two equal sized heads will yield the
most Is by actual test. If the greatest
Improvement is to be made individual
head tests will have to be resorted to.
Individual Head Tests.
These individual head tests are car,
ried on In much the same manner as
the individual ear tests with corn. The
heads should be carefully selected In
the fall. In addition to the size Of
heads, the stiffness of the straw, its
height and freedom from rust and
other fungus diseases should be noted.
The rows In the breeding plot should
be four inches apart and the kernels
dropped the same distance apart In the
row. The aim throughout should be TO
have the conditions as nearly like
those of the field as possible. The
number of rows will depend to con-
siderable extent on the time that can
be devoted to the work. The larger
the number the greater the probabil-
ity OF producing something good. Fiji
ty rows is a good number to start
with.
Increasing the Yields
In the fall the rows should be care

There are two main reasons for the

another great war; and this time a
successful one, can restore hes lost
prestige. A second and more powerful
reason is the drawing together OF

In addition to the selection for yield,

points that should be considered.
These depend to Il considerable extent

In selecting oats the per cent OF hull
is one of the most important points to
look to. This varies from 20 to 80
per cent of the entire weight. Since

The thought that water is a most
valuable natural asset for irrigation
and general navigation and must be
conserved by protecting forests and
controlled for industrial uses, is a new
one to Americans. We had hardly

which it had been put has aroused the
nation to it's great value. The ap.
planes of electricity have made it
the power which is destined to super
cede steam and all other forms of
power. Private monopoly woke to the
value of waterpower in the industrial
future of the country long before the
government or the people realized that
the water powers were being bought

work of Improvement must largely DE

the basis for improvement In yield as
well ms in the other points that Will

that ms the basis Of Improvement. The
simplest method of breeding Is to Sc

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

The revolution in Persia which Is
being accomplished practically under
the supervision and with the co-opera-
ton of Russia is less interesting as an
exhibition of the rise of independent
political thought and action among the
people of Asia than it is Of the
changed relations between the great
empires of Europe. Ever since the
time of Napoleon the bitterest hatred
and the strongest jealousy has been
felt toward each other by Great Brit
ain and Russia. While they have pre-
served peace with difficulty since the
days of the Crimean war, it has been
universally believed and understood
that at some future time they would
clash over their final boundaries In
Asia. Great Britain has felt that her
Indian empire would be less than Sc
cure II the authority Of the czar were
pushed too far southwark. Russia, In
her ambition to dominate Asia, has
never ceased her stealthy advances
eastward and southwark. 1t would be
difficult to find a student of political
history within the last fifty years who
did not believe that imperial necessity
would eventually bring about war be
tween Russia and Great Britain owe
their respective spheres OF authorit!
and influence In the Orient.

spectacle Of an apparent entente cor

emies. There has hardly been tim

AFRICA'S FUTURE.

II used to be, not many years ago,
a dangerous and thrilling adventure to
go even comparatively short distance
into the interior of Africa. 1t was the
dark continent, haunted by savage
tribes, fierce beasts, unpenetrable jun.
giles and fever laden swamps. Now
Africa has become so civilized that
even hunters have to take out licenses
and must choose between the ordinary
license, which permits him to kill only
two animals of kind or pay the un-
limited rate and kill all he can. 1t is
a land of wonderful wealth and won
derful opportunities. Even after
counting out over half the continent as
barren, desert, unhealthful or occupied
by native ability, Africa has five mill
ion square miles of healthful, produc-
tive, absolutely undeveloped land. In
gold, minerals and precious stones 1t
has almost unreasonable wealth. 1t
is supplied with water powers and nav
igable rivers and lakes as no other
country is. 1t would have been de-
veloped long ago but for it's inaccessi
bility. Africa has few harbors, pes
| tilential coast, great deserts, cutting
off the interior and impossible cat
aracts near the mouths of the rivers
but the railroads are overcoming al
this and African railroads do not have
to build snow sheds and the rivers ant

FIG XIv-GoOD HEAD OF BEARDED WHEAT.
termine the differences more exactly
it is necessary to weigh a hundred
oats or so on fine balance such as
any doctor or druggist possesses, then
press out the hulls and weigh them
and calculate the per cent. The weight
of oats to the measured bushel varies
from twenty-five to fifty pounds. The
heavy oats are of course the most
valuable. Nearly all grain elevators
have a small device for testing the
weight per bushel.
Another point to be considered Is the
tendency to stool. In localities where
the summers are cool and late Varle-
ties can be grown, tendency to stool
considerably is desirable, since thick
stand can be secured with less SEED.
Where the summers are hot ana carry
varieties must be grown, however the
tendency to stool to any great extent
should be discouraged, since stooling
always delays ripening. Often hull
will be seen partly inclosing smaller
oat. These small oats are known as
pin oats. They lessen the yield, and
q strain which contains many of them
should be Disseminated against.
There are three general types of oats
side oats, hulless oats and spreading
oats. The hulless varieties do not yield
enough to be OF any great value. The
side oats, In which the berries are oil
on one side of the head, are grown In
this country to limited extent only.
Most of the oats grown are of the
spreading varieties. There are varie-
ties Of oats of almost every color,
white, yellow, black and green being
the most common. There is little diff
ference In yield that can be ascribed
to color. If they are grown in com
munity in large enough quantities so
| that they can be shipped in carload
lots the selling price will not vary
| much
Selecting Wheat and Barley Heads.
| In selecting wheat heads those that
do not shell too readily should be given
the preference, since much wheat Is
lost by Smelling during harvest. The
grains should be plump, smooth ana
bright. The seed coat should be tough
and not cracked. Where the bran Is
brittle and cracks easily 1t is difficult
to separate 1t from the -four. The
kernels should be hard. Hard wheat
makes better -four owing to the great
er percentage of gluten, and millers
will pay more for it. Beardless wheat
is more easily handled, but 1t does not
yield as well as the bearded varieties.
In barley the hull adheres to the
kernel In thrashing. The grains should
be bright, as the quality Of brewing
barley depends largely upon the color
The best barley for brewing purposes
Is that which contains the most starch
This can be determined by cutting
through the grain and noting the per
centage Of starch to horny parts. Fol
feeding purposes u smaller percentage
Of starch is desired.
Beardless barley Is a little less hardy
and yields little less than the bearl
ed sorts, but the convenience Of han
ding more than makes up for this
There are two types OF barley. the two
rowed and the six rowed. The siA
rowed varieties have given the hes
