The Huron Expositor, 1921-07-15, Page 7Toronto—William Briggs, • 4 (National Crop Improvement Service.) - "Repeated baking teats have shown that Marquis wheat makes a, loaf of very much liner" quality than any, other of the wheats; that the Durums will make a loaf fairly large- = volume but yellow in color and Coarser in texture. "As the rust menace spreads, there will be great temptation for Canadian farmers to grow a so-called 'rust reeistapt' wheat. The worst of these Is probably Red Durum, which was introduced in North Dakota at a time when runt was making ter- rible attacks on the world's wheht. This wheat Is rathey prolific and has a heavy kernel, but should not de- ceive the farmer because this wheat will not make bread nor macaroni, and its only merit is that it is heavy and may be used In export to improve the weight of light and chaffy grains." says Mr. Bert Ball. director, Spring Wheat Crop Improvement Association. "The Canadian Northwest grows the best spring wheat 1n the world and flour made from it always sells for a superior price. If Canadian farmers will breed•quality, and mar- ket only their finest wheat, mills will always pay it premium for fancy cars." (National Crop Improvement Service.) Canadian oats lead the world for quality and are In great demand for seed In every civilized country, but oats genert.11y receive little attention and are raired in a haphazard sort of way. Very few farmers put In seed - plots, although there is no other crop watch respocds so readily to intelli- gent selectlo:. and treatment. Careful experiments have proven conclusively that the- formaldehyde treatment of the seed for smut fre- quently increases the yield more than would be' naturally expected from simply reptlacing smutted heads with dound on -As. This is probably due to the fact that the limn ds attacked by otiber seed -borne parasites which are as ef- fectually checked an smut, adding to the general health of the grain. Seed Grain Fundamentals. ,.,. 1. Select the variety for your neighborhood best adapted to soil and climate. If it is decided to put in both an early and late oat, do not get, them mixed. It will be fatal to both. - 2. Fan and grade your seed until you have removed all shriveled and broken kernels, sticks, chaff and weed seeds. 3. Test your seeds for germination in a wet blotting paper and plant only strong -sprouting seed. 4. Treat your seed grain with formaldehyde to prevent smut and other diseases. 5. Put oats in early. Hoglight Fences (Continued from last week.) "Little Ann, by gee!" exclaimed Tembarom with mad joy, and shot out of the room. The footman—he had not seen Lit- tle Ann when she had brought Strangeways—looked after him and rubbed his chin. "Wouldn't you call that a rummy sort for Temple Barholm?" he said, • to one of his fellows who had appear- ed in the hall near him. (National Crop improvement Service.) "A hog naturally Is as clean as a dog or horse. While he loves to wallow When rimes aree had and con- ditions are agninrtl him, he also loves to•be clean and will bathe in clean water the same es any other animal," sari' Mr. R. S. Ruler, president, Cana- dian Steel & Wire Co. "Any farmer who is in the hog business, knows thatit does not pay to be chambermaid to a bog any more than absolutely necessary and that a hog in order to be healthy, should harvest his own crops. "So whether pasture of rape or corn is to be utilized, the founda- tional necessity Is a fence which will hold the hog where you puthim and not allow him to do damage to other cropa. "In every rotation the field should be so fenced that the bogs can do all of the harvesting possible. "The cafeteria system of hog feed- ing is the moat profitable and 'bog- ging down fields' is the most econo- mical way to harvest." FOR et P.SiAr A! e 1 A "It's not my sort," was the answer. "I'm going to give notice to old Butt , terworth." Hutchinson and Little Ann were waiting in the ball. Hutchinson was looking at the rich, shadowy spaces about him with a sort of proud sat- isfaction. Fine, dark corners with armored figures lurking in them, an- cient portraits, carved oak settles, and massive chairs and cabinets -- these were English, and he was an Englishman, and somehow felt them the outcome of certain sterling qual- ities of his own. He looked robustly well, and wore a new rough tweed suit such as one of the gentry might tramp about muddy roads and fields in. Little Ann was dressed in some- thing warm and rough also, a brown thing, with a little close, cap -like brown hat, front under which her red hair glowed. The walk in the cold, white fog had made her bloom fresh, soft -red and white -daisy color. She was smiling, and showed three dis- tinct dimples, which deepened when Tonvbarom dashed out of the library, "Hully gee!" he cried out, "but I'm glad to see you." lie shook hands with both of them furiously, and two footmen stood and looked at the group with image -like calm of feature, but with curiously interested , eyes. Hutchinson was a- ware of them, and endeavored to pre- sent to them a back which by its stolid composure should reveal that he knew more about such things than this chap did and wasn't a bit upset by grand- eur. "Hully gee!" cried Tembarom a- gain, "how glad I am! Come on in and sit down and let's talk it over." Burrill made a stately step for- ward, properly intent on his duty, but his master waved him( back. as AiArAh� elfidy r''• 'ird►t: feat business; .fialQ ''slab aroMi, , !'ATt)w >E'm in on the and floor Waith the lrrittlted; .'what's Poing ko lIe the 14094 money. , 0,4t,,lged S 'malt"n sight' -Sold hi Beni "Tke way th talked 'New Yotl, to .them chaps took my fancy," chuckled Hutchieson.

"Say, Little Ann," said. Tembarom, with sudden thought, "who's come in- to money now? You'll have it to burn." - "We've not got it yet, 'Mr. Temple Barhplm," she replied, shaking her head. "Even when inventions get started, they don't go off like sky- rockets." "She ' knows everything, dosen't she?" Tembarom said to Hutchin- son. "Here, come and sit down. I've not seen you for 'steep years." She took her seat in the big arm- chair and looked at him wit.} softly examining eyes, as though she wanted to understand him sufficiently to be able to find out something she ought to do if he needed help. He saw it and half laughed, not buite unwaveringly. "You'l make me cry in a minute," he said. "You don't know what it's like to have some one from home and mother come and be kind to you." "How is Mr. Strangeways?" she in- quired. "He's well taken care of, at any rate. That's where he's got to thank you. Those rooms you and the house- keeper chose were the very things for him. They're big and comfortable, and 'way off in a place where no one's likely to come. neer. The fellow that's been hired to valet me valets him in- stead, and I believe he likes it. It seems to come quite natural to him, anyhow, I go in and see him every now and then and try to get him to talk. I sort of invent things to see if I can start him thinking straight. He's quieted down some and he looks better. After a while I'm going to look up sonic big doctors in London and find out which of 'em's got the most plain horse sense. If a real big one would just get interested and come and see him on the quiet and not get him excited, he might do him good. I'm dead stuck on this stunt I've set myself—getting him right. It's something to work on." '"you'll have plenty to work on soon," said Little Ann. "There's a lot of everyday things you've got to think about. They may seem of no consequence to you, but they are, Mr. Temole Barholm." "If you say they are. I guess they are," he nnewered. "I'll do anything you say, Ann." "I came partly to tell you about "Say," he said hastily, "don't bring some of them to -day," she went on. in any tea.

And he did not look half as twinkling and light-heartedly grin- ning as he had looked in New York. He couldn't help dropping his voice a little coaxingly, though J1ir. Hutch- inson was quite sufficiently absorbed in examination of his surroundings. "Didn't you come to save my life by letting me have a look at you, Little Ann—didn't you?" he pleaded. She shook her wonderful, red head. Hutchinson snorted. He could not stand being consigned to ignominy before the footmen, "Nowt o' th' sort," he broke forth. "We're noan American. Tha 'art los- ing 'the head, lad." IIe's forgetting because he met us first in New York," said Little Ann, smiling still 'more. "Shall I take your hat and cane, sir?" inquired Burrill, unmuvedly, at Htttchinson's side. "He wasn't going to say anything about tea," explained Little Ann as r "No, I didn't, Mr. Temple Bar - they went into the library.

"I thought they served it every time the clock struck.

It's brought up to me by finks! as soon as I wake, to brace me up to put on my clothes—and Pearson wants to put those on." He stopped short when they reach- ed the middle of the room and looked het' over. "0 Little Ann!" he breathed tum- ultuously.

"Eh, lad, tha must -feel like a bull in a china shop." "I feel like a whole herd of 'em," answered Tembarom. Hutchinson nodded. He understood. "Well, perhaps tha'll get over it in time," he conceded, "but it'll take thee a good bit." Then he gave him a warmly friendly look. "I'll lay you know what Ann came with me for and let you—say things to me. You mustn't say them. Father and me are going back to Manchester in a few days, and very soon we have to go to America again because of the business." "America!" he said. "Oh, Lord!" ho groaned. "Do you want me to drop down- dead here with a dull, sickening thud, Ann?" "You're not going to drop down dead," she replied convincedly. "You're going to stay here and do whatever it's your duty to do, now you've come into Temple Barholm." "Am I?" he answered. "Well, we'll sec what I'm going to do when I've had time to make up my mind. It may be sordething different from what you'd think, and it mayn't. Just now I'm going to do what you tell me. Go ahead, Little Ann." She thought the matter over with her most destructive little air of sens- ible intentness. "Well, it may seem like meddling, hut it isn't," she began rathern con- cernedly. "It's just that I'm used to looking after people. I wanted to talk to you about your clothes." "My clothes?" he replied, bewild- ered a moment; but the next, he un- derstood and grinned.
