CHARGED for Brains.

A farmers pump having gotten out
of order, the owner and his men spent
some hours In an attempt to rectlfy
matters, but without avail.
Then some of the farmers neighbors
came on the scene, but after much
tinkering they also had to retire dis
comfited. Finally, a young man from
a neighboring farm was asked to try
his hand on the job. He looked the
pump over, hammered at 1t for while,
and after a little more tinkering, had 1t
in working order again. The owner
of the pump was delighted.
Name your own price, Joe, my lad,'
said he.
Joe thought a while, and then sug'
gested five dollars.
Five dollars!" calculated the owner
in indignant tones; why, you didn't
spend fifteen minutes on 1t, and any
one of us could have done what you did
Fifty cents would be an ample price for
the work"
The young man smiled. All right
said he, "I1l make another charge. and

Trials of q Turkey Raiser.

Members of the House of Representa-
tives are having quite a lot of fun at
the expense of Representative Charles
d. Lands of Indiana, who has been
making some experiments in turkey
raising.
Representative Lands bought few
pairs of bronze turkeys, paying a big
price for them, spent lot of money il
a turkey house, with all the comforts
of turkey home, heated rooms for the
expected chicks, ETC., and laid in a stock
of literature on how to get rich on tur
key raising.
At the outset one of the finest hens
became dissatisfied with the luxuries Of
home and finding the trammels of the
modern method distasteful made off for
the woods. The other hens stayed at
home, however, and in due time
brought out five broods of fifteen or So
fine little chicks. They were being ten.

went into a wheat field for a change Of
diet. A rain storm overlook them
they caught cold and every young
turkey died. Turkev-raiser Lands was
disconsolate over his loss and while
he was bewailing the fate of the young
brood, in stalked the insurgent turkey

Keeping Records on The Farm.

The Bureau of Animal Industry has
published a very valuable book giving
Records of Dairy Cows in the United
States" This publication contains
valuable information and excellent
halftone illustrations of record cows OF
the country. 1t urges dairymen to
adopt better business methods on the
farm-a complete system of bookkeep-
ing whereby definite knowledge of the
sources of profit and loss may be ascer-
tanned. In no department connected
with the farm is there more need for
absolute data than in the dairy. While
village merchants and grocers, for ex-
ample average about alike in their
knowledge of their businesses, their
prices and profits being nearly equal,
the records show that there are pro-
gressive and unprogressive dairymen,
one making a good profit while his
next door neighbor with the same soil
and market may be losing money. The
difference in their profits therefore
must be accounted for largely by the
difference in the intelligence put into
their business. Experts of the Depart
ment of Agriculture believe that one
fourth of the cows in the entire coun-
try kept for milk do not pay for the
cost of keeping and nearly one-fourth
more fail to yield an annual profit. The
object of the book issued by the Bureau
is to show dairymen the Importance of
keeping records complete enough so
that it will be possible to avoid the
handling of improbable animals and
to bring the dairy industry of the coun-
try up to a paying basis.

CROP OF cApoM WHEAT RAISED AT THE NEW MEXICO EXPERIMENT STATION

1905 cannot be accurately determined
at this time, estimates run from $4,000
900 to 30,000,000 bushels-this is a
comparatively new crop in the United
States. Instead of importing macaroni
wheat for the purpose of manufac-
turing domestic macaroni, the United
States is now exporting annually about
100000 bushels to France and Italy
and other European countries. for it
has been found by the manufacturers
there that the American grown wheat
makes a most excellent product. Sec.
retary Wilson stated that the value Of
the macaroni wheat industry in this

not been considered valuable for wheat
raising.
The introduction of macaroni wheat
into the United States came about
through the pilgrimage to Europe and
Asiatic Russia in 1899 Of Mark A.
Carleton, of the Department OF Agri-
culture, (then the assistant In charge
of cereal investigation.) He was sent
there by the Secretary of Agriculture
in order to gain all possible information
in regard to macaroni wheat and to
select such varieties as would probably
succeed in the great grain regions and
especially in semi arid portions where
the ordinary bread wheats were some
times at best but an Indifferent crop.
Mr.. Carleton made a thorough explora-

900 annually.
With so many splendid possibilities
in its favor, officials of the Department
of Agriculture believe that macaroni
wheat has a great future, Bread and
pastry made from it will find a wei
come addition to the tables of the
American people while the introduc
tion of the wheat into the Great Plains
region has proved an inestimable boon
to the farmers of the semi-arid belt,
extending from North Dakota to Texas.
While it may take some time to edu.
cate both producers and consumers to
it's excellence and value it is believed
that macaroni wheat and its products
will give it high rank among standard
farm crops.

Macaroni Wheat Introduction.
Mention has been recently made OF
the great value to the American farm
er of the importation of a new variety
OF wheat known as Durum or macaroni

of water through the wick is started
by suction. The wick at the end of
the long leg of the improvised siphon
Is separated into several strands, one
strand being placed in each pot to be
watered. The caretaker may now go
away for the day with the assurance
that his flowers will receive all tho
water necessary. In warm weather
1t is best to cover the pail and wrap the
tube cloth, to prevent the wick from
drying. The German inventor of this
device says 1t has always worked sue
cessfully.

Rapid Increase in Production.

The progress of the macaroni wheat
industry in this country may be under
stood when it is known that the first
crop of any considerable amount was
in 1901 when it was estimated that
from 10000 to 10000 bushels were har-
vested. In 1902 the yield was between
100000 bushels and 100000 bushels.
In 1903 nearly 100000 bushels were
obtained while in 1904 the yield
amounted to nearly 20,O00,O00 bushels.

tion and secured a large number of
varieties. In the Russian provinces
north of the sea of Azov, already the
home OF the best of macaroni wheats,
he found the climatic conditions ap-
proximately the same as those of our
Great Plains. He secured a number of
bushels of the best varieties of wheat
grown there and these wheats the De-
partment of Agriculture distributed to
growers in suitable localities, thereby
increasing the stock. The crop secured,
together with two fresh importations,
was distributed in 1901 to the farmers
of the northwest, through the expert
ment stations of the various states.
Great Crop for Northwest.
Since the Department of Agriculture
undertook the work, the production OF
macaroni wheat in the northwest has
increased with astonishing rapidity.
PERHAPS no other new crop has been so
warmly welcomed by the farmers in
the regions suitable to its growth. 1t
has been found splendidly adaptable to
the climatic and soil conditions Of the
Great Plains region. 1t thrives In
abundant sunshine. does not require
large amount of moisture, resists
vigorously all the smuts and rusts and
is a strong grower, yielding far in ex-
cess os the ordinary bread wheat.
A peculiar property of macaroni
wheat which makes it valuable for its
distinct uses is its protein or gluten
content.
In a general way the methods to be
employed in the cultivation of maca-
roni wheats are similar to those re-
quired for the best results with any
other wheats.
The first and most obvious use OF
the macaroni wheat is the manufacture
of macaroni, vermicelli and other
forms of edible pastes. At the present
time this country is importing these
products largely, the importations
amounting to nearly 30.000,000 pounds
annually with value Of $1,250,OO0. In
1900 there was not a single factory in
the United States manufacturing ma
caroni from macaroni wheat. All that
