Spring Oat Crop.

Upon our lighter lands it is we'll to
get in the spring oat crop at the earli-
est practicable moment, and in order
to take the chances Of escape from in
jury, we would always sow part at
least of the crop in February. Great
care should be taken in the selection
of seed. The homegrown seeds, which
is undou btedly the best for our use, are
often filed with rust pores, and for this
reason should always be treated with
blue-stone or with hot water, accord
ing to the Jansen method. The water
should be heated to 140 degrees, and
each sack of oats suspended in it, so
that the water will reach every part for
about three minutes, not more. If not
to be sown at once, the seed should be
spread out to dry, taking care that
there are no rust spores which can
again come in contact with the seed.
Drying is not necessary il they are to
be sown at once, but we have found
that it is a good plan to roll the damp
seed in plaster. This will not only
help the crop, but enables us to judge
accurately as to the quantity of seed
being sown.
As to the propriety Of turning un.
der sod with a heavy growth, we
would not advise that it be done this
late in the season. AS wasteful as II
seems, the grass, ETC., should be
burned off before the plow, unless Il
can be turned under deep enough tt
be entirely out Of the way. There
will not now be time for the thorough
decomposition of this matter before
the crops are to be planted. and it'
presence on the upper soil will be O
little benefit, besides being constaD
drawback to The successful cultiya
ton OF the growing crops. Southern

street Covered with Glass.

There is in Milan, Italy, "A covered
street of circular shape, rooted with
glass and surmounted by a large dome,
round the inside of which runs a row
of gas burners. The lighting of these,
at such height, was difficult and dan
gerous until electricity was made to
do the work. A miniature railway has
been built close to the lights, on which
runs a tiny electric locomotive, car
rying wick stepped in spirits of wine.
When the time comes for lighting this
wick Is set on fire and the little engine
starts on it's course. 1t flies briskly
round, kindling the circle of lamps and
causing tho greatest interest among the
thousands who gather every night to
witness it.

Glial. lie allows the hen to perch on
his back and then canters around the
yard with her. Whenever the hen strays
off with her progeny Duke corrals her
from the rest Of the flock and drives
her back to the yard. When night
comes the hen roosts upon the dog 8

The most remarkable thing about
Duke and the hen is that they seem to
perfectly understand each other. When
the hen begins to cackle just previous
to laying, Duke never leaves her. He
squats down and, with his four feet,
forms a nest in which the hen lays her

RESEMBLES The FOX.
The Fennec, q Beautiful Littio Animal
Found In Africa.


This beautiful little animal, which 10
peculiar to Africa, being found In
Egypt and Nubia, resembles the fox IN
general form and has the same bushy
tail. Its large ears and small head give
it quaint look and its pretty blue eyes
are bright and intelligent looking. The
fur is generally of pale fawn color, but
sometimes creamy white, while the tail
is of the same color, except in the upper
base and the end, which parts are de-
oidedly black.
Full-grown, the fennec, or zerda, is
about l2 inches long, without the tail,
which is two-thirds the length OF the
body. He is very active, and has a
habit of running ways, then stopping
to sit on his launches, looking very
grave. Like the fox, he feeds on vari-
GUS fruits, but is marvel in that he
performed the astonishing feat OF
climbing up lofty date palm and there
secured the fruit, which hangs in rich

A Patriarch Among Parrots.

In Brooklyn there is parrot which
is undoubtedly 80 years Of age, and per-
haps older. The present owner has
the genealogy of the bird, and it begins
in 1906, when the parrot was brought
from England, and it was then claimed
that it was the mate of one owned by
King George III. The parrot is noted
for it's dignity, and holds receptions in
great style. 1t is accomplished, speak
