dent rage. At distance in the field
she saw the bull paving beside her
husband and trying to drive the stumps
of it's horns into his chest. There was
no help within hail. Her children,
who witnessed the battle, crying and
screaming, were too small to be of any
assistance.
She sent them to the nearest neigh
bor's and, seizing pitchforlk, ran to
the bull. She attacked him in the
flank, driving the prongs of the fork
fully four inches into his flesh. Still
he continued to grind his victim with
the broken horn. Mrs. Puller grew
desperate. She walked around to the
animals head and with strength born
of desperation she again and again
drove the sharp tines into the bulls
hide, the prongs sinking from four to-
five inches at nearly every drive
Finally the maddened bull drew off and
stood at bay. Mrs. PulIer sprang in
front of her husband, who lay limp
and still.
Nerved for the contest, she stood
there and, with her weapon poised,
checked the rushes and vicious attacks
of the bull until assistance came half
an hour later. AS the bull circled
around her looking Tor chance to
rush in, she, too, walked about her hus-
band, ever keeping his body behind her
and her face and weapon to the bull
She was standing thus when the men
summoned by her children arrived and
drove the bull away.

The wheat belt is movable region,

Growing states. ,.oa g.
ricultural ~ mineral products. New
York has been noted for many years
for its supremacy in hay and salt,
Pennsylvania for coal and iron, Ohio
for wool, Illinois for oats, Kentucky
for tobacco, and so on, but the area
of wheat production, which formerly
included western New York and the
states of the middle west, has shifted
and changed from time to time, some
times extending north and at other
times south. Twenty years ago New
York produced twice as many BUSH
els of wheat as it does to-day. The
average crop in Michigan has fallen off
more than one-half and of Wisconsin
nearly as much, but in the same period
Nebraska has doubled, Minnesota has
increased third and Kansas has
quadrupled its wheat supply Penn
sylvania and Tennessee are two states
which have remained stationary in
their wheat product. Alabama, which
was n considerable wheat-producing
state 90 years ago, has ceased to be
one, but the product in Texas has in
creased enormously during that time.
Virginia has increased; West Virginia
has fallen off Oregon has increased;
California has declined. Illinois and
Indiana, formerly two of the chief
wheat-producing states of the coun-
try, have ceased to be such, the crop
in Illinois in 1900 being less than one
third of what it was in 1880, and that
of Indiana less than one-seventh of
what it was in that year. Kentucky
has increased; Iowa has fallen behind
the figures of those years in which it
was one of the chief wheat-producing
states. Washington has increased
very largely, and North Carolina
somewhat. There does not appear to
be any rule by which the product of
wheat in any group of American states
may be gauged by standard of soil
or climatic conditions. Forecasters of
wheat crops give no reasons for the
changes noted.
