The Increa.in~ Use Of Grain Hay.

There seems to be little doubt that
the practice of using grain hay is in
creasing among farmers Oats, wheat
and rye are cut before the heads are
fully formed and cured like timothy
and other grass. Barley seems to make
an excellent hay for horses, with wheat
probably coming next. We have often
thought that dairy farmers lose great
deal Of the value of the oat crop by let
ting it go to seed Our experience is
that oat hay makes cheap and excel
lent feed for all kinds Of live stock. -

Remember that cabbage, greens and

BOB LOTHIAN FOR COUNTY
TREASURER.

Robert NJ. Lothian is being mention
ed as n suitable candidate for the Office
of County Treasurer. There is no
possible question as to Bobs fitness for
the place, and there is also no possible
question as to what his friends in this
locality will do if his name is present
ed in the County Convention. They
will be governed entirely by his wishes
in the matter. He was made standard
bearer for his party here when the
party was in need OF standard bearer,
and he did not disappoint those who
pinned their faith on his ability to win
out against strong opposition. Those
friends were loyal to him on every
occasion when his name was presented
for consideration of the electors. They
are loyal to him to-day, and we believe
that the Republican electors of Yale
will be unanimous in his support. 1t
simply remains for him to look the
entire ground over and then direct his
friends as to his wishes in the matter.
