SUCCESSIVE DAT CROPS,

There is good reason why the oat
crop should be the most exhaustive of
any of the grains. Its leaf is not 50
broad as that of barley or wheat, and
it sends it's roots very much farther
than does barley at least. Wheat roots
reach down into the subsOil and get
moisture, and probably also some plant
food, where the spring grain would
not reach Dat roots completely fill
the surface soil to the depth of the
blowing It is this which makes it so
hard to get good catch of clover, and
this failure to get q good clover growth
is usually the reason why the land is
left till another year and sown with
oats again. We have known several
cases III which successive oat crops
were grown for several years, with the
result of 50 entirely destroying the
soils fertility that the land would
scarcely produce white beans. Clay
land lis most often injured by crop
ping with oats, and the effect on such
soil is to harden it into clOds Where
land has been made poor by Oat grow
ing one of the best ways to restore it
is to pillow n the fall and SOW crop
of peas with whatever fertilizer can be
got. Peas make more shade for the
ground, and they will get much of the
plant food they need from the air.
Peas are besides a better grain to seed
with clover than Is the oat. We mean,
of course, peas sOwn broadcast and
covering the whole surface of the
ground. Cultivator.

concerning the habit, strength, time

be continued each year for five wears
before one can definitely ascertain the
real value of a variety, as many of
those which appear promising at first
run out entirely, and sometimes those
which we were tempted to discard the
first few years may prove our very
best varieties. AT digging time select
only few of the largest and best

points better than in any of the old
kinds. American Agriculturist.

By the steamship Empress of India, which

According to the official returns more than

On August 22d the Gunio Gawa overf1owed

had fallen caused land slide on the hill

All the low priced or so-caIled cheap

class.

DR.. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, i'll AZ article III the
"Doctor of Hygiene indicates that
the advantages of good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dam
gers of bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals arc used, are to
be secured 10y the use Of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mcnds this to all consumers. The

but cream Of tartar and soda
refined to chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence OF
heat and moisture produce pure car

materials used, cream Of tartar and
soda, are perfectly harmless even when
eaten, but i'll this preparation they are
combined in exact compromising
weights, 50 that when chemical action
begins between them in the dough they
practically disappear, the substance OF
both having been taken to form car

that the Royal Baking Powder IS the
most perfect Of all conceivable agents

1t seems almost incredible that an
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in
furious chemicals in place of those of

character simply for the sake of n few
cents pound greater profit; but since
they do, few words of warming seem

be done by regular mechanic, or to
90 to the other extreme and be con-
tinually running to the shop or for the
mechanic to do what could in many
cases he readily done by the farmer at
IL considerable saving. There are
times when to be obliged to stop the
work of the farm and go several miles
to town to get small job of repairing
done would entail a considerable loss.
At other times when not interfering with
the farm work it would be more econO-
mical to hire the work done than to
take your own time.
Because of your ability to do nearly
or urlite all kinds of small repairing II
does not by any means imply that you
should always DO it or that you can Ell
ways save money by doing it. The con-
ditions should always be considered.
One farmer may be SO situated that it
will lie best TO do everything himself.
Another will find it more economical
to depend upon having the greater
part of this kind of work done. But
the knowledge of how to DO work will
not be lost even if not used at every
opportunity.
On many farms, after the wheat,
oats and hay are harvested, there IS n
short season that can be spared to
good advantage in fixing up the farm.
The farmer himself may not be able to
hire mechanical help, but if he can do
this kind of work himself he can pro-
vide shelter for his stock, his feed and
his machinery at much less cost than
if obliged to depend entirely upon
hired help. He may also be able to
paint his house, his wagon or ma
chinery, do necessary repairing about
the building that will help preserve
and make it more comfortable when
otherwise it would be necessary to let
go. in many cases if work of this
kind can be done in good season con-
siderable saving can be made over what
might be the cost if obliged to wait
some time.
Keeping everything neat and trim
about the farm not only adds to its APP
pearance but increases its value, gives
the farmer better reputation among
his neighbors and is really the most
economical, but in many cases the
farmer cannot have the work done,
and not being mechanical genius
himself, it is left undone.
When the farmer can do reasonably
fair work q small outfit Of necessary
tools will be found profitable invest
ment. This should also include three
or four paint brushes and oil, and
either Spanish brown or Venetian red
for painting tools and implements.
The amount, or rather number, of
tools II farmer should own can best be
determined by his ability to use them.
Money invested in tools that are not
used is 50 much dead capital. A wise,
drill, set of bits and brace, set Of
augers, set of saws and planes q shoe
makers outfit aud harnessmal1er' s out
fit such as are advertised, with rivets
and copper wire, supply of nails and
bolts, Will enable the farmer to do a
very considerable amount of work fix
ing up and keeping up buildings and
machinery. This implies tool house,
not only to keep the tools but to work
in, as in this way many little jobs of
repairing may be done on rainy days.
