BARLEY NEXT TO CORN.
National crop improvement ssrvIcs.I

National crop improvement s~ervIcs.I
Barley has a feeding value next to
corn. Indeed some feeders place 1t
ahead of corn for pig food and at the
present prices. barley will make as
much and more profit than wheat. The
wheat crop has now gone to the
jury" We cannot do much more about
wheat but we have two or three weeks
yet in order to- put all of our acreage
remaining into barley.
Barley is more profitable than oats,
In fact, very few farmers make any
money out of oats under the best cir.
cumstances and very few barley far
mers ever lose money on barley,
There is always the fascination Of get.
ting a fancy price for fancy barley,
and although less than one per cent
of all grains are used for mailing pur.
poses, the additional price which II
gives to barley over oats always
makes money for the farmers. While
perhaps one per cent of the grain
crop is used in brewing, the loss of
feed value Is much smaller because
fully one half goes back to dairy far
mers in the form of dried grains and
other by-products, which for feed pur'
poses Is among the best available.

BARLEY NOT A HUMAN FOOD
As a Bread Cereal II Is Little Used,
As An Animal Food II Is Of
Great Value.
tNst,oua, crop Improvement ssrvIcs.I

National Crop Improvement Servlce.1
For many centuries barley, the
corn of holy writ, was used as a
bread cereal, but it has practically
gone out Of use, except that Norway
and Sweden use It in their peculiar
bread disks, which are about the size
and shape of n monograph record.
Barley in itself does not make a
a good bread flour and could be uti-
lized only by mixing it with wheat,
something which the American miller
considers dissertation Of his shrine. II
has a peculiar flavor and is just as diff
ferent from wheat bread, as either
corn or rye.
But as a stock feed, it has many
merits. AS the kernels are too hard for
some animals to relish, 1t may be
crushed by passing It between rollers.
II finely ground, the gluten makes
a sticky mass as soon as 1t is wet,
and this peculiar property makes II
difficult TO make 1t into good bread. Its
main use In the American kitchen has
been to use IL as pearled barley in
SOUPS. It is used some in breakfast
food, through a mailing process. but
unless we as American people are on
the verge of starvation. we will never
use barley as a regular diet.

Last Friday morning a message

Last rluay u HlosSdSo
from an Omaha hospital announc-
ing the death of John Novotny,
cast a shadow of sorrow over this
community. The deceased about
two months before his death
caught a severe cold which deve-
loped into brain fever and his con-
dition gradually growing worse he
was taken to a hospital in Omaha
where it was found out that a tn
NOR is growing on the left side OF
his brain which caused intense
pain at times, loss Of memory,
sight and other symptoms, and an
operation was performed. How
ever the disease was beyond hu-
man control. The remains YER
shipped home and arrived here
Saturday afternoon. Funeral was
held Monday morning from the
Catholic church of this place and
inferred in the cemetery in town.
This was one of the saddest funer-
al witnessed here for a long time
and the attendance was one of the
largest ever seen here. The sad
rites were performed by Righi
Rev. Monsignor Bouska and word.
of consolation spoken by him
touched the heart of all. The de-
ceased was born in Bon Homme
county June 10, 1880, and was o.
YER 81 years of age. In the
month of May 1904, he married
Miss Anna Kortan and moved on
his farm near Geddes. He then
moved near Vodnany and then
selling his farm there bought a
farm south of town seven years
ago. During his life he had been
very unfortunate and luck was a.
gainst him in his farming ventures
and only a year ago he was badly
mangled by a gasoline engine. In
spite of his industry, it seems that
everything went againgt him. Be
cause of his excellent nature he
was generally liked and held in es

modrncd by all who were acquaint
ed by him. He is survived by his
wife and five children as follows:
