GOOD FOR EARLY OAT CROP.
Sixty Day or Kherson Oats Boat Oth
ers by About Ten Days.
The two varieties of oats. Sixty Day I
and Kherson, look so much alike
;hat the same description may be ap
plied to both. The plant is a vigor
ous but not rank grower, usually less
Inclined to lodge than varieties with
coarser straw. The head, or panicle, is
loose and spreading, bearing a large
number of grains. The grain is small

HEADS OF SIXTY DAY OATS.

slender, but under favorable condi
tions plump and well filled. Heads
of Sixty Hay oats are shown in the
Illustration taken, with the reading
matter, from a bulletin of the United
States department of agriculture. The
color of the Sixty Day and the Kher
son oats varies with the locality. In
the corn belt the grain is a deep golden
yellow, while farther nortn and in
drier sections it is much paler, becom
ing almost white in the extreme west
and northwest The hull is very thin
and the weight per bushel usually high.
The crop ordinarily reaches maturity
in ninety to a hundred days, or aboul
ten days earlier than most of the va
rieties commonly grown.
The principal objections urged by
farmers against this class of oats are
the yellow color and the small size o(
the berry. In some markets there is a
discrimination in favor of white oats
of 1 or 2 cents a bushel, but by f:u
the larger portion of our oat crop is
fed on the farms where produced, and
yellow oats are just as good for feed
Ing as those of any other color. On
the other hand, on account of its thin
hull this particular type of oats is
higher in feeding value than are most
other varieties.—United States Depart
merit of Agriculture Bulletin.
Making Mulch of Litter.
Don’t burn up any kind of coarse lit
ter that accumulates around the feed
yards, but save to mulch different
plants in the garden. If some manure
is mixed with the litter, so much the
better. Such mulch will make melons,
cucumbers and many other plants bear
more heavily and will save cultivation
after they are well started.
Live Stock Notes.
The durability of the mule is a
strong point in h!s favor. He lives
and works to a good old age. His
“sense’’ of self protection is strong,
and he avoids many injuries.
Tiie colt should be taught to respect
the whip and it will never be worn out
on him.
Oat straw makes a good roughage
for idle horses when it is well saved,
but feed a little hay along with it.
Sheep should be turned out on every
nice clay. Lambs should not be al
lowed to get chilled. Their frail bodies
cannot withstand severely cold weath
er.
No living creature can be very com
fortable with the body ail stained and
smeared with filth. The skin must be
kept clean to be able to do Its des
tined work.
Recent experiments at the lowa sta
tion show that with corn at ordinary
prices cheaper gains on lambs may be
made with dry feed than with roots or
silage.
Speltz makes very good hog feed
when ground, and some folks soak It
for feeding. It has nearly the same
feeding value as wheat

EXPERIMENT FARMS’ VALUE.
They Open the Eyes of Farmers to the
Possibilities of Their Land.
The demonstration farm is just as
necessary to the agriculturist as are the
open air encampment and the sham
battle to the militiaman. The reading
of military tactics can never teach a j
man either to stand steady under tire !
or to capture an entrenched enemy. I
We know this because of the many i
instances where even a brief visit made 1
by some neighboring farmer to these
experimental farms lias utterly chaug- |
e-d practices which have existed for j
generations, practices which during
some seasons have proved fairly su. - j
cessful and which have caused aliso- i
lute failure only at intervals.
For example, shallow ph.-wing got a !
black eye during the . eason of drought j
when the farmers noted the result at j
the experimental stall ns of deep plow- 1
ing aided by frequent shallow cultiva- !
turn, a method which kept corn green :
without wilt and produced a big crop
of fully filled cars, to say inching of
h 1 hy u til a u>r mil crop xv ts ma

The early planting of such e::t:s envy
I hardy vegetable:- as carr<'s and onions,
j will. It with (hem asstir *s a t oed >: t:
j because of the invariably copi .ns rain
fall of early spring, was only adouied
j when dry weather sot in earlier Ilian
j usua!. and we by this method had as
sured ourselves a crop. In Ike man
ner the spraying of fruit trees annual
ly, systematically and thoroughly was
only brought about in the neighbor
hood by the extremely healthy npi;e r
nnee of the small demonstratiod or
chards at the experimental stations,
the farmers saying little, but being
quick to note the dark green of the
foliage and the ban/some appearance
and juiciness of the highly flavored
fruit—H. B. Fullerton In Craftsman.

STRONG FARM SLED.
Easily Built and Substantial Without
Tenons or Mortises.
A writer in the Rural New Yorker,
from which the picture shown here
with is taken, says that every farm
should be provided with one or more
goods sleds, and one built as shown
in the drawing will prove very satis
factory. It is easily built and sub
stantial, as there are no tenons to
make nor mortises, both of which re
quire much labor and seriously weak
en the sled. The frame of the sled is
made of -1 by 4, excepting the blocks
marked X, which are 4 by 0 by 10
inches. Upon these blocks rest the
crosspieces A A A, and upon these
the upper part of the sled frame rests,
all being bolted together with half

inch bolts. Besides the bolts, spikes
should be driven through the blocks X
to prevent their turning should the
bolts become loose. Next come the
diagonal brace B and the crosspiece
at the rear end of the sled just be
hind the standards. The top of the
sled may be floored over if desired.
The tongue is bolted loosely on top of
the front crosspiece and braced with
chains or heavy strap iron braces.
Iron soles should be used if possible,
and good ones are easily made of old
wagon tires.
This sled, as described and shown in
diagrams, should give satisfactory
service, but it may be made higher if
desired, though greater height is not
needed unless to be used in stony or
stumpy fields. Crosspieces XXX
may be 2 by 0 instead of 4 by 4, when
two bolts at each joint can be used
and the diagonal brace B be dispensed
with. The bottom of the sled frame is
nine feet long, and the top from stand
ard to standard is twelve feet.
The place of the thinking farmer
is just the opposite to that of the
“let well enough alone” man. The
fertility of his farm, the yield of his
crops and the general appearance
of his place improve every year.
Dairy Doings.
Most trouble in raising calves comes
from use of dirty pails and troughs.
Give the calf clean water and clean
food that doesn’t vary In quality from
day to day.
Fertility can be built up faster upon
the dairy farm than upon any other
kind of a farm.
Dried brewers’ grains are valuable
to feed with silage to milk cows or
young growing stock, but cannot be
recommended for fattening purposes.
They should not be fed alone, but
should be mixed with heavier and
more concentrated feeds, like gluten
and cottonseed meal.

MILITARY ACCURACY.
Exactness In Keeping Tab on the
Movements of Soldiers.
We hear much of the perfection of
military organization abroad, but it is
doubtful whether any foreign war of
fice follows with an accuracy greater
than that displayed by our own war
department the movements of its of
ficers. The following is an interesting
case in point:
A young army officer who has seen
service in this country and in the east
was once with a scouting party in Ari
zona. After two weeks in the desert
his squad came to the railway near a
small station. Within ten minutes a
telegram from Washington was
brought to him by the station agent.
It asked If the officer wished to be
transferred to one of the new artillery
regiments then forming.
lie answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either of them.
Then with his squad he set off again
across the desert.
It was six days later when they
again struck the railway, this time
eighty miles from the point at which
they had previously crossed it, but the
officer’s reply from the war depart
ment was awaiting him. It had been
telegraphed to every station within
200 miles.
A more striking instance of accuracy
occurred after the same officer’s trans
fer to the east. lie was traveling
home on leave, and. as the regulations
require, he had notified the. department
of the day. hour and probable route
of his journey. After lie bad been on
the train for eight bours at a small
station the porter entered with a tele
gram, asking if any one of his name
was present. On opening the tele
gram the officer found that it ordered
him to detached duty.
Exactness of detail could not be car
ried much further. The war depart
ment knew the whereabouts of an in
significant second lieutenant even
when he was traveling on leave of ab
sence.—New York Herald.
PermanonY.
“Mr. Smith,” spoke up the young
lawyer, “I come here as a representa
tive of your neighbor. Tom Jones, with
the commission to collect a debt due
him.”
“I congratulate you,” answered Mr.
Smith, “on obtaining so permanent a
job at such an early stage in your
career.”—Success Magazine.
Hardly.
A Sunday school teacher, after read
ing the story of Ananias and Sap
phira to the juvenile class, asked,
“Now, children, why doesn’t the Lord
strike everybody dead who tells a lie?”
“ ’Cause,” answered a bright little
fellow, “there wouldn’t be anybody
left hardly.”—Chicago News.
