His wrist is nat and broad, a wrist for
strength. His hair, once reddish brown,
genuinely Cisleithan, Is fringed with white.
His beard is not nearly so big and bushy

habit Of looking down has given his neck
a forward set and his Shoulders a stoop.
He is neither imposing, impressive nor
commanding, says Victor Smith in the
New York Press.
You would not turn to look at him a

MACARONl WHEATS.
Principal Varieties and Regions to
which They Are Adapted.

hteh IheJ are A0apte0s
All macaroni wheats are extremel,
sensitive to changes Of soil and eli
mate. This will account for certain
peculiarities in the quality of the grair
that have already been noticed BY
growers occasionally in this country
Grains partially soft and white are
from crops grown either under damp
er, cooler conditions or in places where
there Is comparatively little nitrogen
In the soil. The requisite conditions fol
a perfect grain are a black prairie soil
and short hot, dry summers. On the
whole changes of climate appear to
have a greater effect than changes OF
soil, but II the soil becomes almost be-
reft Of humus the grain shows the ef-
feet plainly by becoming more opaque
and white because Of the preponder-
ance Of starch. II in this case the eli
mate Is at the same time arid, the
grain remains rather hard, but simply
because Of its dryness. II the soil is
black and rich and the climate too
moist, there Is considerable discolora-
ton, and black ends may show them
selves. Two or three good rains are
sufficient to mature a crop. Otherwise
the drier and hotter the better, while
humid atmosphere can not be tolerated.
From fifty to seventy-fve so called
varieties of durum or macaronl wheats
have been described by different writ
ers. There are probably a hundred or
more varieties already known to be in
use under distinct names. Though the
larger number OF varieties are In prac-
teal use of minor Importance, there
are q few having we'll marked charac-
teristics and which have attained a
high reputation.
The variety which is the basis Of a
very large part Of the macaroni wheat
export from the Azov sea region Is the
Gharnovka. The wheat itself has a
medium long, square, dense. yellowish
white head, while the boards are dark
and very long. The grain is quite large,
light yellow In color and rather trans
lucent and vitreous. There are several
different strains even of the Gharnov-
ka recognized In the Don territory.
Probably the best Of these Is the Vel
low Gharnovka, which has grain Of
deeper yellow than the others. Both
the Gharnovka and Yellow Gharnovka
have recently been obtained and dlstrib-
uted by the department Of agriculture.
according to Cerealist NJ. A. Carleton,
from whose report on macaroni wheats
these facts are learned. This wheat is
adapted to such districts as
Nebraska. Oklahoma and east
ern Colorado. 1t will probably prove to
be one of the best durum wheats for
the middle and southern great plains

HIGH AND Low GRADE PARIS GREEN AS
SEEN UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.
sively adulterated is the color test.
Pare paris green has a bright green
color shade or two lighter than en-
erald. Any samples which have q dull
or pale, washed out appearance
should ut once be discarded without
further question. BY placing n small
quantity In. say, a homeopathic vial
and tapping the latter gently on the
bottom or side adulterants can be made
to separate from the green and can
then be seen as white streaks or patch
es against the glass sides Of the vial.
The pure green remains bright green
against the glass.
In connection with the color test Pro-
lessor Woodwork of the California
station has devised the following SIM
pie test, which can be made by any
one and which will show Immediately
If the sample is worthy of any further
consideration: Place upon clean glass
plate a small quantity Of green-what
one can easily pick up on the point Of
penknife. Tilt the plate at slight
angle and gently tap the edge just
enough to cause the green to flow
down, leaving q streak across the plate.
II the green is of good quality, the
streak will be a bright, light emerald
green; II adulterated, whitish or q
sickly dull green. ANY samples which
exhibit the latter are either adulter-
ated or of low grade and as such are
not worthy of further consideration.
Another very simple way to show the
presence of adulterants is the ammo
MIA test. Pure paris green Is wholly
soluble in ammonia. while some of its
common adulterants are not. Therefore
II after dissolving a small quantity In
ammonia any residue remains undis-
solved the sample has been adulter-
ated and should be discarded. Unfortu-
nately this test does not show tho
presence Of any free or uncombined
arsenious oxide, which, although 1t has
BOT been considered strictly an adul-
terant on the ground Of its poisoning
qualities, Is nevertheless Objectionable
on account Of its injurious action on
the foliage.
One Of the quickest and surest |
means of determining the presence of |

uent Is the compound microscope.
