MORE SCIENCE NEEDED.
To Make Wheat-GrOving q Success
Cultural Methods Must Be Stud
led Carefully.

The question of wheat growing
must ever remain large one in Amer
lean agriculture. There are many To-
calities where other crops can be
grown more profitably 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
1t always has a value
that may be determined by little fig
uring. 1t can always be disposed OF
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. 1t is certain
ly money maker. When we consider
that wheat was grown-much OF 1t
on low-priced land, we can see what 1t
means to the farmers there. A man
has perhaps purchased land at hve
dollars per acre. He has failed with
most crops on that land. But now
comes crop that in a 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.

Convenient Bu.hel cr.t..

A bushel contains 2,548 cubic inches
and can be made by constructing box
or crate whose inside dimensions are
14x14x13 inches. Such crates certain
a bushel when level full. For the end
pieces select one-inch pine boards, 10
inches wide, and saw them in finch
lengths, cut hand holes parallel with
the grain of the wood near one edge.
This may be done with an anger, the
roughness being cut down with a
chisel. Next, saw good, strong, four
foot lath into 16-incb lengths. Nail six
OF these to the end pieces to form the
bottom and five to form each of the
sides. These crates are Inexpensive,
durable and easily made.-National

Herman must have known that
when Janet wrote like that there was
no appeal, and he made none, but got

As for Janet, she was in the dark

and extra thin approximations are
far the best for the production of
comb, which will compare in quality
and lightness with natural comb. It
seems certain that heavy foundations
result in combs heavier than the
natural comb and that the increased
weight is due to thicker midribs and
thicker cell walls, but more to the
latter than to the former. Where the
cell walls are very high they were not
thinned down in the process of comb
building.
Experiments we're tried with a
number of methods of using founda-
lions in sections. The different meth
DDS of attaching starters are shown
in the figure, a to 6. No appreciable
difference was noted in comb pro-
duced by using starters in the way
shown in a, and d. The chief adj
vantage of using long narrow piece,
as seen at e, was that it had tend
ency to induce the building of work
er comb throughout. 1t had, how
ever, the advantage that its large size
ana SnOrC lluc VI dUtdCA"CAo AOA-
dered it easy to be torn loose.
Perhaps the best results were OBJ
tanned by the use of long narrow
piece at the top of the section, as
shown at t. The use of small pieces
of foundations in the lower corners,
as shown at C, gave no beneficial re-
suits. The use of short strips in the
middle of the bottom of the section,
as shown at b, resulted in the some
what firmer attachment of the combs.
Comb built upon foundation is al
ways tougher and more waxy than
natural comb, and the bases of the
cells are darker in color.
Since a thick comb has but one
midrib, and the walls of the cells are
heaviest nearest the midrib, it is evil
dent that thick comb will contain
relatively less wax and more honey
than thin comb. In order to secure
comb honey, therefore, with the least
possible amount of wax. it is neces-
sary to have it built in sections that
will permit the greatest thickness of
comb

The industry is becoming widely DIFF

Either the beet-sugar industry win be

Cuba and Hawaii or other tropical re-

Best Medicine for Children,

Happiness is the best medicine for
children, says the Ledger Monthly.
Try to make your little ones happy;
impose no burdens on them; see that
they have opportunity for active,
outdoor sports; play with them your
self; tell them stories; take them to
see some of the wonderful sights of
the city-and almost anything is
wonderful and full of interest to
children; give them a plenty of plain,
simple, well-cooked food; put them
to bed early; let them sleep till they
wake up, and dress them with an eve
single to their comfort, and you will
probabl have little occasion for doc
tors stuff

PRODUCING Poultry Breed..

Any farmer may make new breed
if he has the patience to select care
fully of the best, note their character
istics, discard all undesirable speci-
mems and work on until his object is
accomplished. 1t is, however, always
in order for him to select his next
years stock from the best of those he
has. The farmer of the present day
has great advantage in having the
pure breeds ready established as a
foundation upon which he can improve
or build something better, hence his
labors will be easy and light compared
with the difficulties in the way of the
pioneer breeders who produced the
breeds we are familiar with at the
present day.-Farm and Firesids.

CLOVER FOR POULTRY.
the Year This Crop Certainly
Has No Equal,

Experience has demonstrated the
value of clover for egg producing time
and again. Glover has just the mate
| rial in it to form egg shell, and hence
it becomes an essential part Of every
ration fed to the chickens. It may not
be generally understood that there are
nearly 30 pounds of lime contained in
each thousand pounds of clover. The
chickens fed daily with clover will
consequently prove better egg layers
than those denied it. The clover hay
! should be given to chickens in winter
in quantities sufficient to satisfy them,
and to make them eat more it is desir-
able sometimes to prepare it in various
ways. Cook and chop it up and mix it
with meal or other articles. This will
sometimes induce the hens to consume
a great amount of clover each day. Cut
up into short lengths and mixed with
warm mash, and then fed only as fast
as the chickens will clean it up each
day, is probably the most economical
way to feed the clover. Some cut the
second crop of clover and place it in the
poultry yard for the chickens to eat
and scratch over at pleasure. This of
itself is all right, but it is rather waste
full. More than half the clover will be
lost, and the chickens do not actually
eat much more than the leaves. The
stalks contain most of the lime, and
these should be prepared so the chick
ems will consume them. OF all foods
that can be raised on farm for poul-
try, clover is not only the best, but
probably the cheapest, and field Of it
is as essential to success as pasture
field is necessary to the success of
dairying.-Annie C. Webster, in Massa-
chusetts Plowman.
A Unique Egg Producer.
Something more likely to meet a
hens taste than "red albumen" is de-
scribed in Chicago letter. What was
a scourge in Nebraska has now become
of value in commercial way. A ma
chine was invented to kill grasshop-
pers called the "hopperdozer." Itdoes
the work all right, but heretofore the
grasshoppers have been wasted. Now
the killed grasshoppers are left in
wind rows in the field, where they are
dried after an exposure to the sun and
reduced to powder, after which they
are pressed and converted into solid
bricks. These bricks are shipped to
poultry raisers, who find it good food
for hens, as it is great encourager of
egg production. 1t is not necessary to
grind these bricks, but merely to break
them into pieces and soften with wa
ter. The hens like them exceedingly
we'll and thrive on the diet.

Challenge from Santa Fe Indians
Turned Down for New Years Game.

S'fahiNlS1 IOlh SallN ~
Turned Down for New Years Game.
w. J. oliver, manager Of the Albu-
querque Indian foot ball team, received
the following telegram from Superin-
tendent Crandall, of the government
Indian school at Santa Fee:
Our foot ball team is anxious to set
tie the championship. Will meet your
team in your field on New Years day
II notified"
The Santa Fe New Mexican states
that if the albuquerque team refuses
to play, the Santa Fe team will claim
the championship.
Mr.. Oliver stated to The Citizen to.
day that the message was received at
too late a date for them to make prep
aration for a New Years game.
Furthermore they would not give
Santa Fe the championship on a re-
fusal, but would undoubtedly play the
Santa Fe Indians at an early date, no
LITIGATION being given in time for both
teams to prepare for the contest.
The Santa Fe team seems confident
or victory If they meet Albuquerque's
fast Indian players again. But when
the fact is brought to view that some
of the Albuquerque Indian players,
who were in the game at Santa Fe on
Christmas day, had one or little prac-
tice, it can be readily seer why Albu-
qnerque did not play the aggressive
game they are supposed to play. Then
Albuquerque played in hard luck. Two
OF their best men being disabled and
taken out of the game.
The coming contest for the cham
pionship of New Mexico will no doubt
be the best foot ball game ever played
in the territoy. Both teams and schools
are greatly interested in this coming
event, which from the present senti-
ments will take place soon.
