MONG the important crops in the
~ states Of the central west,
"A northwest and Pacific coast
are barley and hops, both Of
which require considerable care in
cultivation. The chief market for the
better grades Of barley is the mailing
industry, which supplies principally
the brewing and distilling trades. The
principal and almost exclusive market
for hops is the brewing industry.
For a number of years American
and European scientists have devoted
much inquiry to these crops for the
purpose Of deciding upon which prop
critics are conditioned their value to
the consumer.
With regard to barley, there is con-
siderable difference Of opinion, the
views of American and European in
vestigators diverging to an extent.
With regard to hops, scientific inquiry
has not yet proceeded far enough to
state with any degree of certainty
which are the leading characters Of
the plant that make up it's value to
the manufacturer who uses it.
Departments Of Agriculture Study
Barley and Hops.
The agronomists and chemists Of the
State Agricultural colleges and several
specialists Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture have devoted
great deal Of time to the study Of
harley and hons and their imnr0vo-
ment. They have been advising the
farmers to devote attention to the pro-
duction of those properties in these
crops which are most desired by the
consumer. In this work, however,
they have met with considerable diff
Guilty from the fact that they have
been unable to state positively what
those properties are that the consumer
desires.
In the purchase of barley and hops
the individual judgment Of the buyer.

based upon personal experience, has
been the controlling factor, and as the
individual judgment is often biased
by personal preference and even preju-
dice it has been difficult to define what
character of goods would best meet
the requirements Of the market.
l. Improvement of Barley and Hops.
A movement is under way to bring
about improvement in the growing Of
barley and hops and to lay down GER
tain standards by which they can be
valued regardless Of the personal equa-
ton.
At the present stage this movement
is crystallizing in an international bar
ley and hop exhibit, which will take
place Oct. IL to %, 1911, at Chicago,
in connection with the American Ex-
position of Brewing Machinery, Ma
terials and Products. For this exhibit
there will be available prize fund
Of over $4,000, which will be appor-
toned to the different varieties and
strains Of the crops with view Of CIV
ing the greatest possible encourage
ment to the farmers who raise them.
The growers who may wish to par
ticipate in the exhibit should address
the committee on awards, 1903 Repub-
lie building, Chicago, and ask for the
necessary application and entry blanks.
The committee on awards embraces
rot only a number Of the most eminent
experts among scientific men, growers.

ers of Seville.
The ringing Of bell is not, as q
rule, performance particularly trying
to the nerves. but there is one set of
bell ringers the members Of which
must know no fear. for a moment of
tremor would in all probability be for
them the moment of death. They are
the bell ringers of the Giralda, In Sc
vile.
When the city is to make merry on
feast days the ringers climb to the
belfry. and then by the aid Of rope
and steps cut in the wall of the tower
each mounts to the bell he Is to ring
and stands astride the shoulder of the
brazen monster. Then be presses the
bell with his feet, holding on the cross
piece ON which the mass Of metal Is
swung.
Gradually the great bell sways to

tum that swings the hammer. first
gently and then with increasing force
as the sweep Of the bell widens until
the air is trembling from the giant
blows that strike the massive sides of
the monster
The mere vibration Of the atmos-
phere as the huge bells ring out would
be enough to make an Impractical
ringer turn dizzy and fall from his
perch. But this Is not all. for many
bells are ringing in the belfry at the
same time in obedience to the move
ments of their riders. and the din Is
deafening.
Notwithstanding all this, the riders
bend and rise and fall with the action

The most extraordinary part of the
daring performance is the sight of a
bell ringer calmly swaying the bell
while it hangs far out of the belfry
over the city, for the outward swing

the seed, not only in the matter of
flaming out all dead and degenerate
berries, so as to seed only good and
live grain and produce a good crop
where no grains will fail to sprout,
but also because there has been a lack
of uniformity as to variety or strain.
This Is perhaps of more than ordinary
importance in the case Of barley and
is one of the matters that will engage
the attention Of the barley and hop ex-
hibitiOn at Chicago in October, 1911.
The barley which is used for mating
purposes IS put through an artificial
process Of sprouting in mass, in which
necessarily all grains are treated alike.
- stands to reason, however, that
here plump and thin grains, mellow
and finty ones, starchy and albuminOus
grains are all STEPPED and sprOuted
Under like conditions they will neces-
sarily grow differently and cannot yield
q uniform malt This causes serious
troubles to the consumer when he
works up the malt in the further proc
..sses Of manufacture and makes it
difficult for him to finish off a uniform
product. 1t stands to reason that

time of maturing, different action in

Pedigree Grain.
Different strains Of barley will grow
differently On different soils and in
different climates.
In order to produce the best crops
which will also be the most abundant
1t Is therefore necessary to use pure
strains, or, as the scientists call them,
pedigree" grain, where all the berries
are of the same variety or strain and
will behave alike under similar cOndi-
tons. It is also necessary to find by
experiment what particular strain Is
best suited to certain soils and ell

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT.

Their Relation to . Mans Chances For
Long Life.
The ideal insurance risk. from the
point Of view Of height, is said to be
from five feet seven inches to five feet
nine inches tall. According to the Ma
tional Fraternal congress. longevity
and build have close relation; the
greater the variation in height from
the above figure the greater the risk.
Brockbank says that tall men are
not so long lived as their brothers
whose heads are nearer to the ground.
not as good risks as stout men Of me-
dunn or below medium height, says
writer in American Medicine. They do
not bear acute illness so'well. and &C.
cidents to them are likely to be more
severe.
Risks over the allotted limit of
weight are especially liable to dia-
betes. heart affections. apoplexy. govt,
diseases of the kidneys and arterio-
sclerosis: excessive eating and abuse Of
alcohol are common among this class.
It Is stated that stout men under forty
are worse risks than those over forty
and under sixty. and that men who
were unduly fat while they were boys
are considered poor risks. especially If
the tendency is hereditary.
Stout men are better average risks
than their very thin brothers who are
liable to tuberculosis and disorders of
the nervous system. But for even the
featherweight there Is much consola-
ton. He bears acute illness better
than the heavyweight. and most OF
the people living beyond the allotted
threescore years and ten are Of light
build A slim. wiry. small framed man
is said to be better risk that thin

Ore Qepoaits.

Men sometimes dream Of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth, below
the reach of miners. but experts aver
that there is little or no ground to
believe that valuable metallic deposits
lie very deep in the earth's crust. Such
deposits. it is said. are made by under
ground waters. and owing to the pres
waters are confined to a shell near the
surface. With few exceptions, ore de-
posits become too lean to repay work
ing below 5000 feet. Nine mines in
ten, taking the world as a whole, are
poorer in the second thousand feet
than in the first, and poorer yet in the
third thousand.
