DURUM WHEAT.
Grows Where Other Kinds Won't
Makes Lots of Muscle.

There is steadily increasing produc
ton OF durum wheat in northern Mime
sofa and North Dakota and IN the arid
or semiaFid sections of other states.
The big Touring mills have not as yet
adapted their machinery to its proper
grinding says the Minneapolis Tribune.
They find it too rich in gluten and too
hard for their present instrument of
rollers. The elevator men don't handle
it freely because it necessitates special
bins. But the exporters take is eagerly.
1t is sometimes called macaroni wheat
because its main use up to this time
has been for the manufacture of maca-
roni The French, however who are
accounted the best cooks in the world,
have employed it quite extensively in
bread making, and it is asserted that
the bread made from it is most nutritious
as well as light and appetizing.
There is no reason why it should not
be. Gluten is muscle former In 100
ounces of lean beefsteak there are eight
cen parts of muscle formers. In 100
ounces of ordinary bread there are to

ounces of potatoes = ounces, in 10 ounces
of milk 4, but in 100 ounces of maca-

ounces of muscle forming material
Admitting the food value of this va
riety, the temptation to the farmer whose
land is adapted to it to plant it is al
most irresistible. 1t is plant that
stands drought much better than other
wheat plants. 1t is so hard and thrifty
that it is usually exempt from rust and
smut and bugs.
The average yield is high-often from
30 to 100 per cent. greater than that of
the old varieties of wheat grown in the
same district. 1t seems certain that

man signing himself II. G. Frick' II
letter requesting the loan of $4,000
lie had very little to offer in the way of
security, the writer said, but he pledged
his word that If the loan was made it
should be returned with interest.
The audacity of the request interested
the banks head, and he sent trusted
agent TO find out about the man Frick.
When the agent made his report the
bank decided to make the loan
That $4,000 was the foundation of

which he subsequently gave the Mellon
bank was worth hundred times the
