WHY THRESH TIE OATSH

Few thinking farmers are so behind
time as not to know the value of bright
oat-straw for fodder. Nevertheless these
men, good calculators generally, go on
threshing the oat crop and separating
grain from straw aud then feed both to
the same animals, as if they thus i'm
proved the feed! Is not the work on the
farm hard enough without this useless
labor9 The custom is relic of the past,
and surely the day is not distant when
farmers will as soon think of hulling oats
for feeding on the farm as of threshing
them. Oats for sale will doubtless still
be threshed, although incline to the be-
lief that many sheaf- oats will be pressed
like hay, having their heads all toward
the middle of the bale. This will apply
particularly to local trade.
All stock eat sheaf-oats with avidity,
and they constitute nearly perfect food.
Run through fodder-cutter and moist
ened, they become, with addition of a
little meal, bran or cottonseed, good
ration for milch-cows, and the hardest
working team-horses keep sleek and fat
Oh the diet Why should not farmers
everywhere place the crop, Immediately
on hauling it from the field, in vermin-
proof bays or barns, or, better still, in
mousse proof stacks (Which are so easily
arranged), there to remain till fed2 The
time usually consumed in threshing oats
for the farm stock could be protitably

TIE SIZE OF APPLES.

The size of apples is more important
consideration than is sometimes thought.
A very large apple is not desirable, nor is
a very small one likely to be demanded
unless it has some very decided merit,
as with the lady apple or some of the
crabs used for decoration, or making a
superior conserve An apple that under
good culture is of full medium size, will,
other things being equal, be the most
profitable to the grower, because the
most satisfactory to buyers either as deal
ers or consumers. Two serious objections
exist to very large apples-the loss in

large apple, unless some partice' ar beauts
or excellence enables him to get very
large price for it,-NeaO York Voice.

RAISING TURKEYS,

The turkey under domestication is
difficult bird to raise, and requires great
care and constant attention for the first
month of its life. If the mother is I'll
lowed to wander out with her brood into
the wet grass in the morning or after
showers, the chicks are very likely to
take cold and die. The young birds.
should be confined in pen or coop until
they are strong enough to bear the ia
tigue of wandering about the field. For
the first day after the chicks are Matched
they should not be fed or disturbed. If
the eggs hatch irregularly, then the first
chicks to come out should be removed
and fed when twenty-four hours old, and
returned to the nest when all the eggs
are Matched. The first food should be
stale bread, moistened with milk or water
When few days old corn meal, cooked
rice and similar food may be given, but
only in such quantities as the chicks will
eat up clean each time they are fed,
which should be at least four times day.
Lice on turkeys and chickens are readily
destroyed by scattering flowers of sui
phur in the nests where the mother
broods them. In setting hen turkey a
tablespoon of sulphur should always be
thrown in the nest at the time of giving
the bird the eggs, and this will prevent
lice breeding on the old bird or infesting
the chicks. In regard to employing COM
mon barnyard fowls as mothers for tur-
keys authorities differ. Some claim that
the hen turkey is never SO good mother
as the hens of our ordinary barnyard
fowls, on account of her natural roaming
habits, while others are quite as pro-
nounced in her favor. But as the eggs
of our barnyard fowls hatch in from
eighteen to twenty-one days, while those
of the turkey in from twenty-six to
thirty, there is danger of the common
hen abandoning her nest at the end of
her natural period of incubation of three
weeks. The Brahmas, Cochins and
similar large and heavy breeds of fowls
are usually large enough to sit a month if
necessary, and for this reason make very
good mothers for turkeys.-Nep York

CARPETS AND RUGS.

The hygienic disadvantages Of carpet
dust have been considerably overrated.
In the homes of wealthy Turks, where
lung diseases are almost unknown, every
sitting-room and bedroom is often fur
nished with the heaviest wooden carpets,
which are rarely removed oftener than
once in three years. Dust, under those
circumstances, can hardly be avoided,
but of such impurities our respiratory
organs seem able to rid themselves by a
mere sitting process, and the true lung
bane is, indeed, not dust, but the subtle
poison of vitiated gases. The sanitary
statistics of European cities prove that
teamster work, and even street-sweeping,
are by no means incompatible with long
evity. Still, in rooms where dust is apt
to accumulate, movable rugs are, on the
whole, preferable to large carpets, which,
indeed, they have begun to supercede in
the model parlors of many sanitary estab.
lishments.- L. Os,cald, M d.

A SONG OF THE ROAD

Come, comrades since the way is long
Lots 'liven it by tune and song,
And greeting give TO all we pass;
To whte-of-head, to light-of-head,
To matron grave and laughing lass,

For distant path and nigh way,
Ror friendswe greet, for foes we meet
Along the worlds broad highways
TITS merning-break; 1.-THE limbs are strong;
Who dreams of crime and guilt and wrong2
Yon youngling and his violet eyess
Nay, light-of-mind and love-so-blind
Are wisdom-proof and folly wise.
Hurrah for lane and by-way,
Fer distant path and nigh way,
For friends we greet for foes we meet,
Along the worlds broad highway
Tisnoontide; let us spend an hour
Dream drinking ere we lose the power,
And all our pleasure disappears,
Since slight-of heart and blight-of-heart
Have sworn the goblet smacks of tears.
Hurrah for lane and by-way,
For distant path and nigh way,
For friends we greet, for foes we meet,
Along the worlds broad highway!
It's night and low; foul thieves have mobbed
The weak ones here and left them robbed
Of hope, and faith, and love, and rest;
But sure-of-soul and pure-of-soul
Still fold their treasures to their breast
Hurrah for lane and by-way,
For distant path and nigh way,
For every one whose journeys done,
WHO'S gained the distant sky-way!

FRUITS INJURED by BLEACHING.

Bleaching dried fruits has become
quite common, but no good reason can be
given for the practice. They look whittier
if bleached-so does the farmers hay
but the quality or natural fruit flavor is
always injured by the process. 1t is
done chiefly in evaporators, by adding
sulphur or birthstone when the fruit is
partly dried. The history Of its origin
is uncertain. Some one began 1t, and as
it pleased those commission dealers and
cooks who prefer whiteness to quality,
bleached fruit had boom in price, and
other evaporation owners felt obliged to
follow. In some places there Is already
a reaction. The quality of the green fruit
can be told pretty well if it is of the natu-
raj color, but not if it is bleached. Eva
porated fruit is preferable to most sun or
slow dried, as it is cleaner and, in damp
weather, much less likely to injury in
drying. In future, intelligent and OBJ
serving consumers will patronize evapora-
tor owners who do not bleach their fruit.

THE UTILITY OF wINDMILi.s.

Why is not the power of the wind
more often made available on farms for
doing light work? The windmill has
long been useful and in many localities
has been synonymous with corn or flour
mill, cheaply grinding the farmers grain
and adapting itself automatically to the
changeful breezes And now that these
engines have been greatly improved they
seem to be vanishing out OF use This is
to be deplored. For the light work of
pumping water, cutting fodder, grinding
grain, Smelling corn, thrashing, cutting
up ensilage, or cutting tirewood, II wind
mill may repay its cost at least once
every year, and with careful usage may
last forty or fifty years, or be replaced
piecemeal, as it wears, in that time, and
then be as good as new. A windmill at
tached to barn or silo is an evidence
of good sense, thrift, and responsibility
of the farmer who owns it, and is to be
preferred before Il great many OF those
other things over which farmers waste
money uselessly.-Neeo York Times.

A Banana Eating Horse.

pose of the fruits which he had to sell,

CT horse eating bananas was SO amusing

Hottest and Coolest Weather Known.

"What is the hottest weather ever
known in the United States2" The ques-
ton is answered in the bulletin of the
Kentucky Statistical Weather Service.
The highest temperature recorded by the
United States Signal Service was at
Phoenix and Fort Mcdowell, Arizona, in
June, 1883. The thermometer marked
119 degrees. However, unofficial OBJ
servers report temperatures as high as
1913 and 122 degrees at Mammoth Tank
and Humboldt, Cal. The coolest weather
recorded by the service was sixty-nine
degrees below zero, at Poplar River,
Montana. But this is warm place COM
pared with Werchojansk, Siberia, the
coolest inhabited spot on the globe. The
thermometer there has been as low as
ninety degrees below zero. In view of
these figures, let us not complain of a
paltry ninety degrees above Zero

Creams are delicious dessert for
summer, being light and refreshing, and
and have the merit of being very easily

THE FARM AND GARDEN
A HINT TO CARRIAGE GROWERS.

As cabbages increase in growth by the
heading process they have tendency
sometimes to split open, which very
greatly diminishes the value of the head.
AS a remedy, Mr.. J, J. Gregory, the noted
market gardener and scotsman of Marble
head, Mass, recommends going over the
ground and starting the cabbages that
appear to be nearly manure, tipping them
to one side. He says this tends to in.
crease the size of the cabbage heads and
prevents their bursting. It is certainly a
very simple operation, and one well
worthy of trial.-Nem YORK. Independent.

How Cinnamon "sweat' Gold Coin.

The Cinnamon have become very
troublesome offenders against the legal
tender of the United States, but they are
not expert counterfeiters. They are
sweaters, " and the cheapness of Chinese
labor, even in crime, is exemplifed in
their operations.
A Chinaman will put $500 in gold in a
gunny sack and twist and tumble and toss
that sack full of money up and down and
around and about all day long, and in the
evening he will empty out the coin, burn
the sack, and from the ashes carefully ex-
tract S. worth of gold dust which has
been rubbed off the coin.
The returns are small, but the risk is
not great, since nobody but an expert
could ever tell that anything had been
done to the coins, and even the expert
would have to weigh them to detect the
difference.
This process is what is called ''sweat-
ing" and the Chinese do it very cleverly.
The chief offense of Cinnamon, however,
is against the custom laws. They are
natural smugglers.- Washington Post.

THE ROSE BUG.

The rose bug is hard insect to fight,
and we have had no practical occasion
to experiment with it in the work of the
Botanical Division of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The old
method was to knock the insect from the
foliage or fruit into pan of kerosene
and water. This, however, is very slow
work and not practicable on large scale.
At River Edge, N. j., they found last
season that mixture of pyrethrum and
water made very excellent liquid to
spray upon the vines. 1t destroyed all
of the insects which it touched and seemed
also to have IL preventive action. The
proper proportions can only be obtained
by further experiment. Colonel Pearson,
of New Jersey. has also found that the
original fungicide mixture of sulphide of
copper and lime and water sprayed upon
grape vines has both poisoning and
lettering effect upon the rose bug This
insect is one which hope to have good
series of experiments made upon with Il
view of determining just what is beststo
be done.-Prgtessm G. Y. Riley, m4the
