Oats and their Origin.

At a meeting of farmers club, re
Gently held at Cobourg, Canada, the
secretary gave some account Of the
origin OF oats and the countries where
they grow. Its native country is un-
known, but most probably it came
from Central Asia. There is no men
tion of oats in the Old Testament; we
are told that Solomon fed his horses
and dromedaries on barley. Oats were
however known to the Greeks, who
called them Bronaos, and TO the
Romans, who made use OF them as
provender for their horses, early in
the Christian era The oats are bet
ter suited to a moist than dry, and
10 a cool rather than to warm eli
mate, though their fields ofcultiyation
do not extend quite so far north as
that OF the coarser kinds of barley.
In Scotland, oats are grown to the
north point in Norway their culture
extends to north latitude Sc degrees
in Sweden to latitude 6S degrees 80
minutes in Russia these polar limits
appear to correspond with those Of
rye; south of the parallel of Paris, oats
are little cultivated. In Spain and
Portugal they are scarcely known, yet
they are grown with considerable ad-
vantage in Bengal.

How 10 Work the Roads.

1t is generally understood that tie
present Jaw does away with overseers
of highways and provides that all road
tax be paid in money, except the poll
tax. Our commissioners OF highways
think they have the plan for working
the roads. They propose to hire one
good man to oversee, and as many
men to work under him as can work
to the best advantage, they TO be fur
nished with good teams, plows,
scrspers and such other tools as are
necessary, and to work all the roads
in the town under the direction of the
commissioners of highways. The COM
missioners will divide the labor be-
tween the several roads in the town,
a. the public interest requires The
men will all be hired with the express
understanding that they work ten
hours for day, and that they receive
the sum per day agreed upon at the
end OF each week. As TO the poll tax,
they propose to take two days work
for the two dollars, and those that
prefer to work at that price can do so
under the overseer that is employed.
The commissioners think they can get
double the amount OF work done on
the roads for the same money As under
the old Plan" O. IN Prairie (Ill. J

Removing Old Comb.

z. G. Fairbanks writes the German
town Telegraph : " In reply to tie in
quiry made by your Ohio CORE 2pon-
dent as to whether 6 it is good to re-
move old comb from bees, and II so
what is the best time,' we answer that
it all depends upon conditions. Combs
filed with old bee bread, or cut up
from worms having invested them, II
would pay to remove. Our opinion
is that combs of two decades may be
in as good condition for breeding pur-
poses as virgin comb. If comb needs
removing from bees, and if it cannot be
replaced with good comb, | think the
best time 70 remove it is when the
bees are carp ing in stores. Comb
SO removed, or removed from the
brood. chamber of a stock of bees at
any time, the bees will be very apt to
