Trials of a Turkey Raiser.

Members of the House of Representa-
tives are having quite a lot of fun al
the expense of Representative Charles
ID. Lands of Indiana, who has been
making some experiments in turkey
raising.
Representative Landis bought few
pairs of bronze turkeys, paying a big
price for them, spent lot Of money In
a turkey house, with all the comforts
OF turkey home, heated rooms for the
expected chicks, etc., and laid in stock
of literature on how to get rich on tur.

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.

Keeoiue Records on the Farm.

The Bureau of Animal Industry has
published very valuable BOOK giving
"Records of Dairy Cows In the Onlteo
States" This publication contains
valuable information and eAceilens

the country. 1t urges dairymen 10
adopt better business methods on lne
farm-a complete system OF bookkeep-
ing whereby definite knowledge or lhe
sources of profit aud loss may be ascer,
tanned. In no department connected
with the farm is there more need LOT
absolute data than in the dairy. Whlle
village merchants and grocers, Tor 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 good profit while his
next door neighbor with the same soil
and market may be losing money. The
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.

With so many splendid possibilities
in its favor, officials Of the Department
Of Agriculture believe that macaroni
wheat has great future. Bread and
pastry made from it will find vel
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.

that macaroni wheat and its products
will give it high rank among standard

turing domestic macaroni, the United

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 Agric, lture
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.

home Of the best of macaroni wheats,
he found the climatic conditions ap-
proximately the same as those of our
Great Plains. He secured 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 rapidtty.
Perhaps no other new crop has been so
warmly welcomed by the farmers in
the regions suitable to it's 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 a
large amount of moisture. resists
vigorously all the smuts and rusts and
is strong grower, yielding far in ex-
cess os the ordinary bread wheat.
A peculiar property of macaro0i
wheat which makes it valuable for its
distinct uses is its protein or gluten
content.
In 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 100000 pounds
annually with value Of $1.250.000. In
1900 there was not a single factory in
the United States manufacturing ma
caroni from macaroni wheat. All that
