The variety sown was Red Rust Proof,
nj Il x1,lkl, lifflo eeason Lon

The variety sown was Red Rust Proof,
and IL variety with little greater leaf
growth had been planted Il greater yield
would have been made. Blue Grazing
Winter and Black Prolific varieties
made the largest yield. The rust was
appearing when the October planted
oats were cut, but there need be but lit
tic feared from rust on oats harvested
for hay, as they are ready to cut be-
fore the rust appears, or ut least before
much damage is done by it. When the
ont crop is intended for grain it would
lie wise to cut it for hay If rust ap-
pears and threatens to ruin the crop.
In that case 1t is better to plant good
grain producing variety. The Red Rust
Proof and Black Russian are planted in
Arkansas with good success. The bulle-
tin states that on the sandy soil of the
eastern and southern part of Arkansas
oats rust more or less, sometimes to
the extent of destroying the crop of
grain almost entirely, and on that &C.
count many farmers have abandoned
oats. 1t Is thought that 1t is not neces
sary to give up the crop because oats
are not ruined for grain by rust every
year, and when rust does appear they
could be cut off for hay before the crop
is much damaged. Where COW peas
do well they could be planted after
the oats were cut and a good crop Of
pea hay made and the pea roots would
maintain the soil. Further north, where
the cow pea does not thrive. some 9th
er catch crop, as. for example, millet,
might be sown. The practice of curing
cats for hay is commended by the Ar
kansas station as an excellent one,
and the conclusion is drawn from the
trials already made at the station that
oats are profitable to grow for hay on
sandy soils sown either in the fall or
spring, and that they will be free, I'M
der the conditions prevailing there,
from much damage from rust

Weight of Live Animals.

The following rules may be applied
to estimate the weight Of live animals:
Take a string, put it around the beast,
standing square, just behind the Shout
der blade; measure on Il foot rule the
feet and inches the animal is in cir
conference.-the is called the girth;
then with the string measure from the
bone Of the tail which plumbs the line
with the hinder part Of the buttocl:
direct the line along the back to the
fore part of the shoulder blade; take
the Dimensions on the foot rule as be-
FORE which is the length, and work the
figures in the following manner: Girth
Of the bullock, six feet four inches;
length. FIVE feet three inches; which,
multiplied together. make 81 square
superficial feet; that multiplied by %
(the number of pounds allowed to each
superficial foot Of cattle measuring
less than seven and more than five
in girth), makes 713 pounds. Where
the animal measures less than nine
and more than seven feet in girth, 81
is the number of pounds to each super
fetal foot. Again, suppose n pig or
any small beast should measure two
feet in girth and two feet along the
bs ok, which. multiplied together. make
four feet square; that multiplied by
IL (the number Of pounds allowed for

less than three feet in GRIT. makes
