of my life.''
A woman pleaded inability to pay a
debt on account Of illness. Four doc
tors had attended her-Judge Bacon:
-Four doctors! And you have survived
Wonderful"
Suggested by a solicitors undecipher-
able signature-'It must have taken
him a good deal of time and trouble to
hit upon such a signature as that, with
dots and scrawls all over the place. l
suppose he considers illegibility a sign
of intellect"
At Whitechapel County Court-''The
morality of the Hebrew ought to be as
high as that of the Christian. 1t is de-
| rived from the same source, and the
| rabbis inculcate a standard Of just
| dealing of the purest and highest char

them being called ''fag officers" Such
flags are square, to distinguish them
from other banners.
3. A flag of truce Is a white flag,
displayed to an enemy to indicate a
desire for parley or consultation.
4. The white flag is sign of peace.
After a battle parties from both sides
often go out to the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead under the
protection of the white flag.
5. The reg flag is sign of defiance
and Is often used by revolutionists.
In our service it Is a mark Of danger,
and shows vessel to be receiving or
discharging her powder.
6. The black flag Is sign Of piracy.
Z. The yellow flag shows vessel to
be in quarantine Or is sign of con-
tagious disease.
8. A flag at half-mast means mourn
ing. Fishing and other vessels return
with the flag at half-mast to announce
the loss or death Of some of their
crew.
9. Dipping the flag is lowering 1t
slightly, then hoisting it again to sa-
lutte a vessel or fort If the President
of the United States goes aboard, the
American flag is carried in the bow OF
his barge or hoisted at the mast OF
the vessel on board of which he is.

HOW It ALI Happened.

Tommy had a cold on Washington 8
birthday. 1t was just wee bit of a
cold. not enough to count, Brother Fred
said; but then Fred didn't know any
thing about it, of course.
"An' 1 can't bring in the kindling-
wood or feed the chickens or go to
schoolw announced Tommy, jubilantly,
and then he coughed, such a funny,
made-up cough that Brother Fred
laughed "Ho! hor' and Sister Kate
laughed HE! hew and Mamma Stone
said, 'Deary me! You're not bit like
George Washington, are you?"
Tommy didn't know what it was all
about, and he said so, and then mamma
laughed, a bright, CHEEKY laugh. "Do
you know who George Washington
wasp she said.
Tommy stood very straight and tall.
He put back his shoulders and let his
arms hang down by his sides. He
looked just exactly as he did when he
stood at the head of his class at school.
George Washington was great gen
eral," he said, quickly, "an' he was a
soldier, an President Of the United
States, an he was the Father of His
Country sides lots of other things"
"Goodv' said mamma. "And George
Washington was never too sick to dc
his duty, and that is one reason why
he was a great general and a good SOL
dier."
Tommy shifted. 81 guess George
WASHINGTON never had cold like
miner he exclaimed.
"Ho! hov' laughed Brother Fred. "He
her laughed Sister Kate again.
"Never had a cold!" said mamma.
"Once upon time he had fever, and
he had to stay in his bed for days and
days, but the minute he was able te
get ND and go out again, back to his sol
diers he went! Are you able to go out
Tommy, or must put you to bed"
Tommy looked solemn. 81 don't want
to 60 to bedr' he said, decidedly. q
"Then," said mamma, "a whole army
of weod-sticks wants to see you, anG
some feathery soldiers want theil
breakfast. and a whole schoolroom ol
boys and girls will expect you to lead
the march. If you wish you can play
you are George Washington, instead oi
Tommy Stone, and only one thing yot
must remember if you play that play
that you are never too sick to do you
duty"
And that is now it all happened thai
Tommy fed the hens and filled the
wood box. and when he went to schoo
he had a new George Washington story
to tell; and it was such a good story
that the teacher put star on his slate
which means that it was a very goot
story, indeed.
When Tommy came home at noon hi:
cough was gone and he had forgotten
all about his cold. which all goes Il
prove that Brother Fred was right. L
was not enough to count.-Youth's Com
| paniou.

Hard on the Cook.

Lord John Townsend, a British gour-
met of so years ago, would often call to
the footman in the middle of dinner:
''Tell the cook to come to ME this
moment" which occasioned rather an
awkward pause. Then, ON the entrance
of the poor cook with very red face from
the combined effects of the kitchen fire
and mental confusion, he would address
her in voice of thunder: "Pray have
the goodness to taste that dish and tell
me if you do not agree with me that ii
is beastly"
