United States department of agriculture.] 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 A Girl’s Ides.

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 i tured.

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.

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 /£ FT. LONG TOP K/£IV | Alfa- -Zrjl?

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. You never_can_tell w“at cow is do-.

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. / Orcvnofsi 'Y l j&cobr • Sf 0»u«...i .lay C?., Cfc**, Dec. 9th, 1910.
