The Mythical Corn Wheat.

The Department Of Agriculture at
washington reports that an enormous
number Of letters are being received,
from farmers in all parts Of the coun-
try, asking for definite information
concerning sO-called new grain des-
ignated as corn wheat" Samples for
trial are asked by most Of these in
quirers. The department says that
these letters are obviously the result
Of widely published untruthful news
paper articles. The department au-
thorizes the statement that there is no
such thing as corn wheat" and that
1t Is not probable corn and wheat can
ever be crossed, and that 1t is a cer-
tainty, If they were, that the hybrid
would not be fertile. The grain which
has caused the furor, the department
says, is known correctly as Polish
wheat, although the grain is not a ma
tive of Poland, as the name suggests.
Its original home is in the Mediterran-
can region. The heads and grains of
this wheat are very large, the grains
being, In many cases, twice as large as
those OF ordinary wheat. The state
ment that 1t yields from sixty to 100
bushels per acre, however, is an ex-
aggeration, although there may be in
stances in Idaho and Washington,
where the ordinary wheat yield is
large, where the crop may be sixty or
seventy bushels per acre.
The experiments made by the de-
partment with the Polish wheat have
generally shown that the yield is dis
appointing. The new wheat has been
grown. except experimentally, in but
few places in this country. From the
experiments so far made the inference
is that the grain may be very good as
hog food. But Polish wheat is much
restricted in It's adaptability, and, the
department says, cannot be successful
ly grown anywhere east Of the Missis-
sippi River but only in the great
plains region in Washington, Montana,
Idaho and the other parts Of the Pa
cific States where the grain is grown.

Fnrn Notes.

For good grating wax take four
pounds rosin, one pound beeswax, one
pint linseed oil. Put into an iron ket-
tie and heat slowly, stirring thorough
ly until all is well mixed. Pour the
whole mass into cold water and pull
by hand until 1t assumes a light golden
color. Make into sticks and put in a
cool place until required for use.
Grating wax never comes amiss, and
1t always pays to keep 1t on hand. In
case Of injury TO a tree at any time 1t
Is valuable.

COOL HEAD is ESSENTIAL.
Trainers of Wild Animals Must Be
Ever on the Alert for Surprises.

Wildcats, tigers, jaguars, panthers,
and leOpards offer the greatest menace
to their trainers. These are the ami
mails that appear to long most ardently
stalk their prey and utter their night
cries in their native haunts. Almost
lncessantly they swing back and forth
behind the bars peerlng over the heads
Of the spectators with wild eyes that
seem to be trying to discern the for
est beyond the confines of their prison
house. Besides their restlessness, a
reason why the big beasts Of the cat
family are considered more dangerous
than the others Is found in their de-
ceptlve methods of attack. Lions and
bears meet their enemies boldly, but
tiger or a leopard-particularly the
iatter-creeps up stealthily, crouches,
draws back when faced and then,
when the victims guard Is relaxed,
gives mighty leap. Kind treatment
mas but slight effert upon the crea-
ures OF the forests. Their deep feel
ing OF protest against a life that is
most unnatural to them cannot be
oanlshed by Jumps of sugar and friend
ly pats.
The process Of subjection Is, of
course, very gradual one. A train

proaches. Finally when the animal

vi irrltate his host. For an hour or
more at time he may sit in the cage,

Sore Shoulders for Work Horses.


The heavy work season of the farm
nearly always occasions CALLED or sore
shoulders Of work horses. Here Is a
simple and cheap way to prevent this:
"Take an ordinary sweat pad and
cover the surface next to the shoulder
with white soft oilcloth. Be very care
full to have 1t put on very smooth,
without any wrinkles or Jumps on its
surface. The cover Is put on by neat
ly sewing 1t with strong thread, so that
1t will not become displaced. The
trouble with the horses shoulders in
this respect is caused by sweating, and
as the ollcloth presents a cool, dry sur
face and does not hold the dampness
as leather or cloth does, 1t prevents the
shoulders from becoming sore in al
most every instance" - Indiana
Farmer.

Of onions for profit is the Southport
Globe, illustrated herewith. The i'm
proved strain Of globe onions was
given the name Southport, and both
the white and yellow sorts are SUI
perior to the old globe varieties. The
red Southport does well in many sec
tions, but Is not so reliable as the red
Weatherfield. Both the white and
yellow Southports are Of good size,
most attractive in appearance and are
excellent keepers. Both are also late
sorts and heavy yielders. The South
port Globes are well worthy Of atten-
ton on the part of onion-growers.

We will set up the DeLaval at the
residence Of any farmer who intends to
buy cream separator, to be tried beside
any or all other makes, under the follow.
ing conditions:
l. Machines are to be run according
to the instruction manual sent with each
machine
2 Separators to be run at advertised
speed and capacities.
3 Cream to test not less than 80 per-
cent
4. Enough milk to be furnished by
the representatives of the separators to
run each machine one half houreach run.
8. No hot water or hot skim milk to
be run through either separator before.
during, or after the run Of each machine.
8. A composite test to be made Of all
the skim milk, including wasiiiing OF
bowls in the skim milk.
Z. Each machine &c be stopped once
during each run and restarted without
removing the bowl or washing it. This
to demonstrate simplicity of operation.
First test. One-half hours run with
milk at 50 degrees, representing summer
conditions. Bowl to be flushed with
one quart OF skim milk.
Second test. One half hours run with
milk at 60 degrees, representing winter
conditions. Bowl TO be flushed with
two quarts of skim milk.
Judge. Samples of the skim milk and

No Bluff I'm This.
The survival OF the Fittest.

Whenever you hear or read of anyone
shouting that "Our money talks" or Eve
will bet $4,000 that we have the best
so-and so on the market" you put that
man down at once as having an inferior
article that he has TO press onto the
people under the shadow Of some fash
ing sum Of money. And your decision
is warranted one
Such an article appeared recently from
the Sharples Cream Separator agents
who appear TO be very proud that $4,000
has been turned over to them to deposit
and talk about as being up as wager
that they have a better machine, and
then have the Earrowness of mind to say
that anyone who will not resort to such
methods to defend his goods publishes
to the world that he knows such goods
to be inferior.
Good goods need no such introduction.
Honest methods need no wagers to insure
fairness. A wager in such a contest
proves nothing, and only places pre-
MUM on deceit, bribery, unfairness and
fraud.
The article abc.e referred to savors of
gambling and lawlessness from headlines
to signature, and every honest living
man and woman despises such methods.
We are willing TO, and will, contest
any or all cream separators in the dairy
of an intending buyer, there to be but
one Judge and he shall be the intending
buyer. II he has brains enough to run
separator he has brains enough to Judge
of what he wants to buy, and does not
want three or more judges who have no
interest in him, to dictate how he Rhail
spend his money.
We gave the Sharples people ore con-
test and beat them fairly and squarely.
We are not running newspaper and do
not care TO buy one. We are placing
DeLayal machines constantly and il they
want another contest they can have
dozens OF opportunities to place their
machine beside the DeLaval in the dairy
of as many intending buyers.
To defray the expenses OF such con-
test we have placed $4,000 in the Farm
ers IL Merchants Bank of Webster, IS. d.,
should they or anyone else see fit to
meet US. We ask no reward If We win,
for it shows the "pork" at once. III we
lose we wsa buy the winning machine
and make the farmer a present OK il. Ii
we win we ask the SAGE thing Of the
the loser, !. e.,--buy our machine and
make the farmer a present Of it. The
money Of the winner TO be returned to
d
