The Cultivation Of Oats.

New varieties Of oats are constantly introduc-
ed. They have run Of popularity for few
years, and some other candidate takes their
place. The truth of the matter 10 this: Oats
grown in northern locality are better than
those grown farther south. The true plan, no
matter what variety you select, Is to get the
oats from as far north as convenient, and re-
new the seed every two or three yean. .Oats
differ from barley in doing well on sod land
or on almost any land, from black muck to the
heaviest clay. Oats are grown so easily that
they are not appreciated. They are pro6ta-
BILE and useful crop. The straw is good, and
the grain always in demand In market, and
has more oats than he knows what to do with.
Really good, heavy oats, however, are scarce.
Many Of our oats are disgrace to US. This is
not because the variety Is in itself poor one,
but because we have grown it too long without
change Of seed, and have taken no pains in
selecting and preparing the land for the crop.
Late sowing makes light oats. Early sowing,
with other things favorable, means heavy oats
and good yield. We like to SOW oats on land
plowed the fall previous. Sow as early in the
spring as the frost is out Of the ground-drllsd
or broadcast as most convenient. not less than
two bushels Of seed per acre. But as we have
said before, oats are frequently sown on sod
land plowed in the spring and sown on the
burrows. An implement that will work the
surface soil without disturbing tho sod is what
is wanted to prepare the land and cover fhe
seed, if sown broadcast. II drilled in, we like
to follow with fine-toothed harrow, and work
the surface soil as fine as possible. But do not
delay. Get in the seed and work the land at
forwards or not, as the season and other work
will permit-Aaaerscan Asrtoulturf,t.

The Dakota 4 Great Southern.

The Dakota & Great Southern is another of
the lines Of road that seems certain to material
ize the coming season. Much Of the grade Is
made, and the country tributary to this road
may safely be called the most uniformly favor
able agricultural section of the territory.
Bonds to secure funds to construct this line
have been loated by Gen. Haupt, it Is said, and
II this is the case, completion Of the line in

How tho White House was Built.
The White house covers about one-thlrd of
an acre, and it has cost, up to the present time,
about $2,000 900. 1t is modelled after castle
in Dublin, and the architect who was South
Carolina man named Hoban, got $500 for
drawing the plans. When it was first built,
away back in the nneties, it cost $500, 900, but
the British burned out its insides, and its cost
has since added to that sum about $1,700,OOO.
In it all of the presidents since Washington
have lived, and each has added to its beauties
and it's expenses. think it was John Quincy
Adams who bought the first billiard table that
was used in it. But in John Adams time 1t
was only half furnished, and Abigail Adams
used to dry her clothes in the big east room.

We turn proudly to the contrast
afforded by the newspaper press Of

that not fewer than III 500 bona Iidc

nearly 1000 are dailies. Few towns

gressive increase in the number Of
newspapers published il America and
the first class newspapers of to-day
may be fairly said to have ousted the

for the diffusion Of knowledge.
