Study in Wheat Culture

Mr.. A. D. Hall, of England, who has
experimental extensively in wheat Gull
ture. has come to the conclusion that a
great deal depends upon the time of
cutting. When green wheat begins to
swell the first thing that comes. into it
is albumen, and the last packing is al
most pure starch. If, therefore, it is
possible to shorten the ripening period
and prevent the starch element from
entering the grain, the grain must of
necessity be much stronger. Mr.. Hall
is inclined to the opinion that farmers
would do we'll to cut wheat while it is
yet in green state, as by so doing they
will get the grain richer in heterogeneous
elements and richer in gluten-a
stronger wheat in fact

Plenty Of Work Promised.

No man in the United States needs to
be without work during the coming sum-
mer if he is able bodied and willing to
labor. The harvest fields of Nebraska.
Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Ok
laLoma and South Dakota will need at
least 5000 hands. The Western Asso-
citation of Free Employment bureaus
gives out this information. The seven
states covered have grain area of 81
O97, 722 acres, and total grain produc-
ton of 692, 088, 444 bushels.

IN AN OLD TRUNK.
Baby Finds Bottle Of CarboEc Acid
and Drinks It.

While the mother was unpacking a.
old trunk little Is months old baby
got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor and his stom-
ach was so badly burned it was feared
he would not live for he could not eat
ordinary foods. The mother says in
telling of the case:
1t was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally took him
into the country and tried new milk
and that was no better for him. His
Grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts,
and l am thankful I adopted the food
for he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fleshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he is en-
tirely well.
81 took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and I would
have to explain how he came to call for
it as it was his main food.
"The names of the physicians who at
tended the baby are DR.. Eddy of this
town and DR.. Geo. Gale of Newport, O.,
and anyone can write to me or to them
and learn what Grape-Nuts food will do
for children and grown-ups too" Name

How to Handle Barb Wire.

Wire fence is the fence of the present
day, and likely to be for some years to
come. A farmer often wishes to move
a string of barb wire fence to some other
place. To do so is job that tries the
patience and cuts the hands. Let me tell
you how to handle it and have no more
trouble. Take the spool on which the
wire was originally rolled, run a good,
strong, smooth stick through it and
drive wedge in firmly at one end to keep
the spool from turning on stick; now fix
crank firmly to one end of your stick
and fasten one end of wire to the spool.
Two men take hold of the stick, the
right-hand man holding the stick with
his left hand, and turning the crank with
his right hand. Walk right along and
you will be surprised how easily and rap
idly you can take up wire: A little differ
ent form of spool and crank on each
end will take up woven wire the same
as barb.-Farm Journal.

Provide for Good Drainage.

The past two seasons have been wet
ones. A large amount of snow fell the
past winter. This spring the ground
will be thoroughly soaked. What the
summer weather will be is of course a
guess, but it is safe to provide for
thorough drainage, as this work will
result in better crops in either a wet
or dry season. If wet, the best of
thing and surface drainage will be nee
essary. Plans should be made early
The idea that thorough drainage is I'M
necessary has been pretty effectually
dissipated. If the season is very dry
the land will stand the drouth better
for having been we'll drained. For best
results any season. plan to drain your
farm as thoroughly as possible

WHAT FARMERS NEED MOST
Sensible, Practical Education, to Be
Continued Through Life by
Constant Study.

The farmers greatest need is educa-
ton. He should have as good educa-
ton as our public schools can give as
a foundation for the special knowledge
of the different branches of farming
which he pursues. The farmer needs
to read and study more than he does.
1t is not uncommon to hear farmers SO
discuss matters pertaining to their hus-
bandry that it is clearly evident that
they are uniformed about things which
they should understand III order to get
the best returns for money and labor
expended.
In the United States there is no ex-
cuse for farmers to be without cOnsid-
cradle knowledge of farming in its diff
ferent branches. Our federal govern
ment does a great amount of investiga-
ton, the result of which is given gratis
to every one. The different states have
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations, where Investigations and ex-
periments are constantly carried on,
and in different ways do those insti-
tutions seek to interest the farmers in
their work that they may learn the
truths which science has revealed. The
farmer must be able to see which crops
will, as rule, be most beneficial TO.
him to raise. He must understands
what different crops require in order to
yield the most, and he should know
how to so work his land that it grad
ually will come to be in the best con-
dition, and he needs to understand how
to maintain it so. The farmer also
needs to know how to feed and care
for his animals; know the value of the
different feeds he uses and their effects
on the different animals in the differ
ent stages of their lives. so as to get
the best returns for what he expends.
Knowing these things, 1t will not be
difficult to produce in abundance. There
need not be such thing as an aban-
doned farm because it is exhausted.
The farmer also needs to know how
to market his produce. Having &C.
quired the knowledge and worked dill
gently and produced in abundance, the
farmer still stands hopeless; he cannot
market his produce at any time, when
the markets happen to be the best the
roads are often impossible. One of the
greatest needs Of the farmer is good
roads. The loss to the nation from
having bad roads is incompatible.
Good roads benefit every class of peo-
pie, directly. or indirectly. We are
wealthy enough to build good roads:
the farmer alone should not build
them
With better knowledge of farming
and good roads we would have a far
better country than we have. Our pc
cuniary circumstances would be greatly
improved. There would be greater So
liability and more contentment among
the farmers, less congestion in the
cities and higher intellects; this would
very materially help to guide the ma
ton safely through political campaigns.
Only the uniformed can be misled.
Let us acquire knowledge and work
faithfully. With good roads, produc-
tive soil and abundant resources we
can prosper as no other nation on
earth.-N. c. Jorgensen, in N. Y. Tri-
bune-Farmer.
