Prac.icaI Farm writers.

II is to be regretted that many of our
farmers and stockmen who are best
fitted to do their brethren good through
the farm papers are so backward about
putting their pens to paper We know
many men whose long experience and
careful. intelligent observation have
made their judgment on certain mat
tiers Of great interest and value; yet
they could not be induced to write an
article for the paper, says National
Stockman. And we know others who
have no farms, never had, and never
will have unless as a gift. who are will
ing and think they are able to instruct
practical farmers through the press
at so much per line or per column.

Of the former on it's list of contributors.
The obstacles In the way Of the av-
erage practical man who thinks Of writ
Ing for the paper are more imaginary
than real. He is apt to distrust his
ability to say things just right. or to
spell Just right; or he is likely to con-
slider that 1t is too great an undertake

is no danger that the man who knows
what he is talking about will make any
serious blunders when he writes. If be

the fence. he can tell it to man across
the continent. All that is necessary Is
TO write plain. simple account. Never
mind about the spelling. Don't let the
punctuation scare you out. The editor
can attend TO these. Have something
to say. and say 1t as simply, clearly and
briefly as possible. This is the sum to

There is reason for the fact that in
proportion to their weight oats sell
higher than any other grain. They are
worth more pound for pound than com,
not only because they are more nitro
genous than corn and their nutriment Is
therefore more easily dlgested. but be-
cause also the hull Of the oat gently
excites the lining OF the stomach, and
thus aids digestion of all food in t..
When both proteids and carbon go into
the stomach the carbon is better digest
ed, because the system gets the nutri-
ton 1t needs, and all parts operate
more vigorously. With oats. oil meal
and cotton-seed meal and wheat bran
