OF Europe seem to have become fearful
as to their future requirements. The
largest buyers of wheat for present
and future delivery at this time in this
market arc the governments of En-
rope. not spectators.
So long as there are no restrictions
such as We have just adopted, there is
no limit to the amount of wheat those
governments might purchase. There
fore. the action of the directors does
not interfere with the freedom Of con-
tract on the part Of either the indi-
vidnals or governments. but compels
those requiring wheat for immediate
consumption to make purchases from
farmers and grain dealers rather than
through the medium of a contract for
future delivery on the floor of our ex-
change"
It was stated by some traders to-
night that there was no way Of csti-
mating the effect of the order on
trades existing. The amount of wheat
on this market was said to be $50, 900
bushels or Saturday and that probably
the amount now here was short of
those figures. May wheat closed ut

Raise more chickens. They will produce meat cheaper than any other animal on the farm. It takes less grain to produce 8 pound of chicken than any other kind of flesh, and growth is rap i'd. It will pay every housewifeto make an earnest attempt to raise more chickens and to save a larger percent of her small chick ems this year than ever before.
 After the chicks are matched they should be placed in a well covered coop located ip dry spot with good drainage.
 Don't turn them out in rainy weather or on sunshiny days un- til the dew is off.

Lost Sleep

While willing and anxious tC accept almost any utterance coming from Thomas Ava Edi- son, there are times when we are inclined to question his philoso- phy. There is no reason to doubt the sincerity of his theory of sleep, but somehow we are of the old fashioned school that be lieyes with Benjamin Frank lin that early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy. wealthy and wise.
 Edison declares that four hours of sleep are enough for any man in physical condition.
 The ordinary bum can go for p hours without sleep, but he cannot keep it up.
 We must rest our bodies. This is exacted bf nature. The man or woman affected by insomnia, who cannot sleep, who losses restlessly the night through, is not rested in the morning. They are in tired physical state and their thoughts are incoherent They are not themselves. There is such thing as toe much sleep. Rip Van Wrinkle slept for 20 years, so they say and he was sorry man when he finally pulled himself together Six hours of sleep when enjoy ed in the regular way is life sus taining.
 But rest the body and mine must have. There must be a cer- tam time for relaxation when tn, nerves of the body may rest.
 Lost sleep means lost energy Lost sleer means the breakins up of the physical system.
 The man who cannot sleep ant resorts to drugs to give him res is lost. The lack of sleep is bas enough. but the use of drugs i worse.
 As Mir. Edison remarks whel a mans thoughts are concentra ted on certain subject he lose all desire for sleep. This is un doubtedly true. But we canno always follow our inclinations

Push Cultivation Of Corn And
 Cotton

Persistent early cultivation largely determines the success of the corn or cotton crop. It not only makes it possible to control grass and weeds which must be tolerated because they hinder the grow tn of the plants and uti lize the fertility needed for the crop but stirring the soil helps to warm it by permitting circu> lation of air which is necessary for the roots. Warm soll hastens the growth of young plants. By all means Go not let the corn be come stunted in growth. Good early cultivation also helps to put the cotton in thriving con dition and enables it to resist di- sease, Push the cultivation of both corn and cotton without de. lay Do your work thoroughly Cultivate after each rain. as soon as the soil is in condition to work and in dry weather it will be well to go over the field every ten days or two weeks.

A War Crop of Corn is Necessary-Food For
 Man And Beast

Mir. Farmer, remember a war crop of corn is necessary this year. It will furnish food for man and beast and everyone should have not only plenty of corn to feed his draft stock and finish all meat producing animals but he should plan on a supply for family food. With the threat. ened shortage of the wheat crop we may have to use corn meal as substitute for wheat flour. For good health corn products should never be used as an exclusive diet but in a mixed diet 1t is an excellent food and much cheaper than less wholesome products. Shelled corn has about the same value as oats and corn fodder, about the same as timothy hay, while pound of corn meal con tains as much nourlshment for a man as 5 pounds of potatoes.
