Indian Babies Score High

Some of the Indian babies shown
at the recent baby contest in Fair.
view, Oklahoma, scored high in the
examination conducted under the
direction of agricultural and me-
chanical college professors. Stelle
Mixhair, ten months old, and Mary
Mixhair, sisters, were given marks
of 81 and 80. The Indian babies
would have scored even higher had
it not been for the roughness of
their skins and the lack of groom
ing. The Indians took great inter-
est in the baby show. The mothers
exhibited much pride in their child
ren, asking many questions about
the way to care for them as white
mothers do.

Care OF Cream

During the hot days of spring
and summer the farmer who is SELL
ing cream to the creamery finds it
a problem to keep his cream in the
proper condition. However, there
are but few simple rules which
should be followed, that would re-
suit in better cream. First of all
there is cleanliness. Dirt, remem-
ber, carries bad flavors. If the
barn or it's surroundings and cows
are dirty it will result in poor milk +;
poor milk results in poor cream !;
poor cream results in poor butter.
Immediately after separating,
the cream should be cooled down to
at least so degrees F. Warm cream
should never be poured upon cold
as the temperature of the lot is
raised and bad fiavors may result.
1t is essential that the cream be
stirred frequently to insure uniform
ripening. If the cream is left un-
disturbed, the fat rises the same
way as it does in milk. As result
the cream is full of curd particles
or it becomes ''lumpy."
Never put cream in a rusty or
battered can and always remember
that milk and cream have that prop.
erty of absorbing bad flavors.-W,
B. Combs.

clover on his place. He is letting
it get ripe and will thresh the en-
tire crop for seed. He says the
heads are we'll filled with seed and
are beginning to turn brown. Ed
Gertje has a field of twenty-five
acres which he intends to thresh

year for clover seed as the cool

heads to fill. Clover straw makes
good winter fodder for both horses
and cattle so that the seed is prac.

FIND TWO WAYS
TO KILL SMUT
Sow Wheat Before Spores
Scatter While Threshing

Means to eliminate approximate
ly all danger from smut, which
causes annual losses ranging from
SIS, 10000 to SIS. ZOO. 900 to Inland
Empire winter wheat crops, have
been discovered as the result Of
four years investigation work by
Washington State college. DR.. Ira
D. Cardiff, director of the expert
ment station. stated that he was
confident that the solution had been
found. He says that either one of
two methods may be followed by
wheat farmers. They may SOW
winter wheat before threshing
time or they may sow at the usual
time in summer fallow, first giving
the land deep replowing.
Smut is a fungus growth. The
spores on the wheat grains grow on
the inside of the wheat plant, show
ing again in the grains of seed.
The spores are blown about at
threshing time. If planting is
done before threshing the resulting
wheat crop is found to be absolute
ly free of smut. If planting is
done after threshing time the smut
spores are scattered about the
ground, but can be turned under
and out of the way of the wheat by
deep plowing. In the experiment
work half of one field was subject
ed to deep blowing; the other half
was not. The wheat planted on
the replowed ground had less than
one per cent smut; that on the
other half, twenty-five per cent.
Another experiment conducted
to show that the smut spores are
a menace only on the surface, was
to burn straw on a field. The
wheat which came up later showed
absolutely no smut. This is not
recommended as practical method,
however. In the first place a
wheat grower would not have suffi-
cient straw, and in the second
place the burning Injuries the soil.
DR.. Cardiff said the equipment
of threshing separators with blow
ers, to clear the wheat from smut,
separating the smut in bags so as
to prevent it from being scattered,
also was recommended.

Paper Investigation

Several foreign governments,
realizing the scarcity of paper.mak-
ing material, have forbidden it's ex-
port to other countries. The effect
of this has been widespread, espec-
tally in the United States, where
the demand for raw material now
is greater than the supply, with re-
sultant high prices. Obviously,
corresponding increases in the cost
of all kinds and grades of paper
have taken place. 1t is wise to
save waste paper, rags, etc., fo1
they are valuable. There is at
present an increased demand for
paper, cardboard, etc., in the
United States. The present daily
production of paper ofall kinds is
over $4,000 tons. Competent au.
thority states that rags form 7.s
per cent of the fibers we use in pa
per making; waste paper, books
magazines, etc., form 21.4 per cent.
Saving old paper and rags means {
saving of the forests. The hearty
cooperation of every man, woman
and child is essential if the collec
tion of waste materials is to b,

DrRantr1:, &du

Areamer, say, will you dream for me
- A wild sweet dream of foreign land
Whose border sips of a foaming sea
With lips of coral and silver sand;
Where warm winds loll on the shady deeps,
Or lave themselves in the fearful mist
The great wild wave of the breaker weeps
Ger crags of opal and amethyst?
Dreamer, say. ill you dream dream
Of tropic shades in the lands of shine,
Where the lily leans Ger an amber stream
That flows like rill of wasted wine,--
Where the palm-trees, lifting their shields of
green,
Parry the shafts of the Indian sun
Whose splintering vengeance falls between
The reeds below where the waters run?
Dreamer, say, will you dream of love
That lives in the land of sweet perfume,
Where the stars drip down from the skies
above
In motion spatters of bud and bloom?
Where never the weary eyes are wet,
And never sob in the balmy air,
And only the laugh of the paroquet
Breaks the sleep of the silence there?
