THE CARE or WHEAT

Saved by Proper Handling

n. NJ. Banner. Agricultural Demon
strator OF the Santa Fe system, In
AN article to the press, gives out the
following information about wheat
harvesting:
Farmers OF the Southwest are now
about to harvest the largest wheat
crop on record. Labor viii be scarce
and plans must be made % handle
the crops to the best advantage.
There Is no question bat that the
larger part Of the crop win be harvested
with headers. but to wait for all Of
the crop TO become ripe enoaeh to
head would b foolish : large rnn-
Der OF grain binders are now in the
country. all Of which should be put
TO work at once. Many helds are
now ready TO cut with binders that
VIII not be ready for headers for
several days.
IAN wheat farmers know tina; grain
can be cut in very much greener
conditions with binder than with a
header, and the binder method makes
fully as good a quality OF grain. To
begin harvesting now with a binder.
rather than to wait for the grain
to ripen for header. means fewer
men IN the field for a longer harvest
ing period, less danger from storms
and less SCATTERING OF grain. all OF
which are desirable Under This meth.
cd many fields viii be had harvested
before the grain gets ripe enuogh for
heading.

company will have sufficient accom-
modations to take care of the meats
of the farmers in and around Douglas.
Heretofore in this section where thee
is only a limited period of cold wealth
er, the farmers have lost thousands Ct
dollars worth of meats each year.
The company is timely in that this
section of the state is undergoing
an awakening in raising meats of all
kinds, not only for home consumption,
but for the market. There is a num-
Der of hog and cattle raisers already
in Coffee county who will welcome
the concern.
G. W. Lott, of West Green, will
fatten and kill 200 hogs this winter
weighing from 200 to 500 pounds, be-
sides a large number of beef cattle
and sheep. M. E. Vickers, three miles
from Douglas, will fatten 300 hogs
during the winter weighing upon al,
average of 200 pounds, besides MANY
beef cattle. R. C. Davis, five miles
from Douglas, will fatten 80 hogs
weighing, perhaps, an average of 200
pounds, and Daniel Vickers will fat
ten something like so or rs head of
cattle.

Peace of Paris i'm 1853
Ends Great Struggle.

Peter was deposed by his wife, Cath
crime II, and the Russian troops were
ordered home. Sweden, too, withdrew
from the struggle. At the close OF
1862 truce was signed between Prussia
and Austria and the Peace of Paris in
1863 ended the struggle of two ex-
hausted nations.
Frederick retained Silesia and the
war brought no territorial changes in
Europe. 1t served only to establish
Prussia as a power Outside Europe it
changed the aspect of the world, bring
ing about the downfall of France as
a colonial power and making way fo-
the British empire in India.
To Frederick the only cost of the
war was an inflated currency system.
He soon remedied this and with finan-
cial ingenuity reclaimed thousands of
acres of waste land, established indus
trial improvements, constructed canals
and drainage.

Is Kaiser Wilhelm a reincornatio2
as well as a successor of Frederick,
the Great.
The characteristics found in one are
not unlike those possessed by the
other; the problems that confront the
one are much the same as those mas
tered by the other in the Great Seven
Years War of 1756-1763.
But can the great William measure
up to the standards of the great Fred
erick, the powerful war lord, the mar
velous financier and the wise ruler?
Frederick finished the seven years
war with military prestige of Prussia
largely enhanced, it's boundaries i'll
tact, no national debt and no increase
in direct taxes.
AS in this war the contest saw its
start in purely technical dispute and
before it's finish practically all Europe
had part in it.
Starts War With Austria
After Ascending Throne.
Frederick, soon after his ascension
to the throne, started a war with Aus
tria over the possession of SiIesia,
basing his claim to a large part OF
the country on an old transaction il
which he said Austria had played
greedy and dishonest part.
In the first and second Silesian wars,
1740-42 and 1744-45, he won Silesia.
His title was recognized at the treaty
of Aix-la-Chapelle in 174S.
Maria Theresa, ruler of Austria, was
bent upon the recovery of Silesia an
France and England had not yet set
tied the difference that arose during
the capture of the country. A de-
fensive alliance against Frederick had
been arranged between Austria and
Russia. The French and Indian war
started in 1854 in America. Two years
later France and England were fight
ing in the Mediterranean. Europe was
all set for great war. 1t came the
same year-1756.
Defies Silent Powers and
lnvades SaxOny.
Russia proposed to Austria the par
tition of the Prussian territories. The,
wary Frederick demanded of the pow
ers their intentions. Receiving no sat
isfactory answer he invaded Saxony
and met the Austrian advance in an
indecisive battle at Lobonitz. The Sa =
on army, after siege of some weeks,
capitulated at Pima, leaving Freder-
lex in possession of the country.
In 1857 the Diet of the German en-
pore declared war on Frederick Aus
tria, Russia and France completed a
new treaty of offensive alliance. Swed-
en- soon Joined the allies. A few more
declarations of war didn't bother Fred

His alliance with England was of no
great aid at the time, although the
statesman Pitt, was just taking hold
and starting the work that was to aid
Prussia. Frederick had only 5,O00,-
600 subjects. The array against him
was the most powerful Europe had
ever witnessed.
