Winter Wheat States. '

A notable Increase in the production of the crop has taken place In Nebraska. Fifteen years ago the proportion of winter wheat to the total wheat production of the state amounted to about 15 per cent, while at present the spring wheat produced bears about the same relation to the total annual yield. Nebraska now ranks second among the winter wheat producing states, Kansas standing first Grown on Dntrr Byproducts. Some French farmers grow their pigs slowly for several months and then fatten them quickly. This prevails among the Small farmers, many of whom use no grain except daring the last two months, the pigs being grown on dairy byproducts and kitchen •lops.
