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
h only way in which the crop can be
managed. In view of the repeated dry
seasons, the excellent character of oat
hay and its 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 a bad
plan to consider the eXpcdiency of
planting oats for hay every year and
harvesting 1t that way, regardless of
whether the season made it absolutely
necessary or not. The Arkansas ex-
pertinent station, in Bulletin No. 81,
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 a 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 So per cent stand, yielded
a ton and a half of dry hay per acre.
The variety sown was Red Rust Proof.
and if Il variety with a little greater leaf
growth had been planted a 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
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 APP
pears and threatens to ruin the crop.
In that case it is better to plant a good
grain producing variety. The Red Rust
Proof and Black Russian are planted in
Arkansas with good success. The bulle-

Bracing 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 10 inches or
two feet in diameter. This size is
sometimes difficult to secure, when
smaller ones a be used, provided
they a + 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 Dr. 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 Dr. large wire nails; possibly both
can be used to advantage. Then after
they are properly secured, make the
job still more complete by running q
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

The New Sultan of Morocco Is a
Progressive Young Man.
1t is well for Morocco, and for for
eigners who have dealings with that
country, that Muley Abdul-Aziz was
permitted to ascend the throne made
vacant by the recent death Of Sultan
Muley Hassan. The remains of the
late sultan were buried with great
pomp and ceremony on June 10, and
Immediately after the interment Alb
dul-Aziz was proclaimed sultan at the
chief mosque and the imperial UNI
brella raised over him. But whether
he would stay under the umbreIla or
be pushed out into the glare of the hot
Morocco sun was for some time an I'M
settled question. ADdul-Aziz has a
brother named Muley Mohammed,
with more years to his credit but much
less discretion; and at first AIuley Mo
manned kicked vigorously against the
accession of his younger brother, who
had been chosen for the honor and
appointed thereto by the sultan as
was, the lamented Muley Hassan. But
Muley Mohammed soon ceased his pro.
testing and submitted to the inveita-
BILE, n other pretenders to the sue.
cession having also been disposed of,
the new sultan is in full enjoyment of
his throne and its perquisites.

tin states that on the sandy soil Of the
eastern and southern part of Arkansas
oats rust more II less, sometimes to
the extent of destroying the crop G:
grain almost entirely, and on that ac-
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
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
Ell 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 a o 0 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 bullock;
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 a pig or
any small beast should measure two
feet in girth and two feet along the
bf ok, which. multiplied together, make
four feet square; that multiplied by
II (thc number of pounds allowed for
each square foot of cattle measuring
less than three feet in girt, makes
A pounds. Again, suppose Il calf or Il
sheep should measure four feet six
inches in girth and three feet nine inch
es in length, which, multiplied togeth-
er, make IL IL square feet; that null
tiplied by IS the number of pounds
allowed to all cattle measuring less
than five and more than three feet in
girth), makes 264 pounds.

Farm Notes.

The quite prevalent practice of SOW
ing wheat after oats is, in some re-
spects, Objectionable in most seasons
Mere especially is this true where 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 Il difficult matter during All
gust to properly fit the land for wheat.
Early-plowed wheat stubble or clover
sod can usually be put in finer condition
mt 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
plow has n natural capacity beyond
which it cannot go and do tirst-class
work. 1t is much better to turn A.
inch burrows with a 16-inch plow than
16-inch burrows with a 14-inch plow.

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
pillow 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 a pulverizer while the teeth
assist in filming the surface. The plank
drag is a 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. Il. Petit, Nemaha
county, Kan.

Overtaxed Girl Students.

Boston mothers are making a stand
against the overtaxing of girl pupils
In the schools. A petition containing
hundreds of names, and asking that
Greek be made elective instead of pre-
scribed, was presented at a meeting of
the school committee. A woman who
found her daughter breaking down in
health from overstudy at the Latin
school originated the petition, which re-
ceived the signatures of many promi-
nent men, among them being educators,
ministers, lawyers and physicians. The
mothers are willing to have German
substituted for Greek, believing that
the study OF the modern language will
tax the minds of their daughters less
and at the same time be more useful.
One of the petitioners says: "It GER
tainly seems strange that the large
number of girls who enter the Latin
school such a small percentage gradu-
ate. The cOurse is too hard. The girls
cannot stand it. They cannot, or rath-
er do not, exercise with base ball and
o~ut-of-dOor sports as the boys do. Some
skeptics have raised the point that our
daughters break down because they go
out to parties and to theaters. We
have not found hat to be the case
in a single instance. Many Of the
mothers at the meetings have said:
Why, my daughter studies from four
to six hours a day, and she doesn't
sleep nights Unless any one wants to
teach the classical studies, German and
French are much more useful to the
girls than the Greek which they have

know, too. that the little creature which
has done so much damage is an alien.
But how many know just where it
came from, and how?
We owe so many benefits to scientific
research that it is not singular that
there should be some entries on the
other side of the account. The incur
sions Of the gipsy-moth are directly
traceable to the unfortunate curiosity
CT n French scientist, who made his
home more than twenty years ago
in Medford, Mass.
This Frencllman busted himself with
experiments with silk-worms. He was
DESTROYS to find out whether there were
any other species of insects which
could be cultivated, from whose cocoon
the thread could be unwOund directly
by machinery better than can be the
thread of the cocoon of the silkworm.
To facilitate these experiments he had
sent to him from France specimens of
several species of insects, among which
he hoped to find a substitute for the
silkworm. With the rest he received
Ocneria dispar, or the gipsy-moth.
He experimental with his insects
upon trees under netting, but through
some accident the netting was broken
and the moths escaped. When he COM
municated his loss to the townspeople,
it made little impression upon them;
but after several years the foliage
on the shade trees in Medford began to
disappear as if by magic. Trees that

Barbaric Customs Abolished.

The men in the German universities
are actually dropping some Of their
barbaric customs which they have prac-
ticed since the days Of Sir T%annhauser
and his faithful Eckhardt. The clubs
Of the Leipzig university have decided
to abandon the ancient custom of
morning beer drinking bouts, on the
ground that it interferes with work.
This Is certainly a most wise resolve.
A beer bout at night is somewhat mud

in the morning it must leave ones

Can't Stand Imprisonment.

1t is a remarkable fact, though one
easily accounted for that Imprisonment
at Yuma for any term not less than
five years of an Apache or any noun
tain Indian is equivalent to imprison,
ment for life, and the cause of death
is invariably consumption. This is a
disease almost unknown among the
Apaches under normal conditions of
climate and habit. The change, how
ever, from the high attitudes of the
mountains and the bracing mountain
air to the lower level Of Yuma, with
its more than semi-tropical heat, wears
away what mountain storms and ex-

In France, it seems, there is a para
site which preys upon the moth and
holds it's destructiveness in check; but
the inquisitive Medford Frenchman
neglected to import the parasite, so
that the glpsy-moth was permitted to
ravage undisturbed until the State of
Massachusetts began to make wal upon
it. 1t is doubtful whether, since Pan
dora opened her box, so much destruc-
ton has been occasioned by so slight a
cause.
