It Is well known that under the stimulus of Government price an | enormous wheat crop has been pro duced, a crop of approximately 1,200,- 000,000 bushels. It Is estimated that this country re quires 600,000,000 buehels and that Europe will require from 410,000,000 to 460,000,000 bushels. If these figures prove correct, there will be a very lit tle surplus left of the big coop. of wheat this country has grown. Since it appears to be probable that there will be no troublo to dispose of the present crop the next question is, what arc the planting prospects for other wheat growing nations? Of course the nation* south of the equator, like Argentina and Austra lia, that have their Hummer when we are havipg our winter, havo already sown fhelr fail crops, and will har vest them near Christmas time: These nations have, thus far, good prospects; but they would hardly compare with any two loading wheat-growing states. of this country; therefore, they are not Important factors.

Demobilization of armies progresses slowly and the pe [ rlod for fall sowing of small grain In Europe will have passed before any material change can be made through recovery of labor from the armies. Therefore, there la going to be a continued shortage of small grain In Europe, .making It probably necessary for this country to supply as much grain next year as this. liut Instead of the nation maintain ing Its wheat acreage. It Is fear ed the withdrawal of the Government's guarantee will result in a reduction. In the South It Is not only a good farm practice to grow wheat, oate and rye enough for home needs, but it is very desirable, (1) to have wlnUr cover crops that will take up the plant food that would otherwise wash out of the soil with the winter rains; (2) to provide light winter grazing for livestock; (3) to furnish in early spring some fresh cereal hay which will be the better if it has vetch or bur clover growing with It; (4) to furnish vegetable matter or humus to turn Into the soil at the spring plow ing. If all the cotton and corn flelde were sown to small grain in the fall, it would mean more cotton and corn, j better soil, larger returns frbm fer tilizers and greater farm profits.

KEEP MACHINES IN REPJffi Beparaton Out of Adjustment Art Cause of Qreatect Trouble—ThrMh erman Should Study Manufac turer's Instruction#. (Prepared by the United State# Depart ment of Agriculture.) Kvory Important grain state has been losing over a million boabels of (train each year because of Inefficient threshing methods, declare Investiga tors of the United States department of agriculture. The government, by bringing this enormous loss to the at tentloa of fnrmers and threshermen and showing them how to avoid It, saved 22,000,000 bushels of grain In the 21 states In which the educational work was carried on laßt year. When an average of eight bushels of grain Is lust on every farm In the United Sfiites n* threshing time every year, that loss begins to have a per sonal meaning. With wheat worth (2.26, It Is well worth while to pre vent that loss, If passible. And It Is entirely possible. The chief source of loss Is the Inefficient operation of threshing machines. Any standard threshing machine will do satisfactory work if kept In repair and operated Intelligently. If the op erator knows his machine, and sees that It Is •properly adjusted and op erated, grain will come through clean and losses will be small. The farmer should know enough about the general operation of a threshing machine to detect poor work, which means a di rect loss to him. Adjust Separator Carefully, To do good work the separator must be set level, both crosswise and length wise, and then carefully adjusted to the particular Job at hand. The greater part of the separation Is done In the cylinder and immediately after the grain passes over It. If cracked grain# are frequent there may be too much f Large pile chow* grain waited while threshing 2/ 3 bushel*—B pints In this Instance. Small pile thowe grain watted after adjustment* had been made to machine—less than 1 pint The unnecessary loss of 7 pints occurred every two minutes the eeparator waa In operation. Thla means that 4>/ t per cent of the grain was lost end play of the cylinder, the speed may be too high, or the concaves nyiy be set too high. The teeth may be crooked or too high and not centered. Too rapid speed will also crack grain. Dry grain demands a low£r speed of the cylinder. Onthreshed "beads are often found In the tailings. This results from missing or broken teeth, or teeth too far apart, not centered, or badly worn; concave set too low, or' concave with not enough teeth. The speed of the cylinder also cause* many unthreshed heads. Damp, nnrlp'e or moldy grain requires more than normal speed of the cylinder to thresh It out well. Operator Should Know Machine. flraln Is lost through the Improper adjustment of other parts of the sep arator as well as the cylinder, so It Is evident that the operator must be thoroughly familiar with the entire machine. It may not be possible to save all the grain now lost, but the careless operator who docs not know how to adjust the different parts of his machine will waste a great amount un necessarily. He will surely have to make frequent stops for adjustment. Every time a machine stops the whole crew mast be Idle until It starts again —a loss of time to everybody con cerned. Manufacturer* furnish Instruction books on the c*re and operation of their threshing machine. They have spent year* In experimenting, and they know how their machine* should be run to secure the most satisfactory results. A crest deal of the trouble 4t|iertenced by the thresbermun Is duo to his disregard of or even neglecf to read the manufacturers' Instructions. There are other ways In which grain can be aaved. but the proper »i>eratlon of the separator Is the most Important. Efficient operation of the threshing machine should interest both thresher men and farm era. Super-Butchery.

A TIP FROM UNCLE SAM To Hl# Nl#«## and Nephews; "Beware of the man *ko offers yom T —•* thing 'Just as good' tor your Government securities," REGULATION TO PREVENT INTERSTATE SHIPMENT OF TUBERCULAR CATTLE It I* Impossible to Tell the Tubercular From the Healthy Cows by Ex ternal Appearance. (Prepared oy the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The regulation prohibiting, after July 1, 1019, the interstate movement of cattle for breeding or dairy pur poses unless they are properly tuber culin-tested, will prove to be a long step toward the control of tuberculo sis and Its eventual eradication In this country, according to officials of the United States department of agricul ture. It supplements and strengthens state regulations on this subject. The object of the regulation is spe cifically to prevent the Interstate ship ment of diseased animals to cattle breeders or dairymen who are trying to drive out or keep tuberculosis from their herds. Cattle consigned to a pub lic stockyard, and steers and strictly range cattle may be moved Interstate without restriction under the new regulation. Copies of the regulation, which has been Issued by the secretary of agri culture and is known as regulation seven of bureau of animal Industry or der 208, are being printed, and will be available soon for cattle owners, deal ers, veterinarians and others who may desire them. The regulation of interstate move ment of cattlo follows the same prin ciple used successfully in the control of other animal diseases, and has been recommended to the department of agriculture by many cattle owners as an essential part of the campaign against tuberculosis, which Is now get ting well underway, and In which the federal government and 42 states are co-operating. What Cattle May Be Moved. Cattle known to be tubercular may be moved Interstate for Immediate slaughter under federal Inspection. They must be marked for Identifica tion; njnst be accompanied by a cer tificate showing their condition, that they may be shipped interstate, and the purpose for which they art shipped ; transportation companies must Identify the cattle as tubercular Not Appreciated.

Pure-bred cattle which have been shipped Interstate for breeding or feed. Ing purposes, and which have reacted to the tuberculin test subsequent to such shipment, may be reshlpped In terstate upon proper certificate for purposes other than slaughter, pro vided they are consigned to the orig inal owner at the same point of origin; the reshipment must be made within four months of the original shipment; they shall not be shipped to any state or territory that does not provide for quarantine of tubercular cattle; they cannot again be shipped Interstate except for Immediate slaughter under government inspec tion; requirements of Identification and disinfection must be observed. Briefly, heifers may be moved Inter state for feeding or grazing on certi fication that they will not be used for other purposes, and cows may be shipped Interstate from public stock yards on affidavit to the same effect Bulls may be shipped from public stock yards for feeding provided the owner or shipper makes affidavit that they nre for feeding only, and the state to which they arc shipped provides for quarantine.

BETTER THAN WOODEN FENCE Wall Conttructed of Loose Stones Has Many Points of Superiority —Harmonizes With Nature. The New England stope wall, as a feature In landscape scenery. Is some times spoken of as a deformity; yet It cannot be denied that the same lines of wooden fence would mar the beauty of our prospect In a greater degree. On account of the loose manner In which the stones are laid one upon an other, as well as the character of the materials, this Wall harmonizes with the rude aspects of nature better than any kind of masonry. It seems to me less of a blemish than a trimmed hedge or any other kind of fence, unless In ornamental grounds. In wild pas tures and lands devoted to rustic la bor, the stone wall Is the most pictur esque boundary mark that has yet been Invented. A trimmed hedge In such places would present to the eye an In tolerable formality. One of the charms of the loose stone wall Is the manifest ease with which It may be overleaped.
