J The peril of the four young men
who put out upon Lake Michigan IN a
gasoline launch with supply of fuel
close to exhaustion should remind mo-
tor yachtsmen that small boat with
out power is helpless in comparison
with a sailing yacht The latter can
be handled so that she will be safe in
the toughest of weather, while the
powerless motor boat must wallow and
take what comes, unless those in
charge of her have seamanship enough
to rig sea anchor and ride behind it
while awaiting succor.

1t is stated that the recent missile
test against the ram Katahdin has
demonstrated that the theory as to the
piercing power of big projectiles fired
a modern battleships' range Is wrong
that the missile really drops from the
trajectory at so sharp an angle that 1t
delivers a glancing blow and therefore
does not penetrate armor plate of only
moderate thickness. If this is true,

girls holiday in order to attend the
fair. They will see many things that
will be new to them, and will learn
a great deal that will be of use to
them in doing the work on the farm.
Both harvesting and threshing will be
practically completed at fair time,

MAKING BREAD
WITHOUT FLOUR
THE AMERICAN MILLER GIVES
AN INTERESTING ACCOUNT
OF THE NEW PROCESS,

We have horseless carriages and
fireless cookers, but the latest inuo-
vation is ''dourless bread. In the
new process the necessity OF milling
the grain is eliminated, the wheat be-
ing used as it comes from the thresh-
ing machine.
The idea is that Of concern in
Paris, and the machine developed by
it transforms the wheat into dough
by the following means:
The machine consists mainly of a
large screw turning loosely in a case
On whose inner surface is a screw
thread running in the opposite direc-
uon. Between the main threads on
the cylinder are smaller threads and
the depth Of the grove between the
main threads grows progressively
smaller from one end to the other, so
that it will hold the entire wheat
grain as it enters the machine and
will accommodate only the pulv erized
wheat at the exit.
The wheat must first be pref ared
for breadmaking by a thorough wash
ing, after which about a pint OF tepid
water to a pound OF grain is added,
and the whole is allowed to stand
about six hours. At the end Of this
time the grains of wheat have swol
len to double their ordinary size.
1t is then mixed with the necessa-
ry quantity OF yeast and salt and
poured into the machine. 1t falls be-
tween the threads of the moving
screw, which chrush the envelope and
body of the grain, making Of them a
homogeneous mixture which just be-
fore leaving the screws forms a
smooth paste.
The work of kneading is terminal
ed by the operation of glider, form
ed by Two parallel surfaces. One of
these surfaces is the extremity of
the movable screw, while the other is
fixed to the contrary screw and has
central hole though which the
dough escapes il the form of a con-
tinous roll.
The dough on issuing from the ma
chine, is put into baskets, where it
remains until it begins to rise. 1t is
then divided into long loaves and
placed On a table until the moment
when it is placed in the oven.

NO canada THISTLES
IN RED RIVER VALLEY.
A Startling Declaration, BUT AbsoIut-
ly True.

There are no Canada thistIes in
aware, in any other county on the
Minnesota side of the Red River Val
ley.
To all of our readers this will be
a welcome if yet startling bit of
Jews We are, however, fully convin-
ced that this is true and to prove our
good faith, we hereby offer prize of
$500 in cash (and cash is pretty
scarce in this Office. too) for the first
specimen of the genuine Canada
thistle that will be brought in and
shown to the editor Of this paper.
Now, don't bring in any of these Or
dinary Manitoba thistles that are
found SO abundantly, and claim the
prize. They are not the genuine ar
ticle
The thistle we have in Kittson Co.
does resemble somewhat the Canada
thistle but lacks in some very essen
1al features, the main one being that
it does not have the spread root"
that the genuine Canada thistle is
equipped with. The spread root"
that distinguishes the Canada thistle
is a slender root that runs out from
the parent plant an inch or two under
the surface CT the ground and starts
a new plant, and starts new plants al
intervals Of from four to ten inches
in all directions We have examined
hundreds of thistle plants in this
county but have failed to find the
spread root"
The thistle We have here is COM
paratively easy to exterminate. A
single moving at the proper time and
a thorough blowing will do the busi-
ness. We have personal knowledge
of dozens Of fields that have been
cleaned up in one or two seasons
proper work and treatment.
With the genuine Canada thistle 1t
is different story The ever active
spread root" constantly starts run
ming plants and this makes it hard to
kill it out and wherever It has ap-
peared 1t has caused terror and con-
sternatfon to the farmers who have
had to fight against It's spread. That
variety of thistle came originally
i from lower Canada and spread over
Michigan, Indiana, Northern Illinois,
Southern Wisconsin and parts OF
Iowa. The thistle we have here came
!, across from Manitoba, and while Il is
a nuisance, we are thankful to state
j that It II not az bad as its prickiy
cousin from Ontario. News.
