PAsTURING WHEAT.
Little Injury From Stock In Fall and
Winter.

Little injury FROM Stock IN = all ana
Winter.
The pasturing of wheat is an odd
practice about which opinions of prac-
teal men differ widely. The subject
has been studied during several sea-
sons by the Oklahoma station. In Il
farmers wheatfield number OF piats
were laid out. fenced and provided
with gates. On two of the plats the
gates were closed and locked. and on
the others they were left open
Horses and cattle were turned into
the field in which these plats were sit
uated on Oct. "a. at which time the
wheat furnished considerable feed.
Up to about the middle Of January the
time the weather turned cold and snow
fell and during the greater part Of
February the weather was very cold
and the ground covered with snow al
most all Of the time. During the great.
err part of these two months little
wheat pasturing was available, and
the amount given the field for the sea
son was lighter than usual. The lat
ter part Of February the weather mod
Grated and the snow went off, and by
March the wheat was making nice
start to grow. On this de- March l.
the gates on the fall aud winter" pas
tured plats were closed and no stock
allowed on the plats again. AT this
time the ground was Il little soft on
top, but not in condition to allow the
stock to damage the wheat mate
rally by tramping. and there was
soms difference in the appearance of
the pastured and the not pasturea
plats. the former being covered with
considerably more growth. Heavy
rains fell March II and showers on the
18th On April 13 but little difference
could be seen in the growth on the
fall and winter pastured plats and
the not pastured plats and the
wheat in the field. In all these cases
the growth was very good. 1t is well
to bear in mind here that the pasturing
given the field was lighter than usua!
and at no time was the wheat damaged
by tramping. and. aside from the rust
that attacked the wheat, the conditions
for growth were very favorable
throughout the season, From the
three years trials the indications are
that where wheat is judiciously pas
tured In the fall and winter and the
stock removed in the spring by March
the yield of grain will be little If
any reduced.

His Nejuhbor's Cat,

A Cleveland lawyer tells of man
living in a suburb of that city whose
sleep had been disturbed nightly by
the bowling on his own back fence Of
his neighbours cat At last, in despair.
he consulted his lawyer.
There sits the cat every night on
our fence" explained the unhappy
man, land he yowls and yowls and
yowls. Now, don't want to have any
trouble with this neighbor. but the
thing has gone far enough, and ! want
you to suggest remedy"
The lawyer looked solemn and said
not word.
81 am well within my rights if l
shoot the cat, am | not?" asked the
sufferer.
81 would hardly say that" replied
the legal light. 1.-THE cat does not be-
long to you, as understand it,
mo"
"And the fence does?'
"Yes"
'Then," concluded the lawyer. Il
think it safe to say that you have a
perfect right to tear down the fence"

Utilization of WindfaI!s.

Primarily the economic usefulness of
an apple evaporation is through its
utilization of windfalls and the poorer
grades of fruit which cannot Et. mar
keted to good advantage in Il fresh
state. and it is these grades that are
most often evaporated But the mag
nitude of the crop also influences the
grade of the evaporated product in a
decided way. In seasons of abundant
crops and low prices for fresh fruit
large quantities of apples that would
ordinarily be barreled are evaporated
and the grade Of stock produced is cor
respondingly improved On the other
hand, in years of scanty crops. when
all apples that can possibly be shipped
are in demand at high prices, only the
very poorest fruit is eyaporated. as a
rule, thus lowering the grade of the
output
