The Epic Of the Wheat

Why should there not I've epic,
OF feeding men, as we'll as epics oI

cupatlon OF the soldier who slay.
be deemed a better theme Tor n tai,
than that OF the farmer who sus'
tainsP WHY is not the plant which
keeps life in the bodies OF men as
well worth celebrating IN song and
story as the sword or lance OF
'nine-point-two' that lets life out'
so tar rs we can see, the plan has
all the best OF it, and We shall
here try to tell something OF the
greatest OF the food plants, to bring
together the materials Tor the iu-
ture epic OF the wheat.
Wheat is not only the greatest
OF the food plants, but, considered
from the point OF furnishing a food
that will build up human tissues
as well as generate human energy,
wheat is the best food plant.
Wheat feeds more people now
than even rice, and feeds them
vastly better. Next to meats it is
the most nutritious food OF which
there is any considerable supply
in the world. And here is a curl.
Gus thing to note IN passing: For
years scientists were troubled hv
the amount OF nourishmcnt wasted
in making flour, and protesting
against the craze Tor white
bread, in which the waste was
greatest. You all remember the
old Graham" bread, in which
that wasted nouushmrnt was sup.
posed to be saved. Perhaps Il
was, but not IN 4 form that the
human stomach could use. For a
developed science has proved
that the taste was right and the
older test tub wrong. The whittier
the flour, the more nourlShmcnt 1t
contains in disable torn, and the
waste so much lamcntcd Is as
lndlgestihle a. sawdust. That
would be very "nourishing, too,
our stomachs are SO slow IN
it.

Quite a stable amount, isn't it:
Yes, It was practically all used Ton
seed and Tor food. The next year F,
crop was several hundred million
bushels less, and the world had tl
eat less wheat and more rye and
barley and corn. This year ",
shall, apparently, have as much
wheat a. in 1000, and the demand
Tor II, IN spite OF the hard times,
Is fully a keen.
There IS no single article OF
commcrc, which is so widely dis.
tribntcd, and marketed with Sc
much care as wheat. Most OF ii is
consumed m the countries where IL
IS raised, OF course. But each
year from $50, 900, 900 to ESQ, 600,
600 bushels must be- shipped from
the lands which have it to the lands
which have not. The British is.
lands alone import from 400, 600, =
600 to 23o, 600, 900 bushels each
year-ipur-hiths OF all they use.
Germany has become n heavy i'm
porter, IN spite Of her tariff. Bel,
GUM, with her 700 persons 10 the
square mile, is, oil course, an i'm.
porter OF wheat; so is Holland, and
even France, with the third largest
wheat crop in the world, takes a
few million bushels nearly every
year. This wheat supply comes
from the very ends OF the earth.
The United States and Russia are
about tied tor first place as ex.
porting countries. Argentina is
Just behind US, Tor her population
IS so small that she ships three
quarters OF all wheat she raises.
Canada will some day be- the great
est wheat exporter in the world.

states add n goodly sum, Austria.

All over the sparsely settled parts
OF the world, unless they be toe
close to the poles or equator, are
great lakes OF wheat, from which
ten thousand rivers OF commerce
run toward western Europe-tht

swallowed up.
And yet the world has Just be,

Some day a good deal OF wheat

Siberia and Manchuria. But that
is a long way IN the future. What
is more to the point IS that a bil.

lands OF the United States, good
for an indefinite amount.
But a large part OF the needed
increase will come from old lands
which are o only scratched, but

It's a very old PLAINTIFF wheat.
When Homer heroes were talking
and Iawing, and sometimes night.
ing, OF, the plains OF Troy, wheat
was doubtless growing IN the sam,
neighborhood, making vastly less
fuss and doing vastly more work.
They had already been raising
wheat in Egypt tor several dozen
centuries, more OF less. Wheat
was raised by III, Swiss lakes so
long ago that the farmers had to
cut 1t with tools made OF flint, like
our Indian arrowhcads. Twenty.
three centuries ago the great Greek
civil war was decided when the al.
lies managed 10 smash the Athcnl.
an fleet, and So Shu, of the sup.
plies VI wheat from the Black sea.
For Athens was ted from abroad,
Just as England =, and was sub.
lect TO the sam, dangers on that
account.
Today there is not a continent in
which wheat is not grown. The
worlds crop in 1000, the record
year, was S,425, 700, 600 bushels.
OF this the United States raised a
little less than one.tourth-734,.

CAUGHT THIS TIGER
WITH BIRD LIME

Probably the most difhcult Of all
wild animal trapping Is the capturing
alive Of a well developed Bengal tiger.
I7sere ~ with the Barnum and Bailey
show trapper recently returned from
Calcutta with a consignment of Asiatic
animals, who is a walking library OF
animal stories. "Of course, hunting
the tiger while mounted upon ele-
plants, with an express rifle, is ex-
citing sport but in our business we
never kill unless fatally cornered," he
says. The Chinese sometimes catch
the tiger in a box trap, baited simply
with a looking-glass. The tiger, seeing
his reflection. mistakes II for a rival,
rushes into the trap, frees the trigger,
and is caught.
Il recall capturing an unusually fine
specimen Of the Royal Bengal with the
use OF bird-llme. With my shikarree
assistants we hung a quarter of fresh
venison from the limb of a tree, Just
high enough to make II impossible Of
reach. The ground underneath we COW
cred with leaves and bird-lime. Then
we concealed ourselves in a banyan
tree. After several hours waiting We
heard the loud purr-r-r booming
through the Jungle and all at once we
saw a tiger coming out of the under
brush, his broad, whitish throat and
beautiful coat shining in the sunlight
He was crouching, Just after the man
ner of a house cat when making her
approach to some unwary bird. His
eyes appeared to fash fire as he bent
them upon the. tempting venison hang
ing Just above his reach. He seemed
nonplussed that he could not get at the
meat. After a moments pause he
gathered up his long back and sprang
high into the air, but without success.
Uttering an angry growl Of disappoint-
ment he made another attempt. All
at once the great brute realized that
something unusual had happened 10 his
feet and legs. He raised his paws and
saw a number of leaves sticking to
them. Showing signs Of annoyance, he
tried to rub the leaves away by pass
ing his paws over his head and against
his cheeks. He succeeded in getting
most of the leaves OF his foot, but
they adhered to his head, ears and
Jaws. These he attempted to remove
by using his paws, but he only added
more, by this time covering his eyes.
Then he tried rubbing his head along
the ground, temporarily binding him
self.
by this time he had lost all pa
tience, and he thought only Of freeing
himself. Springing into the air, dash
ing himself against the trees, scrap
ing with his huge paws, growing,
bowling and screaming, he finally ex-
hausted himself and sank upon the
ground. In this condition he was COW
cred with meshes Of a strong netting
and rolled into a heavy, iron-bound,
temporary cage, where In the course Of
a fortnight, after continual use Of his
paws (very much after the manner in
which our house cats wash their face)
his coat shone as brightly as before
and he was taken TO the city, where,
by the use of a refrigerating system,
he was acclimatized, that is, habituated
to the colder atmosphere Of our Ameri-
can climate.
When the Barnum and Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth makes its free
street parade on Friday the public can
see this mighty specimen of the Royal
Bengal tiger, now named Maherajah
