ABOUT A NEW CEREAL.
Result OF An Investigation by the AoricnItu-
raj Department.

raj Department.
Much has been printed lately
regarding a new cereal which
has been called "corn-wheat."
the inference being that it is a
hybrid of corn and wheat, and
western farmers have become in
terested in it.
The Department of Agriculture
has investigated the matter and
has identihed the cereal, the re-
suit of the investigation being
embodied in the following:
For some time farmers in our
prairie States have been deeply
interested in the report that
new cereal, known as corn
wheat" has been discovered.
According to the exaggerated
statements that have been cur
rent in the West, the kernels of
the new grain are about midway
in size between wheat and maize,
and the proportion of crop to
seed is far greater than in the
case of wheat. Just how much
foundation there is for the story
has not been made known by the
Department of Agriculture Not
only is there no such tting as
"corn-wheat," but in the opinion
of the Departments experts, no
hybrid of corn and wheat could
be produced, or, at any rate. no
hybrid that would be fertile.
The true name of the cereal that
has become incorrectly designa-
ted, is Polish wheat" so called
because it is largely grown on
the Polish steppes. though it is
not native there, its original
home being believed to be in the
Mediterranean region. AS re-
CARDS the size of the kernels of
this grain, there is no doubt that
while much smaller than the ker-
nels of maize, they are often
twice as large as those of ordi-
nary wheat. The assertion chat
the normal yield of this grain is
from sixty to one hundred bush
els to the acre, is pronounced ex-
aggerated, though the Depart
ment does not discredit the re-
ports from Idaho and Washing
ton that in those States from
sixty to seventy-fve bushels per
acre have at times been garner
ed. 1t seems that Polish wheat
is restricted as regards adapta-
bility to soil and climate. So far
as the United States is concerned
the Department of Agriculture
thinks that the new cereal could
only be grown successfully in the
region of the great plains and in
the territory ON the western side
of the Rocky Mountains. 1t
should be boon to eastern Kan
sas, and to all sections where ar
tifcial irrigation has been ac-
counted condition of fertility,
because characteristic of Polish
wheat is its exceptional power
of resistance to drought.

Two eggs day from one hen
tor thirty-four days is the tale
told by Charles Helmke, owner
of Lonataka Poultry Farm at
Green Village, N. ]. The hen is
simply the result of Careful breed
ing, for Mr.. Helmke has been ex-
perimenting with this end in
view for several years.
1t has long been the theory of
his that by proper selection and
breeding a hen might be pro-
duced that would lay at least
one egg every day in the year.
He has also theorized on the pos
sibility of breed of hens which
would produce two eggs every
day.
On March 1st one of the spec
ial hens became sick and he put
her in a coop by herself The fol
lowing day he was astonished to
find that she had laid two eggs,
one at 9 A. NJ. and the other at 4
p. M. She has kept this up ever
since. ?
Mr. Helmke has made three
settings of the eggs. 1t is his be-
lief that he has the greatest hen
for commercial purposes in the
world.

DIR. M. ]. Gahan, of Omaha,
Neb., has completed tests and
announces that as a result of
his experiments he is able to pro-
duce an artificial anthracite
equal in all respects to the real
article, and that the product he
has invented can be manufac-
tured and put upon the market
much cheaper than anthracite OF
even bituminous Goals. D.. Ga
han has completed the manufac-
ture of 500 pounds of his coal
substitute. The "coal" is OF a
gray greenish hue, not unlike
moldy bread in appearance. The
article is produced from chemi-
Gals, all of which, but one, the
inventor says can be found in any
agricultural State. The artific-
ial coal burns with a blush
flame and its heating capacity is
said to be twice that of anthra-
cite and will last twenty per
cent. longer time. DR., Gahan is
now working to produce a fuel
similar to bituminous coal.
