FilIinq Hollow Trees.

In some parts OF the country the

asphalt and sawdust 1t is claimed
this mixture costs less for both ma

Just as durable. 1t certainly is not OF
equal strength with concrete, unless
there be found some method OF MAX

more, this seed is of such shape and
size that it is difficult to separate 1t
from the wheat. The weed is widely
distributed over the United States and
is especially abundant in sections pro-
ducing soft red winter, spring and
durum wheat. Every farmer, there
fore, should strive to prevent its OBJ
tanning foothold on his farm.
Corn cookie seed is particularly OBJ
jectionable in wheat because 1t con-
tains poisonous element known as
saponin or sapotoxfn.
OF the other impurities examined,
kinghead, sometimes known as great
ragweed, is frequently found In wheat
in quantities as high as or 4 per
cent. Under such circumstances the
-four contains black specks and the
color and texture of the bread are
seriously affected. Even as small an
amount as per cent of kinghead seed
is noticeable in -four. Vetch seed also
alters the color of the -four, giving it
yellowish appearance as well as
noticeable odor Of vetch.
AS has already been stated, the
presence of any one Of these impuri-
ties is very likely to reduce the price
the farmer receives for his wheat. Not
only is the price per bushel usually
less, but there may also be dock
age" charge. Dockage is trade term
for the amount deducted on account
Of the presence of foreign material
from the gross weight of the wheat.
For example, If a load Of SO bushels Of
wheat is found to contain pounds Of
foreign matter per bushel, 100 pounds
is deducted from the lot for ''dockage."
The owner is paid, not for so bushels.
but for 80 bushels less 100 pounds, or
As bushels and 20 pounds of wheat.

roots, and a small daily ration OF
any kind Of grain.
A few weeks before the beginning
of the breeding season the grain feed
should be gradually increased, and the
amount of roots and alfalfa should be
slowly reduced. The animal should
be put in perfect condition and good
flesh. but not made fat. The best re-
suits are not secured from sire that

During the breeding season the boar
should have an abundance of food,
using the same combination as rec
commended for him while growing, ex-
cept just sufficient succulent feeds
should be given to keep his bowels In
good condition. A full supply Of sue
culent feeds at this time is likely to
make him infertile.
The boar should have comfortable
shelter at all times-dry and free from
drafts. His surroundings should be
kept free from vermin. He should
have daily exercise to keep him
healthy and muscular. A half-acre pas
ture will furnish this He will keep

die If allowed to run with the bar

himself by overservice. At other
times there is danger that he will
injure the sows. Keeping him In
close. dirty quarters. or allowing him
to range over the farm and neighbor-
hood half starved. are both sure ways
Of making him valueless. Too much

and his health and comfort should be
looked after every day throughout

Deputy Game Warden Brown is
looking for the hunter who killed an
elk in the foothills of the Olympics
and left the greater portion of 1t dried
In small cabin. says the Seattle Post
Intslligencer
Browns discovery Of the elk meat
deals with the wanderings of an Aire-
dale dog.
Brown borrowed the dog from q
friend when he started into the hills
on general hunt for lawbreakers,
and when well up In the mountains
he lost the dog. He failed to locate
the animal, and later came to town,
thinking 1t had returned to its home.
When he arrived he found that the
dog had not appeared. so he started
out again to try to locate the animal.
Brown luckily stumbled upon a
small cabin well up in the mountains,
and here found the dog. Brown inves-
tigated the shack and found 1t well
supplied with elk meat, but on the
rafters was a small domestic cat that
had become wild. The dog had come
across the cat. which had sought ref
uge In the rafters of the cabin. When
hungry the cat ate the dried elk meat
and dropped pieces to the dog below,
both living for more than eight days
in this manner.

(From Weekly News Letter. United States
Department of Agriculture.)
The results of recent tests by the
department indicate that the presence
in wheat of more than per cent of
what are known to millers as "insep-
arabic impurities" lessons the value
of the wheat for milling and baking
purposes. This fact has been recog-
nized in general commercial practice,
for wheat containing a noticeable
amount of impurities brings lower
price per bushel than other wheat.
The experiments conducted by the
department are discussed in detail in
Bulletin 1913. They included tests of
the effect of rye, knghead, corn cookie
and wild vetch seed in wheat in va
rious quantities. OF these substances,
rye occurs the most frequently, being
found In S3 per cent of the samples OF
hard winter wheat examined by the
Investigators and in 80 per cent of the
spring wheat. In one instance farm
er's wheat crop contained 14.3 per cent
of rye. On this account the farmer
received 8 cents less per bushel than
the normal price.
In regard to the quantity of rye nee
essary to exert an injurious effect up
on the quality of wheat, there Is q
difference of opinion among millers.
Some believe that when the percen-
tage of rye is less than 8, the -four or
bread is not noticeably affected, while
others have held that Q per cent is OBJ
gators found that per cent or more
of rye is sufficient to lower the quality
of the bread.
In a considerable percentage of the
wheat samples examined, the presence
of rye was said to be due probably to
the fact that the seed used in sowing
the wheat contained rye. It is not in
frequent for rye to scatter during har-
vest and to produce in this way a vol
unteer crop. If wheat is sown on land
which was planted in rye the previous
season, this volunteer crop of rye is
harvested with the wheat. Partial
winterkilling of the wheat increases
the percentage of the rye, because the
latter grain is not SO susceptible to
winterkilling as the former.
Corn cookie, although less frequent
in wheat than rye, has more injuri-
GUS effect. The presence Of even /
per cent of this weed seed in wheat
Is likely to lower the price to the farm
er, and certainly lowers the baking
quality of the flour. Corn cookie is an
exceedingly prolific annual weed, a
single plant having been known to
yield as high as $500 seed. Further.
