ESSENTIAL FACTOR IN WHEAT
Best Hard Variety is Produced With
Limited RalnfalI-ChangInq
Character Of Grain.

The controlling factor in the pro.
duct1on OF wheat Is moisture West
ern Kansas and the plains country in
general produces the best hard winter
wheat because the rainfall In this
region Is limited. The soil Is rich In
mineral matter, producing wheat that
ripens quickly and makes a strong
-four.
In Minnesota and the Dakotas sim
liar conditions as to moisture and q
shorter summer produce the hard
spring wheats used in making flour
famous the world over for its high
loaf yield and well favored bread.
The best hard wheat is produced
with limited rainfall, but there are
seasons when the supply OF moisture
Is too short
II either the hard winter or spring
wheat belt experienced heavy rainfall
for single season the character OF
the wheat would change. 1t would
gain In starch and lose In gluten con-
tent. Occasionally there is a season
In the hard wheat section in which
the rainfall is far above normal, while
the wheat is filling out, resulting In
slow ripening. This produces vel
low berry"-a starchy, yellow kernel
that reduces the bread producing quail
tiles at the rate of IL or more one
pound loaves to the barrel

ROBBED CT SIS FOR "J0KE"

New York.-A holdup and robbery,

for certain young man OF Bayshore,

Edward l.. Valentine, a merchant.
closed his store shortly after midnight
and started to walk home. In dark
section OF Smith street he was sud
denly confronted by a man with a
handkerchief over the lower part Of
his face. The man held a pistol TO
Valentines head and demanded his
money. Valentine gave up SIS in
cash and the man vanished
Valentine felt sure he recognized
the voice OF the man, however and
in the morning he told his suspicious
to his friends. They were contem-
plating police action when In the eve
ming several young men called Valen-
tine out of his store and engaged him
in conversation. When he returned to
the store he found his SIS lying on
the counter.

DAIRY NOTES.

The dairy COW pays the biggest re-
turns for extra care.
Milk to be kept longer than over
night should be cooled to so degrees
or under.
Dairying is becoming one of the
most substantial industries conencted
with farming
Sore teats will also cause some
cows to switch their tails into the
mixers face.
By using alfalfa judiciously even II
1t must be bought at $3.50, cows can
be fed to earn money.
The good COW is the home builder,
the soil saver, the rich mans luxury
and the poor mans friend.
Watch the feeding of the calf, espe
cially of the young heifer, so that no
digestive disorders will occur.
Milk quickly takes up any kind OF
odor in the air If the temperature of
the atmosphere is the temperature Of
the milk
If cabbages are fed to dairy cows
after milking, they will not faint the
milk, as happens when they are fed
before milking.
When SOW suffers from chronic
bloat on feed that does not canse
bloat In the other COWS tuberculosis
often Is the cause.
1t is feeding at loss to supply the
protein COW needs entirely with
wheat bran when it could be furnished
In alfalfa at half the cost.
Be reasonable, don't expect Won,
COW to give you a large mess of rich
milk unless you furnish her material
to make 1t of, as well az a comfort.
able place to do 1t.
Do not let the sire run In the pas.
ture with the cows. 1t is unwise an
well as unsafe. There is NOTHING
that recommends the practice AMI
much that condemns It.

LIVE STOCK ON A DRY FARM
Homesteader Should Have Two Gown
and O.e or Two Brood Mares-Also
Brood Sow and Few Hens.

For some time after the home
steader locates on his dry farm, he
Is not going to keep much live stock
for time. His first effort will be
centered, and rightly so. on the growing
OF grain. But In time that must change.
Some live stock must be kept upon the
dry farm.
In what form will it be kept? 1t
Will not be easy to answer that ques-
ton, conditions vary 30 much. But
something may be said on it. When
the homesteader goes onto tho dry
farm, II he has family, he should
not fall to take with him his one cow
says the Dakota Farmer. Two will
answer his purpose better. He can
Craze them for nothing the first
summer on his own land If there
is no open range. He should have at
least one or two brood mares in his
outfit of horses, and these should be
carrying foal. They can aid in doing
his work and also in nursing the foals.
He should bring with him half a
dozen fowls and brood SOW. In this
way a large part of the living for him.
self and his family will be furnished
at but little cost The first season
he should grow enough food to carry
these through the winter.
In most instances, the plan followed
Is quite different The homesteader
buys his living the first season He
pays famine prices for it. Such ma
terials are always dear in new
country. Every effort, therefore, should
be made to avoid purchasing as far as
this may be practicable
1t should be remembered, however,
that live stock cannot be kept on the
dry farm in such numbers as on the
farm Of equal area in humid climates.
This cannot be done for the reason
that that the production Is less in the
line Of fodder and also in the line OF
pasture. The production in Dry
areas Is peculiar. The straw is Of
dwarfish cast, while the grain is usu.
ally abundant. The dry land farmer
cannot be too careful not to overstock
lest an unusually dry season should
find him i'll prepared to meet it.
