. MAKING oAT HAY.

In many farming sections where
natural grasses do not abound. and
clover and timothy are not grown
a considerable quantity of oat hay Is
cut for hay. A correspondent living
in North Dakota asks us to tell him
when to cut oats for hay and also to
give its feeding value.
Oats to make the best hay should
be cut while the heads are in the
milky stage. Cure the same as for
hay. A good way to feed oat hay is
to pass it through fodder cutter.
Oat hay has about the same feeding
value as blue grass or timothy and
clover hay. or course If the rust
should strike the oats before time to
cut for hay it will not pay to cut the
crop. In that case 1t would be better
to harvest the crop for grain.

Massachusetts, Experiment station has
made the toad the subject of some study
and publishes the following concern
ing his habits and the perils in which
he lives:
"The toad as a rule feeds continuous
ly throughout the night. consuming in
"a hours an amount of food equal in
bulk to about four times the stomach
capacity.
"A careful examination of the con-
tents of the stomachs of large number
of toads showed that per cent. of its
food was animal matter-worms, in
sects, etc. Eleven per cent. of the toad's
food is composed of insects and spiders
beneficial or indirectly helpful to man;
so per cent. of insects and other animals
directly injurious to cultivated crops
or in other ways obnoxious to man. 1t
is estimated that single toad destroys
in a year insects which. If they had
lived. might have damaged crops to the
extent of about 500

HELPS IN HAY MAKING.

All Will admit that the ideal place
for keeping good well-cured hay is in
a hay barn. But often it is impossible
to provide such barns owing to large
amount of hay and to the expense at
tending the construction of such a
building. Much hay and even forage for
feeding next winter will be stacked out
CT doors this summer. Hay keeps bet
ter with a smaller per cent. of waste in
large stacks than in small ones. This
applies with equal force to forage crops,
such as cornstalks. sorghum, kafir, corn,
etc. Therefore, an investment in a
stack cover will pay.
These covers make 1t possible to
leave the stock open for several days
and can be made to fit any size stack at
q small cost. Where alfalfa is cut it
cften requires several days to cure the
Ray and perchance. rain follows the
cutting much damage results.

MANURE OR CLOVER, OR BOTH.

A correspondent writes: 81 have a
farm close to town. The soil has been
Systematically robbed for years. can
have manure hauled out from town at
80 cents load. If you had the place
would you have the manure hauled out
or would you seed the land down to
timothy and clover?"
We would do both. In a case of that
kind we would buy or hire manure
spreader and give the land about seven
or eight loads of manure per acre Less
would do. We would plow in August
and thoroughly pulverize it, preparing
a fine seed bed, would seed to rye and
timothy early in September, or as soon
as the soil had sufficient moisture.
which it would have If plowed in Au-
gust and thoroughly pulverized even If
the weather was dry. Then we would
drill in the rye, going north and south,
and next spring as soon as the ground
would work we would sow clover and
timothy and harrow them in. This
method we think would go far to insure
not only good crop of rye but good
stand Of timothy and clover If the
timothy and clover were pastured for
two years ne would have nothing to
complain of about the land. if it ever
was good. We do not know of any
poor land in that part of the state.

CRIMSON CLOVER.

A subscriber in southwestern Iowa
writes: What can you tell me about
Crimson Clover as a cover crop? VIII
1t do well in my latitude?"
Crimson Clover is an annual which is
sowed in July or August, and early the
following spring is harvested in time
for late spring crop. 1t does not
thrive well in the corn belt states, as it
winter-klls badly. 1t is grown quite
successfully as cover crop in south
ern Pennsylvania, Delaware and Mary
land, where the winters are not so Sc
we're as IN the central west. 1t grows
quite luxuriantly in the fall and dur
ing the mild weather in the winter
making a dense covering over tie
ground. Where grown, 1t is either cut
for hay, pastured, or turned under for
green manure. 1t has no place as crop
on Iowa farms.

BAaoINa GRAPES.

We enclose part of our grape crop
in paper bags to produce fancy clus-
ters- Paper bags of the size used TO
hold a pound of coffee and the next
size larger are put CT az any time
after grapes are well set until half
grown The lower corners are cut
slightly so that moisture can escape
The top of the bag is gathered
together and fastened around the
stem with string. short wire, or
pinned. The bags protect the fruit
from the birds. The fruit comes out
of the bags beautifully clean and free
from dust and cobwebs. with all the
natural bloom of the grape undis-
turbed by moisture and with every
grape perfect and free from disease.
The spores of fungus disease floating
in the air cannot reach the fruit when
it is thus covered. Bagged grapes
ripen more evenly. receiving the hsat
of the sun slightly tempered by the
paper, and are not sunscalded. They
show more perfect color than when
ripened naturally.

WEEDS.

In a little work by Prof Shaw, of
the Minnesota Experiment station,
weeds, and How to Eradicate
Them he says: "In good farming
weeds should not be tolerated at all.
because "a they rob the useful plants
that are cultivated of their due share
of nutriment; (2) they also injure
them by crowding them and shading
them; (3) they greatly add to the la
Dor of cleaning grain for market and
for seed; they are usually not of much
value for food and (5) they frequent
ly interfere with a regular rotation"
To which may be added that the long
er they are left to grow unchecked,
the greater is the work required to
completely subdue them. Weeds feed
upon precisely the same kind of food
as the useful plants amid which they
grow, and they are nearly always
much more capable of gathering food
from the soil. When found growing
in a crop, therefore, they deprive
either that crop, or the crops that
rome after that one, of precisely that
amount of sustenance which they con-
sumo during the period of their
growth. The quantity of plant food,
therefore, which weeds take from the
crops and the soil will be In propor-
tion to the numbers in which they are
found. Nor should it be forgotten
that plant food externally applied,
oftentimes at much cost. as in the
case of commercial fertilizers, will be
utilized by weeds quite as readily as
the plant food naturally available in
the soil itself

CHARCOAL AS A REMEDY.

AS the hot weather approaches poul-
try are as liable to diseases of the
bowels as are human beings. A change
of diet is good; as also is charcoal.
Cl AIRED wood from the stove, says
someone, is an excellent aid in arrest
inE such troubles.
Where the hens have not had a va
riety, parched grain partly burnt af-
fords a desirable change, and serves
nearly the same purpose as charcoal.
Oats, corn. wheat or even bran will be
readily eaten by hens when they have
been regularly fed on a sameness of
die, and such food will greatly aid in
arr esting diarrhoea or other bowel dis
orders.
In experiments made to determine
any, four turkeys were confined in
pen and fed on meal, boiled potatoes
and oats. and four others of the same
brood were at the same time confined
in another pen and fed daily on the
same articles. but with one pint of fine
ly-pulverized charcoal mixed with their
food. These had also a. plentiful sup
ply of broken charcoal in their pen The
eight were killed, and there was a diff
ference of one and one-half pounds in
favor of those supplied with charcoal
They were the fattest, and the meat
was superior in point of tenderness and
flavor

THE LIVING ROOT.

The living root itself has the power
of disintegrating and decomposing the
particles of soil and of dissolving and
extracting some of the plant food. This
powerful action. by which the solid
rock is broken down and its plant food
liberated and by which even polished
marble can be corroded, goes on only
in the presence of moisture Supply
the plant with moisture and its roots
are able to set free from the particles
of the soil part of the mineral ele-
ments required for IT'S growth. Supply
even our sandy desert plains with abun-
dant moisture and Immediately they
change from desert to garden.

LAYING BY THE CORN.

The fullness of next winters crib
depends largely upon how corn is laid
by, and when. Don't plow deep.
That should have been done, If at all,
earlier. Don't hill up to give the wind
and sun a chance to dry out the soil.
Don't quit too soon. Keep stirring the
top soil until the corn is big enough
to shade the ground, and don't leave
weeds, big weeds. at all events. but
try to give the corn a chance to do
its best.

frequently made of choosing too few
varieties for this orchard. The COM

varieties. but the opposite is the case
in the family orchard. 1t is best to
select well-known varieties. of which
there are enough to satisfy any cpl

.EsIDENT's SECRETARY HAS HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL

One of the most trying positions in the gov
ernment is that of secretary to the president.
II the chief executive happens to incur the crit
icism of underlings of congressman, his
retary has to bear the brunt of this unpopularity.
He is the buffer between the president and the
outside world. 1t requires infinite tact for
man in this position to deal with the hundreds
of visitors that desire to the president every
day and sift the worthy from the unworthy the
good from the bad. protect the president from
nuisances and bores and at the time keep
the people good natured. 1t is simply impossible
to prevent friction, but the loyal secretary
to the president must encounter the heaviest OF
burdens and carry them with a smile

tary to the president Mr.. William Loeb, who

Few people know the responslbItIes OF
secretary of the president. The public has no

work the secretary is assisted by the uniformed
police and the plain clothes secret service men
who are to be found in the chamber at the

Greatest Criticism Of President Is
Heard in Wast,ington-City Full
of Grun1bIerS.

WASHINGTON.-The good old Biblical say
ing that "a prophet is not without honor save in
his own country" might be paraphrased into "a
president is not unpopular, save in Washington
1t is the fate of every chief executive to be crit
icised and to become unpopular In the capital
city. None in recent years has escaped this fate.
Even the sainted Mckinley had his critics here
at the seat of the government. and his popularity
much greater beyong the confines of the
District of Columbia than within them. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is simply on the same plane with
his predecessors. and there are few places In the
country where less enthusiasm is shown over
him than right here among the people who see
him and know of him every day
1t Is perfectly natural that the greatest crit
icism of president should be in Washington.

The plan of the rich city people buy
ing up the abandoned farms OF Name
and some that are not abandoned, now
assuming considerable proportions, IS
matter that may be taken up later by
the AGRICULTURAL department. There has
been a tendency OF recent years to pur-
chase farms and fit them up for sum-
nler playground, leaving them vacant
EXCEPT for a few months in summer. In
some cases the farms, after being pur-
chased by some rich person, have been
carried on more extensively than be-
fore. But many of them are only occu-
pied in the light of summer cottages
and no attempt has been made to carry
them on or render the soil productive
If the movement of simply occupying
them in an idle manner continues TO

it will be a good thing for the agrlcul-

will not materially reduce the total out
