GRIND YOUR OWN FLOUR
FOR WHOLE WHEAT. BREAD
Whole Wheat Berries Sprouted and
Then Crushed Make Rich and
Palatable Bread

The Daily Produce News, of Seattle
offers the following suggestion for
home-ground flour for making whole
wheat bread:
What with the wheat and flour peo-
pie scalping US with their high price
tomahawk, it is time the common peo-
pie did their own grinding for the
staff of life and other sustaining food.
This can be done right in the kitchen
and with a considerable saving in the
cost of living. Wheat milled to bolted
flour to yield one hundred parts will,
with the new process, yield 100 parts;
and, at the same time will be found to
be sweeter and much more nourishing
than the old-fashioned bolted article,
which has been robbed of the finest
part Of the grain from food value
standpoint. The pigs and chickens
benefit thereby, while the humans go
to the doctor to make up for the rob-
berry in loss of vitality and health.
The new bread is made from the
whole wheat berry, water-sprouted,
triturated and then treated as ordin-
airy flour in bread making, etc. The
idea came from Italy since the war be-
gan; it is now finding favor in Eng
land, even in the bakeries, and west
ern wheat land; Canadians, too, have
taken to the new bread and believe
it has come to stay, war or no war.
The best wheat procurable will bring
the best results. It should be cleaned
of all foreign seed and other sub
stances, rinsed in water as in the pre-
paration of rice for cooking and put
into warm water to soak for two or
three days, accoding to the age or the
hardness of the grain. The cooled
water should be changed two or three
times the first day for luke-warm wa
ter, which hastens the ''vitalizing" or
sprouting of the berry. Each grain Of
wheat should show the little white
sprout which indicates the process Of
terminating and the chemical change
of the starch into "grape sugar"
When properly vitalized, the grain
is triturated (crushed) while still soft
and Immediately after draining of the
water. This can easily be done in the
kitchen thru an ordinary meat grinder
using the smallest Of the perforated
disks. It is then ready for the. usual

BARNES CIRCUS

A mammoth industry Of amusement
is the AL. G. Barnes Circus, whose
show places cover the land, fills ev-
cry city and every village. Having
such an extensive territory it is not
often the same city has the opportun-
ity of seeing this unusually amusing,
thrilling, educational enterprise more
than once in three years.
Mr.. Barnes brings this big wild an
imal circus to Kennewick on Friday,
June %. AL. G. Barnes, sometimes re-
ferred to as the wizard Of animal edu-
Gators, has chosen as his profession
the art of making people happy, he has
assembled from every known country
animals of most every specie and has
educated them to do circus perform
ing. Surely great endeavor. That
his circus should be different from all
others he has specialized in educating
animals thought by all other animal
students to be unteachable to perform
the same as dogs or ponies whose
abilities to entertain and amuse are
well known. AS a result groups Of
llamas, zebras and camels are seen do
ing astounding acts. The common DON
key educated to sing; elephants to
play football, kangaroos to box and
run races; ostriches to ride and drive.
Hundreds of horses from the wee
Shetland pony to the great Norman,
have been educated to dance, pose and
do military and tango steps quito be-
yond anything seen elsewhere. Mules
that buck in the most delightful fash
ion, monkeys and dogs in aerial and
trapese work. Seals and sea lions in
amusing Juggling and balancing feats.
While the lions, numbering thirty,
are taught to ride galloping horses and
leap thru hoops of fire, one monster
Nubian lion is hoisted to the top Of
the tent surrounded by squirting fire
works, leopards, tigers and jaguars
are seen in roles extraordinary.

NO FARM LOANS
ON ORCHARD TREES
Head of Spokane Farm Loan
Bank Says this Policy Must
Be Adhered to

Following the controversy that has
arisen over the announcement by c. B..
Kegley, appraiser for the farm loan
bank, that trees in orchards added
nothing to the loan value of the land,
D. G. O'Shea, president Of the federal
land bank at Spokane, has issued spe-
cifc instruction covering the point.
Following is copy of the instructions
in part:
"The appraisal of orchard land has
given rise to some comment and diff
Guilty. In measure we are between
two fires and have to endeavor to steer
fairly between both.
Security Must be Sufficient
"In the first place I will say we are
here primarily to serve the farming
people Of our district and bring to
them the benefits that come from the
farm loan law. Secondarily we are in
duty bound to see that the security
that is behind the bonds that will be
issued will at all times be sufficient and
beyond question. la. r......
Eve appreciate that lard that is in
tensely cultivated is valuable, and we
do not expect to ask to have land that
is especially adapted for gardening
and intensified cultivation appraised
on the basis of grain lands in re-
mote section as some have feared. In
many sections of the western country
much land for orchard use was mar
keted in the past at high figures and
orchards have been planted thereon
and losses incurred. In many cases
the orchards have been pulled out and
the land reverted to ordinary agricul-
tural uses, and necessarily for all pur-
poses will have to take the usual ag-
cultural valuations.
Fruit Trees Might Vanish
IAN orchard is beautiful and val
liable asset; so is beautiful home. If
1ruit trees were insurable they could
be considered, doubtless, as insurable
improvements. They can not possibly
De fairly considered in the value Of
the land for the reason that they are
destructible, that If care is not taken
OF them they may die or become dis
eased, and hence there is reason and
justice in the policy Of not considering
