Last week the report was 81 dry
counties in Missouri-one-half OF
them decent. This week the drys
have been increased to 81, four more
than half, Barton, Grundy, Clinton
and Cass counties, having voted on
the 18th and 18th, and all going dry
by good majorities. Lamar went dry
on the 18th. A local option election
has been started in Brookfeld. The

feeling lonesome, if this thing keeps
up, and let us hope and pray for its
continuance.

substitutes for Hay.

During the year farmers should not
overlook the matter Of growing those
well-known substitutes for hay that
mature quickly and yield well. such as
oats. fodder corn. millet and even peas.
III mentioning oats it is not intended
to suggcs- the sowing of the seed for
the purpose of securing a yield OF
grass, but to cut the csop only when is
is in the milky state. or Just previous
to ripenng. OF course, some farmers
object to what they regard rs meth
cd that entails the loss of the grain,
but on fertile farms there will gener-
ally be fair crop of hay. while on
light soils the farmer must resort 10
such substitutes as will give the best
results. Oats. if cut just before the
time Of ripening. yield crop of straw
icll in nutritious matter, being tender,
keeping green and which will be rel
lshed by rhe cattle and horses. Tho
mode OF feeding is TO take the bun
dies Of oats Cor sheafs) and pass them
through n cutter. chopping straw and
herds together. the whole being 4 mass
of immature grain and straw. A small
quantity OF ground grain is added to
the cut oats and fed to the stock The
| advantage of thus harvesting and pre-
pairing oats is that the whole Of the
straw can be utilized. while the time
required for growth Is shortened. Even
on rich, heavy lands this mode OF har
Fcst'ne IS good one where difficulty
through the crop lodging is annually
encountered

The Department of Agriculture for
some time has been making expert
meLts in feeding prickly pear TO stock
In Texas In some parts of the South
west forage for stock is scarce. and
cactus Is abundant. The cactus makes
good green feed for cattle. but the
spines have been an obstacle to its use.
In the departments experiments the
prickly pear was singed on the range
ans then collected and chopped, so as
to break up the spines. After it was
treated in this way cattle readily ate it
without injury. Although low in nutri-
tive value, it forms an excellent sue
culent feed. When used in experiments
with bot1 dairy COWS and beef steers
the pear gave good results in connec-
ton with other feeds, and the cost
was slight The utilization of cactus
as stock feed will be Of great advantage
In the Southwest.
