MORE SCIENCE NEEDED.
To Make Wheat-Gr0wing . Success
Cultural Methods Must He Stud.
led Carefully.

The question Of wheat growing
must ever remain large one in Amer
lean agriculture. There are many To-
cal1ties where other crops can be
grown more profltably than wheat,
and In such localities it is evident that
wheat growing should be abandoned
except as an incidental crop. But we
have, especially in the west. vast
stretches of land that can be used only
in the growing Of wheat. Wheat is a
money-grain. It always has value
that may be determined by little fig
uring. It can always be disposed Of at
once.
In the great semi-arid region of the
west the attempts to grow wheat have
been marked by both signal successes
and signal failures. We cite the wheat
crop of Kansas this year. It is certain
ly money maker. When we consider
that wheat was grown-much Of tt
on low-priced land. we can see what it
means to the farmers there. A man
has perhaps purchased land at five
dollars per acre. He has failed with
most crops on that land. But now
comes a crop that in single year en-
ables him to wipe out the mortgage.
This phase OF the situation will always
induce men in those regions to try
wheat growing.
1t only requires the application Of
science to make wheat growing sue
cess nearly every year in what we call
the semi-arid region. This Is shown
by the fact that some Russian farm
ers that settled in Mcpherson, Ellis,
Graham, Harvey and other counties of
Kansas have had good crops of wheat
every year, even when their neighbors
have failed signally. These Russian
farmers came from regions where
wheat growing is carried on under
harder conditions than those that ex-
ist generally in the lands under discus
sion. Cultural methods and varieties
of seed must be more systematically
studied.

"KiIIin' Niggas T00.'

The Highland Recorder OF last week
contains the following amusing story
by Capt. James .Bumgardner Capt.
James Bumgardner, Jr., of Staunton,
an old confederate who went through
lit" with the boys, and not unlike the
the balance, loves to mediate on those
old days, full of hardship and danger,
yet deer; and occasionally relate just
one little incident that may be brought
fresh to mind, told us not long since, a
little story that took place at the battle
of Mcdowell.
THE fighting had ceased. the Capt.
said, when be found himself and com
pany On the Staunton & Parkersburg
road, not far from where the old dis
tillery now stands, and they were very
tired and hungry. They rested here for
a short while, but we're soon ordered.
by Gen. Jackson, farther up the road
and placed on picket duty. Already
they we're bringing the dead and wound
ed down from the battle field and were
placing them on either side of the road,
forming that horrible spectacle that
always followed the battles of the civil
war For some distance the road was
lined with dead men, and right at the
end of the line, very near to where the
captain s company was stationed. three
negro teamsters who had been driving
across the mountain while the battle
was in progress, had been killed by
stray balls and had fallen from their
teams to the road bed. the teams pass
ing on. There on the white sand the
colored brothers slept with their eyes
open, which sight added to the one just
presented, was not calculated to make
the step more firm or the nerve more
steady.
This was the lay Of the land at the
time the Capt. looked up the line and
saw the company's colOred cook COM
ing down the road with their break
fast. They watched him as be drew
nearer and they could notice that he
was on the "jerky'' order, and as he
entered the dead lines the jerkiness
increased perceptibly. But On he
came, looking this way and that, be-
fore and behind; but still he advanced
through the lines, with gingerly,
step, until he came to the
PROSTATE forms of the cOlored brothers
On the white sand, and that proved
too much for the colored cook. Drop
ping his hamper at his feet the old fel-
low threw up his hands and exclaim-
ed: 80! My Lawdyl Da has done

They helped him over the ghostly
place, and shortly after that, the Cap
tain said. that coon took sudden leave.
and he has not seen him from that
day to this.

Convenient BusheI Crates.

A bushel contains 2,54s cubic inches

or crate whose inside dimensions are

a bushel when level full. For the end
pieces select one-inch pine boards, 10
inches wide. and saw them in 14-inch

This may be done with an auger, the
roughness being cut down with a
chisel. Next, saw good, strong, four

Best Way to Catch Rats.

To catch rats, cover barrel with
stiff, stout paper, tying the edge round
the barrel. Place board SO that the
rats may have easy access to the top.
Sprinkle cheese parings or other food
for the rats on the paper for several
days until they begin to think they
have right to their daily rations from
this source. Then place In the bottom
of the barrel piece Of rock about six
or seven inches high, filling with water
until only enough of it projects above
the water for one rat to hang on. Then
replace the paper, first cutting cross
in the middle, and the first rat that
comes on the barrel top goes through
into the water and climbs on the rock.
The paper comes back to Its original
position and the second rat follows
the first. Then begins fight for the
the possession of the dry place on the
stone, the noise of which attracts the
others, who share the same fate.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Salt put on manure heaps will tend
to prevent flrefranging.
Look over the implements to see if
repairs are needed. Then repair them.
and not wait until they come into use.
There Is difference Of men as well
as In animals. Some will get more
profit from given animal and given

not that your experience?
Is your cellar properly ventilated? :?
Most cellars are damp and the air i'm

lives over the cellar usually and should
