The Color of Jade,

The idea Of jade possessing the vir-
tue of bringing the wearer good for
tune arose in China. The best speci-
mems represent all the hues and effects
Of sea foam, but these are eagerly
snapped up by collectors and seldom
come into the public market. There is
another cause for the popularity of
jade. It's peculiar green tinge has the
effect of making the human skin look
very white. In this connection the
quality of the stone is of no account
so long as the color is there. Indeed.
many of the less expensive jade orna-
ments are made from chips of the
stone which contain noticeable flaws

PROFIT IN WHEAT GROWING
Consumption of Bread Continually on
the Increase.


the Increase.
Wheat growing has been on the de-
cline in the Northern states for some
years, owing to plant diseases and
insect pests, and also to the fact that
live stock raising has been increased
and that some Of the land has been
required for this purpose. The con-
sumption of bread made from wheat
-four is continually on the increase.
however, and the indications point
strongly toward the possibility of
profits from wheat when grown in
combination with other crops or in
rotations. Yields of twenty-five or
tbirty-ive bushels per acre of spring
wheat have been obtained where a
good rotation has been followed and
where proper conditions for wheat
growing have been maintained.
Wheat does not deplete the soil
fertility more than other grain crops
and the profit from growing the crop
is greater on the average than from
most of the other cereals. Where
good seed is sown and the land is
properly prepared there is no reason
why crop of wheat once in four or
five years cannot be very we'll fitted
in to the farming scheme. Farmers
will do well to pay attention to proper
conditions for wheat growing and
will find good profits from the wheat
crop in most years, If the land is in
condition to yield twenty-five to thir-
ty-five bushels per acre. - Andrew

TREATMENT OF STOCK
Affected WITH LICE
ChGapRGm0dios CaretuIIyAppIisd
May Save Serious Loss.
DIPPING BEST WHERE POSSIBLE
by C. C. PALMER, University Farm
St. Paul.


ST. Paul.
The presence of lice is manifested
in all animals by signs of itching, the
intensity Of which depends on the
number of parasites.
AS a general rule they do not pro-
duce serious results, but occasionally
and on certain animals they cause
loss of flesh, falling of the hair, and
a general unthrifty condition.
On the horse, lice are usually found
in the regions of the name and fore
top, also near the root of the tail. In
some cases little elevations or tumors
may form on the skin beneath which
are numerous masses of lice.
On cattle they occur in two FORMS
One species covers the whole body
and another infests the ears, the back
of the head, the upper part of the
neck, and the region along the back
and loins. On cattle suffering from
lice we often see large hairless patches
and a thickening of the skin.
In case of sheep, lice cause a fall.
from ewes to lambs, which they some
times torment so much as to cause
serious emaciation.
In pigs that are infested with lice
the skin is marked by slight red ele-
vations of various dimensions. The
itching is very severe and if the lice
are present in large numbers death
sometimes results, especially in very
young pigs.
!. !. ).
TREATMENT-In long-haired ami
mails, such as the horse, dog and
sheep, removing the hair will assist
in getting rid of the lice. Where a
large number of the smaller animals
are affected eradication is best accom-
plished by dipping the animals in an
emulsion of or 10 per cent of cresoI
or creolin in water, or in a decoction
of tobacco. Where only few, as the
larger animals, are affected the fol.

"French Briar, IL q Joke.

From the Kansas City Star
Pipes are the hobby Of L. Chapins Co
moy, of London, who is at the Hotel Bal
timore.
THE joke of the b-iar pipe business Ia
that they aren't briar at all" says Mr.
Comoy.i My great-grandfather was a
pipemaker many years ago in a little
town OF Saint Claude, in the Jura Noun
tains in France. He made some pipes
from the roots Of the brueyre tree and
went to England to sell them. His Eng
lish was so bad they understood him as
saying 'briar.' and the pipes have been
called that ever since.
1--WE get our woods from Sicily and
make the pipes in England. The roots
take from eighty to a hundred years to
develop. and now that the forests are
about worked out we are facing a posi-
BILE famine of pipes. But the Balkan war
may solve the matter, for we expect that
new forests in Turkey and in Asia Mino-
will be opeped."
