corded in the Prairie Farmer, by J. 4.
Rosseau, where two bushels Of wheat and
one Of oats were mixed and sown together
in the fall, on one acre. The oats shot up
rapidly, and we're, Of course. cut down By
the frost. They however furnished a warm
covering for the earth. and when the snow
fell among the thick stalks and leaves, they
kept it from blowing away. This cover
ing prevented the win,er-killing Of the
wheat, and the oats Welded rich top-dsess-
ing for the crop the following spring. The
result was an abundant crop, Wills lands

Of emitting the cats, were utterly worthless.
