Try It I Sold in This City n - THE ROMANCE OF WHEAT. Onco Raised For Princes Only, Now the World's Food. Wheat is the food of princes and peasants. It is the food of tin' world. It was known to be the best food for Hfty centuries, but it did not until thirty or forty years ago become unl vorsal. Every community ate all it raised. There was none to s< "?? It was so precious that only kings and the nobilities could afford it. It was sowed by peasants, who reaped it With a sickle by hand. For 5.000 years no better plan was conceived than the sickle and the scythe, 'then catne the reaper, an Invention by Cy rus H. McCormick, of Scotch-Irish de scent. Then the world began eating while bread. This new machine, the reaper, when it was full grown into (he self binder was equal to forty sic kles. With one man to drive it. it could cut and bind enough wheat In one season t<> feed ?loo persons. In its most highly de veloped form, the combined harvester and thrasher, it has become so gigan tic a machine that thirty-two horses tire required to haul it. This leviathan cuts a fifty foot road way through the grain, thrashes it and bags it at the rate of one bag every half minute. And the total world production of reapers of every sort self binders, mowers, headers, corn binders, etc.?is probably as many as 1,500,000 a year, two-thirds of them being made in the United States. Because of this harvesting ma chinery the wheat crop of the world is now nearly twice what it was in is7'.?. The American crop has multi plied Six and a half times in fifty years. Western Canada. Australia, Siberia and Argentina have become wheat producers. The eosl <>f growing one bushel in America with machinery and high wages is now aboul half a dollar, which is less than ilie eosl in Europe and as low as the cost in India, where laborers can be hired for a few pen nles a day. With a sickle the lime cost of a bushel "f wheat was three hours. With a self binder it i-- now ten minutes. Then came the steamboat and the railroad that carried the grain. At the outset it was shipped in hags. Then some rail way genius invented the grain ear, which holds as much as twenty or twenty live wagon loads, and today one of the ordinary moving pictures of an American railroad is a sixty ear train traveling eastward with enough wheat In Its rolling bins to plve bread to a city of 10.000 people for a year. The Siberian railway, which is the longest straight line of steel in the world, was built largely as a wheat conveyor. So were the railways of western Canada, Argentina and India. It is cheaper to carry wheat from one country to another than from the barn to the nearest town, 't he average distance that an American farmer lias to haul his grain is nine ami a half miles, and the average cost of haulage is 0 cents for a hundred pounds. Thus it has actually become true that to carry wheat ten miles by wagon costs more than 2,o00 miles by steamship. Such Is the tense efficiency of our wheat carrier system that a bushel of grain can now be picked up in Mis souri anil sent to the cotton spinners of England for a dime. First Feeding of Chick*. Don't feed raw dough or rough mush to young chicks such us you feed larger Chicks. Raw dough sours iu the crop and brings on all sorts of bowel troubles. If you want to feed this stuff cook It well beforehand Well menus through and through, not jltsl a hard crust on the outside and the middle a soggy, wet mash. This is as bad as feeding It raw. Chicks will do well for awhile on a grain ration alone, but they will do bellet- If fed a little meat from the tirst. If the grain ration is dry and sweet chicks can be fed a little green ItltEARFAST in Tin: foiT.rnv YAt:r>. cut bone from the very first .lust a little thrown in so that each chick can gel a morsel or two will help wonder fully. If y-ni ever dropped a bit of uie.it into a brooder full of two weeks-old chicks IIlid saw them scram ble and light over it you won't doubt thai they needed It, Cooked meat Olli up very line is safer ami perhaps jiisi as good, but it Is COStly, However, cost should be little considered in feeding chicks for the first few weeks, as a foundation can be then secured well worth many limes Iis cost. Feed your poultry ieg uhiily. They will come to know you and wait for you and are all the belter for it. The Illustration will give you ?u idea. Winter Radishes. Try some winter radishes. They are easily grown and will' be greatly en joyed when fresh Vegetables from the garden cannot be had every day. The soil should be deep, tine and rich and well ?applied with moisture. Either red or white varieties may be secured from all seedsmen, SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. (Schedule Effective June 20, 1909.) X. H.?
