Horses Must Have Oats.

Oats seem to be the natural grain for
horses and every attempt to substitute
any other grain. in considerable quanti-
ties, always brings trouble for the horse.
There Is too much corn fed on the aver
age farm. as has been said several times
in this department, and while it Is admit
ted that when one grows corn IN abund-
ance it is q most natural thing to use it,
there is no doubt but what all farm ami
mails have more corn than they ought,
and this is particularly true of horses. The
writer urges farmers not to make this
mistake, for they do it at the expense of
the years of the horse, even if serious
trouble does not result Immediately. Sell
corn enough to buy what oats the horse
should have. An occasional feed of corn
meal, bran and Oil meal will not injure
the horse, but the bulk of the grain given
it should be oats.

crn sections, together with the extra early

Turkeys for Profit.

Some time ago it was stated that in the
opinion Of the writer of the item and
other experts, the failure of the turkey
crop last fall was very largely due to the
rather general practice of in~-breeding. 1t
is therefore opportune to warn those who
raise turkeys TO make sure that the tom
turkey is brought from a breeder at some
distance from you so that there will be
no trouble on this score. BY some little
effort one could dispose of their own toms
to breeders who were looking for such
birds for mating purposes, and with the
proceeds buy equally good birds that
We're not related to their hens. There is
money IN turkeys if the breed is kept UP
20 the standard and they can be raised on
a range of good size and kept on that
range so that the eggs can be secured for
Matching. The indications are that the
fall and winter demand for turkeys will
be large.

Millet for Poultry.

A writer on poultry in a recent issue
Of a farm paper, while admitting the
value of millet as q poultry food, says
that most nillets require a light soil.
This IS a mistake, for While it IS true Of
some millets, it is not true Of most Of
them. One CT the best Of millets, the
Hungarian, will grow to perfection on
rather heavy soil, provided 1t is loose and
friable, although it does best on light soil.
The Pearl miuet will also do well on rath-
er heavy soil if it is rich and loose. AS
food for poultry the millets are excellent,
using the seeds to furnish variety in the
grain ration. They can be used by thern-
selves, mixed with wheat or corn meal,
and recent experiments show that they
produce good results when fed with COW
peas ground. The millets that VIII grow
in any section Of the country are among
the best and cheapest crops to raise for
the use of poultry.

Wood Ashes for the Orchard.

On of the difficulties in buying wood
ashes either for use in the orchard or on
tho meadows Is that so much is on the
market that Is far from pure it is not
safe to buy them in large quantities with
out first having an analysis Of their pot
ash contents. If one can be assured Of
their value in that respect it is safe to
go ahead, but eyen then wood ashes are
expensive for orchard fertilizing. An ex-
Cellent fertilizer for the orchard is COM
posed of 800 pounds of fine ground bone.
$50 pounds of muriate of potash, and fifty
pounds of nitrate of soda, using the guam
tity named on an acre. This combines the
essential plant foods in the proper proper
tons needed by the average orchard set
on fairly good soil,
