 Cut with mower if a binder is not available. Curing:-
 When cut with a binder:-
 Make the bundles small and not too solid.
 Put from six to eight bundles in a shock.
 As soon as the bundles are cured put in a stack or under cover.
 When cut with a mower:- Rake into windrows as soon as the leaves are we'll wilted.
 If the leaves are allowed to become bleached by the sun the quality of the hay will be great ly damaged.
 When the weather is clear the hay may be hauled directly from the windrow to the stack or to the shed as soon as it is suffic- iently cured.
 There is less danger of damage during the curing if well built shocks are made instead of leav- ing the hay in the windrows. When the shocks are dry they should be hauled into the stack or shed.
 Feeding: g:- (By H. E. Dvorachek, Animal Husbandman).
 Experiments show that so long as wheat or oat hay is not mold ed there is no danger in feeding it to stock. even though many of the heads may be smutted.
 It is dangerous to feed moldy hay. especially to horses.

Future.

In the vaults of the Mercantile
Trust and Deposit company, where

ties and other valuables have been
placed for safe keeping, twenty or
more violins of all descriptions have
been packed carefully away by their
owner in the hope that some day they
will make him independently rich,
Baltimore dispatch to the Philadelphia
Record states.
The owner is Frank Della Tore of
1929 North Calvert street, prominent
in society. The instruments do not
represent much value now, but 20
years hence. the owner says, there
isn't an instrument among them that
will bring less than $4,000 or $1,000.
Della Tore now is in England.
About eight months ago he was called
to Europe on business. and has been
there ever since. But for months be-
fore he sailed he occupied his time in
collecting all kinds Of violins and re-
making them. In this sort Of work he
is remarkably skillful. But it is the
old violin that produces the tone
which appeals to the trained ear of
the musician and commands high
prices. Twenty years hence, 1t is be-
neved, violins of Della Tore will be
classed with the best instruments to
be found in America.

Prize CANADIAN WHEAT
NoRTHERNERs EXPECT TO CAR.
RY OFF SWEEPSTAKES.
coIoradoans Have Good Chance to
Win Prize at international Soil
Products Exposition.

Denver.-Paul Gerlach OF Aliens,
Saskatchewan; Seager Wheeler OF
Rostron, and R. H. Carter of Post
Qu'Appell, are three of the Canadian
wheat growers who have exhibits to
the International Soil Products Expo
sition on the way from Canada. Sea-
ger Wheeler won the sweepstakes
premium last year at the International
Soil Products Exposition at Wichita.
The wheat which he thinks will carry
off the big prize this year is a bushel
of hard red winter wheat.
Henry Kruger of Beaver Dam, Wis,
is another wheat raiser who wants to
carry off the sweepstakes premium,
and there are hundreds of entries to
be made from Montana, North and
South Dakota and Kansas.
If Colorado wheat growers are lucky
they stand a much better chance of
winning big stakes than any of the
other states, as the Colorado wheat
that gets the sweepstakes premium
of $3.50 will have added to it the Colo.
RADIO premium Of $500 and then an
other $25 added to that for luck.
The $500 prize is offered by the In.
ternational Farm Congress for the
best bushel Of wheat, any variety, the
$3.50 in gold is offered by the Ma
.tional banks Of the city for the best
bushel of wheat grown in Colorado In
1915, and the $25 is offered for the
best bushel of wheat as a first pre-
MUM. Therefore, If the Colorado
farmer gets the sweepstakes he will
have $575.
