where oysters are not oysters at all,

CEREALS FOR FUEL.
a Question That May BE Worth More
CONFEDERATION Than IL Usual
IL Given to IL.

Prof. Thomas Gray is reported to
have estimated the value of cereals Us
a fuel to be about one-haH that of coal.
We are not informed of what grain he
was speaking. If it be true of Indian
corn it would indicate that there are
times when corn would be much cheap
er than coal, especially in sections of
country far removed from railroad
transportation. In such places coal is
high because of the cost of bringing il
in and corn is cheap because Of the cost
of transporting it to market. Thus in
1896 the average price of corn in Ne
braska for the whole year was only
10 cents. During part of the year the
price was much lower, and in some sec
lions it was far below ten cents per
bushel. With coal at only 81 per ton,
q very moderate price, it would pay to
burn corn rather than coal. Corn un-
der the conditions named would be
worth $3.50 per ton, or ten cents per
bushel. But as coal has sold as high
as SO per ton in Illinois and Indiana
within few years it has doubtless been
at price in some parts of the less ac-
cessible west where it would have
made corn worth at least Is cents per
bushel. The removal of part Of the
corn surplus in this way might many
times stimulate the market for corn
and depress the home market for coa!,
both of advantage to the farmer

OATS AFTER OATS.
How to Maintain the Fertility Of Soil
ON Farms Where the C0ndi.
tions Are Unfavorable.

All farmers know that oats are an
exhaustive crop, and also one that ii
IS especially hard to get clover or
grass seeding with. Where winter
grain is not grown, and oats are the
chief small grain grown, one failure to
seed is apt to be followed by others,
until the land becomes SO exhausted
that neither oats nor grass can be
grown. Most of these failures to seed
with spring grain come from blowing
the land in early spring, thus turning
up lower strata of soil that has not
been properly mellowed by freezing.
The remedy for this is to fall pillow the
land, leaving through, and then SO soon
as it is fit to work, cultivate it lightly
and put in the grain and grass seed
before blowing can be done. If frost
freezes the soil an inch or two after the
grain and grass seed are sown, it will
be all the better for both. If the second
crop of oats fails to give grass and
clover seeding, plow the stubble in the
fall after the oats are off and SOW wheat
or rye, seeding with grass seed in the
fall and with clover seed in the spring.
This rarely fails to give good grass
catch, and if the season be favorable.
there will be some clover with it, even
on poor, thin soil.-Prairie Farmer.

The rejoinder pleased the old gentleman,

man was obliged to make journey, and
in his absence, through some oversight, the
quality of oil was allowed to deteriorate.

True value Of Farm Crops.

The products Of the. farm can be
changed in value according to the kind
Of crop. Every article has q commercial
value where it is grown. as it will be
worth something, be it much or little,
but there is also feeding value which
represents the use to which it may be
applied with the view of deriving a
profit from it. An article may be worth
more for feeding on the farm upon
which it is grown than to purchaser,
as the purchase necessitates the cost of
transportation. A farmer can there
fore feed his home grown articles with
less expense than he can feed articles
purchased and brought on the farm.
