SPRlNG-SOWN OATS.
No Seed Safe without a Suitable Cover
ing of Soil.

ing of Soil.
Science is valuable TO the practical
man because it teaches him the princi-
pies of things, explains causes and
effects, and shows him how to produce
desired results. In regard to the SOW
ing of seed, for instance, the best man
ner of doing this is learned by knowing
how plants grow and feed, and the rela-
ton of their parts to each other; the
functions of the roots, and their man
ner of gathering food from the soil and
supporting the plant in it. And when
this is known, we find that the proper
place for the seed is in the soil, and not
on the surface of it. So that when any
person, although he may be able to
write very readable article upon the
subject of sowing oats upon the frozen
ground and leaving the seed to
take care of itself, advise farmers to
follow this practice, reader who knows
how roots grow and gather the food for
the plant, will not be misled into the
following very bad advice, to SOW any
seed whatever without giving it suffl-
cient and safe covering of soil.
1t is common assumption-it can not
be said belief or opinion-that oats do
not need covering, and will grow any
how if only sown on the ground. They
will grow to some extent, and the seed
will terminate if the weather is moist
and keeps so, but If frost or dry
wind should happen, the tender rootlets
are killed at once and the seed perishes.
This also occurs when the seed has not
covering enough to keep it moist, and
protect the young spire and roots from
a frost, and although the seed, that is
sown in frozen ground, may fall into
the cracks, or if sown upon mud may
sink in it, the covering thus secured is
not sufficient and will not protect the
seed.
Oats are one of the best useful crops,
and deserves the best treatment, II
should be sown early, on land prepared
in the best manner and well MANFRED.
The seed should be thoroughly har-
rowed in and well covered; three inches
is the best depth to secure abundant
roots firmly set in the soil, and protec-
ton from late frosts. And with this
treatment yield of fifty to seventy-fvc
bushels per acre may be reasonably
looked for, and exemption from ustand
smut, which mostly attack the weak
plants. But these may be entirely es
capped if the seed is stepped in solu

to the gallon of water, as is usual with
wheat,-Practica Farmer.

WHY THEY FAIL.


Reasons for Non-Success in the business
of Poultry Raising.
Men fail in the poultry business for
many reasons, and reasons that would
make them fail in any other business.
Let us enumerate few:
l. They think. after years expert
ence, they know all. The writer has
been, as it were, raised with fowls, yet
every year he learns more, and is sur
prised to know what little knowledge
he has on the subject. Yet these no.
vices have learned all in three hundred
and sixty-fvc days. We have in our
mind man who in a year became 50
proficient (?) that he is actually offer
ing advice to breeders Talk to
him on ventilation, moisture, sci
ence, ETC., in poultry matters
why, he knows all about them!
He thinks he does. We think he
doesn't, for the man whose fowls he has
in charge is Disguised He doesn't seem
to know when fowl is over-fat, nor
when it has cold, nor how to prevent
sickness. He doesn't seem to know
any thing practical; but as a man to do
chores, he is a success. Could you ex-
pect such men to succeed? Would they
succeed in any business?
2. They think that from thousand
dollar investment thousand-dollar in
come should come Is there business
in the whole world that will do it? Is
not ten per cent. good dividend in any
business? The poultry business gives
as high as fifty per cent. An cleo
trio railway was started in a city
| in which we are acquainted, and
the first year, after paying expenses,
it declared a dividend of eight per cent.
The stockholders got wild 1t was a
grand investment Fifty thousand dol :
lars were invested. In a ghboring
town poultry farm was established,
one thousand dollars invested, and at
the end of the first year all expenses
were paid, and profit of ten per cent.
was given. Yet the poultry farm was
declared fizzle, and the railway a
grand success. Men start in the manu-
featuring business and don't expect tc
make cent for the first two or three
years, but few hundred hens arc
called on to heap up fortune. How
consistent some people are!
8, They think that experience doesn't
cost any thing-that all man needs is
a start, and experience comes and goes
on its own account. We know
the case of man 40 left 8
paying job to go into the bust
ness on small amount both of capital
and experience. He is all out. If he i,
at it next year, he will do better thar
this, for the experience he got this time
has cost him money that he will save
next year. He had gradually secured
that experience before he left the jol
he might have done better. Air castle,
have no foundations.
We could go further, but these three
reasons tell the most of it. When mel
learn that it requires money, experience
and time to build up hen farm success
fully, on the same principal that would
any other business, then we shall have
more well-paid poulterers, but not be

BALZAC'S METHODS.

Figaro" Tells How He Scrubbed on
"Cesar Birottcau."
Balzac's method of working was &C.
centric. Belgravia says that when he
had we'll considered the subject upon
which he proposed to write he would
cover some thirty or forty pages with
ideas and phrases. These he would send
to the printer, who returned proof sheets
pasted upon large sheets of paper. The
work was then corrected.
On second reading the forty pages
grew to hundred, and so on, while on
the proof sheets new lines would start
from the beginning, middle or end of
phrase; and if the margins were INSULT
cient other sheets were added, until at
last the work was satisfactorily com.
pleted. A specimen of Balzac's proof
has the appearance of geographical

or perhaps it even more closely resem
bles complicated railway system in
which the lines cross and recross each
other in a manner that would almost
bewilder Bradshaw.
The most graphic description of this
realist at work is to be found in an
article in the Figaro of December Is,
1887, called 1.-The Misfortunes and Ad.

wrong. 1t almost invariably makes
them vicious. Many handlers of stall
lions think they must never go

breeding farm where eight or ten stall
lions are kept all the year, and any
stallion can be led out to mare with a
halter, and a whip is never allowed to
be used in or about the stable. The
stations are treated as kindly as mares,
and respond to it as kindly, and there is
not horse about the stable that will
bite or kick or he the least vicious.
With harsh, brutal treatment half, il
not all of them, would be vicious. 1t is

Not one physician in thousand has ever

1t is faverite paradox of some that

spring from that love OF finding or max

be that brave men have been, in gen.

The trying ordeals which fashionable soci-

severely test the physical strength and en-

late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, the fatigue of the ballroom,
the bad air of the illy-ventilated, over
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health of the delicate and sensitive. Com
