Stories From the War Zone

PETROGRAD, May 14.-(By Mail
to New York.)-The story of the
charmed life of Lieutenant Kallisky.
was told here today.
With it was told the bravery Of a
young Russian student who Joined
the army when war broke out and
how he won three orders of the Cross
of St George
Kallisky is known as the orphan
gunner"
At Gumbinnen three German bat
teries concentrated on the gun serv-
| ed by Kallisky and a number OF com
rades All the horses and all the men
I fell but Killisky. He retired but
returned with thirty soldiers and saw
ed the gun. After that the Order Of
st. George Fourth class) shone on
Kallisky's breast.
Kallisky's battery again moved to
the vicinity of Goldnap where onco
again the German gunners killed all
| but Kallisky. He was again rein
forced and saved the gun. This time
he earned the order of St. George
| (third class
Then came the retreat from the
Augustov forest. Kallisky's famous
gun became mired and he was forced
to spike it and flee. The orphan
gunner" then became a scout Near
Lipsk with his brother and two other
soldiers Kallisky negotiated a dar-
ing reconnaissance across the River
Bohr. His brother and one soldier
were killed but again Kallisky escap-
ed. He returned to headquarters
with valuable information and the
commander pinned the Order of st.
George (second class. on his breast.
Kallisky is still scouting az the
front and Petrograd is waiting to
hear that he has received the Order
of st. George (first class.)

cally the same as the pressure down ward at the same depth. down from the top. A cubic foot of wheat weighs 49 pounds. The weight of one cubic foot of wheat on top of another is 9s pounds. and the pressure on the floor of a bin when the wheat is ten feet deep Is 490 pounds per square foot.
 If the joists are placed foot apart and the bin is the same width as the driveway, then the weight on each joist would be 1900 pounds. and the pressure outward on the studding would be practically the same at the floor. The pressure outward on the bin five feet down from the top. when the bin is full. would be 2,f50 pounds per square foot.
 These figures are mentioned to em- phasize the importance of making the center part of a two-story grain house strong enough to support the load. The corn wings may be braced from the center studding, so that the corn cribs may be built of lighter material.
 Eight feet in width seems to be established as the most satisfactory size of crib to cure corn. The amount

CERTAIN DRY FARMING CROPS
Flax Can Be Grown Successfully When Used in Rotation System
 Subject to Soil Disease.

CBy ALVIN KAISER. Colorado Expert
 mcnt Station)
 Flax. next to winter wheat. is prob ably one of the most certain of the dry farming cash crops. Owing to the fact that it is subject to certain plant and soil diseases. fax cannot be con- tinuously grown with safety upon the same land. To be grown successfully in a permanent system of farming. it must be grown as a rotation crop. Where fax constitutes one of the per. nIanent crops 1t shouldn't occupy the land oftener than one in four or five years. When so alternated it Is pos sible to keep the land free from dis eases. provided the seed flax is prop erly treated with the formaldehyde treatment to prevent the spread of the disease through seed.

SOME ADVANTAGES
 OF SHEEP RAISING
Animal Produces Both Wool and Mutton - Rapid Monetary
 Returns Are Received.

A few sheep should be kept On every farm as they will return good profits with very little care or ex- pense. Some of the advantages in keeping them are:
 First-The sheep is dual purpose animal, producing both ~ooi and nut ton.
 Second-The initial expenditure is small Every farmer can well afford the investment of the necessary cap ital in a few sheep.
 Third-Rapid monetary returns are received, the wool clip and the lamb crop being salable annually.
 Fourth-Expensive buildings are by no means necessary. A warm lambing pen is required. but for the aged sheep shelter shed to protect them from the winter winds Is alone sufficient.
 Fifth-Weed destruction represents another asset. Sheep will eat and rel ish almost every class of weed.
 Sixth-Sheep admittedly improve soil fertility. Their manure is rich and uniformly distributed.
 Seventh-Except at certain seasons of the year. less time and attention need be bestowed upon the care of sheep than in the case of almost any other animal without thereby endan- gering successful results.

at the sides are made of lighter mate rial
 The center driveway is ten feet in width, and the grain bins above occupy the same amount of floor space. This center driveway has a solid concrete floor made with a smooth. hard sur face for easy shoveling and sweep ing.
 For the easy handling of grain for cleaning and grading purposes, the flaming mill is placed on this floor, where 1t is driven by belt from the power, and the grain is spouted to 1t from the different bins, so it may be cleaned and graded and returned to the bins without the use of O shovel.
 The grain spouts conduct the grain to the flaming mill. and the elevating machinery carries it back. Farmers in this way make a good grade of wheat that is acceptable without dock ing at the railway elevators, and at the same time they select out a small percentage of the largest and plump est grains to save for seed. Such seed is worth double. or possibly ten times the market price, and the extra value Is secured at almost no expense.
 The corn crib wings built at the sides are eight feet wiGe and 26 feet in height. The building is made long

WHEAT SEEDING PLAN
Early, Deep Preparation Is Al.
 ways Advisable.
Time for Seeding Must Necessarily Vary According to the Season. Clean. Pure Seed Is Espe-
 eialiy Recommended.
By II. M. BANNER. Texas)

By II. NJ BANNER. Texas)
 We all know that early, deep prepa- ration for wheat is advisable. Ground that has been well plowed or listed in July or early August and then has been well cared for since, will insure better crop than that prepared later August blowing or listing is better than that prepared in September Ground prepared after September and at the risk of not making as good crop as an early. deep and well-packed seedbed. This late preparation should be well packed by the use of the subsurface packer. If this cannot be obtained. the common smoothing harrow used two or three times over the field, immediately after the blow. will do lots of good. The narrowing and tramping of the horses will firm the ground very much. We must re- member that wheat requires Q firm seedbed.
 The time for seeding wheat must necessarily vary according to the sea- son. Our best wheat crops come from sowing from October l to October 20. providing the season is favorable. Sow ing as late as December 1 often pro duces good results under favorable conditions.
 Too much cannot be said in favor wheat which will be used for seeding this fall is badly mixed and is of an inferior quality. It pays to SOW good seed, even if it has to secured slightly above market prices. It will pay to run all seed wheat through the flaming mill. Turkey Red and Kharkof wheats will be found as good varieties as can be obtained for our conditions. These are both hardy winter varieties of eI- cellent milling and good yielding quail ties. The most Of us continue to make the mistake of sowing too much seed. For our hard lands. 30 pounds of seed to the acre is sufficient; if the ground has been well prepared 25 pounds per acre is usually sufficient. We must give our wheat chance to stool
 It is a good plan to treat all seed wheat for smut, whether the wheat ap- pears to be free from it or not. The formalin treatment is the most reli- able
 Sow all wheat with some good, re liable grain drill and cover with the press wheel attachment. if possible. The press wheel attachment firms the ground immediately around and above the seed. and insures it coming up bet ter. The seed should be sowed deep enough to come in contact with moist soil, but this should not be over two to four inches in depth. Wheat can be sowed slightly deeper in sandy soils than in heavy or tight soils.
 Let us SOW smaller acreage and do the work right, rather than to SOW land that has been but half prepared. We cannot afford to "hog-in" our wheat.

of humidity in the air in the fall varies in the different farming sections. but it is good plan to provide crib that will give the greatest amount of ven tilation possible to secure at reason able cost
 Ventilation in a two-story corn crib nay be helped out by using woven wire corn mesh inside of the stud ding. This prevents the ears of corn from stopping up cracks between the wooden slats. When wire mesh is used it is not necessary to have any wood en slats on the inside partitions. Slats look better on the outside of the build ing. and they prevent the rain and snow from blowing in.
 It is recommended that the s.ats shall have beveled edges so placed that the opening slopes down and out

TELLING THE AGE OF HORSES
Most Easily Determined by Cups in the Teeth-Front Teeth Perma-
 nent at Four Years.

The age of a horse is most easily determined by the cups in the teeth. At four years. the horse has his per. manent front teeth. At five. there are deep black cavities in the centers of all lower nippers. At SIX, these cavities disappear in the two center lower nip pers. Two more lose their cavities for each year to the eighth. and then the two center upper nippers lose their cavities. and each year two more. un. til at the age of ten the teeth are all smooth. or retain only a small black speck. After the age of ten the length of the teeth and tushes must be judged even then the age can be determined only approximately.
