Wheat Common Cereal 5000 Yrs

real layer, thin membrane inclosing
the starch cells, and the germ. Dur
ing the milling process the bran coats
and the germs are removed.
Graham flour is made by grinding
the entire grain to a moderate grade
of fineness. Entire wheat -four is
made by grinding the grain and re-
moving the three outer coats. If the
germ were not removed from the flour
the color and the keeping qualities
would be affected.
There are twenty-four steps in the
milling process from the time the
wheat is weighed until it is sold as
flour. The byproducts, bran and mid
dlings, are sold to the farmer for the
feeding of cattle.
There are over fifty varieties of
flour made, but we must classify it
chiefly according to the kind Of wheat.
Flour made from spring is commonly
known as bread -four Bread flour is
rich in gluten. Gluten has the pow
er of expansion after the addition of
moisture and heat, and flour rich in
gluten, as bread flour is, will produce
a light loaf of bread.
Flour made from winter wheat is
commonly known as pastry flour. Pas
try flour contains less gluten and
more starch than bread fiour.--Ex.

Probably man would survive if the
earth never produced another grain of
wheat. But he would not find it easy
to get along without this useful grain,
for the eating of bread and other
things made from wheat flour is a
habit to which he has been addicted
for nearly 5000 years.
Wheat, it is thought, was first
grown in the valleys of the Tigris and
the Euphrates. Gradually it spread
to the East, and it is known that in
as early as 5000 B. G. Wheat formed
the chief food of the people of Biblical
times. The term wheat" is derived
from an old English word, 'hivaete,"
meaning white.
The wheat of to-day differs some
what from that of early history
Through intensive cultivation and
Decentralization it has reached
high state of perfection.
Wheat is the most widely known Of
the cereal grains. 1t is found wher-
ever the white man has penetrated.
1t is grown on the Himalayan slopes
10000 feet above the sea level, on the
great central plain of North Ameri-
ca, in the tropical countries of Africa
and India. We even find that as far
north as the sixtieth parallel of lati-
tude in Alaska, Russia, Germany,
France and England, thousands of
acres of wheat are harvested every
year.
The fact that wheat can be readily
adapted to various conditions of soil
and climate makes it the most valu
able of all cereal grains.
There are many different varieties
of wheat due to the differences of
soil and climate, but in general we di-
vide it into two classes winter or
soft wheat, sown in the fall and har-
vested during the hot summer months,
and spring or hard wheat, sown early
in the spring and harvested late in
the summer.

LAND LOST BY FENCES
Space Occupied by Various Kinds
of Fences Important.
WORM RAIL USES MOST.
Common In Some States to Leave
HeadIand of 10 to IL Feet, While
Others Use All Available Space.

The amount of land that is lost to
cultivation along fence rows is mat
ter of Importance, especially where
the land is high-priced. Hence, it is,
we'll, in selecting a type Of farm fenc-
ing, to give consideration to the space
that the fence will occupy.
Should the fence run between two
pasture fields, practically no land is
lost, but when it divides two culticat-
ed fields the width of the strip of land.
made untillable, should be doubled,
and the number of rods of fence re-
quired to occupy an acre OF ground
would be one-half that.
When a forage or sma1l-grain crop
is grown, less land is lost along the
fence row than when corn, potatoes
or some other cultivated crop is
grown; for much land is taken for
turning along the fence row with the
latter. Local practices also influence.
the amount of land along the fence
row which is not cultivated. Thus, in
certain parts of Iowa and adjacent
States. IL Is uOL LII q 1d4
er to leave a headland 10 to IL feet
in width along his fences; these are
used for driveways. In many local
tiles of the East it is the practice
to use one horse to pillow along the
fence row in order to get as close as
possible.
Wire, board, and picket fences take
up but a little over three feet on a
side, while worm-rail fences occupy
double this amount of land.
The amount of land that the hedge
fence renders useless for cultivation
will depend upon the size of the hedge.
If it is left untrimmed it will sap the
fertility of the soil for more than a
rod on each side of it; if it is kept we'll
trimmed it occupies nearly double the
amount of land taken by wire fence.
If tie season is dry, a hedge does
much more damage than when there
is plenty of RAINFALL as it's roots ex-
tend to a considerable distance and
takes up moisture that is needed by
the crops in the adjacent fields.

HOW'S YOUR DRAINAGE?
Condition of Water Level Con-
troll Important In Spring.
IMPROVES LAND FERTILITY
Don't Wonder at Results If You Fail
to Keep Improvement Free From
distractions.

In the spring of the year, when land
is being prepared for planting, there
are frequent complaints from farmers
that the drainage systems which they
constructed a year or more before are
not improving the land as they had
expected, says the Government Bulle-
tin.
Perhaps the soil is just as wet as it
was before installing drainage, but is
this a valid reason for condemning
drainage? To answer this question
correctly, other questions must first
be answered. Were the drainage i'm
provements in the first place properly
designed and constructed? If the ans
wer to this question is affirmative, may
not some defective condition have de-
veloped in the system since construc-
ton? Have the bitches been kept
open and clean or have they been per-
mitted to cave in and deteriorate gen.
orally?
Have the outlets to the tile drains
been allowed to close during the win
ter? Have the inlets and catch basins
been permitted to become chOked with
leaves and other dry vegetable mat
ter Of the previous season?
If these conditions exist, does not
the failure of the system to give the
desired results lie with the farmer
rather than the system?
In the spring, when the root sys-
tenn of the young plant is developing,
it is essential that the level of the
ground water be maintained at such
depth as always to permit free
growth of the roots downward as well
as literally The control of the water
level is the purpose of any drainage
improvement.
The largest returns on money in
vested in such improvements can be
obtained only when they accomplish
the purpose for which they are in
tended and this purpose can be ac-
complished only by keeping the drains
in the best possible state of efficiency.
Brush and weeds should be cut from
the banks of the open bitches and the
cleaned out to the proper depth. Open
ings should be made into the bitches
to permit the surface water in the
fields to flow off rapidly.

During the winter hens frequently
attack the males comb, picking at it

if the comb has been frosted. Some
times the trouble will spread, the hens

sometimes killing them. This is usu-

only be treated by removing the in

SOLDIERS N THE FIELD.

Keeping a soldier in the field fight

N|CHO[LS JURY |S
 UNABLE ID AGREE

After long and fruitless deliberation, the Nichols jury, trying a negro for assault with a deadly weapon. was locked up last night at eleven o'clock unable to agree upon verdict
 The gun episode arose over a dusky maid who lives in Box Alley. It is all legged that both the negroes were more or less fond of her and Nichols in the hope of gaining her affection told her he had seen Coleman give a sum of money to a Mexican woman. Coleman was immediately taken to task and he said he would make Nichols prove what he had said. Nichols armed him. self and prepared for trouble.
 This is not the first trouble in his life. At one time the country tried of frequently arresting the man and paid his expenses back to Kansas. A short time later he returned for his health and has been a familiar figure in the courts. Assistant County At torney G. $. Cunningham made this clear in his argument to the jury when he said He is not afraid of being ar rested; he is used to it."
 The case resulted in a negro. Bill Anderson being fined $l0 for contempt of court. Anderson had been sub poenoed in the morning and did not return in the afternoon. On explain ing ot the court that he did not know he had to respond on the same sub- poena the fine was remitted

 One other Mexican, Jose Bencorne, and one of the Americans were killed TWO Americans were wounded.
 When the engagement began the bandits outnumbered the Americans two to one. The engagement lasted almost an hour. with hot inter- cnange of bullets. When the rein forcements from the Seventeenth came in sight the Villistas broke fol inc hills.

 Company E of Stafford will probably be the next company to go into the federal service. Captain Roach of that company yesterday reported to head quarters that he had enough men to muster in and that his men were ready at any time to go through the formal ities.
 A private wire received from Capt. A. C. Taylor, regimental quartermaster, was to the effect, that all was going well, and that the men were in good spirits, there being no sickness. He ends up by saying that they need a few more recruits to make things inter- esting.
 None of the state property with which the men are equipped has as yet been turned over to the United States. This will not be done until all of the men have been mustered in. In the meantime, Capt. Oscar F. Temple as sistant Adjutant General, is on the ground seeing that the property is be- ing kept in good shape When the government is ready to take over the property, Col. Harris, adjutant general will go to Douglas and there formally turn the property over to regular of ficers.

 WASHINGTON, May 26.-News of what officials regard as one of the nest important accomplishments of inc American expedition since it en- tered Mexico reached the war depart mont today from General Pershing, who reported that Candelario Ger var tes, notorious bandit leader who participated in the Columbus raid. had been killed near Cruces yesterday by American troopers.
 Announcement today that General Funston had assigned Texas national gu2rdsmen to border patrol stations was regarded as a further indication that immediate abandonment of the Mexican expedition is not contemplat- ed. Nearly two regiments of the Texas militia, General Funston reported, left headouarters at Fort Sam Houston, for various Texas stations. Another regiment will be assigned later to duty along the Southern Pacific railway line from Eagle Pass to Maria.
 The court martial to try the 116 Texas guardsmen. who refused to present themselves to be mustered into federal service will convene next week at Folt sam Houston. San Antonio.
