This wheat has a pedigree almost as ro- mantle and interesting as that of the average ducal family, The story goes That about the year 1841 a farm .hand who had been working for a brother Bent called David Fife, a farmer near , Peterborough, in Ontario, returned to his native Caledonia with instruc- tions to send out a Scotch bonnet to his late master. He purchased such , an article in Glasgow, and before despatching it took a stroll through the docks. There he came upon a boat unloading a cargo of what struck him as particularly fine wheat. It occured 'to him that a- sample might be, acceptable to Mr. Fife, so he pur- loined enough to fill the bonnet -and despatched it to theexile. Fife sow- ed the seed! in-. the spring of 1842. Most of it grew, but cattle got among it and devoured it all but three heads. These were preserved out of curiosity and sown again. A pint of seed was secured next year, and' it in turn a year later gave half a bushel. The %tock gradually increased, and 1°ife dissove{red that his new brand of wheat escaped the rust which was. devastating all other types and driv- ing the farmers of Ontario ti de- spair. ,The fame ef, the new . wilt at soon spread, and, its seed was in great request. Red Fife was introduced into West- ern Canada in 1876- and for many years was the staple wheat. It gave excellent. yields, and its milling .and baking qualities were excellent.. But as settlement increased and. the country north of the C. P. R. main line was opened up, farmers in the more northerly areas came to dis- cover a vital defect in Red Fife, It often failed to ripen in time to be cut before the early frosts of August, which were perhaps commoner in those days of sparser . cultivation but are not to -day unknown, came down to bring blackening ruin upon many a first-class crop. Dr. William Saunders, a Devonian, had been appointed the organizer and first director of experimental farms in Canada, and had interested himself with success in the improvement Of fruit trees by , cross -breeding. He turned his attention in 1888 to solv- ing the problem of the western ta- mers by finding a new type of wheat. Year after year he labored at his experiments without success. But in 1903 his son, Dr. Charles E. Saunders, who had assisted hen in his experi- euehts= eras attracted by the appear- ance of the grains on a single plant and isolated them. In 1904 he plant- ed them in a small pint in the experi- mental garden and twelve plants grew. The male parent was Red Fife, and the female was sprung from a group- called Hard Calcutta. The yield was less than a pound of grain, and was stored away in a paper packet no larger than an envelope, while the name Marquis was assigned to it. In 1905 the stock increased, and by the autumn of 1906 two-thirds of a bushel was secured. In 1909 four hundred samples were distributed to farmers in different : localities. The ' sl awaited,but reports were anxiously when they came in they were found to be a unanimous chorus of praise. The early wheat so long sought for had been found. Its fame spread abroad in. the land, and,for two years there was not enough Marquis seed to go round. But this state of affairs soon passed, and Marquis is now the staple wheat of Western Canada.

On this account it is advisable to have a supply before them at all tines. Either rock salt or ground salt may be used but in either case it should, be placed in a receptacle in which it will be sheltered from the rain or much of it will be lest. Young grow- ing animals usually require a -.larger percentage of salt than do mature animals. Horses are no exception in the mat- ter of salt requirement. Here again it should be regularly supplied. A cake of rock salt in the corner of the manger where the horse can get it at will is the best means of provision. Horses at heavy work require more than those that are idle or . at light work.

SALT IN LIVE STOCK RATIONS Common ' salt (sodium chloride) plays an important part in the diet of most classes of farm animals, This will be better appreciated if we stop to consider that, of. the minerals in the fluids ofthe body, 'salt is present in the largest amount. Salt does not contribute directly to the energy of the body as does the food consumed, but nevertheless, it is necessary in the proper nutrition of the body. 'Besides its physiological action, salt serves as of these regions, and its earliness in ripening has averted large annual s rust. as well h frost and hrou losses through as making possible the growing of wheat in districts which were deem- ed too far north in the past.
