FOR THE FARMER.
Harvesting Oats.

Oats will make better feed and
the straw will contain more nutri-
ment if cut before they are too ripe.
One, in fact, the principal, object
ion to cutting oats with seIf-hinder
is that if cut at the stage at which
they will make the best feed, there
is considerable risk of their mold
ing in the sheaf, especially if the
weather is showery.
For feed alone oats should be cut
when the seed has fully formed and
the bottom of the stalks begins to
turn yellow. When to be thrashed
for grain the seed should have be-
gun to harden By cutting early
the straw contains larger per cent
of nutriment than if allowed to
ripen, and this is another reason for
cutting in good season.
When to be used for feed, there is
no advantage in threshing; it is
added expense and to some extent
loss. One of the best ways of
feeding oats so as to lessen the waste
as much as possible is to not thrash,
and when ready to feed run them
through feed cutter, add "a small
quantity of wheat bran, dampen
slightly and feed In this way there
will be practically no waste and they
will make complete ration.
An economical way of harvesting
them is to cut and manage the same
as clover for hay, for by this plan
the cost is materially lessened over
using the binder. But when this
plan is followed they should be
stored under shelter, as it is difficult
to stack them so as to keep in the
best condition

Many meadows and pastures are
destroyed by bad management. The
farmer is in too great hurry to
realize from his investment, and
does not give the grass an oppor-
tunity to become fully established,
cattle being turned in to trample
the field at a season when the ground
is wet, or Craze it closely when the
land may be in need Of rain.
When grass is seeded in the Fall
it starts off soon in Spring and
makes rapid growth, Offering "a
strong temptation for the use of
stock, but it will be found better to
allow the grass to grow and NOW it
once Tor hay, so as to induce it to
thicken and stool, but to have it
trampled or cropped close by cattle
and sheep the first year is to do it
more injury than can be regaiued
during the life of the meadow or
pasture.
The first years management is
very important, and the rule to fol-
low is to allow the grass to become
firmly rooted and to make as much
growth as possible before moving
or pasturing it, care being taken
that the grass is cut before it bears
sect AS there will be different
kinds of grass, it will be well to
NOW as soon as the early seeding
kinds begin to seed. With white
clover the seeding is important, as
it is a short grass, and may not re-
main unless under favorable CON
ditions Before seeding the land an
application of wood ashes, harrow
ed in, will he found excellent, and
lime is also beneficial.-Ma

This is Certainly wonderful Chance

We are aware that our readers
who suffer from Nervous, Chronic
and Sexual Diseases do not have
the same opportunity to be cured as
do the residents of the large cities,
where the most eminent physicians
and specialists reside. DR.. c. H.
Towner, Detroit, Mich, Box g.,
who has the largest practice in the
world and who is without doubt the
most successful specialist in curing
all forms of Nervous, Chronic and
Sexual troubles, offers free consul
tation by mail to all sufferers. The
Doctor has just issued very in
teresting and instructive treatise
that should be read by every man
who is married or is thinking of
marriage 1t gives you information
on many subjects which you have
no doubt often wondered about. He
will send you a copy free, if you
write to him enclosing a stamp.
Better write to-day, as the demand
for the treatise is very large and
first come are first served No mat
ter who has failed to cure you, it
will cost you nothing to obtain the
Doctors opinion on your case. Re
member he has made his world wide
reputation by curing the most OBJ
stinate cases, after they had been
given up by the most eminent ply
sicians in this country and Europe.
Do not be deferred from seeking his
advice, because after being treated
by many who failed to cure you,
you have become discouraged. This
is the very time you should make
one more trial. The Doctors offer
of free consultation will only last a
short time longer, so we would adj
wise our readers who are interested
to write at once about their case, as
he will surely cure them and the
chance to get the free advice of this
eminent specialist may never occur
again.

Too many farmers are absolutely
indifferent to the appearance OF
things about their premises and Oh
their farms. This habit of neglect
not only subjects all such to the inn
putation Ivy passers-by of being poor
and unsuccessful farmers, a thing
which any good farmer will natural
ly resent; but it does them actual
injury.
When the master on the farm is
careless and slovenly in his habits,
leaving tools and implements lying
around, and taking no pains to keep
things snug and tidy in appearance,
it gives to his hired labor, as well
RS his own family, license to do even
worse The result naturally is alb
solute indifference on the part of
everybody else to both the preserva
ton of valuable property and the
appearance OF the place. SO it will
not stamp such man in the pub
lie estimate as poor and shiftless,
but it actually goes IA long way to-
ward making him so. No man can
succeed these times on the farm or
in any other business who does not
practice economy, industry and or
derliness.
And of one thing there can not
be a particle of doubt; the comfort
and pleasure of living on such a
farm is infinitely greater than that
on place kept in slovenly and
ramshackle sort of way Tri-!State

Zone or two signs will denote a
good COW, as well as twenty. In a
poor COW the thigh runs down
straight, so there is no space be-
tween the thigh and the udder on
one side and the tail on the other.
There should be plenty of daylight
between the udder and the tail. One
of the best ways to tell what kind
OF a COW you have is her tempera-
ment. A good dairy type has a
sharp spine, strongly developed
nervous system, and sharp hip
bones. A good COW has large,
wedge-shaped stomach, for she must
have a large and powerful digestive
system to use up her food quickly
and make the best returns for it.
"Some of the animals the first
year made but little over 200 pounds
per COW, while others gave over BOO
pounds. We have kept mp this rec

our cows averaged 399 pounds pei

The Asparagus He'd.

An asparagus bed should original
ly be made very deep and rich, and
this quality of the soil must be
maintained by heavy annual mulch
ing late in the Fall, with stable ma
nure. In the Spring the coarse lit
ter is raked off and the remainder
of the fertilizer forked into the soil.
This ought to be done very early in
the season in order not to disturb
the sprouts, A heavy top dressing
of salt applied once or twice during
the Summer is great stimulant to
the asparagus, which is marine
plant, and also helps to keep in
check the weeds which are apt to
be rampant among it.
An asparagus bed treated in this
way will last a lifetime, unless il
should become the haunt of moles
which, by burrowing back and forth
have been known to cut off the roots
and seriously damage, if not entire
ly destroy, the bed ~ IS
