JVo Record Exists of
World Without Wheat
While the public revels tn the mar
vels of Tut-Ankh-Amen’s. tomb the
Egyptologists have dropped : back on
other couple of millenniums and are
earnestly discussing the diet of the
predynasUc Egyptians. Careful study
of their mummltled stomachs reveals
traces of barley husks, but not ol
wheat. Therefore, argues Elliot.
-JSmlth.. that remote people lived In a
prewbeut civilization. Professor Per
clval disagrees, insisting that the
Egyptians would have removed Its
husks before eating (t, leavtng noth-
ing tough enough to-resist decay.
Time may bring nonv data, but for
the present Elliot Smith seems to
have the better of the argument. All
prior guesses as to the kitchen habits
of 5,000 or 6,000 years ago are a bit
uncertain. But If the Egyptologists
have already discovered a prewheat
civilization they have dived deep into
the past For wheat grains are found
back through the numbered dynasties
of Egypt, In the ruins of the first
neolithic settlement which underlies
the site of Homer's Troy and tn the
prehistoric dwellings of the Swiss
lake dwellers. Wheat, too. was one
of the five plants solemnly sown each
year by the emperor of China, accord
Ing to rites which seem- to go back to
2800 B. C.
Where wheat originated no man
knows. Rfforts have been made to
trace It to Its ancestral plant, bul
they huve never beeD certainly sue
cessfuL As soon as a botanist dis-
covers a wild plant closely akin to It
some other scientist suggests that the
“wild" plant Is a degenerate escaped
from cultivation. The Swiss lake
dwellers had two distinct species, one
of which is quite different from any
thing found In the ancient Egyptian
tombs. The earliest Persian writings
note wheat as an old-established
plant, but the usual guess is that it
originated In Mesopotamia. Some day
doubtless, the sands of Mesopotamia
will be as carefully raked as those of
Egypt and yield as rich additions to
man's knowledge of his origins; today
It Is safe to attribute the origin of al
most anything to> Mesopotamia, be
cause we know so little about it

i Dig Factor in Raiding High
Quality Vegetables.
; Tlir best way to produce garden
vegetables of high quality is to have a
good, well prepared seed bed in which
the small seeds may germinate easily
and the young plants may grow quick-
ly Into edible vegetables.
"Thorough preparation of the gar
den soil Is a big factor tu the pro-
duction of high quality vegetables.*
says Robert Schmidt, vegetable spe-
cialist at the North Carolina State
College of Agriculture. “Fall plowing
Is best, but If this has not bet n done,
then the soil should be broken as
soon as possible. Any stable manure
applied now should he well rotted. In
order to be quickly available to the
plants. Most garden soils are deficient
lu lime, and ground limestone used
at the rate of 2,000 pounds to the
acre will result In n big Improvement
In both soils und crops. An exception
Is made In the case of Irish potatoes.
No lline should be applied to the laud
on which Irish potatoes are to be
grown this year.”
Professor Schmidt states that a
well pulverized seed bed Is essential
for the proper germination of the
garden seeds. Even the best seeds will
not germinate tn a pile of clods. Tits
garden rake is a good tool for the
final preparation of the seed bed.
The smaller the seeds that are to be
sown, the more finely should the soil
be pulverized.
Thorough preparation of the seed
bed will make subsequent cultivation
easier, states Professor Schmidt.
Choice Should L Mule on
Basis of Cost of Biant
Food Contained.

Won Out on His Point
In checking up on the time cars
were parked at fledlands. Calif., the
police found a horse and buggy that
had beed there more than the allotted
time. A ticket was placed on the whip
socket ordering the owner to appear
In court. And In a short time 1'. fl
Chevalier did appear and said, “Judge
that ordinance applies only to motor
vehicles and you can’t book me." The
tudge got the ordinance and found
that Chevalier was right.
Thread Quickly Prepared
The process of treating flax for th*
purpose of making linen Is a prolonged
one. the same as was made use of 4.
000 years ago. The flax Is treated t<
a bath In running water for several
days and then the stalks are lieaten tr
remove the undesirable part, leaving
only the lengths of fiber. A recent an
nouncement Is to the effect that
mechunlcal treatment has been de
vised by which th'* operation Is u<
■ompllshed In a few hours.
Individual Cows Cause
of Bitter Miik Trouble
When one or two cows are kept for
the family milk supply, the milk al
Mils time of the year commonly de-
velops an abnormal taste and odor.
It Is now known, says the dairy de
pnrtment of the New Jersey State Col
lege of Agriculture, that the trouble
Is not caused by bacteria, hut by an
enzyme which Is secreted Into the milk
and which breaks down the fut to pro
duce the rancid odor.
The common practice In overcoming
this difficulty Is to cut down the grain
ration to the amount needed by the cov
and to give two or three doses of
ep.sotn salts at Intervals of three days
The milk Is brought to the boiling
point and then rapidly cooled tr
check the development of the bitter
taste.
The same trouble may occur In tin
milk of individuals in larger herds
but the mixture of milk from the herd
"ill cause the ulmorina! condition ti
go unnoticed. The milk from thesr
single cows develops a characterfsth
hitter or salty taste, particularly whet
the cow Is well advanced in her luetn
fion. it rarely occurs, however, when
she is receiving green food. The mill.
Is objectionable hut not necessarily
unwholesome. The cream from such
tnllk chnrns with difficulty and often
not at all.
Founder in Cattle Is
Caused by Many Factors
When a steer that Is being crowded
in the fattening process becomes ex-
tremely footsore, moves about reluc-
-nntly and with difficulty, and Ilea
town most of the time, founder usu
ally 1 r the cause. In the chronic form
of the disease, the hoofs grow long at
the toe, may tend to turn upward und
rings or wrinkles form upon the wall,
under the hoof-heads. Cattle may also
be foundered by over-driving on a
hard road.
Prolonged standing on concrete
floors should he avoided, also drives
on a hard road. Overfeeding with
protein-rich concentrates Is ulso dan-
gerous. Making silage, roots and lin-
seed oilmen! a part of the ration less-
ens the likelihood of founder. Treat
a starting case of founder by stand-
ing the affected anltnal In a creek or
pond, on a soft floor, or where that
cannot be done, let It stand on a floor
deeply covered with clay and kept
-toft with water.
(Jive the animal a few doses of ep-
soio salts and follow with a tabl»
spoonful of powdered ulutn three
times dally for an adult beast. Give
’he dose In water and In two or three
days substitute a like dose of sult-
•peter.

Roger Wolfe Kahn Otto Kahn's
musical genius of a sou praised, at a
dinner at Pierre's, a new novel.
"It’s already In Its eighteenth edl
tlon,” said Mr. Kahn. "The poor devil
who wrote It was on his last logs-
stsrvlng and freezing In an attic. In (
fact, when success came to him Well )
nothing surprising about that."
Mr Kahn smiled and added:
"It’s from our attics that we get out
sellers. ”
Oil Production a Gamble

ment Is very Important. Rapid drill
Ing and rapid production will lessen
the life, while gradnal drilling snd

t^very Beekeeper Should
Raise His Own Queens
It Is not profitable for the beekeeper
to keep a queen for more than two
■•ears. When she reaches that age
lie has passed her prime and will
.-non become of little use to the col-
• >ny. Ofleu the colony will supersede
her by raising a young queen. When

Hunting for bargains Is p «>"r policy
when It comes to buying fertilizer*
•uy* !>r. E. L Wort hen, soils special-
ist of the New York Stole College of
Agriculture, Ithaca.
The choice should he made on the
basis of the cost of the plant food
Contained and uot on the ton price
•f the fertilizer, he suggested Tills
necessitates an understanding of the
guaranteed analysis and in addition
the ability to analyze the price lu
terms of plant food, lie said.
Co-operative Buying Best.
Farmers will he able to get plant
food at the lowest figure through the
co-operutlve buying of fertilizer ma-
terials In cur lots, according to Doc-
tor Wort hen.
Much publicity has been given the
lust few years to the economy of
high analysis fertilizers. It Is true
that of the factory-mixed fertilizers
those classing as high analysts are In
general a better buy than the mixture
falling In the low analysis group. In-
variably u worthwhile saving cun he
made by shifting from low analysis
to high analysis mixed fertilizers. In
changing from a 2-8-2 to a 3-12-3 mix-
ture, the same amount of plant food
can be secured and a saving of 20 per
cent, or one-flftll, made lu the fer-
tilizer expenditure.
Not Necessarily Good Buy.
However, a fertilizer Is not neces-
sarily n good buy because It is high
In analysis. For example, the 2-12-2
und 2-16 2 analysis used extensively
in certain states for corn and other
grain crops cannot be Justified, be-
en use the 2 per cent of ummonla and
the 2 per cent of potash are prohibi-
tive In cost. The same amount of
money Invested In acid phosphate or
In rock phosphate would give better
returns. A saving of nearly ' ft per
cent can be made by purchasing a
5-10-5 Instead of the 4-8-4.
Where mixed fertilizers are used,
home mixing offers a saving over any
grade of factory-mixed goods. Home
ndxtures can be made for from $5 to
$10 a ton less than the same grade of
factory-mixed fertilizer costs the
farmer.
To a considerable extent fertilizer
materials such as add phosphate, ni-
trate of sofla, sulfate of atiitpoiila, and
muriate of potush can be used with-
out mixing. Plant food can be se-
cured at a lower figure lu materials
si this kind than In mixed goods.

Winter Is Best Time to
Prune All Fruit Trees
It is best to prune fruit trees dur
Ing the dormant season any time after
the leaves have fallen. Pruning done
then has an Invigorating effect on the
trees, whereas an equal amount of
pruning done In the summer weakens
them, because It deprives the trees of
foliage before thut foliage has an
opportunity to contribute to the fruit
growth of the tree, according to Prof.
Joseph Oskatnp at the New York State
College of Agriculture at Ithucu, N. Y.
Ill effects from pruning when the
wood Is frozen are usually considered
unimportant because the wood Is sel-
dom Injured from to
m The way the cut Is made has a di-
rect bearing on the healing of the
wound, if a stub Is left, decay Is
likely to start before the wound heals,
so branches should be cut flush. Small
wounds need no protectldf), but larg*
ones should be painted with a thick
white lead and oil paint. Here, too.
the winter Is most desirable, becuu e
•during the summer the caustic action
of th4 paint may hinder the healing
of the wound.
Many different kinds of tools are
available fur pruning, but the most
satisfactory work is done with those
that are strong and shurp, regardless
of the kind.
