Chicago, 11L "I want to tell you
what Lydia K. Pinkliara's Vegetable
Compound did for me. I was so sick
that two of the best doctors in Chicago
said 1 would die if 1 did not have an
operation. - I had
already had two
operations, and
(hey wanted me to
go through a third
one. I suffered day
and night from in
llammation and a
small tumor, and
never thought of
seeing a well day
again. A friend
told me how Lydia
E. Pinkhain's veg

Making Money
On the Farm
V. Wheat Raising
By C.-V. GREGORY,
Author of "Home Course In Modern
Agriculture
Copyright, 1909.' by American Press
Association
ONE of the most Important gralu
crops grown In this couutry Is
wheat. It Is second In value
and acreage only to corn. Not
withstanding the great Importance of
the wheat crop butIIttle attention has
been paid to Improved methods of cul
ture. Wheat Is largely looked upon as
an extensive crop. Most farms In the
Wheat belt are large. This Is especial
ly true of the spring wheat belt In
northwestern United States and south
era Canada. It Is no uncommon sight
there to see a section or more in one
field. Wheat follows wheat year after
year. Little live stock Is kept, and no
manure Is applied to the land. Under
this treatment the seemlogly exhaust-

less supply of fertility Is becoming
worn out The humus especially bus
been used rapidly, with uo source of
renewal. Usually it does not take
more than a decade of continuous
wheat growing to reduce the yield one
hall Conditions In the winter wheat
belt are not so bad, but there Is much
room for improvement there also. Not
only Is continuous wheat growing hard
on the soil, but it does not distribute
the work evenly throughout the year.
In the spring there Is a rush to get the
seed In. In the fall there Is a still
greater rush to get' the crop harvested
and thrashed. The rest of the year
there is little to do. What the wheat
farmer needs is diversification more
live stock, more crops and rotation.
The wheat belt and the corn belt
should be mixed up more. Many farm
ers In the corn belt raise wheat as one
of the leading small grain crops. Many
others would find it profitable to do so
Classes of Wheat.
Wheat Is divided into two general
classes winter and spring Winter
wheat Is sown In the fall, makes a con
siderable growth and comes up and
heads out the next season. Spring
wheat Is sown In the spring In much
the same manner as oats. In Minne
sota, the Dakotns and other states of
the same latitude or farther north
spring wheat is the only kind that can
be grown successfully since the se
vere winters are fatal to the fall sown
varieties. In the northwest, however,
the warm winds from tho Pacific so
moderate the climate that winter
wheat can be grown successfully. Far
ther south, In the winter wheat belt,
the bulk of the wheat Is sown in the fall
There are many objections to winter
wheat It does not make as high a
quality of flour owing to the smaller
gluten content It is the gluten that
gives the gummy consistence to bread
dough that causes it to rise when
mixed with yeast Winter wheat occa
sionally winter kills, resulting In a
loss of the seed and the work of seed
ing. The most serious objection In the
corn belt Is that It does not work In
well after corn, which Is the accus
tomed place for small grain In the ro
tation. These objections are overbal
anced, however, by Its greater yield
ing ability. The start which It gets
In the fall enables it to come up much
more vigorously In the spring and give
about twice as many bushels per acre
as can be obtained from the spring
varieties.
. Wheat Is further subdivided Into
hard and soft varieties. The soft
wheat makes a flour that Is unsulted
to breadmaklng because of Its lack of
gluten. It Is used extensively In mak
ing crackers. The amount of soft
wheat grown for market Is compara
tively small.
A new variety of wheat known as
macaroni has been Introduced Into the
western states within the last few
years. It is very high In gluten and
is much used In the manufacture of
macaroni. It does not make a very
high quality of bread owing to Its yel
lowish color. The chief advantage of
macaroni wheat Is that It can be
grown In regions where the rainfall Is
too scanty for the standard varieties.
Will Wheat Run Out?
There Is a widespread Impression
that wheat will run out if grown In
the same locality for a number of
years. Experiments at a number of
stations show that this Is not so. The
real cause for wheat running out Is
continuous culture on the same land,
with little attention paid to seed selec
tion. Another fact that experiments
have brought out is that the standard
varieties are superior to most of tho
new ones. Every year seedsmen make
claims of wonderful yields obtained
from new varieties, not only of wheat

jut of other crops as well. In most
:ases these claims are entirely un
founded Before introducing a new
variety It will pay to write to your ex
periment station for Information re
garding It Even If they recommend
It the safest plan Is to try only a few
acres at first until you see whether or
not It Is adapted to your particular lo
cality. Where winter wheat can be grown It
will pay to,.raise It in spite of Its dis
advantages. It can be worked Into the
rotntfou by sowing It after oats In a
rotation of corn, onts, wheat, clover.
The clover seed may be scattered on
the ground among the wheat plants
early In n spring. Another method
of using winter wheat In the rotation
Is to cut the corn early for silage or
fodder and sow the wheat on the corn
Btubble ground. The trouble with this
method Is that It Is usually so late
before the corn' can be got off the
ground that the wheat does not get
enough of a start to enable It to with
stand an extra severe winter. There
Is an advantage In having wheat fol
low corn or some other cultivated crop
In that the weeds will bother much
less. The work of seeding Is also less
since the ground does not need to be
plowed.
Preparing tho Ground.
Wheat, like oats, needs a firm seed
bed. Corn ground which has been run
over twice with a disk Is an Ideal seed
bed. It Is fine and mellow on top and
firm beneath. There Is nothing to pre
vent the capillary moisture from ris
ing rapidly to the loose top layer,
where It Is held Just where the roots
need It .When wheat follows some
other small grain the ground Is so hard
that except In the case of very loose
soils, the disk will have little effect on
It Such ground must be plowed.
Plowing for wheat does not need to be
very deep. Many farmers practice
burning the stubble before plowing,
since in this way many Insects and
weeds are destroyed, and the capil
lary connection Is restored quicker.
Some humus Is lost In this way, but
the advantages gained In many cases
make it more profitable to obtain the
needed humus in some other way. ,
The soil should be well disked and
harrowed after plowing to make a
fine, compact seed bed. With wheat
as with oats, considerably better yields
are obtained by the use of a drill. In
loose or dry soils the press drill Is a
big advantage. The wheels that fol
low pack the soil over the seed. This
brings the soil Into closer contact with
the wheat grains, and they will ab
sorb moisture faster and begin to grow
sooner. This quickness of starting Is
of much Importance In fall sown
wheat near the northern limit of the
winter wheat belt, since there every
thing depends on the wheat making a
good growth before the ground freezes.
Earllness of seeding is Important for
the same reason. If you cannot get
your winter wheat In early and by
early Is meant the first half of Sep
temberit Is better to wait until
spring and sow a spring variety.
The ground for spring wheat should
be prepared In much the same manner
as for oats. The rate of seeding where
a drill Is used should be five or six
pecks to the acre, with either spring
or winter varieties. When sown broad
cast about a pock more will be need
ed. If there Is much smut present the
seed should be treated as outlined for
oat smut In article No. 4. The seed
should be fanned and graded and test
ed for germination.
Rotation In Wheat Farming.
In the great spring wheat regions
the introduction of a crop of clover
every two or three years will material
ly Increase the yield. The growing of
clover will mean some live stock to
eat It, and the manure thus obtained
will still further Increase the wheat
yields. The Introduction of some of
the other grain and forage crops will
equalize the demands upon the soil
and add to the profits obtained from
HQ. X WHEAT WELL STACKED.
the farm. Experiments at the Minne
sota station showed an increase of 50
per cent, or seven bushels to the acre,
In wheat following cultivated crops
over wheat grown continuously.
Dairying fits In very well with wheat
farming, especially In localities so far
north that corn cannot be successfully
grown as a grain crop. In such districts
the flint varieties can be raised for
silage and fodder. The wheat follow
ing this corn will be freer from rust,
scab and weeds and will yield much
more. The cows will yield a good
profit for all the feed they consume,
and the work will be more evenly dis
tributed throughout the year.
When wheat Is grown to be sold to
the flour mills the price will depend
directly upon the quality. To get the
best quality wheat should not he cut
until It Is fully ripe. It should not be
allowed to stand too long after it Is
flpe or It will shell out badly. Wheat
should be well shocked and capped.
If not well capped the bran will be
come stained and cracked, Injuring
the appearance and lowering the price.
Stacking Is more advisable than shock
thrashing since It means better qual
ity and more fall plowing.
So much depends on the quality of
the grain and the quality Is so depend
ent on cultivation and harvesting that
It behooves him who Is after satisfac
tory results to make a close study of
the situation. It does not pay to culti
vate wheat Intelligently and harvest
It In a manner that makes all previous
care and labor of little avail.

NEW PENAL - METHOD
Chicago Woman's Plan to Shield
Families of .Criminals.
FAVORS INDUSTRY IN PRISONS
Mrs. Mary E. Ida Would Make the Con.
vict Earn Enough to Save Kin From
the Burden of Hit Crime Favors
Paying For Work at the Union
Wafla.
The speedy disappearance of wife
beaters, home deserters and tramps
and the alleviation of some of the in
justices of the present penal sysieni
are the objects aimed at In an Mc:i
being worked out by Mrs. Mary 10
Ide, 1638 Kenmore avenue, Chicago, n
member of the North Knd Woman's
club and of the League of Cook Conn
ty Clubs, who Is busily engaged In de
veloping the details of her scheme and
enlisting others In Its support.
Mrs. Ide has long seen a great Injus
tice In the modern prison In that the
heaviest burden entailed by the sen
tencing of a criminal to a term be
hind the bnrs falls often not on the
culprit himself, but on his family. The
man goes to Jail and may or may not
be put at hard labor, but his family Is
left out In the world and must shift
for Itself.
"Why, I have even heard of criminal
husbands," said Mrs. Ide In explaining
he plaus, "who held their wives in
submission by the threat that they
would go to Jail for a rest and leave
them without any support at all."
But all this would be changed If
Mrs. Ide could have her way, and Jail
would be far too serious a proposition
and too much like prosaic, everyday
working for a living to be considered
for a moment by the leisurely Inclined.
The gist of the proposed plan is this:
Let the criminal, when sent to jail, be
put at his trade or labor and paid a
regular union wage. Then let his
board and lodging be deducted and the
balance be sent to bis family, so leav
ing the burdens of a jail Bentmicc to
fall where they are Intended to fall.
To carry out the plan It would be
necessary, according to the originator,
to change the prisons about so as to
give them less of the present day as
pect of "houses of correction" aud to
give them more of the nature of "houses
of trades." Mrs. Ide would prefer
that they be made In reality colonies
or virtual little towns, with nil sorts
of factories and Industries and oppor
tunities to put each man to work at
the trade or labor for which be Is
most fitted. If he Is not fitted for any,
let him learn one and go to work.
There would be shoe factories, mat
tress factories, furniture shops, car
pentry shops, printing offices, stonecut
tlng sheds, brickyards, tile manufac
turing plants, and the produefs of all
would be placed on the market and no
loss entailed to the state, for Mrs. Ide
sees In her plan the elimination of one
of the greatest objections to prison
made articles.
'Toy Is the keynote to my plan,"
said she. "If we can pay the prisoner
the regular union wage, I believe that
the greatest obstacle, the opposition
of the trade unions, will be overcome.
Now the prison made articles are man
ufactured by free labor. Let the men
be paid wages and their product put
on tho market. I think that this wage
and the consequent justice to the pris
oners' dependents Bhould obviate the
objections of unions, though I haven't
yet consulted labor leaders.
"The expressions of opinion which I
have received have all been very fa
vorable to my Idea. Superintendent
Whitman of the house of correction
said that It la just the thing we are
coming to, and we may as well take
It up now as later, and Judge Cleland
said that the plan had mauy good
Ideas. 1 spoke to Judge Mack about
It also and asked him If my plan was
Impracticable. He told me I was on
exactly the right track and urged me
to hold to it."
Mrs. Ide Intends to enlist the old of
prominent Judges and lawyers through
expressions of opinion from each and
then start the work of raising popular
subscriptions through personal can
vassing for funds to carry on the cam
paign of publicity. As the club sea
son is over and the aid of women's or
ganizations cannot be enlisted, Mrs.
Ide intends to carry on her work pri
vately through the summer and have
the plan well developed by the time
the women's clubs can take It up In
the fall. She has been promised the
floor at the first meeting of the League
of Cook County Clubs.
Wake the criminal dread the jail
sentence less and crowd the prisons?
Not in the least!" said Mrs. Ide in de
fending her plan. "The criminal is not
the man who will look on the oppor
tunity to support his family under
compulsion as an Inducement to go to
Jail.
"I have had the Idea in my mind for
many years and hope to see It in prac
tice. I believe there is a remedy for
every evil If we can only find it."

READY FOR CHRISTMAS.
Rich Chicagoan Took Time by Forelook
by Buying Art Store's Entire Stock.
Acting under a suddeu Impulse te
prepare for next Christmas, H. L.
Cramer, a rich Chicagoan, bought at
auction the other afternoon the entire
stock of a big board walk art store in
Atlantic City, N. J. While a hundred
gasping patrons, who bad hoped to
buy a picture or cup aud saucer, look
ed on amazed the Chicagoan coolly
proposed to buy the entire place and
as coolly bid In the stock of "old
masters," decorative electroliers aud
other wares for something more than
$ 15,000.
Cramer drew attention to himself In
the last few days by clearing thou
sands of dollars In trades made In
board walk brokers' ofllces. Seeking a
less exhilarating pastime, ' be entered
the nrt store, , saw several picture!
he liked, then, weary of buying them
one by one, said: '
"Say, what do you say to putting up
the whole place and giving a fellow a
chance to get through?"
"The entire stock Is for sale, and we
would just as lief sell It in a lump,"
replied the proprietor:
"That's me," returned Cramer.
"A customer has asked that this en-j
tire place be put up at auction," an
nounced the proprietor to a hundred or
more strollers who had come In to
make small purchases. Nobody object"
ed, and the sale was started at $2,500,
bid by Cramer. Several wealthy spec
tators decided to take a hand, and the
bids mounted by thousands until It
reached the final figure. Cramer gave
his check for the amount before the
crowd had filed out and at once gave
orders that the purchase be packed
and shipped to his country home in
Indiana. '
"I have always desired to be pre-i
pared for Christmas," Cramer sald.i
"This time I bet I'll have enough to:
goaround without worrying next De-
ceniber."
Experts who have knowledge of tho
stock say the purchaser has a big bar
gain. The stock Includes pictures
bought In Europe.
HEART IN CANAL WORK.
Injured Foreman of Dredging Wanted
to Know Excavation Records.
Ilere Is a little human Interest story
which conies from the Tanama canal
rone:
Laurent Uoquebert, general foreman
of the dredging at La Boca, has been
a dredgeuiau at the Faclflc entrance to
tho canal for twenty years or more
In fact, since the time of tho old
French company. While at his work
on the evening of March 29 he was
crushed between two clapcts and has
been lying critically 111 at Ancon hospi
tal. Two days after tho accident the
resident engineer at La Boca went to
see him and was greeted with the
question:
"How many yards?" Requebert re
ferred to the amount of dredging that
had been done In March, and when
told that all records had been broken
he asked:
"And the Gopher-what did she do?"
The Gopher, like the dredgemaster,
Is a heritage from the French. It Is a
seagoing Scotch ladder dredge that has
been at work. at La Boca almost con
stantly for twenty-five years. Roque
bert was at one time the master on
this dredge, and his confidence that It
was the best worker In canal excava
tion was unshaken until October, 1008,
when dredge No. 1 of the Colon first
took the record.
In answer to the question, "And the
Gopher what did she do?" he was
told, "She holds the record by over
8,000 yards."
Tho dredge master closed his eyes,
sighed In satisfaction and said, "I am
so happy!"
SMOKE A BLESSING.
Coal Operator Declares Carbon In it
Is a Boon to Health.
Smoke Is a blessing to the' world and
a boon to health, according to a recent
statement by W. P. Iteud, coal mag
nate, lu reply to au address by Secre
tary E. R. Pritchard of the Chicago
board of health declaring It a nuisance.
"This talk about smoke being a curse
is all nonsense," Mr. Rend declared.
"Take the coal operator, who lu at all
times breathing not only smoke, but
coal dust In .addition. Ills lungs are
black with both, and yet he Is one of
the healthiest men In the world. In
all my experience among coal oper
ators I know of only one who died of
tuberculosis.
"The carbon In tho smoke Is a boon
to health. As the smoke ascends the
carbon contained in it kills germs of
every kind of disease and purifies the
air, and it Is this that this new class
of 'reformers' would do away with.
A Fair Offer.

Veterans, should honor this event."
The sponsor for this celebration is
Miss Ana Jnrvis of 2031 North
Twelfth street, Philadelphia. The first
effort to call the attention of the entire
United States to the proposed celebra
tion was made one year ago. Like
many home products, it received great
er recognition in other parts of the
country Throughout the south nnd
west tne idea spread with wonder
ful rapidity until mass meetings and
public demonstrations of other kinds
were organized aud held before large
audiences.
Necessarily of a sentimental origin
and meaning, the celebration assumed
Its most significant aspect lu the state
prisons and penitentiaries. Tho grim
walls of Leavenworth, Cherry Hill,
Sing Sing aud Nebraska prisons lost
not a little of their sordlduess, and
hearts that had not been otherwise
accessible were touched, maybe only
for the Instant In some cases, but even
the shadow of the mother thought that
fell left 'an impression that prompted
the men to look forward to the cele
bration this year. More than that,
white carnations the symbol of the
day and that which It celebrates ore
to be glveu to the men. Letters from
prisoners to governors of their slates
asking for just nn hour's relief from
tho discipline governing them have
met wilh approval, and services will
be held in the stone corridors and in
the prison yards.
Miss Jarvis has been the recipient of
many touching letters. Iu a feeble
hand that spoke volumes of sorrow
and trial a woman, who simply sign
ed herself "Ills Mother," told a typical
lule of a broken heart. In her letter
this wonmn praised Miss Jarvis for
her "godly thought" nnd said: "I have
a sou and three daughters. They are
all good to me. I want for nothing, as
I need but little. I din very feeble,
aud I know that I have not much
longer to live. He writes to me, and
when ho gives me nn address I write
to him. He Is so kind to mc. ne sends
me money and everything, but will not
come home. He Is wandering nil over
tho world, and I want him to come to
his home if ouly for one night. If I
could only seo him and tell hliu how I
love him I should feel that all the' good
ness that God intended for me In my
old nge was mine. I do not want his
money. I am saving It all for him.
But, oh, if he would ouly come to me
before I die I should be so happy!
Ploaso pray for my boy with me and
ask that ho be sent home."
In this spirit, which surely appeals
to every man aud woman, wear a
white carnation on the second Sunday
in May aud keep lu your heart the
thought of your mother. Go home if
you can. If you can't, hold silent com
munion with her, for ber thought will
surely be of you.
Miss Jarvis' original Idea embraced
the simultaneous observance lu every
part of the world of tho love and rev
erence which all men and women ow
their mothers. The whlto carnation
was especially chosen beeu use of its
whiteness, which stands for purity; its
form and fragrance, representing
beauty and love; Its wide field of
growth and lasting qualities, symbol
izing churlty and faithfulness-all a
true mother's virtues.

CRISP'S GOOD LUCK.
Three Women Have Taken New
Jersey Policeman Abroad.
WILL RETURN IN THE AUTUMN
Reward of tha Misses Jamas of Tren
ton, N. J., For Officer, Captor of a
Burglar Who Entered Their Home.
Will Accompany Him Throughout
Tour of Europe.
Numberless policemen have won med
als for bravery and devotion to duty,
but Policeman Hamilton Crisp of the
Trenton (N. J.) police force is the first
to be rewarded with a trip to Europs
for displaying his courage on one spe
cific occasion. The occasion ln ques
tion was when he caught a burglar
who had the temerity to enter a house
on Greenwood avenue which has long
been the home of the James sisters
Emma, Lillian and Mary maiden wo
men who have amassed a fortune con
ducting a private school for girls.
The burglar was scarcely In the
lockup before the Misses James had
planned a novel reward for the plucky
policeman. They decided that he should '
see Europe and that they should ac
company him on the trip to see that
he didn't get lost while patrolling Pic
cadilly and the Avenue Bols de Bou
logne. The Misses James and their
precious charge were passengers on
the Merlon of the American line, which
steamed from Philadelphia the other
day.
Crisp has been the happiest man in
Trenton since the three women an
nounced that they were going to take
him with them aud keep him abroad
for three months. He felt so light
hearted and light headed he had to
walk sideways to keep from flying.
He told all his friends that he was
afraid to go to sleep for fear he would
wake up and find his ocean voyage
changed luto nn ordinary ferryboat
trip. He is the envy of every police
man on the force.
Many policemen have asked to be
transferred to Crisp's old beat during
his absence ln the hope that burglars
may give them a chance to show that
they are entitled to a trip across the
ocean.
The three James sisters are the last
of one of Trenton's oldest families.
When they close up their school each
year they go to Europe uud remain
for the summer, returning lu tlmo to
receive their pupils for the fall term.
Owing to their well known aversion
to notoriety every attempt was made
to keep the matter a secret, but It be
came known when Crisp asked the
board of police commissioners for leave
of absence. He lakes the three
months' vacation ut his owu expense.
The fact that his pay will be cut off
does not bother .him, because he Is
said to have a large bank account. He
is the only policeman In the city of
Trenton who c:in afford au automobile,
and 01 his day of rest lie tours the
Streets "in his machine. He Is single.
Among other ncfomplishmeuts, he Is a
good singer nnd au all around athlete.
"If I brought back nil tho things I
have beeu asked to bring back It
would take the American fleet to carry
them," said Crisp just before he start
ed for Philadelphia. "All my friends
want souvenirs of the trip. The Irish
members of the department want shll
lalahs, the Germans want steins, and
one follow had the nerve to ask me to
bring him a camel. All my women
friends have requested handkerchiefs,
collars and stuff like that. When I
strike Trenton again I'll look like an
old clothes man, because I'm going to
try to remember everybody." New
