FLOUR MILL ON FARM.
How One North Dakota Man Gets
Greatest Return From Crops.
A North Dakotan realizes the maxi-
mum returns from his wheat and rye
crops by converting these grains into
four which he sells at $3 a hundred
pounds. In his locality it was practi-
cally impossible to obtain good rye,
graham or whole wheat flour, so this
fariner started growing and grinding
his own grain. As he became profi-
tient the quality of the flour improved
untii finally his neighbors were annu-
ally demanding his surplus at hand-
soine prices. This keen demand for
high quality flour increased, until he
lecided that it would pay him to equip
«+ small mill thoroughly and to embark
in the business on a commercial scale.
A stream of considerable velocity
flows through his farm and furnishes
the power with which to operate his
machinery. He equipped his minia-
ture mill with a crusher, a grinder, a
cleaner and an elevator. The income
from his flour business during the first
two years paid for his plant and equip-
ment and yielded him a good net profit.
This miller eliminates all the charges
that usually go to the middle man. He
annually raises about eighty acres of
wheat and thirty-tive acres of rye.
Some of this grain be sells as a cash
rop on account of inadequate bin
room in which to store it, but more
than half of the crop is converted into
flour to he used for human food.
A gasoline engine is also maintained
as a reserve source of power in case
the water power should give out. The
marketable flour is neatly sacked and
sells for $3 a hundred pounds. An-
nually the rye and wheat have a
farm value of about 60 and 82 cents
a bushel respectively where they are
sold as cash crops. At a slight ex-
pense as regards time and labor this
shrewd farmer converts his raw wheat
and rye—that in the hulk are worth ap-
proximately $1.07 and £1.10 a hundred
pounds—into excellent flour that sells
for $3 a hundred pounds.
Yearly this progressive farmer is
gaining an attractive income from his
milling operations, since he also grinds
grain for his neighbors. This labor in
nowise interferes with his farm work.
as the greater share of the mill work
is done during the period when field
work is relatively slack.—Country Gen-
tleman. .

Plowing In Winter.
There is a diversity of opinion as to
the advisability of plowing in winter.
It is generally conceded, however.
that sod lands should be plowed in the
winter season. The freezing and thaw-
ing of the soil put it in much better
condition than it can be put by the
plow and harrow after the spring has
opened.
Winter plowing also destroys many
insects that would damage crops if
they were allowed to live.

Mohammedan Serenity.
A Mohammedan people enjoy one
great advautage over all others—they
never suffer from the anti¢ipation of
that which is to come, and. as a natu-
ral result. they can always enjoy the
present. although only a few hours
may separate them from disaster or
even from death. Their implicit be-
lief in an ordained future imparts a
dignified repose and outwarl calm to
all their actions.—Biackwood’s Maga
zine.
The Feminine Paradox.
The uneducated woman has often
the quickest perception. the finest tact.
the most vivid sensibility. She will
feel without speaking: she understands
your inmost thoughts: she knows with-
out being told.—London Black and
White.
The First Skyscraper.
The first skyscraper was planned (but
not built) by a Parisian architect in the
year 1601. It was to be more than
300 feet high and provide rooms for
500 persons.
