STRAW A VALUABLE FEED.
Excellent Roushass For Horses, Sheep
and Beet Cattle.


Burn no straw this fall
Every ounce Of straw is always Of
value, and this year 1t will be Of great
er value than usual
Ii is needed for livestock, because
the roughage crop is short.
Straw may be used in the feed ration
for horses. sheep and rougher cattle
with silage and small amount Of
grain. This cheapens the ration and
saves good hay and grain for other
uses.
Liberal bedding with straw, IL 1t Is
plentiful, also increases the amount of
manure to be applied to the soil. Less
of the fertility elements in liquid ma
nure are lost and bedding with more
costly material is made unnecessary.
The stock are made more comfortable
ald hence more productive. The fer
tility value at normal prices of the fer
tilizer elements amounts TO about SO a
ton for wheat straw and 81 ton for
oat straw. At present abnormal prices
this Is increased several times Al
least rs per cent OF this should be saved
by proper conservation.
Thrashing straw in the barn or baling
II before unsettled weather comes are
excellent ways Of conserving, Other
wise straw should be stacked where II
win be easily accessible for winter use.
Not an ounce of straw should be burn
ed this fall.-F w, Peck Minnesota

THE FARM
WINTER WHEAT HINTS.
Early Flowing an Essential 10 a Good
Crop Next Season.


Winter wheat succeeds best on corn
land The best crops have been OBJ
taiucd In many localities where the
winter wheat has been sown with n
one horse drill about Sept. between
The rows OF standing corn. In north
western Minnesota this method Is re-
Gardcl as the best. Winter wheat may
also properly follow some early crop
such rs barley, early oats or early po-
tatoes 1t can follow wheat or late
oats, provided they are OF the land
early enough to permit blowing and
sowing In season.
Early blowing Of stubble land Is es-
scntial to a good crop II is important
that contact be established as soon as
possible between the furrow slice and
the soil beneath. To facilitate this,
disking the stubble previous to plow-
tig Is advisable when time will allow.
After blowing the land should be disk
ed and narrowed sufficiently to firm the
soil and to preserve the moisture. Such
treatment also helps to kill the weeds
aud give good growing conditions. Dur
ing dry fall rolling or packing the
soil with corrugated roller will help TO
insure termination and prompt growth.
After the rolling the land should
again lie narrowed to leave 1t loose and
slightly ridged on the surface. In some
places winter wheat Is sown with
disk drill in standing wheat or oat stub
bic. The purpose Of sowing 1t in this
way is to gain the protection Of the
stubble for the winter wheat. While
tho stubble undoubtedly gives some pro-
lection, this method cannot be generally
advised, for the reason that wheat sown
In this way is likely to be weedy and
sometimes terminates poorly. Sowing
in the stubblc should be resorted to only
in extreme cases. II is essential that
the soil he in good condition, though 1t
should not be rich enough to cause the
winter wheat TO lodge. Wheat sown
on corn land that has been MANFRED a
year or two previously should give no
trouble from this cause.
Early sowing Of winter wheat is adj
visable IL not absolutely necessary in
securing stand. In Minnesota 1t should
be sown between Aug. 20 and Sept. 10.
The earlier date is preferable After
proper preparation of the land the
grain is best sown with drill. II
should be sown deep enough TO insure
reaching moisture, an inch and a half
to two inches being the usual depth.
AT least bushel and half OF seed IL
required per acre, and indications are
that better stand and greater likeli-
hood Of living over winter will he Sc
cured IL a bushel and three-quarters or
two bushels of seed are used. Some
thing would depend on the quality of
the seed, the size Of the kernels and its
purity One and three-quarters bushels
per acre should be regarded as the prop
er seeding. - Andrew Boss, University

Originally started by Sir Robert
Hart as the customs postal service, the
Chinese postal service hus grown to
big proportions. The Chinese are
great letter writers, aud something
over 350,O00.0OO letters were carried
by the Chinese posts In one year. It
Is the most extensive and the cheapest

the fields they should be narrowed to

HARVESTING Tomatoes,

The picking OF tomatoes at just the
proper tlme-when the color Is red, but
when the fruit Is not overripe-is very
essential. Ketchup or canned toma.
toes With a rich red color sell much
more readily than do those that were
put up before they were properly ma
lured. In many varieties the fruit re-
iains the greenish color until 1t Is too
ripe to be marketed. and In this case 1t
aust be remembered that soundness II

Rio Janeiro. April Sup to o'clock
this evening the foreign office was
without information from the Paris le-
cation with regard to the sinking of
the Parana. The German minister had
a fifty minute conference with Presi-
dent Bas and Foreign Minister Muel-
ler. The newspapers say the conference
caused no change in the attitude of
the government.
The Estado Of Sac Paulo demands
that Brazil align itself on the side of
the United States, "for the defense OF
the rights of neutral people who are
temperamentally opposed to action be-
cause they understand nothing Of their
future destiny" '.'. ..
Patriotic demonstrations were con-
tinued thruout the day.
In. official circles no doubt is e1-
pressed that the government will act
decidedly in accordance to it's warning
to Germany when unrestricted subma-
rine warfare was declared. Germany
was notified as follows on Feb. 49,
I'VE will consider 1t essential for

Claim Parana Struck Mine.
An indication that Germany may de-
ny that the parana was victim Of a
German submarine is shown in state
ments attributed to German officials.
According to these statements the YES
sci probably struck French or Brit
ish mine, as. 1t Is contended, it Is i'm
probable that German submarine
would have been able to operate so
close to Havre.
There Is little disposition here to
take the statements seriously and the
newspapers continue to demand ener-
getic action, a breach Of diplomatic re-
lations at the least. Some Of the papers
express impatience at tho slowness of
the chancellor to take action, The Ga
zetta de Noticias says:

American Liner St.
Lou's Makes Thrilling
Trip Among U-Boats

New York. April 9.-Running safely
thru the danger Of the German sub
marine blockade and without sighting
a periscope either on the outward or
homeward journey. the American line
steamer st. Louis arrived at her home
dock today. The st. Louis was the
first American passenger ship to be
armed and pass around the British
Isles without attack.
The homeward voyage was a stormy
one. One hundred miles off the coast
of IHeland gale threatened lffeboat
which was partly lowered. This was
an anxious time, as stop was made
directly in a normal path Of German
submarines returning to their home
base.
Now that an American ship has
completed her voyage it Is impossible
to tell what good luck saved her from
destruction. The British patrol knew
Of her voyage and so too did the Ger
man commanders, it is believed.
Running at full speed during the
night with the coast Of Ireland and
the submarine -infested waters in the
distance, as. O.. S." calls of ships in
distress came to the watchful wireless
operator Of the st. Louis. A ship had
been torpedoed about seventy-five
miles ahead Of the st. Louis and di-
fectly In her path. Soon another call
for help showed that another ship had
met the same fate 100 miles to the
south. and "a third call showed another
had met her fate at the westward.
| Narrowly Escaped Mine.
The st. Louis departed before dawn
and the liner steamed outside the bar,
where 1t was known German sub
marine had lurked the night before
until driven away by patrol boats.
During this time neutral ship had
attempted to leave the harbor. She
was caught dropping mines in the bay
eighty Of which were strewn about.
Patrol boats picked up and destroyed
all but two of these. About an hour
later the British steamer Kelvinhead
crossed the bar, struck one of the lost
mines and sank The st. Louis could
not have missed this mine by more
than twenty feet. How she escaped
destruction has mystihed the British
officers.
It was reported that the vessel
caught strewing mines was Swedish
boat. This was not confirmed by the
British authorities. The fate of her
officers also is not known. These
things are not talked about by the
sailors.

Amsterdam. via London. April a.--A
frontier correspondent Of the Telegraaf
suggests that the recklessness shown
bv German submarines is due to the
large financial rewards offered the
crews. Men who man the submarines
get 10 per cent higher pay than those
of any other branch OF the national
service and receive in addition
stantial bonuses. Fifty per cent Of the
value of a captured ship Is distributed,
per cent to the captain. per cent to

Emperor William in his order to Chan
cellor Won Bethmann Hollweg direct
ing reforms in the Prussian electoral
law. He declares that 'in view Of the
gigantic deeds. Of the entire people
there Is no moro room in Prussia for
election by the classes" In, connection
with this phase Of HIS proposal, EN-
peror William said:
Reform Of the PFussian diet and
liberation Of our, entire inner political
life are especially dear to my heart.
For the reform Of the electoral law of
the lower house, preparatory work al
ready has been begun at my request
at the outbreak OF the war.
No Glass Election.
Il charge you now to submit to me
definite proposals Of the ministry of
state so that, upon the return Of our
warriors this work, which Is fudamen-
tai for, the internal formation of Prus-
Esia, may be carried out by legislation.
In view Of the gigantic deeds Of the
entire people, there is, in my opinion,
no more room in Prussia for election
by the classes.
THE bill will have to provide fur
ther for direct ana secret election of
deputies. The merits OF the upper
house and its lasting significance for
the state, no king cs Prussia will mis-
Judge. The upper house will be bet
ter able to do Justice to the gigantic
demands of the coming time II 1t
unites in its midst. in more extended
and moro proport!onate manner than
hitherto, from various classes and vo-
cations Of people men who are re-
spected by their fellow citizens"
All Depends on U.1oats.

timme frankly admits that II the un-
restricted submarine war should prove
a failure Germany is lost.
I'VE all knew this on the day unre-
strioted submarine war was an
nounced," adds the paper.
