wish. When certificates of baptism
are given, It is customary to mention
the old name as we'll as the new one
given. Muhammad is often changed to

UNCLE SANS BIG WHEAT FARM
The total acreage of wheat this year
is 60,000,000 acres. This is equivalent
to the total acreage of the following
states: Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut. New York and Pennsyl-
vania.
On this great wheat farm it is esti-
mated that 100000 men have been en-
ployed this season. who have received
at the least calculation S1,S00,000 for
each weeks service in the fields. At this
writing wheat is quoted in the Chicago
market at $1.05 per bushel, but to call
it 81 will make it easier figuring. That
would give us for the 1915 crop value
of $950,000, ,000.-THE CHRISTIAN HER

WHY SWEET CLOVER
IS VALUABLE PLANT
Makes Excellent Pasture for All
Kinds Of Live StOCk-RareIy
Causes BIOat.

Sweet clover, or white Bokhara
clover, is a perennial leguminous plant
of tall shrublike growth. Kansas Ex-
perimental Circular No. A says:
"Sweet clover makes excellent pas
ture for cattle, sheep, horses and hogs.
1t very rarely causes bloat, and for
this reason is preferable to alfalfa for
pasturing stock. Because of its vigOr-
GUS growing habits sweet clover will
pasture, especially on the poorer type
Of soil, more stock per acre than most
other pasture grasses or legumes.
Sweet clover is about equal to alfalfa
and red clover in feeding value, and
stock pastured OF it make, gains that
compare favorably with those secured
on the latter crops.
"Sweet clover can be used to a good
advantage in supplementing other pas
ture. 1t produces early and late graz
ing, survives the midsummer drOughts,
often furnishing succulent pasture dur
ing the time regular pasture grasses
are dormant, and will produce fairly
well on soils that would otherwise be
practically barren"

CROP ROTATION TO
MAINTAIN FERTILITY
Value of Practice Is Shown by
Wheat Yields at Ohio Exper-
pertinent Station.

The value Of crop rotation in main
tanning soil fertility is shown by wheat
yields at the Ohio experiment station
at Wooster. Where unfertilized wheat
has been grown continuously, year aft
er year, it has yielded only IN BUSH
els per acre, as an average for 20
years. By growing the crop in FIVE
year rotation of corn, oats, wheat,
clover and timothy, this yield has been
increased AZ per cent. In a three-year
rotation of corn, wheat and clover, a
gain of 90 per cent in yield has been
realized.
On manured land wheat in contlnu-
Gus culture has yielded less than 19
bushels per acre. In the flve-year
rotation it has given % bushels per
acre where manure has been applied
to this crop, and in the three-year
rotation wheat following manured
corn, the wheat itself receiving no
manure, has averaged 20 bushels per
acre.

IS PRODUCT OF VENEZUELA
Poison Gases Used in Warfare Are
Made From SabadiIIa, Grown Only
in That Country.

The asphydating and tear-produc,
ing gases used in the war are made
from sabadilla, a product exported
only from Venezuela, according to an
American consular report from that
country.
Sabadilla, meaning barley, is the
name of a plant of the lily family,
botanically called veratrum sabadilla
retztus, occurring only in Venezuela
and Mexico. The highly poisonous
seeds have long been used Ia medicine.
While nothing is known In Venezuela
as to the use Of the alkaloid product
of the seeds in the making of war
gases, it Is a fact that sabadilla dust
irritates the eyes, the throat and the
nose so much that labOrers working
with it are obliged to wear protecting
masks.
The first importation from Vene-
zuela was made to Hamburg % or 30
years ago. The foreign demand has
never amounted to more than 5000
sacks annually.
Sabadilla seeds and all preparations
compounded from them have been de-
clared contraband by Great Britain.
The substances produced from the
seeds are cavadine, or crystallizeG
veratric, an alkaloid, veratric acid,
and sabadalline, which is an amor
phus, pleasant smelling alkaloid that
accelerates the beating Of the heart.

SOUND APPLES ARE
ALWAYS IN DEMAND
Cause of GIut in Market in Fall
Is Lack of Spraying, Says
Nebraska Expert.

The chief cause of a glut of apples
and, consequently, the practice of feed
ing apples to hogs, is lack of spraying,
according to a Nebraska horticultural
expert. Sound apples, the result Of
spraying, can be placed in cold storage
because they will keep. But the apple
grower who has not sprayed his apples
finds them wormy and unfit for stor-
age. So he, via thousands of others,
throws his perishable apples on the
market at the mercy Of dealers and the
public.
He takes what he can get because
he must sell. You seldom hear of a
glut of apples late in the winter, and
the winter and spring are the times
when the man who raises sound apples
sells them and gets the money.

.PRUNE FRUIT TREES
AFTER LEAVES FALL
More Severely Work Is Done More
Likelihood of SproutS-Some
Essentials.
By LEONARD G. HEBRON, Department
Of Horticulture, Oklahoma A. and M.
College, Stillwater.)

By LEONARD g. HEBRON, Department
of Horticulture. Oklahoma A. and M.
College, Stillwater.)
When all the leaves have fallen from
the trees and the wood has ripened up
in the fall is the time for pruning.
There is no way of absolutely control
ling sprouting after pruning. The more
severely you prune the more likely you
will be to have sprouts, for the trees
have stored up a quantity of food and
are going to make use of it some place.
If a large part of the old wood has
been cut off, the part that remains will
probably make a stronger growth than
it would had all the old wood remained.
Still there is always a tendency for
a pruned tree to have sprouts. Some
varieties are much worse than others
in this respect. If very desirous of
having the trunks of the trees smooth
and without branches, the only thing
to do is to rub the young sprouts off
continually while they are young.
After an orchard is established, sew
eral things are necessary in order to
keep it in good shape and to keep it
bearing prOfitably. Thorough and per-
sistent cultivation, regular pruning and
spraying and thinning of the fruit in
case of large crops are all essential.
The cultivation should start just as
early in the spring as possible and con-
tinue until the last of September. The
disk harrow and the acme harrow are
the two best orchard cultivators. If
these are used carefully it will not be
necessary to turn the ground with a
plow very often.
