Wha .taCct Wheat
In about three weeks the wheat har
vest will be ready for the reaper. :Bad
straw, must and, mildew, ii4 the less of
much grain -by shelliD' out, eoine or
all of these -will be the penalty for allow
ing the grain to stand until it is dead
ripe. As to the quality of the kernel,
the Germantown Telegraph remarks .
"It should remembered that wheat la
composed of . gluten, starch and bran.
Gluten is the nourishing quality of the
grain which makes the flour stick togeth
er in the hands of the baker, and gives
weight to the grain; and there. is the
greatest quantity of gluten in th8 grain
just, when the straw is yellow two or
three joints from the ground, the head
turns downward, and when you can
tash the grains between the thumb and
finger without producing any milk. It
may, therefore, be set' down as an indis
putable truth that every day the wheat
stands after this stage of ripeness, the
gluten decreases in quantity and. the
bran increases in thickness , and thus di
minishesjln. value, in addition to the dan
ger from mast and other risks. Besides
early-harvesting, where clover has beea
sown with the wheat, gives the young
plant a better opportunity to push ahead
o that it will iff ord earlier pasture at
the beginning of autumn and thus pro
vide excellent food for milk cows, it be
ing at that time very nutritious, with
out the pasturing having any injurious
effect upon the general crop the follow
ing year.
In fact, from a number of carefully not
ed experiments or tests made by intelli
gent farmers as to the results between
early and late harvesting of the wheat
crop, decided advantages in favor of the
former have been clearly estahlisked.5

.We notice quite a number of the jour
nals of the State speak very favorably
of Dr. Will am Bishop of Salina for the
office of State Superintendent of Public
Instrnction. we feel confident to say
that the Doctor if elected will make one
of tho most efficient State5 Superinten
dents we ever had. The positions
which he held in our Universities and
colleges , the active purt whieh be has
taken in the educational field for'a num
ber of years is sufficient proof of his
qualifications. That he is an earnest
and effective worker in the education
al field we have the assurance from the
good work done in our county during
his office of County cuperiutendetn and

. . r -Taking i Tl,
U hen a pill ? corai-a vcithin the
cliarmetl circle of a person's .teetli the
throat kicks. It puts up the shutter
ind closes the door. It apparently de
sires to go out of business. The same
throat may take in chunks of uuchew
able beefsteak as big as hickory nuts
and other stores for the interior depart
ment by the side of which a pill of the
largest growth would besui insigidfl
cantaflair, but it draws the linettt pills.
It shuts up shop and says to you just
aa plain as can be: "You don't send
any pills past me if I know it." This
action of the human throat in the mat
ter of pills is very curious and mysti
fying to the ordinary mind, and we
wonder that '3atthew Arnold and oth
er great thinkeas have hot given it
more attention, asid .sought to make
clearer or the rest of us the reason
wfiv the human throat is tints appar
ently so unreasonable.
You get about eleven or tharteefi of
th ese pi lis, big, smoot h fei k ws rol 1 i n g
about in soine 'sort of yellow powder,
and yoy go hoiue and take one of them
according to the rules and regulations
on the box; The- whoh family eome
into the room to i?ee the performance,
of course. They have taken pills in
their time, and they know there hs fun
in a pill performance when they are
spectators only. You probably say
that you are not gouag to have any
foolishness with that pill; you are just
going to swallow it right dowii and be
done with it. Then you iake a pill out
of the box, open your mouth, throw
your head back, drop in the pill and
make seven or eight desperate swal
lows. The pill conies smiliug and with
its yellow overcoat and a good deal of
its high flavor worn offon your tongue,
and you look a little disappointed.
Some one who has had a wider ex
perience than the others with pills will
tell you to try a swallow of water with
it. All right. You're willing to take
advice in this your hour of need YVu
drop the pill into your mouth and hast
ily drink a half a glass of wnter.
Where is the pill nowfOb, it is snug
enough down by the side of your
L tongue. It didn't .go dou- wilh tlie
freshet. It is m traveling ,hy water
this season. "Try ome grated apple,"
suggests the person with the advice on
tap. All right, bring the grated apple.
You are willing by this 5me to try
anything that promises toileoeiveyour
throat to letting that pill through- It !
is covered nicely in the very centri. of j
a spoonful of grated apple, and with a j
weak sort of a smile you throw 'your j
head back, put the contents of the
spoon on your toKgue aud swallow j
all the grated apple. The pill lingers
for an instant aboi.it the palate, iw if it
lutdrorgotteu the assword, and then
comes slowly up to the teeth, leaving
a good deal of its individuality all
along its track-
; Now bread is suggested for a disguise
for the pill. - This is a good idea. Why
didn't some one think of that before?
Y'ou chew up a whole mouthful of
bread, put the pill in the middle of it
and make the greatest effort of your
life in the wty.or'a single swallow.
But tha result is not satisfactory. The
bread goes right along according to
schedule, but the pill is side tracked
and held for further, order.. . By this
time a good part of your trsteorji bad
part of the pill is away, and you feel
that you w'ould know the rest of it by
taste at any future time in your life.
Further, there are the maiks of bitter
ness aiul woe and hatred of the inven
tor of the pill stamiel plainly ujmhi
yur countenance, and mayhap your
feelings are fueli that you cannot
with seemliness express them in
the bosom of your synipathiziiig fanii-
At last, just as you are about to gave
up in despair, some one suggests that
the pill be smashed up and clothed in
jelly. That is the best idea yet. Why
wasn't it thought of sooner?. The pill
is mashed and clothed in jelly, and in
a moment it haa passed the guarded
precincts of your interior department..
It has gone at last, not in its original
form, but as n, broken package, and
when you realize tluit the performance
is over, your face lights up like that of
the Ini jiecunious man who, in the dead
of winter and at Use driest hour of a
mighty dry day finda-a teii-eent bit in
the pocket of a long discarded vest.
To many of us there is not much fun
in taking sx ,.Middleton. Tran
