OAT HAY,

For several years the practice Of
making part of the oat crop into hay
has been coming into use. On farms
where there is large amount of this
grain grown, this method seems to be
preferred to letting the entire crop
ripen, and then having so much straw
to feed or otherwise dispose of.
When the crop is intended. for hay it
is well to SOW little more thickly in
order that the growth of straw may
be finer and of better quality.
The crop should be cut about when
the grain is in the milk, or little
past and while the straw is yet green
and succulent. The process of curing
is about the same as with grass. 1t
may take longer to cure, and can be
put in cock if need be. Secured in
good condition oats make an excellent
feed for cows in milk and young ami
mails.

SELECTING BROOD STOCK.

If one has raised litter of fine pigs
of good breed there are probably sew
eral among ihem that will make good
brood cows if properly brought up.
The individuals should be carefully
watched as they grow, and when the
selection is made the pigs should be
about five months old. From then on
they should be separated from the mar
ket stock, and until the end of the sea-
son placed on the best grass possible.
All females intended for breeding pur-
poses should have less carbonaceous
food than that given to those, intended
for market. From one-halfl to two
thirds corn is enough in the ration
from the time the young sow begins to
eat grain.

the wheat straw may be fed as much
