HIGH PRICED WHEAT SEEMS PER-
MANENT

There is a general belief just now
that dollar wheat has come to stay.
The crop shortage in the Dakotas and
Manitoba caused a quick upturn in the
market as soon as the extent of the
damage was realized and prices advanc-
ed 20 cents in less than as many days.
Early in the crop season elevator men
and others fixed on so cents at Chicago
as a fair price for wheat and in the big
slump of June and July quotations fell
about 80 cents. There was an immedi-
ate rally, however, when the situation
in the spring wheat belt became known.
Dollar wheat in> Chicago means that
farmers throughout the western coun-
try will receive an average of 50 cents
at least, while nearer the seaboard they
will get upward of a dollar bushel
There will be less wheat for export
than usual, but the home demand will
be fully met. Had the hard wheat
crop turned out normal, the increased
acreage would have resulted In glut
in the market. Farmers would have
had more wheat to sell bu1 they would
be compelled to take 20 cents per bushel
less for 1t.
Extensive buying of wheat by millers,
elevator companies and prominent spec
ulators is evidence that the present range
of prices is natural one, though there
may be the usual lamentations.
Deliveries have become large both in
spring and winter wheat regions ana
prices, are well maintained. Farmers
seem to be in position to check sales
on any serious break in the market.
Considering the high price of live stock
and the fair quotations for grain, hay
and general produce, it will be found
that the American farmer Is holding his
own. Nearly all farmers in the wheat
belt of the west have an abundance OF
cattle and hogs which products insure
good income. regardless of a partial
failure in grain.
This Investigation is going on all over
the country, as much in the south as
elsewhere and 1t means the dawn OF
new era of prosperity in agriculture.
Just so far as mixed farming becomes
the rule, just so far is the success OF
the American producer resting on sound
basis.

WHERE THE cows SHOULD sa

Cows should never be MIXED in the
same stable or stall where they are fed
if it can possibly be avoided. 1t win
pay to provide a separate room in bad
weather and this room should be so ar
ranged that no dust or odors from tho
barn can enter 1t. In good weather cows
should be MIXED in the open air.
If cows are MIXED in the barn where
hay and other feeds are kept the hangers
should be filled several hours before
milking time and the floors well sprinkled
Just before milking begins.
The main thing Is to keep the dirt OUT
of the milk in the first place because
when 1t has once gotten in ma amount OF
straining will take all of it out. Run
ming the milk through a strainer does
not mean that 1t is made clean by the
process. OF course the best way is to
milk through strainer into a covered
pail as that keeps out the dirt.
OF course most farmers will say that
all this trouble is not worth while, but
it is. That is II is worth while il man
really wants to provide milk that is abso-'
lutely clean. OF course If he doesn't care
to do this and is willing to send to the
market foul and tainted milk. nothing igs
worth while. Just go ahead and millt
in any old way and any old place regard
less of dust, stable odors or any other
communicating elements, but this never
pays in the long run.

TIE, JApANEsE RADrsz.

The Sakurajima radish, which comes
from Japan, is becoming quite popular
in this country, and is now raised in
thousands of gardens. 1t will thrive in
almost any good soil that will grow
other radishes.' The seeds, which may be
obtained from any dealer. should be sown
thinly and covered lightly.
After the plants appear they must be
thinned vigorously, because these rad
ishes grow to be an enormous size, small
ones being from four to six inches in
diameter.
These radishes are at their best when
about half grown, as they become some

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT.

Now is the time to figure whether 1t
would be cheaper to build a comfortable
house for the hogs or supply the heat
this winter by feeding extra grain.
1t is a pretty safe rule to select breed
ing pigs from the largest filters. A pig
is a runt simply because it is starved.
Give him chance to stuff himself and
he will develop into as good hog as the
bunch
Never breed nervous high-strung sow
that is always ready TO jump and run
at the drop of the hat
Clean. sound oats make an excellent
ration for the pigs. If this is fed to them
regularly during the fattening period the
pork will be superior.

Best for Biscuits

"a prominent teacher in one of the Do.
mestic Science schools in Mississippi
writes that she is using Cottolene with
excellent results. She says:
For biscuits Cottolene is all that
could be desired. The biscuits are light
and flaky, with none of that disagree
able odor often found in foods short
ened with lard. Cottolene is also an
excellent medium for frying croquettes
and doughnuts. 1t gives them clean,
crisp, brown crust"
Other noted experts, such as Mrs.
Rorer and Marion Harland, have given
similar testimony to the merits of Cot
tolens. 1t not only gives better results
than lard but is much more wholesome
and economical as well.

WINTER OATS M TIE SOUTH.

Last fall tried test pIats OF the IoI-
lowing varieties of winter oats; Ban
croft. Appler and Rust Proof oats. They
were sown August Is with liberal ap-
plication of a good grade phosphate.
They were sown in the standing corn
After the corn was cut the balance Of
the field was sown to Virginia Gray
oats with light application of phos-
plate The oats were put in with
grain drill, neither of the three varieties
named stood the winter so well as the
Virginia Gray oats In fact, only few
punches of each of the new varieties
stood the winter The Virginia Gray
oats were sown about October 1, which
was very late for sowing oats.-A- ,.

VALUE OF HErrER BEEF.

Professor Kennedy, of the Iowa COLI
lege, while in England few years ago,
expressed great surprise at discovering
that butchers pay a higher price for
heifer beef than for steer beef of tho
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 heif-
ers 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 ars
that the grain Of the flesh is finer, the
bone smaller and therefore the heifer
cuts up better than the steer of the sanae
age and furnishes a better capacity for
beef. I'VE remember when a boy nc
home" says Mr.. Wallace, when beef
was to be killed In the fall of the year,
mother always insisted on killing a
heifer, 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 determination made against heif-
or beef in the United States. With COW
beef II is somewhat different, for the
reason that a COW that has produced
a number Of calves will not dress s-s
large a per cent OF beef and the animal
being older will not have the same ten
derness nor fine quality
A half a cent q pound, however, should
be ample to cover this shrinkagef where-
as a heifer is really entitled to prem
iun over the steer Of from quarter 20
half cent.

OATS STRAW FoR sHEEP.

II is an excellent plan for every IaE
mer to put UP every fall quantity OF
oats straw to help out in carrying the
sheep through the winter. Wheat s.law
will answer the purpose but 1t is not as

OF course straw is not an ideal feeG
for sheep. 1t contains little nutri-
