1t is pitiful to read Of the injury sus-
tanned by the great wheat crop of the
northwest section this year, magnifi-
cent oceans of wheat, promising TWEEN
ty-five bushels an acre, in three days
smitten with a rust which silently fell
on them as did the plaques in the
time of Pharaoh, and the life taken
out of the splendid crop. 1t is not
alone the unfortunate wheat grower
who suffers, but every man who eats
bread.

With something less than a hundred
different kinds of cereal breakfast
food to be had, the dish of oatmeal
would be much more oatmeal eaten did
cooks know how to cook it. Boiled for
ten minutes, it is an abomination;
cooked slowly for six hours, it is
delicaey.

A scientific friend of ours claims that
grain fields-wheat and oats-are less
liable to be smitten with rust where
the prairie winds have a free sweep
over them than they are where pro-
tected from the winds by belts of tim
Der. The rust, which has almost ruin
ed the wheat crop of the Dakotas this
year, would seem to have done its work
in spite of the winds

What is a correct stand of corn de-
ponds somewhat upon the available
plant food IN the soil and the amount
of moisture the plant may command
during the growing season. If the soil
be thin and poor two stalks in hill
will be better stand than three, and
if the rainfall be shy one stalk will be
better than two. Three and four stalks
in a hill may do where the soil is rich
and moisture unfailing, but mean only
fodder under the first named condi-
tons

A dairyman friend has tried this plan
with his cows during the dry and heat
ed term of August and early Septem-
Der: He brings his COWS in from the
pasture at 10 O'Clock, puts them in the
basement barn and darkens it and then
gives them what silage they will eat,
varying this with feed of sweet corn.
The cows are turned out again toward
evening. His milk check keeps a June
pace.

Hereditary instinct is nowhere more
noticeable than with dogs. While hav-
ing a common origin, training and en-
vironment have developed the hound
with the keen scent, the pointer and
setter which point their game, the
collie which instinctively takes to the
herding and care of stock, the retriev-
er, the greyhound, the spaniel, the
huskie of the arctics and score Of
other types, the puppies of each breed
naturally taking to the special work
and service for which their ancestors
had been trained

A Wisconsin nabob sought to mo-
nopolize a trout stream which passed
through his estate. Fishing was fine,
trout gaIny and large. A row fol
lowed when he pulled some poachers,
and at the end the supreme court held
that he could not deprive the public of
fishing rights along the stream which
passed through his land. Some of
these fellows would shut us off from
air and sunshine if they could. An
cient baronial rights were knocked in
the head in this country a hundred
years ago.

In 4 dairy line a very unique thing

If the fertilization of the soil is the
main thing sought, try mammoth
clover, blowing the whole thing under

method of renovating q wornout field

gate as good fruit as the Wealthy
apple is far better deserving of some

Of wind who make laws.
If there was more good buttermilk
drunk there would be fewer doctors
bills and a smaller demand for patert
medicines. The buttermilk of the farm
dairy should never be fed to the pigs
and calves until every drop possible
has been got into the folks in the fam
lily.
We once knew an old parson whose
