Whole Wheat

Whole wheat, which can be bought
in the grain at seed or feed stores, is
one Of the best all-round cheap
and nutritious foods in the country.
Every American home should keep a
supply Of whole wheat. When soaked
for several hours and cooked an equal
length Of time, it makes delicious
breakfast food. Ground in hand
grist mill, which can be bought for
from $3.50 to $500, it is equally pal
atable when made into bread or used
as a cereal.
1t has been estimated that whole
wheat, cooked over night in fireless
cooker, or cooked all day on the back
of the kitchen range, makes a cereal
costing lie the price of some Of the
patent commercial foods, and furnish
es, moreover, fully equal nourishment.
Whole wheat contains all the nour-
ishment Of the original wheat.

NOTICE

Those who are in need of bulls for
feeding purposes would better get
supplied now before they are shipped
out, as they will cost $500 per ton
more to have them shipped in than we
are now selling them for. We have a
big lot on hand now. Act quickly.

Feed the Pigs

Give the spring pigs plenty of good
pasturage. They should be kept on
pasture as long as possible and gain
the benefit of its cheap nutrients, es-
pecially mineral and protein, and its
tonic and digestive qualities. But pigs
on pasturage alone, even alfalfa, need
some grain supplement. The amount
of grain or other concentrated feed
used would depend on how much pas
turage is available, on the cost factor
Of grain or other feeds, on the age
and condition of the pigs, and the
time at which the farmer expects to
market them. To be ready for early
fall markets, spring pigs must be fed
heavier grain ration than pigs in
tended for the winter market.

Registered Land

The Torrens law is essentially the
application of business principles to
land registration. 1t should partic-
ularly appeal to business men and
farmers for this reason.
It's introduction will mean an i'm
mense increase Of ease in realty pro-
ceedings. 1t will make possible for
the poor man a simple and cheap
transfer Of his property. And even
further than this, it will reduce the
mortgage situation to one Of cheap
ness and speed.
The Torrens system replaces all
the confusion and much of the ex-
pense Of the present method. and
should finally displace it entirely. Our
farmers now have the opportunity to
take advantage of this law.
Every time change of title is nee
essary, or mortgage loan is made,
the parties should sieze the opportun-
ity to have that title given a "Tor-
rens" registration.

FARM NEWS
Working This Co

When it is impossible to hire men,
about the only thing that can be done
is to plan the work so as to get along
without them. This, however, should
not mean a decrease in production.
Above all, this year a big production
is essentiol, Because we are at war
and food crops are in urgent demand,
it is our patriotic duty to produce all
that we can.
One farmer, who has been specialize
ing in poultry, has so rearranged his
farming plans that, instead of hiring
from two to three men for the entire
season, he will not need to hire any.
He is employing only a small boy.
His wife and his father-in-law are
helping with the work as usual. Fur
thermore, his new plan is almost sure
to prove just as profitable, if not more
so, than the methods which he form
erly employed.
A truck grower has put in every
foot of land to crops and has worked
out plan whereby he can accomplish
even more with less men than he has
ever accomplished before. He has
put labor-saving machinery into use,
which not only saves men during the
days work but during the night as
well, for he plans to use it during the
rush season This season will see
more farmers than ever taking adj
vantage of night work to speed up
production.

Do Not Mix Lime and Phosphate

1t is not good plan to mix lime,
either burnt or raw ground rock, with
acid phosphate, as the lime will
change the phosphoric acid. That is,
the lime will make the phosphoric
acid less soluble. 1t will pay the
farmer to spread the lime on his land
several weeks before using the acid
phosphate. If it is necessary to use
them close together, they should be
thoroughly disked into the soil separ-
ately. Lime and potash can be used
together without loss. Lime and any
products that contains nitrogen, as
manure, should not be mixed together,
as the lime will set the nitrogen or
ammonia free.

High Priced Beef

Maj. D. A. Carpenter, of Knox coun-
ty, has sold IS head of steers at prices
ranging from Ia to 1914 cents a
pound to Knoxville butchers. They
were baby beeves, sired by regis
cred Angus bull and out Of grade
Shorthorn cows. They ranged from
8 to 10 months in age and averaged
1923 pounds. The average amount re-
ceived per head was $112.80. They
were fed almost entirely on feeds pro-
duced on the farm. Feeds used were
soy bean hay, silage, soy bean grain,
corn and small amount Of cotton
seed meal. The total amount received
for the thirteen head was $1,466.39,
which is a fair salary for 10 months
work feeding farm-grown products.
You can do as well if you care to
raise beef.

TODAY'S Market REPORTS

Chicago, Aug. 1-CORN-Altho news Of
peace proposals by Pope BENEDICT made
some impression on grain prices today. the
effect did not fully counteract an advance
which had taken place before the peace
news became generally known. The force
of the initial upturn in values was based
chiefly on profit taking purchasers for
opinion that corn had reached a basis
where the feeding demand would broaden
to a material extent. Opening figures for
corn were &c to &c highter with Dec. at
81 14% to $1.15, and May at S112A to 81. II.
lAfter moderate further gains the market
reacted to slightly above yesterday finish.
In later dealings the market hardened
again owing more or less to a sharp adj
vance in cash prices at Peoria. The close
was nervous at gains .of &c to 1Isc net
with Dec, S115A, and May, S11314 to
$1.13%.

POPE SEEKS PEACE

land, Portugal Belgium and Japan
should be returned to Germany.
The more difficult question of
Italia irredentia, the pope thinks.
should be examined in spirit of
Cancellation and fairness and that a
special consideration in the settlement
should be given to national aspira-
tons.
Many Complicated Problems.
Likewise does the pope hold that
the complex questions involved in the
readjustment of the Balkan states
should be considered in the same spir-
it of equity and justice.
He has especially in mind Armenia,
the Balka..s and Poland and the init
nation conveyed is that the questions
can safely be dealt with by direct
diplomatic exchanges between the
belligerents once an agreement is
reached upon the general principles
of recognition of national aspirations
and justice.
Entente Not Enthusiastic.
Without advices of any kind from
their own governments the entente
embassies were intensely interested in
the Associated Press cable from
Rome. Diplomatic practice prevents
authorized expressions of opinion for
publication but it was apparent at
once that the peace proposal falls on
unreceptlVe ears, so far as the diplo-
mats here are concerned.
The entente representatives declared
the proposal originated with Germany,
using Austria as an intermediary with
the vatican because of the better
standing of that great Catholic en-
pire with the pope.
Probably Came From Vienna.
There was no disposition to lscribe
any but the loftiest motives to Pope
Benedict in accepting at their face
value peace proposals emanating from
Vienna, but naturally the question was
at once raised as to the proper diVis-
ion of responsibility between the cen
trail powers and the pope. 1t was
pointed out that il is important to
know whether the proposal came full
Pledged from Vienna or Berlin or
whether the pope himself framed
them in the light of an understanding
he may have acquired of the miEim m
demands of the central powers
The entente diplomats agree that
the peace proposals did not come from
any of the allied capitals. Great Brit
ain, it was said, has no intention of
departing from the outlines disclose
