Serious Charge Against a Bell Ringer
From the Mars Hill Review

From the Mars Hill EcNleW.
Those who have charge of ringing
church bells should be paid enough
salary so they can afford TO buy a watch
that will keep nearly accurate time and
ring the bell on time. For several SUM-
days the Blaine Church bell has been
rung from fifteen to forty-five minutes
too early, causing people TO doubt an
honest watch or clock and scamper TO
church, with the result that they sit
there all that extra time. The choir has
been pulled in there half an hour early
on account OF irregular ringing of the
bell, and the practice ought to be stop
ped. 1t is just as essential 70 ring a
church bell on time as il is TO blow a mill
whistle on time or run railrad train on
time. Let us have more regularity in the
ringing OF our church bells, so that peo-
pie will not be fooled.

Question Of Clipping Horses.

Clipping is not commonly practiced
and may not be generally advisable.
However there are cases where 1t Is
,ustifiable. Many horses grow long,
heavy coat during the winter. When
they are put to work the coat holds
heat. retains the sweat. and after the
horse has stopped work may cause
chills Sometimes long. heavy hair
will not dry out entirely all night.
Clipping would prevent all the evils
attendant upon long hair
However. It has dangers of its own,
A horse suddenly relieved OF his long
coat is very sensitive to exposure and
chilly freezes. II he Is clipped the
driver will have to be extremely care
full blanket well whenever the
team is stopped, and to work the
horse In n blanket IL the weather
turns cold.

NEW GRAIN OF HARDY MERIT
for Great Plains Region Lat
ter Stands Up Well.

Speltz and emmer are really two dis
tinct grains. and differ practically as
much as the pear differs from the
apple Emmer Is German name. and
We have no English equivalent Speltz
is a plant OF similar appearance. but
quite different Both emmer and
speltz are grown In Russia. and It is
from Russia that the emmer has been
introduced into the great plains region,
stretching from the Canada line TO the
Gulf OF Mexico west OF the 9Sth me-
ridian. where the annual rainfall is
only from Is to 20 inches.
Emmer is really a species OF wheat.
with heads almost always bearded.
very compact. and much tlattened on
the two-ridged sides. 1t is a hardy
plant resists drough and rust. and
is recommended by Professor Carleton
in Farm and Home as a valuable grain
In the section above mentioned. II is.
in fact grain for the semi-arid re
gions. but often compares we'll with
other crops in the more humid sec
lions because II stands up well. Is
comparatively rust. smut and fungus
proof. and drought resistant
It is probably the least exacting OF
all the grains so far as cultivation Is
concerned. II should always be
drilled. at about the same rate pei
acre as oats and as early as possible
as Il will stand a good degree o
spring frost.
The yield is usually from 20 to ~
bushels per acre although as high a.
60 have been obtained. Its average
yield probably does not differ mucl
from that of oats. and it is preieraol'
where oats are liable TO rust or lodge
Its feeding value is probably less thai
that of either oats or barley
