French Peasants Odd Business.

'In France. at this season., said a
bird dealer, the banks of the streams
are yellow with bonfires every night.
About the fires leaf peasants, men
and women, smoking. chatting and
spooning.
They keep the blaze going all night,
and at dawn, behold! the ground is an
inch or two deep with May flies, fire
flies, moths-little creatures that eX-
pecting some unknown and divine SEN
sation, flew out of the darkness into
those clear and gemlike flames, flut-
tered forth again in agony, fell and
died.
The tiny corpses are sold to the
French bird dealers at five or six
cents pint, and are resold for food to
the owners of pet birds, finches,
thrushes, canaries, nightingaies and
the like"

ant group Of wheats, they are proba-
bly, in the lead.
As stated above, the Durum wheats
are very hard. and for this reason are
difEicult to mill, and hence very un-
popular with the millcTs. It is the
general idea also that they produce a
very poor grade Of flour. but in Rus
sia, where the art of milling has
reached high state Of perfection,
this is not considered so, especially
when a small percentage Of soft
wheat is mixed with them. There is
an increasing demand through the
world for these hard wheats. and If
the farmers only decide to grow them
the millers viii undoubtedly equip
their mills with machinery for hand
ling them or else go out OF the bust
ness.
Since the Durum wheats are usual
" grown from spring seeding. it is
doubtful whether they viii ever be-
come a very popular variety where
spring seeding Is the most Successful
There is a possibility, however. that
these spring wheats can be made to
grow as fall varieties. The Utah ex-
pertinent station has undertaken to
grow several Of these varieties from
fall seeding, and the trials are prov
