Report says that many Ohio
farmers who paid go per bushel
for the highly laudesl Bohemian oats
for seed, with the expectation OF
realizing 17.50 per bushel for their
crops, are feeding the oats to their
stock. This variety of grain is DIES.
titute of bulls, but is pronounced of
no value for manufacturing into
meal for table purposes. The yield
is only about half that of ordinary
oats, varying from Ave to forty
bushels per acre. The proportion
of meat being greater than in that
of ordinary oats, they are doubtless
more valuable, bulk for bulk, for
feeding to stock than ordinary grain
but those who have tried the exper-
imcnt find them much less profitable
than the ordinary variety. Many
of our readers will, doubtless, be
invited to invest in this variety be
tween now and next Spring. They
will do well, however, to bear the
above facts in mind.

Winter Feed for Young Colts.
Massachusetts Ploughman.

During the winter season the colt
should have sufficient quantity of
the best English hay, and daily al.
lowance of roots. To this diet
should be added two quarts daily
of bruised oats, and bountiful sup.
ply of pure water. Upon the care
and attention paid to the colt du ring
the first winter will depend much
of his future value Any check
given to its growth at this critical
period will never be entirely recover
ed from afterwards. Great atten-
ton must be. therefore, paid to the
proper shelter and protection of the
animal from cold and wet. Good.
warm, sunny and we'll ventilated
quarters, with an enclosure for ex-
ercise protected from the wind, are
essential to his proper growth and
well-being. Far from grain having
the effect to produce a large belly
upon horses to whom it has been
fed in colthoOd, quite the contrary
is the result.

Take Needed Rest.

A duty which farmers and farm
ers' wives owe themselves and their
families is to maintain their healthy
vigor and spirits, and this cannot
be done under the strain of constant
Overwork. There must be some let
up. For three fourths of the year
there is but little opportunity for
this, and we have for months been
telling how to do things-seemingly
urging on to unremitting activity.
Now we are going to call halt,
and tell how not to do things.
Hardly that either, for though the
active season upon the farm is clos
ed, there are yet many, many things
demanding attention and care.
What we do mean is, Go slow; ease
up a little. Take little longer maps
in the mornings, and an extra one
after dinner, if possible. Of course
the farmer cannot stop altogether,
even if it is Winter; things must
be kept moving, but let them move
at a slower pace. Try living on 2
meals a day for month or two, to
give the good wife chance. We
eat too much in Winter, anyway.
Breakfast and hour or two late,
and dinner in the middle of the
afternoon, makes matters much
easier for those who have to prepare
the meals, is really better for the
health, and leaves splendid, long
evenings for reading and planning,
visiting and sleighing, club and
grange work. Plan to take a little
rest.

The Cocoanut.

The manner in which that prolific
tree. the cocoanut palm, is propagat-
ed was a curious and interesting
study for leisure hour, the germln-
alton having been with us hereto
fore an unsolved riddle. Within
the hard shell of the nut, amoung
the mass of rich creamy substance,
near the large end, is small white
lump like the stalk of young
mushroom, called the ovule. This
little finger-like germ of the future
tree gradually forces itself through
one of three eyes always to he found
on the cocoanut What giant power
is concealed within that tiny ovule,
apparently SO soft and insignificant
Having pierced its way through the
first shell, it then gradually rends
outer coat of fibrous covering and
curves upwards towards the light.
Into the inner shell which it has va
Gated 1t throws little tibros threads
which slowly absorb the albumen,
and thus sustain its new life as it
rapidly develops. First a few leaves
grow upward, which from the very
outset begin to assume the pinnate
from off the cocoanut leaf, while,
stretching earthward, a myriad of
little threads of roots bury them
selves in the ground. Though the
tree will glow to a height of sixty
feet or more, these roots will never
individually exceed the size of the
fingers on ones band. In five or
six years the tree will produce its
first cluster of cocoanuts, and for
several years will go on increasing
in fruitfulness and yielding a bounti-
full crop for fifty or sixty years. 1t
was a constant wonder how these
cocoanut trees could sustain an up
right position with such weight of
ripening fruit clustered beneath the
shade of their tufted tops.-Ballou's
