Effect Of Pasturing Wheat.

There are many complaints coming
from Southern Indiana about wheat
growing too rank, and some of 1t has
already lodged. The continuous rains
during April and May have induced an
abnormal growth Of straw, with cor
responding poor chances for proper
filing. I have been watching the be-
havior of wheat fields which we're pas
tured early in the season. Although
it is yet too early to determine pre-
cisely what the outcome will be, these
pastured fields have not made ~ rank
growth and the straw appears sitter.
There is no inclination to lodge, and
the color is good. The only evil results
now see from the pasturtng is, that
stock was allowed upon the fields when
they were soft, and there are some
places In the fields considerably cut up.
believe this has been just the sort of
season when pasturing off grain pays.
| will report later upon these fields,
but 1t looks now as If they would out
yield the unpastured fields from ten
to fifteen bushels per acre.. G.

The great drawback OF stomach worn
parasites 1t seems has been solved
with an effective and simple remedy,
as lately noted ii the Farmer, and now
the fiocks should be increased. The
range sheep on the public lands arc
growing less and less, and the demand
for mutton constantly increasing. This
demand must be supplied by the farm
ers In the corn belt Now is the time
to found new Jocks. But the inexperi-
enced shold begin on q small scale and
grow into larger fiocks as experience IL
obtained,
In sheep, as IN other classes Of live
stock, only pure bred bucks should be
used In the flock, for experience has
shown that the best blood in grade
muttons bring the most money. n. H.
Wheeler Of the Live Stock Bulletin
says truly that there Is no vocation
which would prove greater financial
or influential proposition to the young
farmers and stoekmen OF the north CEN

masters. It is our advice to each and
every boy who has In his heart love
for the gentle sheep to make start
as breeder Of thsse fine creatures.
To be breeder. however. you must
be a shepherd. or in case your are net
SO qualified then 1t would pay to hire

in one meaning Of the word. yet from
another viewpoint wish to say that

herd Is to the flock what at pilot Is to

HIS BATTERY BEAT NAVY.
Lieut.. Brilliant, an Abilene Boy, Ii
q Winner.

Lieutenant Charles Brilliant, U. S.
N, OF the armored cruiser Maryland,
spent Saturday and Sunday with his
uncle, Andrew Gross. Lieutenant
Brilliant has been away on months
leave and is returning to the Mary
land, in San Francisco Bay. He is
the son OF the late M. v. Brilliant
who lived in Abilene a number Of
years.
Lieut.. Brilliant is in complete
charge Of all the six-inCh guns Of the
Maryland, which callber forms the
principal battery. In addition to this
he is the fire control officer Of the en-
tire ship, and as such is directly re-
spOnsible for the shifting power" Of
the ship.
Last year Lieut.. Brillhart's battery
was the best in the navy, and he was
the recipient Of commendatory
letter from the secretary Of the navy.
This year Mr.. Brilliant has beaten all
previous records Of the world with
six-inch guns, and 1t is possible, but
not probable, that any Of the battle
ships now at Magdalena bay will beat
Mr.. Brillhart's record.
Lieut.. Brilliant will rejOin the
Maryland at San Francisco, and the
cruiser will then go to Seattle, WASH,
for docking, returning to San Fran
cisco in time to greet the battleshiPs
now on cruise around the world.
