WHY POTATOES ARE HIGH.

Almost coincidental with re-
ports from Chicago that So a
bushel was paid for potatoes in
carload lots, the highest price
ever recorded on that market,
the United States Department
of Agriculture issued a state
ment showing a decrease of A
per cent in potatoes held by
producers in the nineteen impor-
tant tuber producing states.
Extraordinary high prices,
even early in the season, un-
doubtedly are partly responsible
for the decreased amount of po-
tatoes in the-hands of produc-
ers; but the crop itself failed to
keep pace with the unprecedent-
ed demand and this alone amply
explains the present price level.
Once more the old law of sup
ply and demand is shown to be
on the job. Once more is proved
the faulty of blaming food
spectators for what obviously
are natural results.

THE CAUSES OF ANEMIA.

Absence of sunlight is one of
the most important causes of
anemia or weak blood. People
shut it out of the home, because
it fades the rugs or something
or because other people do. Win
dow shades and shutters are
worn just because they are the
fashion and not because they are
needed. Sunlight is as essential
for the production of the color
ing matter of the blood (hemog-
lobin) as it is for the produc-
tion of the coloring matter of
plants (chlorophyD. Those

There is still time to do some

| to get returns from unproduc-
tive trees that are thrifty.
Late this month or early next

pansies, columnbine, foxglove,

When ordering seed for the
garden try some vegetables you

sorts to try.
There are more than 10000
acres Of land in California de-
voted to raising garden seeds.
The annual value of these seeds

The evergreens are interest
ing objects on the home grounds
at this time of year. A good
group or grove of them is pro-
lection from the wind.
Bitter-sweet is one Of the best
vines for porch or trellis. If it
is planted with other vines or

that it does not twine about

|go home only after sundown,
and requires them to be at work
before the sun is high enough to
give strong light, are pretty
sure to be anemic.
The general use of denatur-
lied bread and cereals is GER
tainly an important factor of
anemia. If you remove the IRON
containing layer of the wheat
and of other cereals, you rob the
blood Of something it must have.
Not merely iron, but vitamines,
life elements. Pale, insipid,
tasteless bread makes anemic,
pale, lifeless people. Whole wheat
bread, old-fashioned oatmeal,
ccrnmeal, unpublished rice, these
things not only feed the blood
but correct the constipation
which is almost a universal all
ment of civilized people. I'm
denaturized food prevents and
cures pellagra and beriberi. We
have not only economic but al

lied fare of our great great

The excessive use Of cathar-
tics helps to cause anemia. Cas-
tor oil, for instance, usually
causes blood corpuscles to ap-
pear in the excavations; so does
calomel. And salts are notori-
Gus for weakening the blood.
Yet lots of people take salts be-
cause they have backache which
they mistakenly attribute to kid
ney trouble-backache which
spells anemia.
Internal bleeding hemorrhoids
frequently cause anemia. Toxe-
mia (poison in the blood) from
insidious diseases like Bright's
disease, pulmonary tuberculosis,
syphilis, malaria and focal in
fections in the gums, teeth, ton
sils or elsewhere are common
factors.
But in women, at least, a most
prolific cause of simple anemia
that discouraging sallow COM
plexion and dull heavy eye-is
insufficient oxygen. Another way
of saying this is excessive car
bondioxide in the blood. Or still
a better way is lack Of outdoor
exercise. A woman may obtain
plenty Of exercise at her house

HOW TO SELECT SEED WHEAT

Why notunite upon MARQUIS, and cut
out the others? Blue Stem and Fife are
very good but it is better to grow the same
kind and get better price.
Screen your seed and fan out all trash,
immature kernels, weed seeds, wild oats,
etc., leaving the seed to be planted the
heaviest you have, with an equal amount
of plant food in each kernel, which will
cause it to mature at the same time, max
ing less waste at harvest 1t all ought to
get ripe at the same time.
Examine your seed closely to see whether
it contains bunt or stinking smut and treat
your seed with formaldehyde before sowing.
How much of your seed will grow? It is
easy to test it. Take an ordinary piece of
blotting paper, wet it, fold it over in the
middle, to open like book, count 100 seeds
just as they run into the blotting paper, put
strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold of the blotter, wrap it up in piece of
butter paper (greased paper), wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in glass of
water like lamp, put the test on top Of the
glass; do not let it dry out or freeze. After
six or seven days, open it and count SO
many kernels strong, so many weak, 80

PIGS PAY 5 CENTS A MIN.
UTE FOR WORK

With the returns amounting
to 5 cents minute for the time
spent, A. j. Mcclure of Univer-
sity farm, st. Paul, found that
raising 100 pigs every year was
the most profitable work the
men did on his farm last year
The pigs were raised, figures
completed at the end of the year
show, with one hours time q
day. At the prices for pigs now
the returns this year on this 365
hours time was nearly. So ar
hour.
The reduction Of work to min.
imum is the method that the
Mcclure farm uses to increase
the return on the labor. The
pigs collect their own feed in
the spring and summer from
rape and alfalfa fields and in the
fall they gather the feed to pre-
pare them for market by hog
ging down a field of fifteen acres
of corn. Eight acres of rape
and alfalfa keep the pigs and
the brood sows in the summer
furnishing in a fair season al
the feed they viii eat. In Sep
tember the pigs are turned into
a fifteen acre field Of corn, be
side which is a four-acre rape
field. The sows that are to be
kept over during the winter are
left to clean up the waste after
the pigs are marketed.
Mr.. Mcclure finds that let.
ting the pigs do their own work
is just as satisfactory and econ.
omical and much more profitable
He even arranges the winter
quarters so that as little atten.

grow two inches long before they wither.
This is important this year, because wheat
is badly shriveled and contains little plant
food. Take no chances on your seed wheat.
If the seed you have is all right you are
fortunate. If it does not test 80 to $50
strong you are in danger; find some neigh
Dor, if you can. who has good wheat enough
to supply seed for you and sell the seed that
you intended to SOW. Ask your County
Agricultural Agent or the Agricultural
Teacher in your High School to help you
locate MARQUIS seed in your neighbor-
hood, or ask your seed man to get it for
youNput be sure he honestly tells you where
it is grown. Do not get it too far away from
home. If the seed man cannot supply you
to your satisfaction, apply to your mill or
elevator. Allof them have agreed in this
territory to locate proper seed wheat for
their customers. If fthey cannot supply you
write to Prof. Manley Champlin, State Ex-
pertinent Station, Brookings, s.. D., or

HOW He SAVED A TOE.

- APTAlN CHARLES II. BAKER OF
4 the city police force believes that
- the simple medical treatment OF q
primitive old Hawaiian man is what
saved him the loss OF toe. The
story of how the police officer almost
lost toe is often told around the 20

Once when off on a vacation on n

saw a ripe bunch of bananas in large

the island, while the two were wan

Boy like, the two men started after
the ripe fruit with rush, and Cap
tain Baker, proving the more agile OF
the two arrived ahead and Ieaped
DOWN into the pit to the place at
which the bananas had been seen
1t was later learned that this hole
had been used by the people living in
the vicinity as dump for old bottles,
the pit and then covered with old
banana leaves and similar debris to
hide the traces of the bottles.
Captain Baker, in his jump, landed
squarely on one of the broken bottles
in the pit. Discovering what he had
jumped into only too late, he crawled
out of the hole with one of his toes
just about cut off.
No doctor was near and friends i'm
mediately proceeded to call for aid.

teered assistance He lighted up an
old pipe and started in smoking furi-
ously Blowing the smoke on the

it coated with nicotine. He then put
chewing tobacco around the toe and
covered the wound with native leaf,
following it with a bandage.
Not long afterward the bandage was
removed and the toe was we'll on its
way to recovery. Now it is as good
