GROWING WINTER WHEAT t NORTH Hardier Varieties Introduced Tht Give Better Yields and Mature Earlier.

BETTER DROUGHT RESISTANT 3etter Division of Labor Permit Fall Seeding and Earlier Harvesting Careful Selection of Seed Will Aid Yield. F'r.'i ar-l by the Cnlted State? Department of Agriculture.) Slue th introlu tion of lit? lianly v.tri-tis of wheat from southeastern Iur'ie thepr has been a thrbh! norths:irl movement of the winter-wheat area. This movement has leen rapid :ti rerf-nt years. The ieains therefnr are the iierally lnrpe yields of winter wheat due, first, to its earlier maturity, thus enahlinx it to escape hail, ht wir.ds nnd disease; seeond, to its greater drought resistance; an-'i third, to the better division of labor, which it allows through fall seeding and rarller harvestinp. The profitable production of wheat In the eastern part of the United States depends to a considerable; extent on the choice of the best-adapted Tnrietii. In peneral, the soft red winter wheats are grown, although soft white winter wheats are popular in the northeastern United States, specially in New York and Pennsylvania. In the extreme western wution of the eastern area, which Is limited pn the wvst approximately by the line of :t0 inches of rainfall, hard red winter wheats of the Turkey type are grown. Along the line of 'M) Inches rainfall ttiere Is ü transition zone in which hard and soft red winter wheats succeed about equally well. Better Varieties for Many Farms. Many farmers are doubtless growing poorer varieties of wheat than they might grow if they knew exactly what was adapted to their loeallties and farms. The United States Department of AgTHnItnre has jtiM issneTl Farmers' r.ulirtin lir.s. Varieties of Winter Wheat, Adapted to the 1'astern United Stales, which charts localities in which various types of wheat can be ürdwn to advantage, and lists the varieties adapted to eaeh particular locality. The bulletin suirireMs that there is a large lcal demand in New limzland fnjr wheat as a iultry or stin k feed, and it should not be difiicult for several farmers In almost every neighboring hI to sell a!! the wheat they can raise at a good price to their neighbors. Winter wheat will doubtless product- better average yields, where it ran be grown, than spring wheat, if proper cultural methods :.nd suitable varieties are um1. Improve Wheat Yield. Wheat can be improd in iehl and in other desirable characteristics by the sebrt ion o!" good heads or good plants from the general field and growing tilt seed from each iudividu-il head or plant in separate tows. Continued selection will ieult in constantly uuproxod seiil. Another method of purifying a variety and iheva-ing the yield is what tr ay e;.l!ed mas eleetlcn.

WELL-BRED POULTRY AROUSING INTEREST

Poultrymen Help Better SiresBetter Stock Movement. Nebraska Live Stock Owners En. rolled in Campaign Report Standard-Bred Fowls Plymouth Rocks and Leghorns Lead. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In the absence of census data on the quality of farm poultry, information being received by the United State Department of Aprleulture In ronnction with the IJcttcr Sires P.etter Stock movement is believed to be of Interest to poultrymen. For instance, of 7."i livestock owners in Webster Barred Plymouth Rock. county, Nebraska, who in one day enrolled in the better sin's drive, 0." reported standard-bred fowls. Tin? flocks averaged CM birds. The principaJ breeds reported are, in the order stated, Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns, Ithode Island Keds, Orpingtons and Wyandotte.-?. Ilarred Plymouth Rocks were more numerous than other varieties in the breed. Of the Leghorns the White Leghorns were raised in largest numbers, while of the Wyandotte the white variety was somewhat more popular than the SilverLaeed Wyandottes, which were second. Huff Orpingtons were the only variety of that breed reported. The facts stated are believed to show interest in the keeping of wellbred poultry, especially since the Retter Sires Retter Stock blanks merely call for the number of poultry kept; and in nil cases the live-stock owners volunteered the facts about breeds and varieties. It is also noteworthy that, whereas the better-sires drive is aimed chiefly at the improvement of breeding males, in the case of poultry a large majority of females likewise are standard bred. FARM CHIMNEYS NEED STUDY They Should Start From Ground and Not Be Placed on BracketsMake Foundation Solid. All chimneys for farm buildings should start from the ground. Those placed on brackets are unsafe and often increase tin rate of insurance. In a properly designed house of moderate size, one or at most two chimneys, each containing several flues, will serve every purpose. If possible, a flue should be provided for each stove, as much better drafts are thereby obtained, say specialists of the United States- Department of Agriculture. The chimney should have a solid foundation of briek or stone, and if of briek, of course, an extra footing should be laid. The exterior walls should be two bricks tlml; and the division walls one brick thick. In case the chimney ! lined with one of the patent tire-clay lirti:! ,'? now on the market oho brick will prove of sufficient thickness for tl e exterior walls. In case it is necessary to carry u stovepipe any considerable d stance inside a partition to reach tl. chimney, a terra eetta thimble should bo Used, and where a pipe passes completely through a partition it should be protected with a ventilated thimble. i PLAN TO WEAN CALVES EARLY Much Tims and Annoyance Saved if Youngster Is Taken Away When Quite Young. The da owner who neglects to wean his calf because It Is too much trouble is making ten times the trou ble for himself by letting it nure its mother.

COVER OR BLANKET FOR COW Good Way to Keep Flies From Bothering While Milking Obviates Tail Switching. To keep flies from bothering while milking, make a cover or blanket for the cow from a large gunny sack, ripped open, and provided with strings for fastening under forelegs, and string across back to hold in place over the rump. If both the cow being tidlked and the one behind the milker are so protected there will be very little tail switchli.g.

SIMILARITY IN ANCIENT ART Seems Proof That at Some Time China Had Cultural Communication With Europe. More than 20 years ago China had cultural communication with Rurope, and this communication was by way of Siberia. In an interesting paper to the Journal of the Royal Anthropological' Institute of Great Britain nnd Ireland, Professor Soligman has shown a cultural communication in the so-called bird-chariots widen in Kurope are of late bronze age (about lim R. C). In China there are certain bronze vessels known in Chinese as "dove chariot vases" of the Han dynasty (R. C. LWITJO A. D.) An example of one of these vessels is illustrated in the Japanese manual Shin-Sho Sei and Is supposed to represent a dove supported on either side with a wheel, while In the downward-curved tall is also a small wheel; the vase's mouth Is in the bird's back. These vessels are supposed to have been used in ritual ceremonies. In Europe the .bird-chariot is somewhat different, being mounted on four wheels, while the mouth of the vessel, also in the bird's back, is covered usually with a movable lid in the form of a smaller bird. Other small birds are also sometimes added in various parts, as in one example just in front on the axle of the front w het Is.

SNAKE OFFSPRING OF LIZARD Scientists Go Back Thousands of Years to Find Out This Interesting Information. The snake as we know it today is said to be merely the offspring of the lizard. The family is traced back by a certain class of scientists, hundreds of thousands of years to a time when one of the semi-sea monsters crawled out on the land and elected to stay there. Among the species was one with very short legs. As he lumbered along over the ground he discovered that by flattening his belly to the ground and working his ribs that the leverage thus gained helped him along faster. He came to depend more and more upon this method of movement and nature took its usual course in eliminating organs or limbs not la use. The low lizard lost its legs and became a crawler. As the centuries passed natural selection left these with long bodies, as they could move faster than the ones with the short bodies and therefore the breeding soon became a matter of length, until the snake as we know it today resulted. Which contention may or may not be well founded. Colors Affect Moods, People who are planning to redecorate their houses may lind interesting suggestions in these hints from a cissertntlon on color: CJreen, thecolur of all foliage and herbage, is naturally the most restful of all. Rlue, the color of th. sky and of the sea, is conducive to serious mood, and often gives the impression of coldness. Yellow Is the color of sunlight and of almost all tires. From these associations it takes on a cheerful aspect. It gives the impression of warmth. Red, the color of blood, is exciting and stimulating. To be surrounded by it tends to make one hasty and excitable. Rlack is the color of night and mourning. It is always a depressing color. It makes us feel gloomy. Purple gives something of the impression of black, but at times conveys the Idea of elegance. Tins is probably due to Its long association with rovaltv. Co-operaticn Everything.. Outside the realms of literature and scientific discovery, no man has ever accomplished much through his own unaided ett'orts. The ordinary human life is not long enough. The big prizes have always gone to those men who have had the faculty of securing the loyal co-operation of other men. And always the greater and more wholehearted the co-operation the bigger the prize. Rut the really big man does not arrogate to himself all the credit for his achievement, lie realizes how it was done, knows that there is sufficient honor and reward for all, and is always ready to give credit where credit is due.

Lightning Rods. If a lightning rod is properly grounded, the danger arising from the use of non-insulated fasteners is negligible. Years ago the use of glass Insulators set in outriggers was very common. It was a good but perhaps an unnecessary practice. If a rod is well grounded in wet earth a bolt of lightning is not likely to leave a good conductor and enter a poor one. Citizen Worth While.

Special Care of Baby. That Baby should have a bed of its own all are agreed. Yet it is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man's medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would be tolerated by specialists in children's diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must b prepared with even greater care than Baby's food. A Baby's stomach when in good health is too often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared for Infants and Children ? Don't be deceived. Make a mental note of this: It is important, Mothers, that you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care.
