SOW GRAIN EARLY.

Early seeding, as a rule. is the best.
Nearly always early sown oats will
yield better than late seeding, and the
hance are it will get ripe before
rust strikes 1T. EARLY seeding is at
tended with a great many hazards,
however. If the seed is covered too
deeply there is danger OF it rotting,
for the low temperature is apt to de-
lay termination, n frequently kills
tho seed. Yet With all these drawbacks
it is worth While to take the risk and
put in oats just as soon as the frost
is out three or four inches, and the
soil is dry enough. O is the time to
clean up the seed and then make things
hum when you get ready to start.
Early seeding will also be beneficial
when clover or grass seed is sown
along with the spring grain crop.

this season, especially when grass or

smaller seeds the finest chance to
grow between the drill rows, under the

We found that his fortune had been

or less conversant With the affair, and
wished him success and happiness.
So a week or ten days passed. The
utmose ~endeavors of newspapers and

tragedy, and for the great public 1t
had passed into the background of the

one point occurred to me which would
tend to prove it untrue. If there was
an illegitimate daughter. the blow she
had dealt her father had also deprived
her of whatever income he had allowed
her, or of any hope of income from him.
So she had acted in her own despite
still. Godfrey's theory of sudden pas
sion. might explain this away. And
then again, Miss Holiday could prob
ably be counted upon, her first grief
past, to provide suitably for her sister.
Granting this. the theory seemed to me
quite impregnable.

USING TOO MUCH DAT SEED.

A farmer writes me that he has been

oats per acre, still he does not get u

every year. He says he has about con-
cluded to give up growing oats. and
asks whether / can help him out. In
the first place, there is 40 sense in SOW
ing three to four bushels of seed per
acre. Assuming that the seed is good.
either it is not all covered, or it is COW
cred so deep that it rots. The trouble
in this case is in preparing the land.
Now try it this way his season. Pillow
your oats ground shallow, or disc it
thoroughly, and then harrow until you
have a we'll worked Town seed-bed.
Then drill in your seed, using not more
than two bushels of well-cleaned and
w~ell-graded seed per acre. Set the
drills sc that the seed is just nicely COW
cred. Sowing oats in cornstalks and
then c~ultivating or discing them in is
Wasteful of seed, n on account of the

FARM

Professor Dietrich says: The amount
of corn required per 100 pounds of in
crease in live weight will depend very
largely pom the kline of hogs and the
the way they have been previously fed.
If these hogs are to run on clover and
are fed corn from the time they are far
rowed until they go to market one can
figure on five or six pounds OF corn
pend very largely also on the amount
of corn they are fed. The best results
will be obtained if they are fed a linn
tied quantity of corn during the first
five or six months and fed more heavily

DAIRY NOTES..

Dairy conventions are good schools.
practical hints thrown out by men
who work with COWS are sure to hit
some faulty person. 1 heard a speaker
ask, a short time ago. how many in the
audience a trouble with their home
butter-making. Nearly every one owned
up. The speaker then stated that much
of the trouble came from keeping cream
too long before churning, too much
churning and then too much working.
1t requires some skill to determine all
these things. and close attention must
be given to each detail if one expects
to turn out a uniform good product.

Sailing butter properly is not SO easy
as one might imagine. When the salt

NEW RULING GREAT BOON
TO TERRITORY OIL MEN

The recent ruling Of the secretary
of the interior which allows bond OF
sl5, 900 to cover 1900 acres of leases in
the oil and gas field, is a great boon to
oil men. Heretofore they were re-
ouired to make cash bond OF $4,000
for each lease
Under the present ruling, according
to the construction by Commissioner
j. George Wright, when the first lease
is made the oil company or lessons can
make sis, 900 bond and-c0nbinhc 20
secure leases up to 1900 acres, themax-
mum, and the first bond will cover
the entire amount. 1t Is presumed
that former bonds made by oil COM
panies can be withdrawn, and leases
all filed under the new ruling.
