Wheat With Seven Heads.

A new kind of wheat is being raised
in Sumner county. The wheat is a
spring variety and was grown from
seed imported from Colorado. It is
called seven-headed wheat, because,
instead of growing as wheat usually
does, the head is composed of a bunch
of smaller heads, ranging in number
from five to ten. On one of these
heads we counted 80 grains. If this
wheat fills we'll it should make IS
bushels to the acre There is about
an acre of it on the Sumner county
farm. The stalk is heavier and strong
er than ordinary wheat.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch we're used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirelv overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

Two Perfect Cures by Cuticura.
For several years my husband
was a missionary in the Southwest.
Every one in that high and dry at
mosphere has more or less trouble
with dandruff and my daughters scalp
became SO encrusted with it that
was alarmed for fear she would lose
all her hair. After trying various rem
edies, in desperation bought cake
of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuti-
cura Ointment They left the scalp
beautifully clean and free from
dandruff, and am happy to say that
the Cuticura Remedies were a COM
plete success. I have also used sue
cessfully the Cuticura Remedies for
so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head.

New York there is quite large district
where White Lsghorns are raissd,by the
tens Of thousands for egg production

Country and climate do not make much
differences with the White Lsghorn. as
some people think. Whether in sunny
California or under the wintry skies Of
New York. the White Lsghorn makes
more than good. The reasons are not
difficult to see. Put 100 eggs from the
Leghorn with 100 eggs from any other
variety Of fowls in an incubator or undsr
mother hen. you will hatch . much greater
per cent Of the Lsshorn eggs. Put seven
ty-fivs White Lsehorn chicks In . broodsr
or under hens with ssvsnty-fvs Of any
other variety. you will raise more OF the
Lsshorns than the others.
The facts are that il 70 next 70 impos-

fined or on the range. thus assuring fer

During the spring Of l sos We set 1851

For these reasons alone We would advise
any one raising poultry for commercial
purposes to give his undivided attention
to the one profitable breed Of poultry
tnamsly) the Single Comb White Lsghorn.
There will b more eggs TO sell because
more will b Iaysd. There will b more
broilsrs and frysrs 70 sell. because more
