Miss Mary Anthony has paid her taxes again under protest. She writes to the city treasurer of Rochester. New York: "Once more all women political ly classed with minors, criminals, luna- tics and idiots, are compelled to con- tribute to the support of government which denies them any voice in the control of affairs, and once more I pay my taxes under protest. Please so record it." Miss Mary Anthony and her distinguished sister, Susan B. Anthony never pay taxes without a protest of this kind.

Mr.. Skrlyseth gives two reasons

they cured himself.

Spelt is a cereal which in appear
ance is intermediate between wheat
and barley, but, in reality, Is one of
the types into which wheat is d.
vided. 1t is a native of the countries
near the Mediterranean sea. At the
present time It is grown principally on
the poorer soils in Switzerland, south
ern Germany and northern Spain. II
is also grown at an elevation in Swift.
(Triticum vulgare) will not thrive
For general cultivation is is consid
cred much inferior to the finer varie.
ties of wheat. The head is open, mar.
row, beaded or bald, and is usually
very long. When the grain is threshed
the head breaks into pieces at the diff.
ferent joints, or nodes, leaving the
grain still clasped firmly by the chaff.
In order to make a separation of the
chaff from the seed, special machinery
is required. The grain is medium
hard, and somewhat compressed at
the sides. The grain in Ontario fire.
quently called Spelt belongs to the
Emmer class, and is, therefore, i'm.
properly named. To find out the
value of Spelt for growing in Ontario.

no less than ten varieties from Swift.
zerland, Russia, Germany, the Argen.
tine Republic and the United States.
Two of these varieties proved entire
failures, two others gave poor results,
and the other six varieties yielded
moderately well. AS the grain is en-.
closed by a chaff somewhat similar to
oats, and weighs less than 40 po2nds
per measured bushel, the results here
presented are given in pounds, in.
stead of bushels of grain per acre.
One of the best varieties of Spelt has
now been grown in the experimental
plots for five years, and has given an
average yield of 1929 pounds of grair

Truthful Fisherman Tells Story Which
Must Be Believed.
DR.. Bergesser of Nevada is the pos.
SCISSOR of lot of trained snakes which
some time ago he deposited in Tucker
Lake. AS soon as the doctor gets in a
sllff these trained snakes, which have
the faculty of distinguishing their
master from anyone else, swim to his
skiff, and hooking their tails over the
bow of his boat, haul him to the place
where the bass are playing thickest.
When the doctor prepares to fish
these educated reptiles unlock their
tails and swim away.
After the doctor catches a boatload
of bass, these intelligent snakes re-
turn, hook their tails over the boat
and pull him to shore, always bidding
him good-by with a hearty tailshake,
which they hold above the water in
a most friendly manner.
This is the reason DR.. Bergesser can
catch fish where other successful
anglers fail.
The doctor also says that he has
noted certain kind of frog which sits
on the bank and warns the fish not TO
bite, and he always has to shoot these
frogs before he can have any luck
fishing.
The doctor is not only successful
but he is also truthful fisherman, as
persons will realize who read of the
manner of his success as thus stipu

Whereas. Seed houses do a large

and thereby may materially affect the
general business of the crops of grain
thus produced, either for better OF
worse; and,
Whereas, 1t Is known that seed
thus sold by seed houses docs not al
ways possess the merit of type and
breeding sufficient to meet the expec
tations of the purchaser. and in fact
often does not tend to raise the
standard of the general crops pro
duced. For example it has been toe
common a practice for seedsmen tc
purchase ordinary corn from farmers
cribs and sell the same under special
brands when in fact it possessed no
special merit whatever, with respect
to type and breeding, and the same is
true in regard to other grains; there

Losa in Overtime Wheat.

In 1879, DR.. r. G. kedzie, in an ex.
haustive study of the ripening OF
wheat, pointed out that there was a
slight loss in weight between com.
plete ripeness and the stage generally
designated as dead ripe. Subsequent
experiment at this college and else.
where have given like results. There
is not only a loss by Smelling when
the grain becomes over-ripe, but q
given number OF we'll dried kernels,
or the product Of a given area. kept
in the ordinary manner, will weigh
less If taken from an over-ripe field
than II taken from a field cut at the
proper time. Moreover, the amount
and quality of the -four produced and
the terminating vigor of the grain
itself are less il the wheat is allowed
to become over-ripe than IL cut at an
G.rly period. These facts are now
well recognized by farmers, and ordi.
nary practice is regulated by this
knowledge. The loss in Smelling is un.
doubtedIy the most important one, and
fortunately it can be controlled in a
large measure by proper selection OF
varieties combined with harvesting
at the proper eason.-Michigan Sta.
