Experiments With Oats.

The experiments with oats recorded
in an Illinois station bulletin seem to
indicate that within reasonable limits
thickness Of seeding has little influence
upon yield, with a preference decided,
though slight, in favor of 21s bushels
per acre; that from different thickness
Of seeding the yield Of grain and its
weight per bushel are quite independent
of the weight of straw; that the most
favorable time for sowing is the very
last of March, with tendency favoring
an earlier date that yields of grain and
straw from seedlings at different dates
fuctuate more nearly together than do
those from different rates Of seeding
that comparatively shallow seeding is
necessary; that maximum yields may
be had with medium weights of straw.

Irrigating Orchards.

G. @. Geirgeson, writing from Kan.
sas to Prairie Farmer, says:
Experience has proved that fall and
winter irrigation is very beneficial to
orchards. Fruit growers III irrigated
districts are almost unit on this ques.
ton. A good soaking in winter enables
the trees to make vigorous start when
the growing season sets in and supplies
the soil with moisture sufficiently to
maintain the growth during the greater
part of the summer OF course the wa.
ter should not be applied until after
growth has entirely ceased in the fall
and the wood has properly matured If
applied too early in the fall, it may
stimulate to late growth, which will
prove disastrous to the fruit crop.

Richard now espoused his niece,
daughter Of Edward ", and in order
to make the home nest perfectly free
from social erosion he caused his con-
sort, Anne, to be poisoned. Those who
believed the climate around the throne
to be bracing and healthful had chance
to change their views in land where a
pea soup fog can never enter. Anne
was the widow of Edward, whom Rich
ard slew at Tewkesbury.
Every one felt that Richard was q
disgrace to the country and Henry,
earl of Richmond, succeeded i'll defeat

worth field in 1885, when Henry was
crowned on the battlefield.
Richard was buried at Leicester, but
during the reign of Henry VIII, when
the monasteries were destroyed, Rich
ards body was exhumed and his stone
coffin used for many years in that town
as a horse trough
Shakespeare and the historians give
an unpleasant impression regarding
Richard s personality, but this was done
in the interest of the Tudors, perhaps.
He was highly intelligent, and if he
had given less attention to usurpation
would have been more popular.
Under the administrations Of the
houses Of Lancaster and York serfdom
was abolished, as the slaves who We're
armed during the War of tho Roses
would not submit again to slavery after
they had fought for their country.

poor had to subsist upon acorns and
wild roots. During those days Whiting

Grasses on Prairie Loan,

The statement is often made that the
tame grasses and clovers will not do as
well on the rich prairie loan as
ON the heavier soils Of the eastern
states. We hear farmers say that the
reason they do not SOW grasses is be-
cause they will not grow. There is no
soil better adapted to grass culture than
one that has been made by grass. But
as in everything else, one must know
how to treat his grass crop to make it
succeed. The crops obtained from new
land for the first dozen years are so
abundant and the yields are SO great
compared with the amount of labor that
the farmer must bestow upon his field
to obtain them that he often forgets
that there may still be some things that
require care to produce. Tame grasses
Will grow in any of the prairie states,
but they must be given as much care
and cultivation in Nebraska as they re.
caive in New York, according to as high
authority as Jared G. Smith.

wise the crop rotation will be thrown

at the proper time good catch of clover

THE SACRED LOTUS.
There Are Pretty Legends of Song and
Story About Its Fruit.

Concerning the rich fruit of the lotus,
which grew luxuriantly in the Nile,
many charming legends have been told.
1t was believed that it was so delightful
that those who ate of it would never
leave the spot where it grew, but for it
would abandon home and friends to
spend their lives in q dream of serene
delight. Homer, in the Odyssey, men,
tions the lotus eaters, who lived On the
northern coast of Africa, and records
their attempts to detain the followers
Of Ulysses by giving them the fruits of
the lotus to eat, so that they should
never wish to leave the spot where it
grew.
The same poetical idea is known to
the Arabs, who call it the fruit of des-
tiny, which is to be eaten in paradise,
and it is on this foundation that Tenny-
son built his charming poem of the
Lotus Eaters" This mythical lotus
has been identified by several botanists
with that indigenous to Tunis, which is
thorny shrub, with berries of the size
of an olive.
Mungo Park found species of lotus
in Central America bearing berries of
delicious taste, which, ON being dried
and pounded, made very wholesome
and pleasant bread. The lotus fruit
found in Tunis has stimulating, al.
most Intoxicating effect, and it is there
fore probable that this plant furnished
the foundation of the ancient legends.
The sacred lotus of the Egyptians was
fine aquatic plant, dedicated to Osiris
and Isis and regarded in Egyptian de-
lineations as signifying the creation of
the world Distinct from this lotus was
that known as the blue lotus Of the
Nile, also sacred plant. Both these
species of lotus occur frequently as re-
ligious symbols and decorations in the
temples. Public Opinion.

SIMPLE, WELL CONSTRUCTED sILo.

apart, one being placed within Is inches
of the top and bottom Of the silo The
method of keeping these bands tight
and of taking up the slack due to the
shrinkage of the slaves is very simple
one. Pieces Of we'll seasoned oak, by
inches by about feet long, have
holes bored through them for the inser-
ton of the hoops. Large nuts with wash
ers are put on the ends of the hoops, and
then by simply tightening these nuts
the silo can be kept tight, and as shrink
age progresses the slack can be taken up.
If when the silo is filed the moisture
causes the slaves to swell, we may loosen
the nuts and prevent anything from
breaking.
To hold the slaves in place during the
summer when the silo may be empty
one may use large staples such as are
employed in the construction of barb
wire fence. These staples should be
driven i'll so that they will overlap the
crack one prong being inserted in one
stave, the other prong being inserted in
the adjoining stave.
The doors may be constructed in the
following manner: Pieces similar to the
felly of a wagon wheel are nailed to the
outside Of the silo between the bands;
then with saw set at bevel the door
is sawed out so that it can be removed
only from the inside. A space three feet
wide will usually be found large enough
for the door. The cut made by the saw
at each end will permit the insertion of
a piece of tarred paper when the door is
put i'll place. The sides Of the door may
be planned off slightly SO that paper may
be put in to make the opening alright.
All the doors needed would probably be
secured by cutting out the space between
every second hoop. A silo 80 feet high
and 20 feet in diameter would hold
about 1873 tons Of ensilage. Country
Gentleman, authority for the foregoing
illustrated description, tells that this
silo was set up IN one day by two men.

ROCK Phosphates.

Rock phosphates arc known under
several different names which generally
designate the localities from which they
come as South Carolina rock, Florida
rock, Tennessee rock, West India rock.
etc. Other forms of mineral phosphates
are known under the names of apatite,
ccoprolite and phosphorite, which are
found IN various places in America and
Europe and some of which are used in
making commercial fertilizers. How.
ever the greatest source of supply of
phosphoric acid is the phosphate rcck of
our southern states The rock phos.
pilates are extensively used in making
superphosphates. When ground to a
very fine fiourlike powder, rock phos.
phates are called floats" Rock phos.
phates contain usually from 20 to 80
per cent of phosphoric acid and some as
much as 80 or 40 per cent

Printing may be regarded as the most
valuable discovery during those bloody

The silo was circular in shape and
built of pine slaves six inches wide and
two inches thick, which had been
beveled at the mill for the purpose. The
foundation was of concrete, and upon
this the slaves were set The circular
form was obtained by simply mailing
barrel slaves ON the outside to hold them
in place until the hoops could be put
on. The use of barrel slaves in this
manner saved the making of frame
around which to build the sils.
The hoops or bands should be of gall
vanized iron, the size being about one
half inch in diameter, and these should
be put ON at distance of to 81 feet
