INCREASE YIELD
OF WHEAT CROP
No Better Time Can Be Found.
To Think Of These Things
Than Now

Experience has shown that from
three to five bushels per acre increased
yield in wheat can be made by plow-
ing the land deep and early so as to
give the soil time to settle. The wheat
plant likes firm seed bed just below
the surface. If the land is quite loose
the roller should be used. The In
crease in yield from the Arm packing
Of roller will often pay for the roller
In one crop.
Another chance to increase the yield
per acre is by using sound, plump seed
that viii grow. Fan and screen out all
small and shriveled grains.
The average yield of wheat can be
increased Ave bushels n one will give
attention to these details. 1t requires
nearly whole year to grow a crop Of
wheat. Why not get the highest crop
possible by doing the right thing at
the right time. n does not cost any
more and the profit is 80 pleasing and
satisfactory. Do your best this time
and note the dlfference.-C. Il. Alfred,

POTATOES FROM
YOUR GARDEN
Mash Them in This Way and
You viii Get the Greatest
Satisfaction

Cook the potatoes in boiling sailed
water. When thoroly tender, pour of
the water at once and mash with a
potato masher until there are no Jumps.
Beat very hard with a perforated
wooden spoon, If you have one. The
harder the potatoes are beaten the
fluffier they will be. While beating,
add little hot milk, just enough TO
make firm texture, also little but
ter and salt. Turn into a hot vege-
table dish and serve. If it is not pos
sible to serve the potatoes Immediately
after beating, place the dish in pan
of hot water, but do not put a lid on
the potatoes. Do not smooth them of
on the top, but pile them in the dish.
A lid placed on the top of the potatoes
at this time tends to send the steam
back and makes them soggy instead

FARMERS INCOME TAX

tors have sent cat blanks that the
farmers are expected to f1ll, and then
appear before one OF the deputy col
Iectors for personal consultation. The
important thing to be done by those
who suspect that they may be subject
to this tax Is to gather all the informa-
ton which they may be called upon
to furnish. For example, they should
make careful records Of everything
sold from the farm, together with the
total sum received. Then they should
make similar reports Of everything
bought which entered into the conduct
Of the farm, as, for example, feed and
livestock Of all kinds. The ordinary
family expenditures are not TO be de-

EGGS WELL COOKED
MAKE INEXPENSIVE
BREAKFAST DISH
Reasons Given Why Fried Eggs Are Of
Less Value Than POaehed Eggs.


II you like eggs, and wish to get
from them all possible food value when
you eat them, don't fry them. Poach
the egg, or cook it in the shell.
Fat, when exposed to heat, such 40
frying an egg, undergoes chemical
change, and is very hard to digest
This indigestible fat encases the egg
which should be digested in the stom'
ach. The fat Is not attacked in the
stomach but passes into the irtestines
for its digestion. This is too late to
use the full amount OF the egg for
body building.
Cook an egg In low temperature, the
same as you would cook meat, milk,
lor cheese.
One may have dish which is espe-
icially good for breakfast, made as fol-
lows:
Bring to a boil u can Of tomatoes,
seasoned. Place this in fiat bowl
that can be placed in the oven. In the
center of the tomatoes drop from three
to six eggs. Set in the oven. Cook
until the whites coagulate. This gives
both an attractive and wholesome dish
and takes the place OF fresh fruit in
the breakfast to be used In the winter
time when fresh fruit IL scarce.

Continue as long as practicable the
cultivation of corn which is to be fol.

Disk thoroly both corn land and cow
pea land as soon as the crop is in tho
shock and lime scattered.
If the land is in danger of washing,
use the subsoil plow once under the
row and once in each middle before
disking.
If turn-plow is necessary, disk well
before turning.
Applying Limestone.
If limestone is available, use Il.
Have the lime nearly ready for scat
tering when the crop is shocked.
In the absence Of distributor, place
the lime in small piles in straight rows.
In corn land, place the piles in about
every twelfth corn row with the piles
about twelve steps apart in the row.
Throw about q wheelbarrow load in
each pile, using as nearly as possible
ton to each half.acre. Use about tho
same distribution for pea land. Scat
ter uniformly from piles with shovels.
This is not as tedious as it may seem
at first. II the soil Is too loose, roll
