An Experiment. With Oats.

The Ohio Station has been for sew
eral years conducting. experiments
with oats, one of the objects being to
ascertain the amount of seed most
profitable to use on an acre. In a for
mer test running over five years, six
pecks were found to give better
yield than either more or less seed.
These tests were conducted on the
warm, gravelly soils,' except one
year. The second series of tests be-
gan in 1898 and lasted five years, and
the amounts of seed varied from four
to eleven peclis per acre. The varie-
ties of oats used we're the Seizure and
the Wideawake. Taking into consid.
Grafton the fve-year average, the Seiz.
ure variety gives its highest yield OF
grain from eleven pecks, exceeding,
however, the yield from nine pecks
by less than one bushel. The weight
per measured bushel is highest from
the ten-peck seeding. The yield of
straw is largest from five pecks. With
the Wideawake variety the highest
yield of grain is from the ten-peck
rate, the heaviest grain from nine
pecks and the largest yield of straw
from four pecks. This seems to In
dicate that nine or ten pecks OF seed
is as satisfactory as more. and rather
better than less than this amount.
This for Wayne county, Ohio, and sim.
liar soils.

Raising Bronze Turkeys.

From Farmers Review: Among
the many things learned in my expo
rlence with the bronze turkeys, will
name briefly few. In the success

the most essential point is vigor, then
size and then fine markings of
plumage. The fancier must consider
size, because nine out Of every ten
want size. l have had the best sue
cess with pullets of from 16 to 20
pounds, and old hens, 10 to % pounds.
They lay eggs of more fertility than
larger hens. They are more active
and healthy and make better moth
ers. The extremely large and over
lat hens generally lay odd-shaped
eggs and but few of them and often
break them. The tom has more in
huence on shape and color of off
spring than does the female He
should be as near perfection in typi-
cal carriage and color of plumage as
is possible to get, and of medium
size and plenty Of vigor. like a
tom of the pit game nature, as they
are sure to get good healthy pullets.
A good vigorous tom will mate with
Is or 20 hens. Turkey hens should
be very carefully fed, if fed at all
during laying season. Turkeys that
have free range do not need much
feed, as they can pick up nearly all
they need, unless it is a large flock
1t is good plan to feed meat once
week, as it has tendency to make
the eggs more fertile. In the rearing
OF young turkeys, never let the young
ones get wet. The slightest damp
ness is fatal. Nine-tenths of young
turkeys die from lice. Dust them
with insect powder three times a
week. Also the mother. Feed on
rolled oats, corn pone, millet seed and
curds. Ground bone and fine gravel

results by fencing off large parks
with poultry netting and keeping my
flocks of turkeys in them during the
breeding season. This saves the
watching and long walks for the eggs
II confined, the turkeys must be fed
a balanced ration. Successful turkey
raising, like all other occupations,
comes from putting good common
sense into practice and watching the
details.-Elmer Gimlin, Christian

her to seem to rejoice over the brutal

Days.
Mothers should know exactly what
food to give babies in hot weather
With the broiling hot days in July
and August the mother of baby is
always anxious for the health of her
little one and is then particularly care
full in feeding. Milk sours quickly and
other food is uncertain. Even in spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
in and then the right food is more nee
essary than ever.
Our baby boy two years old began
in August to have attacks of terrible
stomach and bowel trouble. The ply
sician said his digestion was very bad
and that if it had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
Finally we gave baby Grape-Nuts
food, feeding it several times the first
day and the next morning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was a great
change in the condition of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
normal. He is now well and getting
very strong and fleshy, and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life, for he
was very, very i'll baby. Grape-Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
to effect such cures as this.
Eve grown-ups in our family all use
Grape.Nuts and also Postum in place
of coffee with the result that we never
any of us have any coffee ills, but are
well and strong" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason Grape-Nuts food relieves
bowel trouble in babies or adults is
because the starch of the grain is pre-
digested and does not tax the bowels,
nor ferment like white bread, potatoes
and other forms of starchy food.

Raising Pigs by Hand.

From Farmers Review: The trio
of Chester White pigs saved from the
unnatural mother (mentioned in q for
mer issue of the Farmers Review
were given cows milk after forty
eight hours old, and are now at twen-
ty-eight days, as fine a lot of pigs as
any one need wish for. We had no
fresh cows milk, SO gave what We
had. AS it was Jersey milk, it was
given somewhat diluted, and never
cold or tainted the first two weeks.
They were fed often and never quite
all they would have eaten. After sew
en- days we gave little oatmeal mush
and wheat bread crumbs with the
milk. At two weeks cornmeal mush
was gradually substituted, until now
they will eat quite lot of it, and are
given fresh sour milk. They run in
a grassy place in the day; at night
an old hotbed containing their sleep.
ing box is their home.
OF course we did not get up in the
night to feed them after they were
ten days old. For the cracks that
came on their ears and tails, vaseline
and sweet milk were used as oint-
ments. with satisfactory results. We
nave raised several fine calves by
hand, and conclude the main thing is
to never feed young things cold or
tainted milk, and never to give quite
all they want. This of course means
When they are young. 1t is so much
easier to keep them healthy than to
doctor them back to health if they
once get "off" in any way. 1t is, Of
course, necessary to keep them dry
