Experiments with Oats.

The Minnesota station reports the les
sons to be drawn from one experiment,
so far as single trial can be relied
upon, are that the more compact we
mike our seed bed and lower part Of the

shallow "dust blanket the better we
can save what moisture Is in the soil
and apply it TO the use of the growing
crop at the time of termination and
stooling when it needs most water. BY
the time the grain has got past the ger
minating and stooling period the capil-
larry action which was interrupted by
the pillow has resumed operation and is
ready to supply moisture from below.
While a shallow dust blanket l. evi-

"''eh hanuring and For Feeding
RESULTS Gained at Different stations.
Farmers bulletin No. rs issued from
'he department OF agriculture contains
vast fund Of information gained from
reports OF experiments conducted at
many stations. Following is a summary
OF the whole subject:
preen manuring improves the phys
ical properties of the soil by making tbo
foli more porous and adding 10 its sup
ply OF humus. 1t brings up the dormant
pant FOOD from deep down in the soil
and deposits II near the surface. Green
manurlng with buckwheat Hungarian
grass and other noulcguminous plants
adds practically nothing 70 the soil
which was not there before. EXCEPT a
mass OF vegetable matter which DECAYS
ana goes 10 form humus. Green manur-
ing, with clovers, peas, beans, lupines
etc Qeguminous crops, actually en-
riches the soil III nitrogen drawn from
the air. 1t Is the cheapest means OF
manuring the soil with nitrogen.
But animals as well rs plants re-
qulre nitrogen for food. BY feeding the
crops OF clover, cow peas etc, only about
one-fourth OF the fertilizing materials of
the crop Is lost If the manure is proper
ly cared for. The leguminous crop is
best utilized when il is fed on the farm
and the manure saved and applied TO
the soil The greatest profit is thus Sc
cured, and nearly the same fertility is
maintained as IN green manuring
For renovating worn or barren soils,
and for maintaining the fertility where
the barnyrd manure Is not properly
cared for, green manuring with such le-
gumlnous crops as COW peas, clovers and
lupines Is recommended. A dressing Of
potash and rhosphatcs will usually be
sufficient for the green manuring crop.
The practice of green manuring on me-
dunn and better classes of soils is IRA.
tional and wastcful
The system of soiling or feeding green
crops III the barn In place Of pasturage
enables larger number Of animals TO be
kept on given area of land and the
manure TO be more completely saved
For this purpose leguminous crops are
extremely valuable. Hay from legumi-
nous crops is about twice as rich i'll pro-
TEN as hay from grasses Leguminous
crops yield larger crops of hay 10 the
acre than grasses. Hence the production
of food materials on an acre, especially
protein, is several times larger with le-
guminous crops.
If allowed to ripen, the seed Of the
COW pea and SOFA bean furnishes an eX-
tremely rich concentrated feed which
can be ground and fed in place Of eXpen-
sive commercial feeds. The straw re-
naming may be fed a. coarse fodder,
for it is richer than ordinary hay. Grow
more leguminous crops. They furnish
the cheapest food for stock and the
cheapest manure for the soil They do
this because they obtain from the air
substance necessary for plants and AMI
mails alike, which costs IN the form of
fertilizers and feeding stuffs from 10
TO 20 cents pound.

The entomologist Of the department Of
agriculture al Washington states that
the damage done by the u year locust

deadening Of the terminal twigs of fruit
and shade trees by the females i'm the

Good Road. Double the Farmers Incom.

The cost Of highway transportation
over the properly built roads Of France
does not exceed one-third the like ex-
pense in the United States, 1t being com.
mon in the rural districts of France to
haul three tons and in the cities from
three 10 five tons net freight with one
horse. In this way the good road saves
the farmer each year much more than
its cost, and we may ignsre the increased
pleasure in its use. If two horses haul
the load Of four, one wagon of two, one
act Of harness of two, one driver serve
for two, and if six miles instead Of three
be passed per hour, the aggregate saving
would double the net income of the av
srage huckster or farmer. Exchange
