BULL FIGHTS RED LANTERN.
Light Caught on Animals Horns and
Excitement Follows.

Philadelphia. Joseph Griffiths OF
Mount Tabor undertook to drive bull
up Broad street. When a short dis
lance above Westmoreland street the
bull charged a red lantern that had
been placed near an excavation in
the street.
Lowering its head and believing,
the bull made a plunge at the lamp,
hooking 1t on one of its horns.
With the red lamp glowing in its
face, the bull began a series of antics
that were as interesting as they were
exciting. II pranced about in circle,
trying to catch up with the aggravat-
ing light, until 1t had gyra,ed across
Broad street and fell against the curb
ing in front of the Masonic home.
Some of the aged Masons who saw
the bull from the porch thought the
New Jersey devil had come to this
city. After the bull had recovered its
wind it was driven up Broad street.

from each row weighed for compar-
ison with other rows as we'll as with
the standard varieties, and the results
recorded.
The third generation is grown in IT
foot rows from the seed of all of the
second generation rows selected, and
the results of this year should point out
the best yielding strains. 1t is advised
that of a few of the very best and
highest yielding strains somewhat
larger plants be grown this year to in
crease the seed for more extensive
planting in the fourth generation. A
few of the best yielding strains
should be saved from this years crop
for more extensive trials in the fifth
year.
For the fourth generation 17foot
test rows are planted with the strains
retained from the third generation and
these are compared with some stand
ard variety. If possible, several test
be grown in different parts of the test
plat. At maturity the grain Of each
test row is harvested and weighed sep
arately, as heretofore, and the yield
records carefully made and preserved.
BY comparing the yields OF the test
rows and increase-plats of each strain
for the three years with each other
and with the yields of the standard va
rieties the highest yielding strains to
be retained for extensive trial may
readily be determined.
T. II. Carton of England says in
reference to his experiments in cross
breeding of wheat that valuable breed
ing plants have been found in
some OF the indigenous or wild types
of Russian whaats, which while possess
ing some defects were likewise quite
superior in other points of merit. For
instance, the tenacity OF chaff is SO
marked and the brittleness at the base.
OF the grain so great (speltz wheats,
break off when bent) that the grain
cannot be threshed out by any mechan-,
ical operation. On the other hand,
they are extremely early, stiff in the
straw, and possess excellent glutinous
properties. Consequently these types,
have been used as parents in breeding,
TO embody more tenacity in the chair
of cultivated wheats, thereby making.
the new varieties more strongly storm
proof. Some of the progeny of crosses
of the speltz wheats with ordinary
types have been left in the fields six
weeks after ripening without loss or
grain. Another result is a wheat seven
to ten days earlier than early English
cultivated types, and possessing a
higher percentage of gluten.

COWBOY a Spartan.

Upton, Wyo.-When it was made
clear to Earl Hampton, cowboy, that
he had to lose leg or his life, he said
to the surgeons in the Omaha hos
pital: "All right. then; take her off. /"
and amputation three inches above
the knee followed.
While driving from one ranch to an
other two months ago Hampton was
thrown from blackboard and sus-
tanned n compound fracture OF the
right leg. A foot of snow covered the
ground, the thermometer registered is
degrees below zero, and he was miles
from the nearest shelter. but for Is
hours no dragged himself six miles
through the snow TO road where he
was picked up by a ranchman.
The surgeons who attended Hamp-
ton say that no one person In ten
thousand would have survived his ex-
perience.

ScrStinlze the MsxIms.

A busy clergyman declared recently
that the way he got through his work
was by violating most Of the precepts
he lad been taught in boyhood, fore
most among them, IF you want any
thing done, do it yourself" The house
keeper may take a leaf from his book.
For example, the task which she turns
over to her daughter lightens her own
hands and trains those of the little
maiden. The most fatal precept for
mother" to observe is, Whatever is
worth doing at all, is worth doing welr'
that is, If well is interpreted to
mean las well as you can do it," Here
is a place for her TO use that judgment
which comes so high in the markets OF
the wcrld and is too often held so
cheap in the home. "As well as posi-
BILE" is none too well when the task
is making an apple pie or boiling pc
tato; but the woman who dusts her
house from attic TO cellar every day as
well as she can do it lacks a sense OF
proportion. So does she who darns
pair of 25-cent stockings half-hour o
week for three months. "A penny
saved is a penny earned" is another
dangerous maxim, declares the Youths
Companion, unless il is administered
with discretion. Cheap milk may in
volve large doctors bills. Cheap eggs
may mean an uneatable pudding
low wage in the kitchen may carry
with it waste far beyond its saving.
Women are learning that being q
woman demands some knowledge OF
almost every subject Of modern eco
nomic inquiry, and that it is no longer
possible to trust all the useful precepts
of the past to solve the problems OF
the present.

Unlike the corn plant, wheat is nor
nally self-fertilized, almost no cross
ing occurring naturally, and for this
reason the individuals or plats grown
need not be isolated as in corn breed
ing. Dr. III. j. Weber of Cornell uni
versity considers IL possible that with
out resorting to the generally COM
pick methods OF hybridization and Sc
lection farmers may produce valuable
varieties and also improve the yield
OF their own crop. The methods by
which this may be accomplished are:
% The selection of chance variations
Or sports and the propagation from
them of improved varieties; GU the
systematic selection of the best yield
ing plants from well-known race to
secure better yielding strains; and CD
the selection of large heads for seed.
The search for promising plants
should be begun as soon as the crop
shows mature size of heads, and when
such plants are located they should be
marked so that the seed may be
secured when ripe. The seed from
each selected plant should be kept sep
arate and weighed, If the facilities are
DIT hand, in order that comparisons
may be made later on. Each one of
these plants, which are the first gen.
GRAFTON selections, should be given a
number and briefly described.
1t is recommended that the seed of
each plant be planted separately in a
short row on a clean and well-tilled
piece of ground. These rows may be
placed one foot apart and about every
twentieth row should be planted with

AS TO SHEEP
AND FERTILITY
BY E. E. Hozen.

When it comes to building up the
fertility of soil they put the dairy COW
to shame. | can show you fields that
before the sheep came were said to be,
too poor to even raise another good
crop, yet in the fall of 1907 the best,
crop OF corn ever raised on the land
was taken from these fields. From one
flock of 125 western ewes, nearly
81 1000 in lambs and wool was realized
the first year. The second year the
flock was reduced to 100 ewes. Ninety
of them raised 142 lambs. The 142
lambs and the wool from the ewes
brought 1914 per head for the 90
ewes. This year with what the owner
called poor luck and large percentage.
of the lambs coming late, the first lot
went at weight of 20 pounds. and
sold at 1928, top price; the next lot
went after the western run, weighing
7S pounds and selling at 500, top
price. And each year the market re-
porter made special comment on the
quality OF these lambs.

Some OF the devices by which ignor-
ance tries TO deceive intelligence are
amusing. The largest coal field in the
United States is that which extends
from Casper and Douglas, Wyo., north
ward to the Canadian line. Under the
law which provides that coal lands
of certain character and situation shall
be Withdrawn from homestead entry,
investigation of this field has lately
been made by government biologists.
The coal here appears in what is
known as blanket veins" which lie
nearly parallel to the surface, so that
an outcrop appearing on one side of a
hill is likely to be found on the other
side at the same elevation. But many
of the ranchers and wouldbe settlers,
maintaining that coal lands" under
the law, are only those in which the
coal appears on the surface, have gone
so far as to level the tops of hills to
cover outcropping coal veins, under
the delusion that they could deceive
the biologists.
