Kitchener Wheat

Some years ago Lord Kitchener's
name was given to a kind of wheat
that was introduced by him into South
Africa. The story is told in the Daily
London Chronicle. While Kitchener
was in India some of the acquaint-
ances he had made in South Africa
wrote to him that their wheat was SUI
fering from rust and that they had
heard that Tibetan wheat was immune
from this disease. Could he send
them a few bushels7 He sent the
wheat and that was an end Of the
matter, as he thought.
Some years afterward he was at
Nairobi, and saw a few Of
growing wheat, named Kitchener
wheat. He learned that the seed had
come from q part Of South Africa,
1900 miles d~istant-the offspring of
the marriage of his Tibetan wheat
with a native variety. $50" said Lord
Kitchener, "just as my grandfather,
Doctor Chevallier, gave his name to a
famous barley, mine is nov attached
to a special kind Of wheat"

BRIEF

If a baby had the appetite of a young
potato beetle it would eat from SO to
100 pounds Of food every "a hours. If
a horse ate as much as a caterpillar,
in proportion to its size, it would con-
sumo a ton Of hay every "a hours. A
caterpillar eats twice its weight of
leaves every day, but a potato beetle
devours every day at least five times
its weight of foliage.

Worth KNOWING.

Gumboils are most painful and re-
suit generally from a decayed root,
which causes the inflammation and abb
scess that resolves itself into a gum
boil. Foment the outside of the face
with a hot camomile and poppy head
formation and apply a small white
bread-and-miIk poultice to the gum
boil. Renew frequently. So soon as
the pain and swelling have dlsap-
peared it is best to have the tooth re-
moved. In cases where decayed and
liberated roots have been allowed to
remain, disease Of the jawbone has re-
suited. Usually when the sufferer
takes cold there will be u renewal Of
the Inflammation, pain and annoyance.

Musical instrument OUTPUT.

American manufacturers of musical
instruments, with an annual output
valued at about $4,000 1000, export
only 100000 worth annually to for
eign countries. American pianos are
chiefly exported to Canada. where they
constitute about 90 per cent of the to-
tai imports of that class to Great Brit
ain, for reshipment to other parts Of
the world, and for reshlpment to Cen
trail and South Americn. Our player
pianos are sent in about equal num-
bers to Australia, England, Italy and
Argentina, and in much larger quanti-
ties to Canada.
