in Western Dakota. Where we tried

encouraging.

from 5 to 10 days earlier than other
wheat. This tends to protect it from
the adverse influences of injury from
hot winds and drought. (2) 1t does
not shatter nearly so readily as blue
stem or red fife during the harvest
ing process. This is true of it even
when over-ripe. (3) The straw is
shorter and sitter than that of blue
steam, hence in dry year it suffers
less from drought and in a wet year
it suffers less from lodging. In one
of our experiments near Prineville in
central Oregon in 1913, the yield was
10 bushels per acre against 4 bushels
of the variety usually grown there,
though produced under the same con-
ditions. The summer that year was
abnormally dry at Prineville. (N It

fife in it's milling properties.
In dry areas the rate of seeding
should be about four pecks per acre
and it is very important that the seet
should be sown early and preferabl,
on corn land. If sown on stubble tn
best results will usually be obtained
from fall plowed land. If sprin,
plowed, the work should be done quit
early and the land should then b
packed as soon as plowed. On loos
soils the aim should be to sow tn
seed with press drill, burying it t
, the depth of two or three inches
Those who intend to sow this variet
of wheat should secure the seed

MARQUIS VARIETY OF
WHEAT FOR NORTHWEST
(By Prof. Thos. Shaw

This wheat has done so very well
in the American northwest since its
introduction that the farmers in those
areas should give much heed to the
claims made for it. 1t first came
prominently into public notice at the
Dry Farming congress, held at Leth-
bridge, Alberta, Canada, in 1912. 1t
excelled all other varieties shown,
beth in yield and quality, and was
awarded highest honors at the exhibit
held in connection with the congress.
Since that time it has been grown in
various areas in the northwestern
states, and the results obtained have
generally been of gratifying char
acter.
1t has been grown under the direc-
ton of the writer in various places
since that time, and some of the re-
suits obtained should prove interest
ing. The work was conducted more
especially under the direct supervi-
sion of my assistant, Mr.. E. A. Will
son. 1t was grown at Elgin, North
Dakota, in 1913, 1914 and 1915, and
also some other places. In 1913 the
yield on the Elgin demonstration farm
was 10 bushels, while the average
from other wheat in the vicinity was
9 bushels. In 1914 the yield at Elgin
was 33 bushels, against II of blue
stem grown under similar conditions
All the marquis grown on the expert
ment farm at Elgin in 1914 was sowr
on other station farms in 1915, or sole
for seed to farmers in that part OF
Dakota. In 1915 at Elgin the yiele
was sc bushels, against % of blu'
stem. At Halliday and Golden Vale!
the yields were "A and 38 bushels, re
spectively, from the Marquis. The l:
, farmers near Elgin obtained an aver
age of 19 bushels in 1915, against al
average of 13 and Is of blue sten
and red fife, respectively. The grea
value of this wheat, viewed from tn
standpoint of yield, is not to be ques
toned.

CARE OF WINTER LAMBS.

Continuous and rapid growth should
be the slogan of the winter lamb
producer and every available means
should be resorted to to reach that
expedient. Weights of 60 pounds in
~ DAYS have been reported from win
ter lamb feeders. The lambs should
have access to warm quarters, as they
are found to make more rapid gains
than if compelled to remain in un-
comfortably cool pens. However,
warmth must not exclude proper ven-
Itilation, and an opportunity for ex-
ercise.
Encourage the lambs to begin eat
ing as early as possible. For this
purpose their food should be placed
where they can gain access to it by
creep or other device to keep the
dams out, and where the lambs may
enter at will and always find food al
their disposal. Ground oats, wheat
bran and oil meal will be found suit
able for the beginners. After they
have learned to eat freely, corn meal
ground barley and subsequent!
whole grains as corn,, oats and barley
may be included in the ration. Al
the lambs become older the proper
tion of corn may be increased.
The following ration is recon
mended by winter lamb raisers il
eastern Canada: BY weight, rolle'
or cracked corn, / part; barley,
part; oats, part; bran, 2 parts.
When the lambs have learned t.
eat they should be fed with scrupul
Gus regularity three times per day
and all food removed from the trough
before any new is added as tn
lambs have very fastidious appe
tites and will not eat food after
has once been "nosed over"

troughs or vessels. Exercise is not
considered as important in the well
fare of the winter lambs as with 9TH
er classes of lambs. Unless very
closely housed, it will usually take
sufficient exercise. Since it's life will
not be over three months, elaborate
muscle building is not necessary. If
the lambs are given too much free
dom more food will be required to
produce the sane gains, thus decreas-
ing the net profits.-T. R. Arkell, Ca

make from which he is so sure tc re-
ceive generous dividends as from good
roads.
A reduction IN the cost of hauling
IS one of the most immediate benefits
Of a good road. A striking instance
Of this is shown by Investigations
conducted in Virginia where the av
erage distance from the farm to the
market is 7-S.10 miles, and the aver.
age load for the staple crops is about
pne ton. Assuming that the wages of
a two-horse team and driver are $500
per day, it costs the farmer in Vir-
ginia ar average of 26 cents per ton
mile tc market his crops. If the roads
were graded and improved with a sur.
facing suitable for the particular read
and region, the lead could be in
creased at least so per cent and the
round trip made in the same or less
time without any additional hardship
on the team. This would represent
a clear saving of s1.50 per day to each
farmer in the state for every day in
the year in which he was engaged in
hauling to or from the market.
The increase in land values is an
cther benefit that is noticeable wher.
ever road improvement takes place.

How to Kill The Itch Mite,

Itch is less frequently encountered
than in earlier days when less atten
tion was given to personal cleanliness
Nevertheless, there is still such thing
as itch, and it is still regarded with
the greatest aversion by most persons
Itch is a sign of uncleanliness, and is
caused by mite that burrows under
the surface of the outer skin The
itching sensation disappears when the
mite is killed. An ointment made of
equal parts of Balm of Peru and lard
will remove this offensive trouble.

Il is small wonder that many become
discouraged at the prospect Of attain
ing happiness, for the reason that
those things which they think must
exist before happiness is possible are
so remote. When one takes a survey Of
the world and says, 81 cant be happy
until everybody is comfortable and
surrounded by things beautiful and
harmonious he is laying down a law
for himself that is destined to prevent
his own happiness and that of others.
The fact that there are those who are
miserable should give him an oppor.
tdnity for doing good that should make
him happy, for there is no happiness
equal to that brought about by helping
others to be so. The joy OF service is
the greatest of all joys-much greater
than the satisfaction to be gained from
possession of material things, things
which impel covetousness, envy, jeal-
ousy and other passions which make
contentment and happiness impossible,
When one decides that he can only be
happy amid certain surroundings, GER
tain environment and friends, he Is
making himself bed of nettles with
pillow of thOrns, for the very simple
reason that happiness is not in these
things. In order to be happy one must
have that which produces happiness,
and nothing is 50 conducive to this Joy
GUS state as a loving heart, a sincere
desire for a good life and an earnest
and honest purpose to be of service to
mankind, These, supplemented by an
eye which sees beauty in everything

shining-will put a song in the heart, |

This is due partly to the decreased

1t is estimated that the people of
this country annually waste $250,000,.
600 because Of bad roads. Investiga.
tions have shown that the average
cost OF hauling on roads in the United
States is 20 cents per ton per mile.
1t costs the farmer more to haul a
bushel of wheat 94 miles, the average
distance from farm to shipping point,
than it ordinarily costs to ship it
from New York to Liverpool. In
France, England and Germany, consu.
lar reports show instances where the
cost Of hauling agricultural products
is as low as 10 cents per ton per

could reduce the cost Of hauling to 13
cents per ton mile, they would save

country, it is a well-known fact that
in our rural schools the attendance
almost invariably shows a marked de
crease during the periods when the
roads are bad. Another point worthy
Of consideration is that the one-room
school is being supplanted by larger
consolidated schools throughout those
portions of the country where condi
tiors make it practicable to conyey
children to school at the public ex
pense. Roads passable at all times
are most necessary for successful
school consolidation. There is abun
dant evidence to prove that any ex
tensive road improvement is followed
by better schools and better school
attendance. In some Of these schools
advanced courses have been intro
duced, and it has been possible tel
employ teachers having special Guali.l
