The Culture of Oats.

On the most profitable management
of this important crop, Henry Stewart
writes the Country Gentleman:
Fall blowing l consider imperative,
for the reason that unless oats are sown
at the earliest possible opportunity, a
large yield of heavy oats cannot be Sc
cured. The usual light yield and chaffy
grain are the necessary results of late
sowing, which in our warm climate
does not give the requisite time or
GOODNESS for this grain, which reaches
its best development only in cool eli
mates and with long growing season.
1t is sometimes possible to slip in, as it
were between Scylla and Charybdis,
and get warm spell in March. when
the land can be plowed and the seed
got in before the surface is again frozen
or too wet And if only 8 or inches
of dry soil lies upon the frozen subsoil,
the opportunity should be taken to get
the seed in as deeply as possible
inches by all means under any circum-
stances-upon fallow land that has not
been plowed in the fail. Then one
may get yield, little if at all inferior
to that from the fall plowed land. Two

the mellow soil made fine and yet firm

soil and SO cover the seed we'll. Com

early sown oats, as it is also for late

oats and stems from possible injury
from late frosts and in the latter case
to protect the plants from too much
heat and dryness, for oats are a shallow.
rooted plant.
The seed then has deep and rich
bed, and the root growth is strong be-
fore the spire appears on the surface,
and if after this the plants should be
cut by late frost, there is vitality
enough below to push up strong

say that the aerial growth of a young

roots, and we'll rooted crop will with.

Canning Fresh Meat.

All farmers, if not all country peo-
pie, could live like princes if they only

earth's products. And one of the lux
uries they might enjoy is that of having
fresh meat of their own the year rou nd
The following method has been tried
for nearly score of years: AS soon as
the animal heat is out of the meat,
slice and cook ready to serve, seasoning

care to fill up we'll with rich gravy.
Seal tight and set away. Then, when
a load of unexpected company drives

warming closet or in warm water, while
you are making other things ready. 1t

Protect Your Plants.

December is the proper time for the
most important of all garden work
the protection Of what are supposed
hardy plants. 1t matters not how ever
hardy plant may be considered, it
needs protecting in our climate. Ills
true many forms will endure the rigors
of our winters that is, they will live
without protection. But they will not
thrive luxuriantly, neither will they
long live and bloom, if left to care for
themselves. Our native plants, taken
from the woods and given the best po-
sition in the border, will frequently
succumb to the frost the first season.
The reason is obvious in their native
habitant the are protected by Natures
own covering, newly fallen leaves. In
our gardens they need more ample
protection than that even, because they
are more exposed. For the herbaceous
border and tender shrubs, liberal
mulch should be provided. Cover
your beds of bulbs, of all kinds with
coarse manure three or four inches
deep, in the spring rake away all that
has not rOtted, and for the ground over
carefully so as to incorporate the ma.
nure well with the soil, which will at
the same time be made light, without
injury to the fue roots. Follow this
plan up, and your bulbs, plants. and
shrubs will give you flowers far beyond
your conception of their capabilities.

or longer, and then expire it quickly
through the mouth. After repeating
the exercise while one is chilly. a feel
lug of warmth will be felt over the en-,

hands. 1t is important to practice this
exercise many times each day and es.

Fruit shortcakes are by no means so
warmly appreciated as they deserve,
says writer in Good Housekeeping
There are many people even yet who
have never tried them except in straw
berry time. and some Git is a fact
strange as it may seem) who have not
so much as heard or thought Of any
fruit shortcake except strawberry short
cake! Yet they may be made of al
most any kind of soft fruit or berries,
and an orange shortcake is almost as
delicious as the strawberry itself. A
mistake is made, think, in making
the shortcake too rich. 1t is not only
more Wholesome, but may be eaten more
freely and frequently without cloying
the appetite and with better relish if
made quite plain-severely SO, accord
ing to some rich standards. Make the
shortcake light and of generous thick
ness and use plenty of fruit. 1t will
split more smoothly if hot knife is
used. Another great improvement on
the common practice After the fruit
has been spread on the under crust,
lay on the upper crust with its upper
side down, next the fruit, so that the
last layer of fruit may be spread on the
fresh cut, inner surface of the upper
crust. Try this once and you will
always practice it. And do not be too
sparing of butter if you want the best
results. There is no handler tea dish
than good shortcake, and some suita-
BILE fruit is always in season.
