Oats for Hay.

The season has been such that a good
deal of the oats will necessarily be cut
for hay if cut at all, the character Of
the straw being such that this will be
the only way in which the crop can be
managed. In view Of the repeated dry
seasons, the excellent character Of oat
hay and it's high, feeding value. together
with the high cost per bushel for thresh-
ing, as compared with the value Of the
oats per bushel, it would not be bad
plan to consider the expediency of
planting oats for hay every year and
harvesting it that way, regardless Of
whether the season made it absolutely
necessary or not. The Arkansas ex-
pertinent station, in Bulletin No. q,
just received, narrates some expert
ences with oats planted for hay at the
Newport branch station in that state.
In the spring of 1892 oats were planted
without fertilizers for hay and cut just
at blooming. They cured very easily,
and little rust appeared before cut
ting, but the hay Was of good quality,
and was readily eaten by all stock
The yield per acre was only one ton,
but it possessed very high feeding
value. Soil similar in fertility, except
that peas had been grown on it, and
the vines turned under the previous
year, was sown to oats in October,
1892, with an IS per cent stand, yielded
ton and a half Of dry hay per acre
The variety sown was Red Rust Proof,

BracinS Gate Posts.

The accompanying illustration from
Orange Judd Farmer represents a very
effective method Of preventing ordinary
swinging gates from sagging. In the
first place is always advisable to Sc
cure as large a post as possible upon
which to hang the gate, in fact the
larger the better. In no case is it prac-
ticable to have it less than Is inches or
two feet in diameter. This size is
sometimes difficult to secure, when
smaller ones can be used, provided
they are properly braced. The illus
tration represents one method which
has proved very efficient in many in
stances. Set the gate post deep, lamp
it firmly from the bottom Of the hole
to the top, then with two pieces of 2x4
scantling, either oak or pine, but pre-
ferably the former, securely brace the
large post, as shown in illustration
placing the braces in the form of an
x. These may be secured either by
bolts or large wire nails; possibly both
can be used to advantage. Then after
they are properly secured, make the
100 still more complete by running a
strand Of wire from the top Of the Sec
ond fence post to the bottom Of the
third, pulling this as tight as may be-.
This method Of bracing gate posts is

Tuxedo is essentially an evening suit,
and is worn at the seaside after 6 p.
M, on every occasion Of a dressy char.
acter where the swallowtail is now alb
sOlutely insisted upon. The material
now employed in the construction Of
this sensible and dressy garment is an
unfinished worsted. It should be Of

height It shapes well in at the sides.
but is pretty full over the hips. In
the back it follows closely the lines Of
the figure. The roll, which is finished
with silk, has one buttonhole; this is
the boutonniere.
With this coat it is "the thing"
to wear Marseilles waistcoat closing
with three buttons. The trousers, OF
unfinished black worsted have braided
side seams. They should be well hol-
lowed out over the instep and be free
from the spring that goes with the
cheap custom Or ready-made suits.
Before the time for DOMINIC his Tuxe'
do arrives the seasider will likely be
found in still another class of flannel
costume something quite different
from the flannel above described and
rather more formal. It is a novelty
and known as the Mitchell soft-roll
doublt-breasted sack suit. 1t takes a
man with good back to properly carry
the coat, for it is fashioned to give
great prominence to the figure. The
soft rolling lapels should fall over a
good chest to have the right effect.
There is nothing at all tight or binding
about the coat, but it takes the form so
closely, nevertheless, that the we'll
built fellow will find much comfort in
wearing it.. ..
7 With this style of coat is worn a
white flannel waistcoat, cut on broad,
almost heroic proportions. There is
nothing tame nor sappy about this
style. The 1apels are generous in size
and cut so that their importance in
giving character to the entire costume
will not be lost sight of. The general
makeup of this waistcoat is decidedly
on the swell order and will never find
favor in the estimation of tame dan
dies ...-...
The trousers come nearer the peg top
sort which was in vogue some thirty
years ago than any cut that we have
had in long time, but they are grace

war day trousers, for they have a
slight spring over the instep. There is
a narrow welt up and down the sides.

Ben was quick to take advantage
of the slight impression which he had

"Suppose you were going to buy

"Peas and cucumbers, most likely"
'If you'll wait just minute ma am,
I'll send you up some and you can see

In minute he was back again. He
hauled the samples up on the dumb

''Why, they're really fresh," she ex-
claimed in surprise.
'tYes'm: told you they were"
''The best I've seen this year."
'sW!ll you take them?'
''How much?'
Ben named the price. It was the
regular retail figure for peas and GU

The quite prevalent practice Of SOW
Ing wheat after oats is, in some re-
spects, Objectionable in most seasons
Mere especially is this true WHARF, cats
arc cultivated in on corn land. There
is much tramping with shallow culture,
often when the soil is a little too wet,
drying out and baking to such an extent
that it is difficult matter during Au-
gust to properly fit the land for wheat
EARLY plowed wheat stubble or clover
sod can usually be put in finer condition
at less cost. Plow early and harrow
frequently before seeding, taking adj
vantage Of showers that may fall to
pulverize the soil when in just the right
condition. Good blowing is 20 less
important than doing the work early.
TO have soil evenly broken the burrows
must approximate StraightneSs and
evenness in width and depth. Every
pillow has natural capacity beyond
which it cannot 60 and do first-class
work. 1t is much better to turn A.
inch burrows with q 16-inch plow than
16-inch burrows with. a 14-inch plow.
Keep prairie land as smooth and level
as possible. The too common method
of throwing soil toward the fence year
after year causes unsightly and incon-
venient ridges around the outside with
corresponding depressions in middle
of field. .'. ~
During dry weather the harrow
should follow the plow closely to level
and pulverize the surface before clods
become hard.
An hour spent in narrowing after the
! plow is often worth several hours a
! week later. We want fine particles Of
earth brought close together without
| cohering and this condition should ex-
| list to the depth Of the furrow. Let
| clods come to the surface, then pulver-
! ize them if possible. They are at all
events better on top Of the fine soil
than below it.
The disk harrow is useful for cutting
| and reducing the soil to an even texture
| and can be followed with the lever har-
row running teeth straight if soil needs
| further deep culture, finishing off with
teeth set quite fiat so that the frame
may act as pulverizer while the teeth
assist in fining the surface The plank
drag is very effective pulverizer, bet
ter in some respects than the roller,
for while the latter merely presses the
soil, the drag both presses and grinds.
There is a gain when preparing dry
ground in using plenty Of horses on
harrow or drag, as the pressure OF
many hoofs aids in the filming and firm
ing process.-Geo. T. Petit, Nemaha

made the largest yield. The rust was

oats were cut but there need be but lit
tie feared from rust on oats harvested
for hay, as they are ready to cut be-
fore the rust appears, or at least before
much damage is done by it. When the
oat crop is intended for grain it would
be wise to cut it for hay if rust ap-
pears and threatens to ruin the crop.
In that case it is better to planta 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 az
count many farmers have abandoned
oats. 1t is thought that it 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

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

might be sown. The practice of curing
oats 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
