Distemper may be described as the
bugaboo conjured up to frighten and dis
hearten breeders In their undertakings.
That it is a formidable obstacle to sue
cess We freely admit; at the same time
we deny even that every dog must neces-
sarily suffer from distemper. though
most do.
On the other hand. 1t is quite possible
for a dog to have the disease more than
once, though this is rare. Most writers
on distemper agree that It is contagious:
that is to say, healthy dogs are likely to
be infected by contact with a disease
dog. or by matter given of, or excreted,
from a diseased body.
Symptoms of Distemper.
One OF the first observed symptoms of
distemeper Is a cough, and that of a
kind rather peculiar to the complaint,
for after the animal has coughed, he
retches. as II he had something in his
throat: becomes listless and disclined to
move the eyes half closing and having
sleepy look; and II the lids are turned
down. the inner lining will be found to
be Of q lark red color.
In q few days q watery fluid IL dis

soon turns into q thick purulent dis

cases by good deal Of fever, the tenn

solve the riddle Of love, and ten this
wonderful lover whether 1t Will be wise
for him to put out to sea with q ship
mate who goes with him only half heart
edly.
There is one advantage, however, that
the man has who marries q woman who
is not as much in love as he IL, and that
Is that he has a thousand times better
chance to win her with affection than q
woman has under similar conditions.
Practically, man never falls IN love
with his wife. Very often. almost al
ways, II the man plays his cards well, a
woman falls in love with her husband
There are many reasons why this should
be the case, the first and foremost of
which Is that all the circumstances of
life tend to draw a woman to her hus-
band, while they operate to separate a
man from his wife.
when woman Is married, her home
becomes her world, her husband its king,
Dis anairs Of the greatest import to her.
Concentrate Thoughts on Him.
She Is bound to concentrate her
thoughts on him, and 1t is in his power
to surround her with such tenderness
such sympathy, to make himself SO
subtly necessary to her that, before she
knows 1t, the tiniest sprig Of love in
her heart has grown into a spreading
tree that fills all her horizon. and under
which her husband may bask in peace
and Joy.
My correspondent fears that II he mar
ries a woman who is not as deeply in
love with him as he is with her, her cold
ness will blight and kill his affection.
This is groundless fear. On the con-
trary. the one infallible recipe for keep
ing a mans love at fever heat Is to
make the love chase never ending.
More love dies from fatty degeneration
Of the heart. because 1t gets no exercise,
than from any other cause 1t Is the
couple who are absolutely sure Of each
others devotion, who take no trouble to
please each other, who let romance and
sentiment go by the boards. who take
liberties in neglecting each other and
abolishing the amenities of life who sud-
denly wake up some day to find out
that all Of their romance il gone and
their dreams broken through.

DURUM OR MACARONl wheat

Durum wheat is generally grown as

1t has met with considerable favor. 1t
generally out-yields spring wheat and
resists drought splendidly. The great
est objection to growing macaront
wheat in this country has been the

indicate that Durum wheat has high
value for feeding purposes. being con-
siderably richer in protein than or

Farmer. 1t is so hard. though, that 1t
must be ground before being fed. We
have reason to suspect that n larger
amount of feeding nutrients can be
obtained from an acre of Durum wheat

son for Discrimination.

Professor Kennedy OF the Iowa
college. while in England few years
ago. expressed great surprise at dis
covering that butchers pay n higher
price for heifer beef than for steer
beef OF the same age and condition of
flesh.
Henry Wallace says this was also a
surprise to him the first time he went
abroad. He found that the butchers
were willing to give premium on
heifers over steers and We found that
In one or two districts OF England
butchers would buy only heifers II
they could get them.
The reasons given by the butchers
are that the grain OF the flesh is finer,
the bone smaller. and therefore the
heifer cuts up better than the steer OF
the same age and furnishes a better
capacity for beef. I'VE remember
when a boy at home.' says Mr.. Wal.
lace, when beef was to be killed in
the fall OF the year. mother always
insisted on killing n heirer. giving the
exact reasons stated by Professor
Kennedy as given by the butchers at
Liverpool-that the meat OF the heifer
was finer in the grain and better and
there was less waste"
There Is absolutely no sense or
reason for the discrimination made
against heifer beef in the United
States. With COW beef It is somewhat
different. for the reason that COW

BEST SOIL FOR DRY FARMING
Only Types Of Land Not Adapted Arc
Alkall, Heavy Gumbo or Light
Sandy or Graveily.

(By II. L. PATTERSON. Montana Sta
tion.)
During the past two. years we have
received large number of inquiries
as to the best type of land for dry
farming. There are number or dill
ferent types upon which farmers have
had good success by following dry
farming principles. The only types OF
soil that are not we'll adapted to dry
farming are alkali lands. heavy gum
DO lands. or light sandy or gravelly
soils. for the reason that they do not
have a good physical condition. The
clay and alkali soils are 80 fine In
texture that 1t is almost impossible
for the plants to make use OF the
moisture that these soils contain. The
sandy soils are SO open and porous
that they will not hold any Of the
water and so are not we'll adapted to
dry land farming. OF these two types
of soil the heavy clay and the sandy.
the former Is more desirable.
The subsoil Is important In determin-
ing whether land Is well adapted for
dry farming methods or not. The sub.
soil should be Of such n nature as to
hoSoip ~ anu hoiu q iai Sc ohoahs ~ ~
ter 1t is In the subsoil that we find
the moisture reservoir, and unless this
soil is of such a character as to hold
the moisture. we are going to have a
great deal of trouble in trying to dry
farm 1t.
The best type of soil for dry land
farming is a sandy clay loan. soil
that has the power Of absorbing and
holding large amount OF moisture
and that can be very easily worked.
and upon which the dust mulch can be
easily maintained. 1t is very difficult
to maintain a dust mulch upon a
heavy. stip. clay soil. whereas upon
sandy loan this mulch can be main.
tained without a great deal OF work.
The slope Of the land best adaptes
for dry land agriculture varies with
the different localities. Farmers. as
rule. prefer the land that slopes gently
towards the north or the northeast.
This. however. Is not the most impor-
tant point, but one worthy OF full con-
sideration when choosing a farm. The
north slope escapes the direct rays OF
the sun to degree. Is n trifle later
starting in the spring. which Is fire.
qucntly an advantage. and is generally
not apt to suffer from hot winds and
drought.
