A VALUABLE GRAIN.
The Magnitude and Importance of the Ga
Crop of the Country.

The Magnitude and Importance of the Dat
Crop of the Country.
Comparatively few persons have an ad-
equate idea of the magnitude and i'm
portance of the oat crop in this country,
yet it's uses for man and beast are so
various that it is entitled to rank among
the most important of the farmers pro-
auctions. The enlargement Of the area
and increase of product have been very
large since 1880, but there is little diff
ference in the rate of yield, which has
had an annual average of about twenty
six bushels to the acre, with an average
price of thirty-two cents. From product
of AT, SS5,3SO bushels in 1880, the crop
amounted to 7O1, 735, 900 bushels in 1883.
As producing State Illinois was in the
lead with a production in round numbers
of 1871, ZOO, 900 bushels, followed by Iowa
with 67,OO0,00O and Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Kansas and New York with from
100000 to 100000 respectively.
For the present year (1SS9) the crop
has suffered in some sections from I'M
favorable weather at harvest time, but
with an increased area it is estimated
will exceed that of 1883 some 3O,OOO,OOO
of bushels. The oat is cultivated
through wide range of latitude and on
a greater variety of soil than any other
grain and is liable to fewer injuries.
The proportion of husl1 to kernel and
the compactness of the grain determine
the value of the variety.
Oats are remarkably well-balanred
food. Containing as they do a large
quantity of the most valuable constitu-
ents, they approach what may be called
perfect food, although they contain a
larger proportion of bulk and fiber than
any other grain, such as wheat and bar
ley. A great variety of soils can be used
for their production, and on land of good
fertility large crops can be made. AS
human food the grain is in constantly
increasing use, and for animals it is al
most universally. Y. World.

WlNTERING POTATOES.
How to Keep the Tubers in Good Con-
dition for the Spring Market.

How to Keep the Tubers in Good Con-
dition for the Spring Market.
Properly keeping potatoes for the
spring market is point of Importance.
Not all who grow large quantities of po-
tatoes have suitable cellars in which to
store them. Thousands of bushels must
be wintered in pits. The question of so
caring for them that spring will find
Them sound and in perfect condition is
the proper point to consider. Rotting,
sprouting, sweating are the sources
of injury. To prevent these is the aim.
If potatoes are sound and healthy when
put in the pits and are properly cared for
these conditions are not likely to arise.
To protect them from heat and damp is
no less important than to protect them
from frost.
Keeping them too warm in the fall and
too cold in midwinter are general causes
of destruction to potatoes wintered in
pits. They should be in a cool condition
before being covered with dirt. Then
cover well with straw and lightly with
earth, leaving the extreme top of the pit
without earth, that any heat remaining
or generating in the pit may escape.
Protect the pits from the sun and rain
by a roof of boards, under which sEzsre is
free circulation of air, until cold
weather comes. Thus the tubers are
kept dry and cool and the earth is dry.
Frost will not penetrate far into dry
earth, but it will go deep into that which
Is wet. With the coming of winter suf-

ENSILAGE FOR MARKET.
How to Keep the Food in Good Condition
for Six Months.

for Six Months.
A demand for ensilage would give our
farmers another product for the market.
Immense numbers of COWS are kept in all
of our cities and large towns, and if
their owners could procure ensilage in a
convenient form for use at as cheap
rate as they can hay, they would prefer
to have the food best adapted to promote
the flow of milk and at the same time
to cater to the appetite and health of the
COWS. Again, when great saving in
expense of feeding is made, then
there is every inducement for our city
dairymen to buy ensilage. A neighbor-
ing farmer first packed ensilage in bar
rels, and there it kept perfectly safe for
two years. But the expense of bar
rels was found to be too great,
and that plan was abandoned. Now
the inexpensive plan is adopted of
putting it up in crates, holding from 300
to 400 pounds each. These crates are
made by using two heads 20 inches in
diameter, with common laths nailed to
the heads about three feet long, held in
position by three wires encircling the
crate. This is pressed full. In this way
ensilage will keep, if needed, six months.
The crate is filled from the silo, and this
can be filed at the pleasure of the seller
or buyer. In this form it can be handled
as readily as baled hay, and thus stored
in the limits of city or village barns.
When we consider that nine out of every
ten cows prefer ensilage to dry feed, and
also that there are very many horses
| that suffer from hard breathing, or what
we call heaves, which if fed on ensilage
very soon forget to wheeze when driven
about their work, the Importance of this
innovation becomes apparent. The labor
of packing could be performed by farm.
ers at a time in the season when other
farm work doesn't drive them. Ensilage
at its best should not be cut and placed
in the silo before the corn is glazed.
Oftentimes green, immature corn is
ensilaged, and is little, if any, better than
organized water" and when put in the
silo makes "sauer kraut," good for
nothing but to fill the stomach of a COW,
yet producing but little good milk

HASTE MAKES WASTE.
ne Best Method to be Observed in Order
to Avoid Idle Hours.

ne Best Method to be Observed in Order
to Avoid Idle Hours.
To waste time is worse than wasting
money. You may have more money than
you can spend, but you can never have
too much time; and if you waste a dollar
you may make it up by economy or a
lucky stroke, but an hour wasted is gone
forever.
"Time goes on-a file that wears and
makes no noise. Time is ne'er over
TAKEN" says the old Scotch proverb. .
How little we value it! To the young
it is often their only wealth, yet what
a rich store it is. How many old and
middle-aged people would give any thing
for return of only few of their wasted
years. AS King Richard ii. said: Il
wasted time, and time doth now waste
me-"
1t is too true of many of us that we
take no heed of time but from sits loss"
We merely shuttle through the world,
and at the end of our journey have little
to show for our fleeting hours.
Economy of time develops SO many de-
lights, and gives so much freshness
to life, that it is shame to waste
it. But perhaps many young people
have no definite idea how to save time,
and few practical hints may be of
service:
Time may be saved by early rising.
But you say it is unhealthful to curtail
your natural sleep. So it is; but that
need not encourage you to lie in bed an
hour after getting awake, as l know
some young people do. That does more
harm than good.
But if you can not break yourself
wholly of this practice, why not utilize
these doing minutes by running through
in your mind what you have to do that
day-map out the plan of campaign, as
it were? Then you can get up with
definite idea of what you may have to do.
Have some employment to take up at
odd moments and be punctual. Five
minutes here and ten there, too late for
meals, drives orappointmentso of any kind
amount to hours in the day.
Keep your surroundings tidy, and
every thing in it's place, or you will al
ways be hunting for what you have mis-
laid and throwing away valuable mo-
ments wholesale.
But remember that ''haste makes
waste" of time as well as any thing else.
A thing we'll done is twice done, and do
ing things in hurry is almost as bad as
not doing them at all, for they are
scarcely ever well done.
Do one thing at a time. Over-active
people are apt to get into2 way of think
ing about what they shalTdo next, when
all their energy should be concentrated
on the occupation of the moment.
Do your work thoroughly. Slipshod
work is the worst waste of time; in fact,
IL is time absolutely thrown away.
Care and economy of time is not only
a wise policy; it is a duty. The most
expensive thing in the world is to
kill time. Amusements in themselves
are not to be deprecated. 'All work and
no play makes Jack dull boy" but, de-
pend upon it, those people who are so
destitute of resources in themselves that
they have to be perpetually amused have
never mastered the secret of economy of
time, and are among the most miserable
people in the world.
Avoid this as you would plague, and
now, while you are young, take care of
the moments, and the hours will take
care of themselyes.-Golden Days.

Pruning the Pear.

Some varieties of pear trees produces
more wood than others, and more than
is we'll to leave on. The Seckel is one,
tho Lawrence another. When this is
the case, more fruit will set than the
tree can bring to perfection. In times
past few advocated the pruning of pear
trees, but advised the thinning of the
fruit. We followed this course for
years, says a writer in an exchange, and
did not prune, but lately have adopted
the method of pruning, and are well
pleased with the result. We have taken
from our Secllel pear trees from quar-
ter to third of the small branches, and
shall thin them out evea more. The
fruit is very much larger, higher col
ored and better every way, and quite as
much in weight and measure, though
not in numbers. We fail to see any OBJ.

DEVELOPING COLTS.
A System of Feeding and Care That VIII
Make Good Horses.


Make Good Horses.
From that colt you are to get the fut-
ure horse. If you intend to build a
house you must get a foundation first.
We saw men the other day putting great
heavy timbers under the house of a friend
of ours. We asked him what he intended
to do, and he said that he found that the
foundation was good for nothing, and
that he must put new one in. That is
precisely the way some men attempt to
"build" horse. They neglect the foun-
dation. They neglect to keep the bones
and muscles growing, and we can not
put new foundation under horse as
man can put one under his house.
If the foundation of the horse is
faulty, it will never be repaired. We
have known colts that never got any
thing in the shape of grain but corn,
and corn is no more fit for a colt as
steady diet than candy is for child.
The colt and all young animals should
have sweet, tender hay and such grain
as oats in winter. This sort of feed.
