Macaroni Wheat.

Clipping from a special by MA. |
Carleton, cerealist U. s. DEPUTY |
OF Agriculture, delivered ut the
tri State Grain Growers, conven-
tion at Fargo, n. d. Jan. 20
1904, and published in the Oak
ota Farmer.
Best varities: 1t Is now pretty
generally cencede that for the f,
northwest the variety, kubanka
is the best of Ill that has been
80 far grown. What is common
~ known over a large part Of
North Dakota as Arnautka was
probably the same as kubanka.
1t is found already that this va
riety generally yields much bet
ter than other kinds and usually
produces u better quality of
grain.
Six or eight very different va
rieties are now already in general
cultivation and it is of much
Importance to discriminate he-
tween these kinds.
Purity OF seed; l now come to
what is probably the most i'm
portant matter OF all, I refer to
the care that is necessary to pre-
vent other wheat and other
grain from becoming mixed with
this wheat.
Purity of the grain is prime
essential to the consumer.
Grow the grain only where
adapted. The Department Of
Agriculture has already empha-
! sized the fact that the grain is
to semi-arid districts-not only
this but it can only be grown
successfully in these districts
The quantity and quality de-
creases as the amount Ofrainfall
increases, and within certain
limits, increases as the amount
OF rainfall decreases.
Within forty or fifty miles west
Of the Red River the macaronii
wheat should probably not be
grown at, all, as q general rule,
as it's cultivation will not be fol-
lowed with the surest success.
The effort should be to push
the wheat gradually westward
You will be surprised to see how
far west it will grow, thriving:
with Il smaller amount of rain
fall than we ever suppose.
Relations to other wheat:
Macaroni wheat bears no rela-
ton to other wheat whatever in
price. If the hard ane northern
wheat should increase greatly in
price there is 70 more reason
why macaroni wheat should in
crease at the same time than
barley should increase then
in price correspondingly.
! The macaroni wheat is used
largely for different purposes.

exported goes to different points
for consumption.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-06-06

A peculiar case has been instituted in the courts of western New York. A man has sued woman for $2,OOO dam ages, alleging that she hugged him so hard she broke his rib. It was in photographic dark room that the stren- uous hugging occurred, says New New York exchange. A red light was being used for the development of negatives. Whether the carmine glow was responsible for the rib breaking embrace is not stated. At any rate, something in the combination pro- duced such violent tenderness in the mind of the lady that nothing but squeezing would relieve her pent-up emotions, and the poor man had to suf- fer the consequences. AS a result, like Adam, he lost a rib; also, like Adam, he laid the blame on the woman. Most men would be willing to undergo al- most anything but broken neck for q hug like that. What is mere rib compared to such genuine burst of affection? And in red light, too! A
 man who would make complaint under such circumstances is not a worthy representative of his sex. A jury that would assess damages in this case de- serves to go hugless all its days. Such athletic and enthusiastic affection de- serves to be rewarded, not punished.

CONFEDERATE GRAVES.
First Formal Services Held over
 Southern Soldiers at Arlington.

First Formal Services Held Over
 Southern Soldiers at Arlington.
 WASHINGTON, June 6. In the presence of thousands of ex-Confeder- ate and ex-Union soldiers and of num- bers of officers of the United States army and the G. A. R. the first formal memorial exercises ever held over the graves in the Confederate section of Arlington cemetery were held here. As the result of movement initiated by the late President Mckinley the Confederate dead now have been gath cred in one large and beautiful circle in the southern part of the cemetery, where the graves have been marked with separate stones.
 When the vast crowd had gathered to hold the memorial services over the graves of the Confederate dead the ex- ercises were opened with music by the Fifteenth cavalry band. In a spirit of good will and fraternity after the ex- ercises over the graves of the Confed- crate dead those in charge of the serv- ices repeated them over the grave of the 2,000 unknown Union soldier dead at Arlington and decorated the grave with flowers.
 The Rev. Alexander w. Pitzer, pas tor of the Southern Presbyterian church in this city and an ex~Confed- crate soldier, was the orator of the day. He referred to the fact that the government of the United States through representatives of its army was participating in the exercises and tbat the government of the United States had collected the remains of the Confederate soldiers and had erected suitable stones to mark their graves He asked the ex-Confederates present if they should not recognize that as true magnaninity. He feelingly re- fcrred to the interest Mir. Mckinley while a member of congress had taken in the proper care by the government of the graves of the Confederate dead and how the establishment of Con- federate section in Arlington was q fulflllment of MT. McKinleys cher ished hope.
 The exercises were brought to close by the Rev. pr. Prettyman, who prayed fervently for the living repre- sentatives of those who fell on both sides and for the coming of universal peace and good will which the ceremo- nies of the day foreshadowed.

Comptroller Edward M. Grout Of New York was recently puzzled by a treasury warrant which read, For nursing bottles, $154, board of educa- tion." Inasmuch as it was decided not long since that the schoolma' 'ams of New York may marry, it looked de- cidedly as though large number of them had taken advantage of the pro vision and were stocking up at public expense for possible contingencies. It developed, however, that the item was a mistake as the bill was for only one nursing bottle and lot of other labor atory apparatus. After this discovery was made the worried look left the comptroller ss brow.

WHISKY EXPLODED.
Corning Distillery at Peoria
 Is Tn Complete Ruin.
TEN EMPLOYEES BURNED TO DEATH
Fire Followed the First Disasfer-NO Time to Get Out-ThOusands of Steers, Chained Fast, Were
 Roasted Alive.

PEORIA, H., June GA terrific ex- plosion which occurred in the eleven story warehouse of the Corning dis tillery here, the second largest in the world, has completely wrecked the building.
 The ruins immediately took fire and communicated to three adjoining build Ings, burning them to the ground. Four ruins and burned to death, and six oth- CTS were seriously injured. The loss on buildings and whisky and spirits stored will approximate $1,O00,0O0.
 The fire spread to the stoclSyards dis trict, where a dozen large cattle barns filled with cattle for market were burned.
 The cause of the explosion cannot yet be determined.
 The widest excitement prevailed aft CT the explosion The immense plant was surrounded by thousands of peo- pie, who, however, were unable to get close to the structure on account of the intense heat.
 The warehouse, containing in the neighborhood of 3O,O0O barrels of whis- ky, was instantaneously a seething caldron, and 1t was seen that no one inside the big structure could escape.
 The warehouse in crushing the small CT structure near by set that on fire, the whisky from the bursting bar rels flooding everything in that sec ton. Large streams ran down to- ward the river, and in a short time there was foot of whisky in the cat tie pens east of the warehouse, where 3200 steers were chained fast.
 Their distress lasted but few mo- ments, however, for they were soon roasted to death or suffocated They were the property of Dodd & Kiefer of Chicago. 1t is impossible to compute their loss, but it will amount to thou sands of dollars.
 The two fermenting houses were speedily food for the flames. They were structures of good dimensions, and both of them were destroyed,
 The tiremen got near the fire with difficulty, and the water had little or no effect A high wind was blowing and flaming the flames in the direction of the Monarch distillery, and for a time it was feared that the fire would sweep along the entire river bank. However, the heroic work of the fire men began to tell, and at T o'clock the flames were under control.

Somehow the subject of eating

Somehow the subject of eating con- tinues to bob up. We cannot get rid of 1t. Each day brings its new theor- les, some of them light and digestible, some quite otherwise. One food spe- cialist advises to eat less, another to taboo meat, still another to eat our food raw; a fourth would have us use the mind in eating; fifth would devour only cereals, a sixth only fruit; a seventh says that optimism is the key to good digestion, while an eighth proclaims that mastication is the se- cret. So 1t goes. Everybody is ex- perimenting on diet. At any. rate, those that are experimenting make so much noise about 1t that you imagine practically all are advising you totake it up also They offer this advice in sort of superior way, as though they regard people who have not reached their dietary plane as the benighted beings who are entitled to & certain lofty compassion. First comes Chi cago doctor who advises eating with the mind. This is on the supposition that everybody has mind. Yet many of the healthiest people on earth cannot follow this injunction for the simple reason that they lack the necessary mental tools. Some of the Chicago savant's advice, however, hits the spot flor example, "Eat slowly, masticate wei, feel happy, be optfsmic, think of nothing except your food" If that is what he means by eating with the mind, large and husky Zulu or q contented porker could very we'll fol- low 1t, and neither of these animals, we believe. is troubled with indiges- ton.
