nize the hand of God, and we regard it also
as a summons to advance the university to-
ward the position of effectiveness and influ-
ence that it ought to occupy.
2 The history of the university, with all
the associations that gather about its work
OF more than fifty years. makes it eminently
desirable that the institution should remain
IN Bloomington, where it was first estab-
itshed, and where has been passed its long
period of trial and of worthy achievement.
B. The present campus is wholly made
quate and unsuitable for the proper develop
ment and enlargement of the university, and
should now be exchanged for a site that will
fully meet all present and prospective re-
quirements.
4. The insurance companies have prompt
ly met their Obligations in the payment of
losses, but our means from this source are
SMALL The Legislature will not convene in
regular session until sixteen months hence.
Many interests are imperiled by delay, while
we are poweriess, through lack of money, to
secure the university against these perils.
We will, therefore, gladly welcome any CO.

the county of Monroe and the city of Bloom
ington, while we confidently rely upon the
generous sentiment of the people of the State
and the liberality of the General Assembly.

When TO Cut 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 II is thrcSiIed. much will be biOwna AWAY
with the clIuil. which would not he If IL had
been left standing until ripe, and the grains
full grown. Besides this, The farmer runs Il
great risk in cutting oats before IT Is ripe, cS-
uccia!ly IL he cuts it with Il reaper, and ties 1t
IN at once, of having IL mould: and this risk
is increased If there should be much rain be-
fore he can store ii In the barn. 1t also takes
longer for ualS cut green to become lit Tor
hauling thar If II is left standing until ripe,
besides being much harder to cut and handle.
Oats cut when ripe Will thrcSh one-lIitIf easier,
rs any farmer knows. Thu straw may make
better feed when cut green. but their are very
few people who would wish 10 use IL Tor that
purpose, when they would lose twice the
amount they would gain in the loss or weight
and quality of the oats.
The idea of raising oats Is not SO much TO
preserve the straw as that we may cut 1t when
the OATS Is best, and has most weight. we
deny that oats, when cut green, Will be whittier
and cleaner, but know from experience that
the opposite Is usually the case. when cut
green, 1t very often has a dark color, anu very
often some of The grains will be moulded.
When ripe 1t can be hauled In almost at once
and thrcshed as soon as hauled.
Our reasons. then, for allowing oats to be-
come ripe before cutting are the following
a. The grains will fill nut better. and 1t Will
weigh more when threshed. 81 Less Will
blow away with the chaif when thrcshed. g.
It Is not so apt to mould. H.) 1t can lie haul
