CUTTING OATS m the MILKY
STAGE.

Where hay is plentiful 1t 10 not easy 70
persuade farmers that II will pay them
TO cut their oats just when the grain Is
in the milk, and late crops may be sown
for that purpose. We say '.pay" be-
cause when Il IL considered that the
handling and the threshins Of the grain,
with the waste Of straw (which IL then
used as bedding instead Of food) calls
not only for labor, but expense In sew
eral ways.
Farmers frequently make mistake In
not cutting the crop before II IL fully
ripe, for the reason that, In the first
place, all the nutritious matter that goes
10 the grain must pass from the ground
through the stalk. After the grain be-
gins TO all, and while il is In the milky
stage, the ingredients OF the perfect
grains are on their way TO the heads
and Of course the stalk, being fell of sap
and entirely unlike that which Is ripe
aud hard, contains all the elements that
are to complete the grain.
II the crop is 10 be cut when the grain
Ia in the milk stage the farmer secures
sll the nutritious matter Of the grains
on both stock and grain, which may be
noticed by the succulency OF the straw
after IL is cured.-Exchsnge.

The CHICKENS.

Ii Is a pertinent inquiry what ought

observation goes (snd Il extends over

greater on the farm than among fsnciers
on village lots, or on other places where
the yarding Of stock Is necessary.
IL ought 70 be the other way, since
everything IL In favor Of the farm raised

ter percentage reared on the farm is
simply that they do not have the careful
attention which the eircumsts re-
quire
IL may be that the over-worked house

Is aiming TO do with the fowls; 1t msy
be that the father or boys do not love

HILL PASTURES.

In riding through Oxford and Frank
lin Counties In this state AZ this season
OF the wear, one can but note the broad
stretches OF pasture lands reaching up
and down the sides and folding over the
tops OF the succession Of high hills that
make up q large proportion OF the terri
tory named, and give character 10 the
locality. These pastures bear, In sum
mer, a thick mat OF the sweetest OF
grasses. The soil piled up into these
hin lands IL OF such character and the
relation of these hills TO the rainfall is
such that they never dry up. Droughts
may psrch the plains, but these hill past
ures are always green. The only effect
there felt or seen Is that the grass merely
grows less sbundantly.
These lands sfford the best pssturage
for stock OF sll kinds, from the time
their sunny slopes are bare In spring
until they are wrapped In snow on the
approach OF winter. Here are opportoni-
ties that are lost sight Of by our people
possibilities not dreamed OF even by
those reared In the shadows or these
grand old hills. All that is needed 10 TO
take intelligent advantage OF the natural
conditions there found 10 such measure,
and adapt the efforts TO the location and
the surroundings. These lands are the
bes, pssturase In the world. At the
present time public estimate holds them
Ia little, slmos, trifiing value. Large
tracts can be purchased at q cost that
leaves them a valuable possession, and
in many eases with buildings still sound
and comfortable.

and cattle offers an encouragement al

HAMPER EQR BULL.

Every bull st two wears OF age should
have ring In his nose; q copper one is
best. At that age he should also have
large-sized buttons on the tip end OF his
horns. Take of each button and slip un-
der it so ~ to ft TO the under side OF
each button an iron made like figure
twisted In the middle like chain pump
link. Then run 4 stout but small rope
or cord through these rings and through
the one In his n0se. Then tie the cord
on top between the horns, and the job ID
done.
Care must be taken, however, for 10
wet weather the cord may shrink and
make the nose unnecessarily sore.

much trouble when treated in this way,

years Of age, also In two instances sold
them TO parties Who kept them until

FEED vs. BLOOD.

| IL ID IN old motto that "BloOd vii
tell." while this may be true In meas
ure, Il b equally true that food VIII tell
Food makes the breed. Food makes
quality. Food was fret called into
rrQoi ition to improve from the founda.
ton stock. Therefore the wise and
skiliful feeder Il the wise and skillful
breeder. The breeder who depends alone
on blood will be failure, b the asser.
ton Of correspondent In the American
Swineherd.
No matter how well established Is q
line of.blood or breeding Il viii not pro-
duce without good feeding, nor will Il
produce even then, 80 per cent that will
be equal TO the parents. Right here Is
one Of the causes Of q good deal OF
trouble In breeders satisfying their Gus
TONERS. They get an Idea into their
heads that every pig that wears pedi-
gree, no matter II he IL deficient In indi-
yiduality, should be sold a. breeder
because Of his blood and pedigree. The
point desire to make IL that the most
skillful breeder and the best feeder
should Gull his produce and should not
ship an animal that is not first class In
iuviduality, no matter how good pedi-
gree he has.
There is also trouble arising for the
buyer Of good pig Of good breeding
who expects the blood to do Il all.
Through carelessness, indifference or
wrongful feeding the pig deteriorstes
and the breeder from whom the pig was
purchased Is censured, whereas the
trouble Is In the buyer himself not being
q good feeder.
The best feeder IL not an cxtravagant
feeder nor 4 wasteful feeder, but one
who watches his animals carefully TO
see that they are not out Of condition,
that they are always ready for their food
and gives them just enough. So between
the breeder who ships everything that
wears pedigree, and the buyer who ex-
poets blood to do II all there Il quite q
little friction and dissatisfaction caused
The friction and dissatisfaction are
partly caused because pigs are bought
aud sold without the buyer seeing until
they are shipped to him. The seller for
the purpose Of selling perhaps over-rep-
rcsents and over-rates the pigs, and
works up the anticipation Of the buyer to
high pitch.
Then again there are number Of diff
ferept ideas about the form Of the ideal
pig. This can be shown by Eve or SIX
men going 70 herd Of fifteen pigs, and
each selecting his first choice and each
taking different pig.
Some breeders, because OF their repu-
tation ship too close, and l have found
that can purchase better individuality
from the breeder who has not the great
est reputation, not that breeder OF rep
utation does not always produce such
good pigs, but he has such demand for
them that he increases the prices and
ships closer. So I will take an honest
breeder that is capable, but that Is
younger or at least has less reputation,
and will secure q better individual pig
every time, at least at medium prices
