If oil and cOttonseed meal are not
available to mix with oat straw it can
be cut and mixed with good early cut
clover hay. One ton of oat straw cut
and mixed with one ton of good clover
hay is equal in feeding value to two
tons of timothy hay fed whole.
Oat straw, q waste product OF the
farm, could and should be utilized by
our dairy farmers by little judicious
management; of itself alone, oat straw
produces the thinnest of thin milk,
when if put through feed cutter and
mixed with nitrogenous food such as
cottonseed meal or oil meal, it could all
be made available and turned to good
account.-Farmer's Voice.

SEASON FOR SPRAYING.
EruIt and Berry Growers Must Use ThslE

Own Judgment.
The grower himself must decide
when and how often to spray, because
he should know what enemies he de-
sires to reach. If ne has the bud moth
he should spray with the first swelling
of the buds, and if he has the plum scale
he should spray in the winter. But
leaving the special insect aside, it is
safe to say that for the two staple
enemies, the apple scab and the Goblin
moth, at least two sprayings should be
given. I am not yet convinced that
spraying when the tree is dormant has
any appreciabIe effect in destroying the
apple scab fungus. AS a general state
ment, I should say, spray twice upon
apples and pears, once just as the fruit
buds break open but before the flowers
expand, and again just as the last bios
SONS fall. In both cases should use
a combination of Bordeaux mixture and
paris green. The first spraying is for
the seab fungus in particular, and for
this the Bordeaux is used; but the
paris green will most likely be Of serv-
ice in destroying various leaf-eating
insects. The second spraying is for the
Goblin moth in particular, and for this
the paris green is used; but the Bor-
deaux mixture will still be needed for
the apple scab and other fungi.
Whether or not it is necessary 10 spray
again will depend largely upon the sea-
son. The operator must watch matters
closely, and spray when he needs to
do SO or when he is in doubt. Two
sprayingS are sufficient for the Goblin
moth, and three are generally sufficient
for the apple scab. These two spray.

Attributes OF 8 Good FarmeF.

The Southern Farm Gazette asserts
that no man is good farmer who does
not at least maintain year in and year
out the average productiyeness and
fertility of his farming lands. 1t is
not hard thing to do this either for
any intelligent farmer, Little better
can be expected of an ignorant negro
tenant than to make it his invariable
rule to squeeze out Of the soil all that
the soil will bear, paying back nothing
in the way Of plant food for future
crops, practicing the plan Of soil rob

surely expect better things Of intelli-
gent white farmers and land owners.

The professional instructors in but

troubled with the body Of it's butter,
the commission firm saying that the
body is short and brittle and crumbles

a private dairyman finds that feed does
effect the hardness of the butter fats,
that a warm water bath after washing
the butter will soften it so 1t will not
be so brittle, but the main reason for
hard fats and brittle body is the lack
of fresh cows. When the strippers are
dried and fresh COWS take their place
this trouble disappears. Stearine fats
lpredOminate in stTippers' milk as
truly as they do when cOttonseed is fed,
and more warmth is required to soften
the hard fats in either case, but the
butter cannot be made quite so good
anyhow, as butter from fresh cows

Careful comparisons made in Ger
many from the records Of large herds
show that there is no relation, or even
approximate relation, between the
weight Of cows and the yield of milk.
The record Of a Norwegian herd for ten
years shows that in different years the
average yield Of milk per pound Of live

480 and O.e pounds. The amount In

GOLD COIN FOR GOLD ORE

representing several Of the largest gold
mines in Colorado, with an annual pro-
duction Of $5.000,0 900. are leading the

paying off the employees and will thus
go into circulation instead of into tho

RUMoRs ABOUT ROCKEFELLER
He is Said to Intend to Work up His Own

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. ia rumor Is
in circulation here to the effect that Mr..
John d. Rockefeller, the multi-million-
aire, has purchased the great plant OF
the Johnson steel work at Lorain, but it
lacks confirmation. In fact, President
A. J. Mexham of the Johnson company
when communicated with by telephone,
denied the rumor. Ex-Congressman
Tom l. Johnson is at present absent
from the city. One incident that would
seem to give some credene to the rumor
is TO the fact that Mr.. Rockefeller has dur
ing the past two days been driving out
tothe country In the vicinity of Lorraine,
making a careful examination Of the
lay of the land between Lorraine and
Elyria. The building by Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter of an immense fleet of ore-carrying
vessels on the great lakes to carry ore
from his mines in the Superior region,
has led many people to believe that Mr..
Rockefeller intended building or acquir
ing big steel plant to convert his ore
into market products.

Washington, D. c., Sept. Ex-senator
Butler. chairman of the Populist ma
tional committee, says he is in accord
with the sentiment expressed in the
letter of Senator Allen notifying Mr.
Bryan of his nomination by the Populist
convention. 1--WE nominated Mr.. Bryan
at St. Louis,' said he, because of his
record in the overshadowing issue Of
this campaign"
When the attention of Senator Butler
Nas called TO the report that he had writ
fen Congressman Howard of Alabama
that Se.vau would be Withdrawn, he
replied:
s.Mr. Howard is mistaken if he is cor
rectly represented in the dispatch II
any such statement was sent our from
here il was sent without my authority
Nothing would give me more pleasure
than TO have Mr. Sewall withdraw, and
his withdrawal would remove an ele-
ment of friction from the campaign and
make the election OF Bryan certain, but
the matter rests with Mr.. SewaI.
Referring TO a report from Green's
boro. y. c., quoting him as saying 1t
was a mistake for the Populists to have
nominated MT. BY dA, 'ocAdtOi DuNI0A
said:
Il have never made any such state
ment. The party could not have selec-
ted a better man than Mr.. Bryan, even
from its own ranks. Furthermore, af-
Ter he had been nominated by the DEM
ocrats and already had several million
votes pledged, he was the only man the
PopuIists had any chance of electing TO
the presidency this year. The only
way we could make our votes effective
in defeating Mckinley and the gold
standard, was by nominating and sup
porting Bryan, and the duty of every
American patriot who believes in Amer
lean independence and who opposes the
British gold standard, is to vote for
him"
The senator declined to discuss the
statement in the same report that there
probably would be no fusion between
the Popunsts and the Democrats Of
North Carolina on the electoral ticket,
further than to say that the state would
poll its electoral vote against Nc
