AT THE GERMAN NJ. E. CHURCH

Last Sunday was Children's Day at
the German Nj. E. church. Owing to
the inclement weather the attendance
was somewhat light. However, the
program which had been well prepared
was carried through after Sunday
school, instead of regular preaching
service. 1t was delight to listen to
the program which was we'll rendered
botq IN song and speaking. Especially
was the singing of the little folks, who
were beautifully attlred for the occa
sion, enjoyed
The church was handsomely decorat-
ed with plants and flowers and all who
helped in any way are to be congratu-
lated upon the success of the occasion.
At the close of the program a collection
was taken for the benefit of the educa-
tional workers in the church.

ABOUT MAcARoNI WHEAT.

3. the United States.

Our consuls in all the European
countries where macaroni is manufac-
.tured have been asked by the depart
ment Of commerce and labor to inquire
into the prospect Of marketing this
variety Of our wheat crop in Europe.
Macaroni wheat is rapidly increas-
ing crop in the United States. Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson said few
weeks ago that, according to all esu-
mates, this years crop is 10. 000. 900 BUSH
els, against 1000, 900 bushels year ago,
Macaroni wheat has cut so small fig
ure in our enormous wheat production
that probably most Of our people do not
know what It is. The maearoni varieties
are hard wheats. rich in gluten. which
are especially adapted for growth In
the semi-arid regions. like those in the
southwest Of our country and in parts
q the Russian empire.
The pasty gluten they contain par
ticularly fits them for the manufacture
I Of macAroni. vermicelli and other kinds
Of alimentary pastes which originated
In Italy and are now a constantly

Switzerland, the United States and
some other countries
The French output Of macaroni is
about 1900. 900 pounds year. A large
part Of the French imports Of wheat,
like that of other Mediterranean coun-
tries, is now derived from India, which
rields the -four that is best adapted for
making the tubular paste that in its
various forms is the favorite wheaton
food Of the Mediterranean states. The
only Italian wheat that is noted for it's
quality is that Of Apulia. in the south
east, where there is grown hard wheat
well adapted for making macaroni.
Our own macaroni output is still
small, and II our crop Of macarontwheat
continues to increase, as now seems
probable. we shall not be able to market
Ill Of It at home. As the macaroni max
ing countries Of Europe are compelled
to buy an important part Of their maca-
roni stock, It seems likely thct we shall
have no difdculty in selling our surplus

A mLP5uL SERVANT.


I have frequently spoken. oe farm
shops and gasoline engines Tor farmers
work. am just now running all my
poor apples through q homemade cider
mill. and the power is furnished by .
small gasoline engine. largely home
constructed-at, an expense Of about $50.
The power furnished is about two
horsepower. This engine will furnish
power to saw ordinary wood for stoves:
1t will grind grain and bones. and do
nearly all the jobs about the farm that
take q good deal Of time II done by hand
work. 1t is not large enough for silo
work. The engine is easily managed
by,a boy. and, In fact, furnishes an Inn
mense amount Of pleasure to alad who
has any taste for machinery. !. It adds
q zest to work. The idea that It il DIM
cult to run such an engine is q mistake.
My boys have arrange the igniting Of
the engine by an electrical spark. The
cost Of running is about one gallon Of
gasoline for ten hours for each horse
power. The cost Of running my engine
to cover wood saving, grinding and
cider making for the year has not ex-
ceeded five dollars. Not q small item
10 the readiness with which scythes can
be ground, hoes sharpened and all of the
farm tools kept In keen working order.
A large farm would require an engine
from four to six horsepower. possibly
an eight horsepower. No one ever sees
the little machine in operation without
expressing pleasure and surprise: It
has led to the setting up Of q good many
others. not only on farms, but in meat
shops, ice cream factories, etc. In fact.
the use Of the gasoline engine and its
general value can hardly be overestt-
mated. should say that it stood for
at least one hired man. and that in some
cases 1t would be equivalent to two or
three. When connected with a lathe, It
will accomplish q great deal Of mend
ing Of tools and other, repairs, which
would make the saving in single year
cover all the cost Of the engine. Case
line should be bought by the barrel and
stored at such distance from. buildings
that insurance will not be vitiated.
There are ways Of wasting a good deal
Of gasoline. and this a judicious farm
er will look out for. need not add that
q careless farmer has no business with
an engine, A man who let's his tools
take care Of themselves, who is careless
about oiling and reckless about running,
will soon get into some sort of expensive
trouble. It would probably be best to
have a separate building for your en-
CINE II pc ssible. This building need'be
very inexpensive, and little more than
she'd. My own engine is worked In the
