When to Cul Oats.

When oats are cut green, the grains.
which even when ripe, are small, will
shrink very much, and, consequently, lose
in weight; and when threshed, much
aill be blown away with the chat.
which would not be If it had been left
standing until ripe, and the grains full
grown. Besides this the farmer runs a
great risk in cutting oats before
ripe, especially if he cnts it with reap
or, and ties it up at once, If having it
mold; and the risk il increased if there
should be much rain be fore he can store
it in the barn. II also takes longer for
oats cut green to become fit for hauling
than If left standing until ripe, be-
sides being much harder to cut and
handle. Oats cut when ripe will threeh
easier, as any farmer knows.
The straw may make better feed when
cut green, but there are very few people
who would wish to use it for that pur.
pose, when they would lose twice the
they would gain in the loss of
weight and quality Of the oats. ~"
The idea Of raising oats isnot go much
to preserve the straw as that We may cut
it when the oats il best and has most
weight. We deny that oats, when cut
green, viii be white and cleaner, but
know from experience that the opposite
is usually the case. When cut green it
very often has dark color, and very
often some of the grains will be nodded.
When ripe it can he hauled in almost at
once, and threshed a. soon az hauled.
Our reasone, then, for allowing oats
to become ripe before cutting are the
following. a. The grains will ill out
better, and it will weigh more whom
threshed. a. Less viii blow away
with the chat when threshed. (3.) It
is not so apt to mold. a II can be
hauled in and threshed sooner. (6.) It

CRUSHING A CITIZEN.

The proprietor of a Woodward
avenue store which had been finely
decorated in honor of the Knights
of Pythias was at his door yester-
day, when an old man lounged up
and began:
"Such ignorance [ never saw in
all my life! You see that man
across there-the one with the
white hat on?"
"Yes."
"Well, he was havinga good deal
to say, and | asked him who Py-
thias was. Would you believe
it, he couldn't answer me-"
"C-couldn't he!" stamniered the
citizen.
"No, ,.sir, he couldn't. Think of
such ignorance in this enlightened
age! When l told him who Pythi-
as was he called me liar. Now,
| want to prove that Tn right.
You come over and tell him all
about 1t.
"But II can't leave"
"Then I'll bring him over here. ,
"No, you needn't I'm busy"
Il see you are, but when man
calls me liar want to prove that
it amt 50. I'll have him over in a
minute"
He hadn't crossed the street be-
fore the merchant slid into the
store and hurried up stairs to keep
out of sight for an hour, and it
was only after he was certain that
the old man had departed that he
slipped down and consulted Web
ster's dictionary to see if he could
find out whether Pythias was a
town, a man, or a temple on a
hill.-Detroit Free Press.
