Ancient History of Wheat.

The InduStrialist: Wheat was
cultivated in Egypt at least $500
years. At least some grains of the
bread plant we're found in brick
taken from the pyramid of Dasher,
built in 1859 B. C. Many of the
writings on the oldest monuments
in that country also tell of the
growing of wheat The Egyptians
called it "br' 1t was smaller grain
ed than modern wheat There are
many accounts of wheat seeds TAX
en- from mumimes found in the old
tOmbs. These seeds have been
planted, but they never have germ.
mated.
The Chinese also cultivated wheat
many years ago. In 200 B. c.
they instituted an annual ceremony
which the emperor and the princess
took part in the sowing of five
kinds of SEED. Wheat was one of
the grains that was sown, They
called it mai 1t, also, was very
small.
I Lake-dwellerS in ancient Switzer-
land grew wheat in limited quanti-
ties The name of their wheat was
'Triticum vulgaTe compactum mu-
ticum." which was about as large
as the anrients could manage.
I 1t is an unsettled question as to
where wheat first originated. Prob
ably it was in the Euphrates valley
or in some of the nearby regions.
From there it has spread over the
world and it is the greatest bread
plant today.

Pleased With Streets.

The majority of our citizens are
highly pleased with the oiled streets
and it is quite probable that oil
will be applied to some of the resi-
dent streets where traffic is heavi-
est. Some of the main streets lead
ing out to the main country roads
become very dusty in a dry time
and it is proposed to oil these if
money enough can be secured to
buy as much as a Car load of oil,
The oil not only prevents the dust
but prevents the surface of the
streets from washing during heavy
rains. 1t does appear that oiled
streets are a success in Monroe and
the money expended for that pur-
pure has been well spent, the only
trouble is. there is not enough of
them.

Little Brown Hands.

They drive home the cows from the
pasture,
Up through the long, shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in
the wheat fields
That are yellow with ripening
grain.
They find, in the thick, waving
grasses,
Where the scarlet-lipped straw
berry grows;
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson buds of the
rose.
They toss the new hay in the
meadow;
They gather the elder-bloom white
They find where the dusky grapes
purple
In the soft tinted October light
They know where the apples hang
rlpest
And are sweeter than Italy's wines
They know where the fruit haugs
the thickest
On the long, thorny. blackberry
vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds,
And build tiny castles OF sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea-
shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to
land:
They wave from the tall, rocking
treetops
Where the orioles hammock. nest
swings;
And at night time are folded in
slumber
BY a song that a fond mother
sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest
The humble and poor become
great;
And so from these brown-handed
children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
The pen of the author and states
man
The noble and wise of the land
The sword and the chisel and pal
cite
Shall be held in the little brown
hand M. H. Kout

A PuEF IN THE PAPER.

Grundy Democrat: It is more fun
to see man read puff on himself
in a newspaper than to see a fat man
slip on banana peel. The narrow
minded man reads it over seven or
eight times, and gets around to APP
propriate what copies he can. The
kind-hearted man goes around to the
Office and pays what he owes. The
successful business man who adver-
tises all the time and makes money
by it, Immediately starts out to find
the editor and the two walk silently
down the street, and the business
man takes sugar in his, and they
both eat a Glove or two, and life Is
sweeter and peace settles down on
their hearts for moment. Such is
the experience of a mustard seed
that fell on different ground.

TESTING SEED CORN.

Sac Sun: N. J. Wilson, one OF
the leading farmers of Coon Valley
township, remarked to the editor the
other day that he found it necessary
to replant his corn. Asked for the
reason, he replied that it was be-
cause he followed the Holden meth
cd too closely. He selected the seed
in the field early, and hung it in
the driveway of his corn crib to dry.
Having carried out all the condi-
tions prescribed by Mr.. Holden, he
thought his seed was safe, but, tc
make assurance doubly sure, he
bought a Holden seed tester which
showed the corn to be all right. Yet
it did not grow. 1t evidently had
not strong vitality, and termination
in the tester was a different matter
from termination in the ground in
cool weather. Mr.. Wilson, like many
other farmers, doubtless is conv;nc.
ed that John Cownie is right when
he says that only when a farmer
picks his seed early and fire-dries II
in the house can he be sure of It'll
vitality, and that he is right, also
in condemning the Holden seed test
er as unreliable.

RoTAscHILDs OF THE EAST
Mltsui Family Of Japan 10 Famous toc
UnsulIied Honor Of Their
Name.

The Mitsui family Of Japan have
been called the Rothschilds of the
East; but while the fame OF the lat
ter has gone abroad over the world.
says the Atlantic Monthly, the Nit
suis have remained practically un.
known except to few western mer:
chants who have had extensive deal
Mgs with the Orient.
The European family owes it's great
renown to the fact that for century
there has been no slightest stain up
on It's commercial honor. But its ca
reer, it should be remembered, has
been passed in world where BUSH
ness itself has been held in honor;
while the Mitsuis, engaged in pur-
suit utterly condemned by public SEN
timent, for three centuries, in spite OF
the demoralizing influence of the so
cial ban, have been trusted by govern
ment and people alike and have kept
the honor OF their name unstained.
Now, thanks to the new spirit AMI
mating the nation, they no longer
stand so conspicuously alone.
Other great commercial families are
being ranged with this one, their men,
bers not only enrolled among the
peers Of the realm, but ranking with
the merchant princes Of the west as
opponents of all that is honorable In
the conduct of mercantile affairs. To

(Ry l. &. zerbel.l

Great attention should be given to
the harvesting and threshing Of bar
ley. Too little care has been bestowed
upon this important operation as q
great deal Of barley has been damaged
by dew and rain or by improper hand
ling Of some kind, therefore, the sell
ms value has deprecated materially.
An important part il the time to
harvest To obtain the best results
barley should never be cut until It IL
good and ripe. often barley 10 cut too
green or not fully matured which will
make for mailing purposes a ninty
malt, lacking In color and flavor. II Is
also important not to leave barley un-
cut after 1t is ripe as 1t will discolor
easily by dew at that stage.
Barley Color Important.
The value OF barley for mailing
purposes depends on the color and
soundness. also on the test Of germina-

sprouted In the malthouse and prices
are paid for 1t accordingly. therefore
