this respect they rank close to clover
and alfalfa and have the additional ad-
vantage of being able to grow on iano
where no one would even think OF SOW
ing alfalfa.
Like the other legumes. they may
need to have the soil inoculated with
bacteria, and this may be done either
by scattering dirt from a good cowpea
field over the patch to be sown or prob
ably by scattering the manure OF AMI
mails fed on cowpea hay. When inocu-
lated they will fix as much nitrogen In
the soil In 60 to 10 days as clover VIII
In eighteen months.
The nodules on the roots OF a cow
pea, the top of which was thirteen
inches high and bore ten pods, are
shown In the accompanying picture.
On stronger land the yield Of peas was
less per plant and there were FEWER
nodules on the roots, owing to the fact
that the richer soil went more to the

DURUM WHEAT.
a Grain That 10 Steadily increasing In
Popularity.

A Grain That is Steadily Increasing In
Popularity.
There Is a steadily increasing pro-
duction of durum wheat In northern
Minnesota and North Dakota and in
the arid or semiarid sections of other
states.
The big Touring mills have not as yet
adapted their machinery to the proper
grinding Of durum wheat, says an ex-
pert. They find the grain too rich in
gluten and too hard for their present
installment of rollers The elevator
men don't handle it freely because it
necessitates special bins. But the ex-
porters take it eagerly.
Durum is sometimes called macaroni
wheat because its main use up to this
time has been for the manufacture Of
macaroni. The French, however, who
are accounted the best cooks in the
world, have employed 1t quite extern
sively in breadmaking, and 1t is as
serted that the bread made from 1t Is
most nutritious as we'll as light and
appetizing. There is no reason why 1t
should not be.
Gluten Is a muscle former. In 100
sunces Of lean beefsteak there are
eighteen parts Of muscle formers. In
100 ounces Of ordinary bread there are
seven to eight ounces of muscle form
ers, in 100 ounces of potatoes two
| ounces, in 100 ounces Of milk four, but
in 100 ounces of macaroni or bread
| made from durum wheat there are
said to be from eighteen to twenty
ounces of muscle forming material.
Admitting the food value Of this va
riety of wheat, the temptation to tn
farmer to whose land 1t is adaptet
Is almost irresistible when wheat t
plant is chosen. 1t is plant tina
stands drought much better than othe
wheat. 1t is SO hardy and thrift
that it is usually exempt from rus
and smut and bugs.
The average yield is high, often fror
80 to 100 per cent greater than that

that durum Is destined to prove
blessing to the farmers.

Whiskers In Paris Reach the Pinnacle
Of Cultivation,

Of Cultivation.
It ia In Paris that the whisker
reaches It's highest state Of civilization
and development The luxuriant ver-
dure on the faces Of some of the Parf-
slams who strut along the boulevard
every day can be compared to nothing
but the riot of vegetation In the trop-
les. Every Partisan has whiskers-
much whiskers If he can, but some
whiskers ut any rate. He supplements
natures efforts with the best aids or
the barber and trains and nurses his
hirsute appurtenances with anxious
care.
The Parisians spend hours ON their
boards and educate them into formal
gardens, set pieces, shrubbery, terrace
and vista effects. They lay out hair
scapes with them, arrange them in I'M
dulating meadows and Irvine them on
pergolas There is the long, spade con-
coction much sought by men with
black boards, which consists of about
q foot of hair cut square across the
bottom and adds much glory to the
wearer, for the whiskers always shine
and glisten In the sun. There are side
winders and pointed ones, the heart
shaped and the curved, the waved and
| the plain. A man who can train his
whiskers to grow In new way is as
much of celebrity as man who
writes good poem or paints a good

VALUE OF PEDIGREE.
A Good Rain VIII Put Pounds Of Wool
on the Grade Flock.
BY w. U. CowDEN.

BY w. U. COWDEN.
The longer the pedigree, provided the
breeding has been in line. the more val
liable the animal, because each success
sive cross fixes the tendency to thus
reproduce itself, and these successive
crosses when judiciously made increase
the prepotency of the animal as we'll.
This question often presents itself to
the breeder: Two sheep are to all APP
pearances exactly alike In marking,
covering, etc. One has good pedigree;
the others life history has not been
kept He is in doubt which of the two
sheep to use, and If the one lacking
pedigree Is superior to the other in
many respects 1t then becomes difficult
for him to choose.
He Is puzzled the more II his previ-
Gus experience has shown good results
from his unpedigreed sheep, Such re-
suits would indicate that the latter
ram was pure bred animal where
pedigree had been lost by carelessness
or accident. But the chances of get
ting such results are so few and life SO
short that the prudent breeder will not
take the risk.
can illustrate this point by refer
ence to breeder In eastern Ohio. He
was somewhat singular according to
the worlds estimate; he cared nothing
for pedigree, but said good care and
plenty Of feed were all the pedigree he
wanted These he gave his sheep, and
| In a few years he had built up flock
which gave heavy feeces, and each car
cass weighed ten or fifteen pounds
more than his neighbors' pure bred
sheep.
He thus built up a very strong argu
ment against pedigree, to the chagrir
of those Of us who believed In pedi
gree. Indeed, he became a dangerous
rival, but we had to wait only a few
years until we saw his theory explod
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-10-17

ed. He died. and his flock fell into
other hands. and they deteriorated az
rapidly as they had improved, thus
proving that a single lifetime Ii too
short to fix the characteristics Of
good sheep.
Why will woolgrowers buy grade or
cheap rams when the pure bred ram Id
80 cheap? A good ram will put from one
to three pounds of wool per fleece on
the average grade flock. which will pay
for the ram the first year. aside from
the added value of the lambs. Indeed,
II a ram does not pay for himself the
first year he never will pay for himself.

TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE

for samose If It Does Not Make
Thin Folks Fat.

Pale. thin people are simply suffering
from want Of nourishment. They may
cat enough. but this food Is not pro-
perly digcsted and does them no good.
Samose. the remarkable flesh forming
food should be used by all who are
pale, weak and thin. II mingles with
the food and aids assimilation. so that
when taken for a short time. Nature
will soon assert her normal powers. and
the food that is eaten will give strength
and good flesh.
Weigh yourself before YOU COM
mence the use Of Samosc. and YOU will
notice a steady gain. Samose IS not a
cod liver oil or similar nauseating con-
coction. but a scientific flesh forming
food that restores the thin and scrawny
to their proper weight and fills the
weak and dehlitated with vigor and
vitality.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness Of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and well and gain
health and good flesh. will find his
desires accomplished by Samose
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Samose that Drug
lgist \. B. Danforth is willing to pay
