AZ to Wheat Growins


There seems to be general opinion
that wheat production has greatly
fallen OF In sections located outside
the great wheat belts, and while this
Is so in some States, and particularly
SO with some individuals, statistics
show that the falling OF is not so
great as is generally supposed. On the
other hand, there are individual farm
ers who are good wheat raisers who
have given up their farms almost en-
tirely to other crops, simply beca use
they do not feel able to compete with
the great wheat sections Of the West
It is doubtful II this Is good policy,
for while the farm may frequently be
used to better advantage. there is
always a market In any section for
crop of good wheat, and always use
for a small crop on the farm. Then,
too, wheat is one of the best Of crops
to use In rotation, having a value to
the soil In this respect SO great that
1t would pay to grow 1t even II the
sale was comparatively limited. II
it could not be sold at fair price it
has considerable feeding value, par
ticularly where poultry is kept. Do
not cut out the wheat entirely until
you have Investigated Its value on
your farm.

The Copper Key, situated about
three-fourths of mile south of the

vorable features are the continuance

Floor for Horse Stall.
The average horse stall is disgrace
to the owner and, usually, the worse
part about 1t is the floor. One OF the
best floors known, that may be made
at small expense, is constructed as fol-
lows: The foundation is Of small
stones with a cement coating ON top;
a good cement floor, in other words. SO
laid that there is a fall Of about one
inch to the foot from the manger to
the rear. Then a slat floor Is made or

two inches wide.
These strips are cut the required
length, are set on edge about One-half
inch apart and cleats nailed across at
intervals Of foot. Holes are bored
In these cleats 80 that the liquid excre-
ment which passes between the Stats
may pass over the cement floor to the
rear. Two by. four strips are put in
at intervals to keep the Slated floor
from being springy. Every few days
this Slated door is taken up and the
cement floor underneath cleaned, 30
that in this way the horse always has
dry bed.
A gutter should be provided for

FILIPINO Is AN ODD TYPE.

Chicago Record Herald. He is pas.
sionately attached to his home, and
cannot be induced to emigrate or leave
it, no matter how humble it is, yet he
does nothing to improve or beautify 1t,
or keep it in order or add to the com.
forts and conveniences Of living. He
has no taste for decoration like the
Japanese and Chinese. Any kind Of
a cabin Of palms with leaky roof and
an earthen floor is good enough for
him. He asks no more than a pig or
goat or dog, is content with a
place to lie down and sleep, and it ia
difficult to drive him away from the
corner in which he Is in the habit of
lying.
He Is devoted to his wife and his
family, but will do nothing to improve
their condition, make no provision for
their future and wastes his wages at
the gambling table when they are in

the parents, particularly the fathers,

The Filipino is fanatic in his love

live in peonage. He has hysterical
emotion that he calls patriotism. 1t Is
not what we consider a love Of coun.

He is naturally dishonest, yet he

He will swindle and pilfer from his
employers, yet he will defend their

MYSTERY IN MANY DEATHS.
Impure Liquor Cause Of Mortality
Near New York.

Near New YORK.
Fifteen deaths within eight days in
the neighborhood of Strikers farms, on
the West Side, New York City, has
started an investigation by the police
and the coroner. Coroner Scholl says
the deaths were caused by impure
liquor. All the victims knew one an
other, and a curious circumstance is
that the men had attended their
friends funerals until all were dead.
Four funerals were held in one house
and two each in three otner houses.
All were reported to the coroner as
sudden deaths.
