so-called Cor, wheat.

In sections of the West there is Re
ing grown a variety of wheat known
as Polish wheat. which has compare
lively little value except, perhaps, as
a food for stock. Public accounts of
this wheat have been so garbled that
farmers have a wrong impression of
it. As this wheat is grown in the
Northwest. it produces wonderfully,
and the kernels are much larger than
those OF the recognized varieties of
wheat. and when fed TO stock it is said
to have wonderful fattening results
That it has some merit there is little
doubt. for 1t has given fairly good re-
suits in the making of macaroni -four
although not so good as the results
from the true macaroni wheat 1t is
doubtful If it is safe to use it largely
in the fatteniug of stock. although it
is worthy of test In that way. Seeds
men in the North and West can doubt
less furnish seeds in small quantities,
and the reputation already acquired
makes it worth a test. In some sec
tons the variety is known as Emmer
and some seedsmen catalogue it under
that name.

3 Cents


Eight cents a pound is
what a young woman paid for
twelve pounds of flesh.
She was thin and weak and
paid one dollar for a bottle Of
SCOTS Emulsion, and by tax
ing regular doses had gained
twelve pounds in weight before
the bottle was finished.
Eight cents a pound is
cheap for such valuable ma
terial. Some pay more, some
less, some get nothing for
their money. You get your
moneys worth when you buy

She said that IN an intense undertonc,

Fertilixipe for Tomato crop..

Although the following information
Is based on the work of a grower of
tomatoes for canning factories almost
exclusively, 1t Is of val1e TO any one
who grows the medium and late sorts
for any market Muriate of potash
500 pounds. nitrate of soda 400 pounds.
bone tankage 700 pounds. and acid
phosphate 400 pounds. using of this
mixture 500 pounds an acre. go
pounds being used broadcast before
narrowing and 200 pounds in the hills.
This formula supplies the food needed
by the plants in addition to what is
naturally supposed TO be in the fairly
fertile soil, and should give as result
a large crop of tine tomatoes of good
color. Naturally. the result will de-
pend somewhat on the varieties used.
which for canning purposes should al
ways be such as will ripen all over and
be OF a deep red color. 1t Is always
safe to select varieties of this descrip-
ton for any market. as they are at
traetive TO the eye and generally of
good quality. The old favorite Para
gon probably comes as near to the
ideal variety as any, all things consid-
cred.

The difficulty of killing plant anu
tree lice with the usual spray mixtures
Is well known. Good results are re-
ported from the use of new mixture
containing one pound hard soap, one
quart castor oil. one-fourth pound car
Donate of soda, one gallon water. The
soap and acid were boiled in water
and mixed with the castor oil while
heated; the mixture was then diluted
with 10 to 20 per cent of water for
spraying In fighting tree lice, it is
important to apply the liquid used be-
fore the leaves begin to curl and en-
close the insects. For scale insects. n
mixture reported satisfactory is pre-
pared as follows: Ten quarts boiling
water. one quart carbolic acid. one
quart soft soap. The mixture is stir
red until an emulsion is formed and
is applied by means of brush.-Amer-

The extension of the good roads
movement has resulted in CORE
spending development of the engineer
ing operations involved and of the
machinery employed. Possibly the
most interesting of all the forms of
special apparatus which have been in
troduced for this work, says the Scien-
tific American, is the elevating grader
which is utilized in reducing cuts sew
eral feet in depth.
This machine elevates earth and
drops it into wagons alongside. loading
wagon in twenty seconds On an
average such a machine will load into
wagons In one day of ten working
hours from 700 to 800 yards of earth.
Another class of machine in which
great Improvement is noticeable is the
steam road roller. The principle of
which is to make the wheels. which
are absolutely necessary TO carry the
machine, act as the rollers proper.
Road rollers range in weight from five
to nineteen tons. ana on the larger
sizes the driving wheels are about sew
enry-six inches in diameter and have n
facial measurement of from twenty to
twenty six inches.
Rapid read building is still further
facilitated by the use of spreading
wagons. dump wagons, road plows.
road scrapers and other improved
forms of apparatus which are largely
automatic in their operation and which
contribute to an economy of time and
money

to be far more economical. A pound of
