QUALITY OF WHEAT
CAN BE CONTROLLED
Bulletin of Colorado Experiment
Station Tells Cause of yell
low Berry and Remedy.

(By C. P. GILLETTE, Colorado Agricui-
tural College, Fort Collins.)
Millers prefer wheat that is hard
and fiinty, to wheat that is made
up of kernels that are white and
starchy in cross-section. Kernels of
the latter type are softer and more
easily crushed and are spoken of as
soft wheat" A considerable reduc-
ton In price is often made when this
"soft" wheat is offered for sale.
DR.. w. P. Headden of the Colorado
agricultural experiment station, has
succeeded in determining the cause
of this trouble and also the remedy,
which every farmer can supply. He
tells all about 1t in Bulletin POS of
the experiment station which will be
sept free to any farmer who will write
for 1t.
In brief, the cause of "yellow-berry"
is high percentage Of potash in the
soil in proportion to the available
nitrogen. The remedy is to keep the
nitrogen content of the soil as high
as possible without increasing the
potash. This may be done by the ad-
dition of nitrates, the rotation Of
crops in which alfalfa or some other
legume is used, and by proper tlllage.

"The kidneys play a most important
part IN causing premature old are and
death--the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay"--so says q distinguished
physician. who further advises all people
who are past thirty TO preserve the vitality
Of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty Of water-sweat some daily
and take knuric before meals.
This Anuric Il put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
iumbago, rheumatism, "rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due TO uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water docs sugar.
Discovered by DIR. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.

"The loss resulting from feeding In
ferior cattle has been well demon
strated experimentally at the Kansas
station" said Doctor McCampbell. 'Tn
this experiment, well bred-but not
purebred-cattle of desirable beef
type were compared with cattle the
same age and somewhat larger, yet
not of the type most desirable for con.
verting feed into beef.
'4The good beef type-quality cattle
made a daily gain of 2.22 pounds
while the undesirable type, although
receiving the same amount Of feed,
made gain of only 1.76 pounds daily.
The gain on the good type cattle cost
$8.15 100 pounds while the gain on
the coarser cattle cost $10.25 a 100
pounds. This experiment demonstrates
that one of the essentials in making
beef is the selection Of the right kind
of feeders.
"a good feeder must be close to the
ground, have short, broad head
with strong muzzle, wide, straight
top, wide, deep chest, capacious
middle, a deep flank, deep, full quar-
ters, and withal, plenty of substance
and lots of quality"

EXCELLENT RETURNS

WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case OF Mr.. c. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin In the summer of 1914 with
81 800 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-section OF partly Inn
proved land Ia Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head OF Soung live stock. He was for.
tunate In buying feed at bargain AID

section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profirs--and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.

If you do not want to plant fruit
trees in the fall for fear they will be

and they viii be all the better for the

broken up 1t is all right. but IL the
charge has expended most Of its force
in packing the soil firm around the

silo............
(By r. D. HEBs.)

(By II. ID. HEBB)
Something of what the silo means to
every farm is shown in the above
genealogical tree" The silo is one
of the greatest conservators of food
values and of land fertilities on the
farm. BY It's use stock is furnished
with green roughage during the win
ter months when such feed has for
years been thought out of the ques-
ton. 1t furnishes an economical ra-
ton at time when foodstuffs are
high.
Increased Fertility.
1t means increased fertility to the
soil because the owning of silo
means the owning of more livestock.
More feed can be stored in given
space in the form of silage than in the
form of fodder or hay. There Is less
loss of food material when a crop Is
made into silage. Crops can be put
into the silo during weather which
cannot be utilized In making hay or
fodder. There is less waste; good
silage Is all consumed. The accumu-
lation of more livestock on the farm
means an increased income for the
farmer.
Many county agents are making de-
termined campaigns in their commune
ties for the building of silos and these
campaigns invariably result in increas-
ing the bank account of the farmer.
Succulent Feed.

means the succulence Of pasture all

adopted by the dry-land dairyman the
silo loses none of its virtues and in
addition becomes his one real effective
weapon against drought. Every dry
land dairyman should have three times
the silo capacity he expects to need
in any one season. In favorable years
1t provides the extra storage room
necessary for saving the large crop,
and If several years of drought sue
coed one another, the reserve supply
can be drawn upon to tide over the
adversely. This reserve Is his insur-
ance against drought.

grown. At such critical times the silo
i OF peculiar value for entirely saving
" growth made Under the present
8ysten of depending on pasture in
summer and dry feeding in winter pro
hduction is confined almost entirely to
the summer months. The dairyman
with a silo finds that production is
possible all the year round, and that
winter production is far more profit
able because Of the higher prices Of
fered for the product.
The silo is revolutionlzing the whole
feeding practice and is putting it
on a sound basis. 1t awakens the set
tier to a realization Of the benefits to
be derived from other improvements,
such as better shelter and the breed
ing up of his herd.
