Difference In War Declarations.

There was a great difference in the
manner of commencing a war cen
turtles ago to what there is now. Now
the blow is frequently struck before
the word, and there is no obligation to
issue formal declaration at all, the
act OF war constituting the declaration
But in medieval times no war ever be-
gan without formal declaration by a
herald, who, in most leisurely man
ner, breathed defiance on the part OF
his royal master, exchanged innumer.
able bows with his enemies. and de-
parted in as dignified manner as he
came.

SAVING THE SOIL MOISTURE
Mulch Blanket on Surface VIII Pre-.
vent Evaporation Through
Cracks and Insect Holes.

Moisture is conserved or prevented
from escaping through surface cracks
and insect holes by maintaining soil
mulch blanket on the surface. This
can be done In corn by running a
mulch harrow between the rows or by
using surface cultivator. The mulch
should be formed as soon as the
ground begins to dry or bake after
rains. Unless the farmer is watchful,
one or more inches of water will es-
cape during one hot. windy day.
In grain fields the mulch can be
formed either with harrow or a cor
rugated roller. The harrow gives the
best results in hard ground where the
roots are deep. but II the soil is loose
the corrugated roller forms a retain.
ing mulch and at the same time packs
the soil about the grain roots. Either
implement can be used to good profit
even when the grain is beginning to
Joint.

MOISTURE IN WHEAT
Grower Must Receive Market
Value for Product.
Importance Of Having Grain Receive
Fair Treatment Has Been Lost by
Farmers In Seml-Arld Section
Buyers Set Standard.

The western grain grower Is begin
ming to realize that II is not only
necessary to grow his grain, but that
he must receive full market value for
his product. In the past he has ig-
nored the Importance OF having his
product receive fair treatment In the
grain markets OF the world. The buy
ers at the great central wheat mar
kets attempt to standardize the grain
brought in by classifying them as NO.
l, 2, 3, etc. and they base their classi-
fication almost wholly upon certain
physical characteristics such as
weight, hardness, plumpness, color OF
berry, etc, characteristics which may
not be the controlling ones in deter
mining the value of the Wheat for
flour production, writes Robert Stew
art in Denver Field and Farm. In
fact they may often mislead the buy
er. II would seem that reliable in
formation regarding the actual moist
ure content of the wheat and the pro-
tein content and actual baking value
of the flour would be more reliable
guides.
The wheat of the arid west is not
receiving the consideration due 1t at
the great grain markets of the coun-
try. 1t is regarded as having poor
quality from the millers' and bakers
point OF view, and is merely classed
as western red or western white. This
is a condition which must be correct
ed, and the growers must see that
this is done. But the farmers OF a
given district must first unite In grow
ing a few varieties of wheat having
the combined properties CT high yield,
good milling and good chemical char
acteristics. The farmers of the In
termountain region must overcome
the stigma of growing heterogeneous
mixture OF grains before they can re-
ceive the treatment which should be
accorded them because of the high
quality of our product. The millers
are very keen on picking up things
of this kind to urge as objections so
as to cut down the price OF the grain.
The -four produced from the winter
dry-farm wheat has a slightly lower
moisture content than that produced
from the other kinds of wheat. The
protein content of the flour produced
from the wheat receiving the greatest
amount of irrigation water is 3.11 per
cent lower than that produced from
spring dry-farm wheat and 2.01 per
cent lower than that produced from
dry farm winter wheat. In case Of the
irrigated varieties of wheat as the
amount of water applied decreases the
protein increases. The protein con.
tent of the flour produced from wheat
which received no irrigation water is
one per cent greater than that pro
duced from wheat receiving an appli
cation of 25 inches, Notwithstanding
the fact that the seed wheat in both
cases was the same and the non-irri
gated wheat was grown on land which
had been irrigated in previous years
The moisture and dry-gluten content
Of the -four produced from the irri
gated wheat is considered lower than
that produced from either spring Oh
winter dry-farm wheat.

Ratio In conoress,

The ratio of representation in the
lower house OF congress at Washing
ton has steadily changed since the
1889, when the Constitution began its
work. the ratio was 10000 to the rep
resentative. In 1910 the ratio was 210..
900 to the representative. If the ratio
did not rise the members of the lower
house would in time become too nu.
merous for business. 1t is for the pur-
pose of keeping the membership with.
in reasonable bounds that the ratio is
made to keep pace with population.

Greek Meets Greek.

The two oldest inhabitants were
very ignorant, neither OF them being
able even to tell the time of day. A
friend of Uncle Ben's gave him a

One day, before the crowd at the cor.

jealous of such wealth and wishing
to embarrass his rival, said: Say,

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood Is a try
ing one TO most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when It is over
her system has received a shock from
which 1t is hard TO recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change In the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
