LIGHT OATS FOR SEED.

A correspondent writes me that his
gram dealer advises the sowing Of
light seed, but he bases his
ton that they will grow on the vol
unteer growth of seed in the chaff piles
and the growth over the fields where
these oats were harvested. There is
no contention that light oats, those
having a shfiyeled berry. will not grow,
but whether thew have the vi,or to
produce a good straw and a well filed
head. is another matter. The trouble
with much of ~ light BATS this sea-
son is that the glumes are not filed
at all and Of course there is nothing

pounds per hushel in the two lots.
The heavy seed weighed thirty-seyen
pounds per bushel. while The light
seed weighed only twenty-one pounds.
There was a difference of ten bushels
per acre in the yield. 1t should be borne
IN mind that these oats were well filed
and the iightest seed was made up
of the smaller berries and shrunken
berries. But we have a different con-

pAIRYING WITH BRAINS

The splendid work done now by tbosa
dairymen who are making none from
the business is the result OF exacr
knowledge OF the details of the bust
ness. Chance success has given away
to exact methods. which has made good
work and profitable results possible.
Many rushed into dairying without
Knowing one OF the essentials which
counted for success, with the result
that they learned by costly experience.
or course there are some who never
profit from any experience and they go
laundering along yea after year, un-
til they are finally driven from the
work. Among the first things TO learn
in datrying is that the cow Is orr plant
for converting food into milk. and the
more thoroughly that plant is equipped
for long n STEADY service the surer
and better will be our output. An
other thing, the quality of milk OBJ
tanned, or the per cent. of butter fat
depends upon the cow entirely. For
this reason one should always select
which turn rich food into rich
milk. We must get over that old no.
ticn that any COW win produce rich
milk. providing she is given the right
kind OF food. Toe much feed has been
s~auandered or these poor COWS In the
ATTEMPT TO get them to produce re-
suits. Dairying Is real serious bust
ness and the nan who WI not take the
IL study put each detail of the
work had better hire some one to do
his thinking for hin, or else get out OF
:he business. The man and COW IS q
good partnership, providing the one Is .

n DAIRY FARM.

An cid dairyman tells me he does
rot care a rap about dairy conforma-
ton. He takes the milk pail test as
his guide in setting value upon cows
That is all very good, but the man
who sets out TO buy COWS for his dairy
does not always have tha opportunity
of seeing just what they Will do. Ana
If cows are bought after a rev
days milk trial, there is not much GER
tainty about the matter, b. cause cows
are usually sold when they are at their
best. So it is safest to learn all you
can about dairy form. OF course there
are many cows, having so .called dairy
form, that are poor producers, but that
probably is the result OF neglect n
improper feeding. When studying form,
look at both ends of the COW. Select
the COW with clear, boiG eyes. active
and vigorous. in preference to the
quiet, dull and ~listless animal. These
points are as important as great veins
and other points found il the rear END
of the COW.

DRAINAGE.

The agricultural and general papers
of the central west and beyond consider
the subject of irrigation greater thar
that of drainage and where the latter
is considered 1t is mainly in considera-
ton of small areas. 1t Is a fact thar
drainage of extensive swamps may be
one of the greatest of agricultural pos
sibilities Of the United States today
This subject needs only to- be men
toned to any who il a general
reader or at all familiar with the coun-
try and the work that las been accom-
plished in Holland and other European
countries to- open III a wide field for
energetic operations hat will lead to
great business possibilities.
Drainage of wan lands can be ac-
complished for one-fffth the cost

estimates. Land of this sort is very
fertile and much of ii situated in

Holland is below sea level for the most

FARM FACTS.

Did you raise as good crops this year
as conditions of weather would allow ?
Wa there anything left undone thai
was under the control of the man oper-
ating the farm? Ii so then let us each
arrange to see that butter conditions
are produced next season. The farmer
may plant the best seed, on we'll pre-
pared soil, and cultivate according TO
the best methods that conditions will
admit of and yet TAIL to raise Il crop.
