A bulletin of the Minnesota Experl'
ment Station discusses the composition
and characteristics Of the more common
farm crops, as alfalfa, clover, peas,
rape, corn fodder, timothy, millet, etc.
In connection with the composition
Of some Of the crops the protein con-
tent Of the seed Is considered. In the
case Of clover, alfalfa, peas, beans and
rape two distinct types Of seed are
shown to recur, one Of high and the
other Of low protein content, and the
relationship Of the physical character
istics Of the seeds to the chemical COM
position Is noted. The larger protein
content Of the seed is considered as a
possible factor in the production Of for
age crops Of high nutritive value. The
quality Of the forage in livestock feed
ing Is Of great Importance, because by
the use Of more concentrated nitroge-
nous forage rations can be prepared
requiring smaller amounts of grains
and milled products. The result is
material financial saving of stock.

For winter feeding of stock animals
this makes one Of the finest feeds on
the farm. The modern husking ana
shredding machinery does excellent
work. and its man-eating proclivlties

to do good shreddlng, but the grain Is
not left In the best condition. Inc
greatest drawback in the use OF Dotn

quire large force Of men and teams'
hence the work Is quite expensive
Perhaps the cheapest corn husklng Is
done with the little old husking peg
But 1t Is almost impossible to feed long

the refuse stalks are a nuisance when
it comes to handling the manure. These
difficulties may be overcome by running

erything Is hired, the cost Of the work.
added to that of hand-husking and put

the expense of machine husking and

uId-WorId Royalties Are Very Com
yenient Subjects of Conversation.
The royal standard, streaming aboye
the battlements, showed CALAMITY
through an opening in the trees. The
Americans, resting midway of their
walk through Windsor Park, fell nat
urally as they watched it into casual
chat concerning the royal family, whose
presence it indicated. Presently a
young girl laughed and addressed an
other.
"As usual, Connie, it's you who Is
going to be married to who, and why.
and whose son he is, and how under
such and such contingencies he would
succeed to such and such a throne.
"You, the most thorough-going, un.
ulistakable, t-the-eagle-scream Ameri-
can of us all Yet you gloat over d
royal wedding as a gossipy village
dressmaker does over wedding In the
Oldest local family. It's too funny!"
Constance Joined the laughter, but
she defended herself.
Certainly 1 do! It's only simple
gratitude in me to feel a kindly inter-
est in the affairs Of royalty. You see,
two years ago much Travelled, widely
informed, very aged, very argumenta-
tive and very domineering cousin spent
the winter with us. Until discovered
the crowned heads of Europe CONVEX
sation in the family circle was an or
deal. She challenged everybody's opln-
ions, authorities and tastes, and bullied
or derided us into assent or silence.
But her years abroad had given her
taste for gossip about royalties, and I
soon learned, when perceived storm
brewing, to fling overheard a prince or
a princess, as one might pour oil upon
the waters; and 1t always acted like
charm. Concerning the European
sovereigns, we had neither principles,
theories nor feelings to be assailed,
while Cousin Euphemia possessed an
accumulated fund of information,
which she was delighted to bestow upon
us. Oh, assure you, royalties have
their uses even in republic; as a pic
turesque, interesting and harmless sub
ject Of conversation, kings and queens
can't be excelled."
And that's one Of their uses," COM
mented one Of the men, smiling, "even
in a monarchy. They are the fairy
story, the romance, of their people;
and every royal betrothal, wedding,
christening or funeral is a thrilling
new chapter in a serial that never
ends. s."-Youth's Companion.

STAPLE FOOD SUPPLY LIMITED.
Comparatively Few Nutritive Pro-

ducts of the Worlds Inhabitants.
Certain great food staples have
proved themselves within the age-long
experience of humanity to possess a
larger amount of nutritive value, diges-
tibility and other good qualities, and
smaller proportion of undesirable prop
critics than any others, says McClures.
These, through an exceedingly slow and
gradual process Of the survival of the
tittest, have come to form the staples
of food in common use by the human
race all over the world. 1t is really as
tonishing how comparatively few there
are of them, when We come to consider
them broadly the flesh and the milk of
three or four domesticated animals, the
flesh Of three or four and the eggs Of
one species Of domesticated birds, three
great gralns-wheat, rice and maize
and half-dOzen smaller and much less
frequent ones, one hundred or so spe-
cies of fishes and shell fish, two sugars,
a dozen or so starch-containing roots
and tubers, only two Of which-the po-
tato and the manioc-are of real In
ternational Importance, twenty or thir-
ty fruits, forty or fifty vegetables make
up two-thirds of the food supply of the
inhabitants Of the world.
Instead of wondering at the variety
and profuseness of the human food sup
ply the biologist is rather inclined to
calculate with the London footman i'm
mortalized by John Leech, who, when
told by the cook that there would be
mutton chops for dinner and roast beef

1t is doubtful if there is any kind Of
fruit that will come strictly true to va

is tendency to deviate from the orig

some undesirable kind. 1t is a slow

quite often. He was never done talkin'
about low lucky he was to get his aunt
to stay with him. Sed she had a paper
made out, sayln' that things was to 60

Mary Emily was alive. He wasn't to

him that she'd had the bill made to her,

there was always the thought of havin'

keep him from maxim fuss; seemed

Beans.

Beans" is the title Of a recent farm
ers' bulletin, by Professor Corbett, the
well-knowns horticulturist of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
Beans belong to one of the most impor-
tant families Of economic plants with
which man has to deal-that of le-
gumes. The bean furnishes food for
both man and and beast, and at the
same time increases the fertility of
the soil. 1t is, therefore, an impor-
tant crop, both in farm rotation and
In market garden work. The new bull
letin treats fairly Of its cultivation,
care and use.
Professor Wianeko, Of Purdue Expe-
riment Station, has just issued an in
teresting bulletin on Soy beans, COW
peas and other forage crops The cul-
ture of COW peas and soy beans Is be-
coming important with many farmers,
as they make good forage crops and at
the same time add fertility to the soil.
They belong to the legumes, and the
cost Of producing is about the same as
for corn, while their food value COM
pares very favorably with corn. Sew
eral other classes Of forage plants are
described In the bulletin.

Pasteurlzing milk is a very simple
process, the operator to be careful Of
the temperature, however, which is
very important. When milk is boiled
the natural flavor Is destroyed, and
some persons object to It, Milk Is also
injured to certain extent by boiling.
To Pastuerize milk, procure long
necked bottle, which must be scrupu-
lousy clean; pour in the milk and plug
the tops with cotton wool, which ex-
cludes all germs. Place the bottles in
deep pan or other vessel and heat to
temperature of 15S degrees, using a
thermometer. If the temperature reach
es 100 degrees the milk will have the
odor of being boiled. Keep the milk
heated for half an hour. The cot
ton shoppers need not be removed un-
til the milk is desired for use. The
bottles containing the milk may be
placed In a refrigerator or some cool
receptacle. Milk so prepared can be
kept for two or three days. To sterillze
milk 1t must be boiled, hence Pasteu-
rization is a different process
