HARDY WHEAT STRAIN.
Interesting Result of Experiments at
Nebraska College of Agriculture.

The Nebraska College of Agriculture
reports gratifying results as regards
yield and weather resistant powers for
strain No. 60, variety of wheat that
has been developed on the experiment
farm. Last winter was unusually Sc
we're and particularly hard on winter
grain. OF ninety-five varieties OF Tur-
key Red wheat under test at the sta
ton No. 60 outdistances all others In
vitality and weather resistance.
Furthermore, on another field where
thirty-fve of the best strains OF wheat
from the surrounding twelve states
were being tried out for production and
vigor under Nebraska conditions all OF
the wheat winter killed. These results
indicate that No. go excels all these 9th
er varieties In hardness and ability to
withstand weather extremes.
As this variety, In addition to being
selected for winter resistance is also a
remarkably good yielder, II appears
that the average Nebraska farmer can
increase his dependable yield Of wheat
by the extensive use Of this' Seed
Country Gentleman.

pounds and were fed to make an aver
age gain OF $50 pounds pig foJteach
lot.
The self fed pigs in the dry lots were
ready for market earlier, required less
labor, gave greater returns for feed
consumed and, based upon the aver
ages Of the Kansas City market for the
last five years, would have sold for %
cents more per hundredweight at the
time they finished in the experiment.
Adding to the gain in market price
the saving in feed, which amounted to
90 cents head. and the saving of la
Dor, which, at the lowest estimate,
when as many as a carload of hogs are
fed would amount to one hour pig,
there resulted gain Of approximately
Sligo a head.
The see fed pigs on alfalfa and rape
pastures were ready for market only
one and one-half days earlier than
those in the dry lots, but the pasture
allowed in three months a saving Of
671a cents worth of concentrates pig.
The pigs were pastured on alfalfa at
the rate of eighteen an acre, which
gave a surplus of forage. This shows
a return of S12.15 an acre for the al
falfa pasture. Two cuttings of hay
had been removed before the feeding
period began. Figured on a five months
pasturing season. there is return OF
$2O25 an acre.
Based upon the saving of concen-
trates, the rape pasture gave a return
Of S16.2O for the three months feeding
period. Figuring for a four months
pasturing season. there is a return OF
$21 go an acre.

To Free Cattle From Lice.

Lice on cattle seriously handicap
growth and production. 1t is not diff.
cult to free cattle from them. but they
will return TO the cattle unless the
premises are rid of the lice. There.
fore the first thing to do is to thorough
ly clean all stables. stalls. hangers
walls. ceilings. floors and corners.
Abundance of light and ventilation Is
necessary. Then the barn should be
thoroughly sprayed with strong dis.
injecting solution and whitewashed.
Crude oil sprayed on the cattle or ad-
ministered with a sponge at regular
intervals will keep them free from the
parasite.

Sows bred for fall filters should be
now on good pasture. A light grain
ration is fed wherever the sows are
not In reasonably good flesh. II they
are on rape. clover or alfalfa the grain
may be of any sort. However. a quar-
ter pound OF tankage or oilmeal daily
during the last month OF CESSATION is a
good investment. 1t Is most satisfac-
tory to let the sows farrow at pasture,
having sufficient movable houses or

be OH a skimmilk diet at the end OF
eighteen to twenty -one days.
Milk Of even temperature should be
fed, about 9S degrees Fahrenheit is
right
milk, except possibly small amount OF
linseed oil meal or dried blood.
Feeding pals should be clean.
Milk should be sweet.
4 calf should never be overfed. One
can easily tell when this has happened
for the calf will usually come up and
sip and probably will not drink much
Of the milk.
Grain and hay should be provided for
the three weeks-Old calf Whole or
ground oats, or quarter oats, quar-
ter bran, a quarter linseed oil meal and
quarter cornmeal is a good grain
mixture for calf. Keep fresh grain
before the calf and a, fine quality of
hay. Rowen is excellent.
Calves should not be allowed TO suck
one another Tie them up with ropes
or else put in stanchions.
There are on the market several stock
preparations called milk substitutes.
These are supposed to take the place of
milk entirely after the sixth or seventh
day. Directions for using these come on
the bag. These substitutes will grow a
calf, but it can hardly be said Of them
that they take the place of milk. They
result i'm higher cost for growing the
calf because of the high price of the
feed and extra labor involved. Calves
raised on such substitutes never look as
thrifty as those raised on milk. Where
one has milk it would not be advisable
to use calf meals. If there Is no milk
one has no choice.
Heifer calves should be kept growing
all the time. Calves In the summer
should be provided with grass pasture
with shade and some escape from the
flies. Skimmilk might well be contin-
ued until the calf is five or six months
of age

makes pleasant circulation OF the

noticeable In the increased amount Of

Scientific Discovery of Value.

The British Medical Journal an. nounces that remarkable scientific discovery is now on trial at the casual ty clearing stations in France. The in- ventor is James Shearer, a Scotchman twenty years old, employed as ser' geant in the medical corps. The new discovery succeeds just where X-ray photography fails. It produces pie lures of structures located far below the surface of the outer skin just at the point where X-ray photography ceased to perform effectively. By means of it, it is possible in broad daylight to obtain detailed pictures of the internal organs and to see at a glance by what gross lesions they laay be affected. The apparatus works as long as the body is living, and even until molecular death has set in. After that it does not work.

Good cheer is a great lubricant. It oils all of life's machinery. Good cheer is u great producer. It adds wonder fully to oD&'s active ability and in- creases mental and physical power. It makes host of friends and helps us to be interesting and agreeable. Good cheer will attract more cust omers, sell more goods, do more business with less wear and tear than almost any other quality. Optimism is the greatest businessgettcr, biggest trader, truest achiever in the world. Pessimism has never done anything but tear down and destroy what optimism has built up.
