RAISE MORE WHEAT.
This Is the Advice Of the Secretary Of
the State Millers' Association
Who Says the Price viii
Ra Hiph


There is no reason why Michigan
should not become one of the greatest
wheat raising states declared II. E.
Hooker, secretary of the state milleis'
association.
THE lower peninsula has all the
essentials for successful wheat grow
ing. 1t has the climate, tempered by
our surrounding lakes, and the soil,
which produce a fine quality of soft
winter wheat.
1T frequently happens that the corn
crop is failure in Michigan, and little
comment ia made, yet farmers persist
in raising corn. But when the wheat
crop is failure, great hue and cry is
made, and the result is an uncertain
crop in Michigan. This is not true and
if care is exercised in preparing the
ground, selection of seed, planting and
harvesting, wheat is as sure and profit
able crop as any.
1T would be we'll for wheat raisers
to observe the following:
l. Be particularly careful in the &C.
lection of the seed. Plant only the
best. Che long berry red variety is
the best adapted for this localty.) Free
from foul stuff and inferior kernels.
2. Dip or sprinkle the seed in a solu-
ton of blue vitriol or formaldehyde for
smut.
8. Fit the ground carefully and do
not SOW the seed until September 90, as
recommended by the state agricultural
college, thus avoiding the Hessian fly,
the greatest enemy.
"The use of the foregoing formulas
will insure fine crop of wheat.
War is going on in Europe, The
wheat producing countries will con-
sumo, if anything more wheat than
usual. They will produce much less
wheat than usual. 1t is up to the
United States to supply much of this
unusual demand for wheat in Europe,
and it is needless to state that cores
pondingly high prices for wheat will
follow.
1.-The wheat growers of this country
should take advantage of this unusual
situation and plant large acreage of
good wheat and reap the reward of
coming high prices"

Preventive Dentistry

The world-old adage. IAN ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure,
finds no more forceful application
than in the new dentistry of the
twentieth century.
Isn't the question frequently in the
minds of thoughtful people. How
can l keep my teeth sound until l
need them no more?" Keep your
teeth clean and prevent them from
decaying," is the answer the new
twentieth century dentistry gives.
The teeth are in greatest danger,
scientific dentists have discovered,
before the age of twenty.
The teeth of the average young
man or woman of twenty to twenty
five years, if examined by modern
dentist would be charted as follows:
First, large cavities in the grinders
or molar teeth in both the upper and
lower jaws; second. cavities in one
or two bicuspids tthe teeth in front
of the large grinders) in the upper
jaw; third, the nerves or pulps de-
stroyed by decay in two or three OF
the molars or bicuspids; fourth, cavi-
ties in one or two or three front
teeth; fifth. tartar and stains on all
teeth.-A. NJ. Nodine, in Woman's
World for June.

Little EIsa's Gift

1t was the day before Thanksgiy-.
ing. The children were coming to
school bringing parcels with them.
These parcels contained chickens,
turkey, fruit, vegetables, and candy.
The children were busy piling the
parcels in corners of the room. The
larger boys were to carry the parcels
to the poor homes. When all the chill
dren went out of the room there step
ped from her seat a little girl whose
name was Elsa. Little Elsa had
holes in her shoes and stockings. She
was very poor. In her hand she held
a small parcel. This she gave to her
teacher. who thought they ought to
send something to little Elsa's home.
The small parcel contained a little
piece of candy and a spotted apple.
which was carefully cut out. The
tears came up in the teachers eyes.
What do you think she meant when
she thought of the widows mite?"

For the Oily Complexion

In summer, more than in winter,
the pores of the skin must be kept
open. for their excretive work is
much increased. The two pints of
fluid a day which they normally ex-
crete is often increased to seven,
sometimes even to ten pints in warm
weather. And the effects of this on
the complexion is quite annoying.
Particularly to those who are inclined
to have an oily complexion is the
extra amount of secretion disagree
able, for no woman can remain hap
PLY unconscious of the shininess of
her nose and face, and powder will
only conceal it for a time. Women
thus afflicted must make frequent
use of water as warm as may be
comfortably applied and green soap,
to cleanse the face, after which an
astringent lotion should be used, says
the Woman's World for July.
One particularly good astringent, to
be applied on the oily complexion
after cleansing it, is composed of one
and one-half ounces of witchhaZel,
one-half ounce of tincture of benzoin,
one ounce of spirits of wine, and five
ounces of orange-hower water. Mix
the witchhazel and orange-hower
water, add to the other ingredients
which have been poured into a rather
large bottle, and shake we'll before
using.

The Kings Task

In King Ostermoore's palace of the
East country a golden drinking goblet
had been broken. He was very sad, for
it had been in the palace for many
generations.
King Ostermoore sent out twenty
heralds with a proclamation saying
that whoever could sew the goblet
with needle and thread would have his
daughter Fantina for bride and half
the kingdom for a doWry. Many had
come with different devices, but failed
and were cast in prison. There came
among them young man who
wished to see the broken goblet He
Was led before the king.
"Your majesty" spoke the young
man, wishes to have an impossible
thing done, but I will sew it together
if you will spin for me a thread from
sand"
King Ostermoore answered: You
are the first man who has spoken sem
SHY about this matter. 1t is impos-
Sible to sew a golden goblet with
needle and thread, and equally as i'm
possible to spin a thread from sand;
therefore you can wed my daughter
Fantina and have the dowry as we'll"
The young man was delighted. The
| princess turned away in scorn and
| would not consent. The young man
did not lose courage. He was a prince
in disguise. When he made it known
| the princess was surprised. After he
| had adorned himself with his costly
raiment the princess readily con-
| scented.
They were married soon after. The
feast lasted for twelve days. All
those who were cast in prison had
been freed
The prince and princess lived hap
PLY together ever after.

Many Varieties of Iris

Iris is in the same class as the
paeonies and phlox. It flowers from
May until August, and succeeds in
most any soil and position, but likes
rich soil and plenty Of water. The
Japanese Iris is divided into two
classes, the three and six pellated
flowers. While the six pellated blooms
are perhaps the showiest, the three
petals are more artistic. Iris flowers
are well adapted for table decoration
and for bouquets and baskets. They
must, however be cut as buds and
allowed to open up in water, says the
Philadelphia Record.
The Japanese Iris comes in all
colors-white, royal purple, crimson
and blue. The mixed varieties of Iris
are also fine. Some of these are
Cristata Excelsa, the Bride Orientalis
and Snow Queen. The German Iris is
the most desirable and easiest to
grow of the spring Towering, hardy
plants producing in May their snowy
flowers of the richest and most deli
cate tints. Some of the German va
rietles are Blue Boy, Edith, Gazelle,
Queen of May and Spectallis.
