Of too small diameter. Because Of the
smaller cost three inch tile was COM

of the work proved worthless and now
has to be all done over again. No tile
less than four inches In diameter

that the land was not properly sur

One Of the new and interesting facts
of the year is that Europe takes 6,0O0.-
600 bushels Of macaroni wheat grown
in this country, the first wheat of this
sort which has ever been exported from
the United States. Another good thing
about this is that this wheat was raised
upon land in this country which was
not counted fit for cultivation five
years ago.

The changed conditions which make
the farmer wholly dependent upon the
local butcher for his supply of meat is
all wrong. No man can afford to sell
animals at wholesale prices and buy
his meat at retail prices. Every man
should make his own salt and smoked
meats and by cooperation with two
or three neighbo-s supply himself with
all the winters fresh meat.
