A AGRICU / 7 ] RAJ.

THERE is familiar adage, "Prepare for
war in time of peace" That would apply
we'll to farm work at this season of the
year. The golden autumn weather affords
an excellent opportunity for putting things
in readiness for winter. The majority OF
our farm houses are log and the cracks
need repointing every year to keep out the
winter blasts. The cook-room, especially,
should have the most attention. More
hours are spent in this department by the
women folks of the household than any
other, and it is necessary to their comfort
and good health that it be made proof
against cold. Particular attention should
be given to the floor. If this be open and
the underpinning not good, it is impossible
tor the cook to have warm feet, for 1t is not
always convenient to carpet the cook-room.
A day or two given to this work now will
be better than week after the snow be-
gins to fly.

THE experiment tried by Iowa farmers
that of sowing oats with winter wheat, has
met with good success, and our Montana
farmers will do well to remember it another
year and give it fair trial. There are
many localities where the snow does not lie
where it would be beneficial. One bushel
of oats in addition to the regular amount OF
wheat is sown TO the acre. This forms a
good coating for the ground, and will hold
the snow and protect the wheat. 1t is also
said to have good effect in enriching the
soil, matter of great importance to large
yields yet little regarded under our present
system of farming. Those who live in To-
calities where winter wheat is inclined to
kill out will do well to make note Of this
for use next year. The progressive farmer
treasures up the lessons and experiences OF
his neighbor one year, for his own use the
next.
