The experiment stations say oat
hay is ranked as materially better
than timothy, the former containing
4.3 per cent. digestible protein and
AGA per cent carbohydrates, COM
pared with rs per cent. digestible
protein and 4S.4 per cent. digestible
carbohydrates in timothy. Naturally
the greener the condition of the oats
when cut the poorer will be the crop
in digestible food. When cut for hay
the oats should be mown as in other
grass, and treated in similar man
ner. Heavy succulent oats may be
cut in the morning after the dew is
of and then kept stirred to let in the
air SO as to cure out well. With warm
drying weather it may be cooked the
same afternoon, and il opened up
and exposed the next day to bright.
clear sky, possibly may be hauled in
that afternoon. OF course the es-
sential thing is to get in the crop
free of excess moisture so that it will
not mildew in the NOV.
1t will quite likely take three days
to do the entire job. One OF the
commonest faults in feeding horses
is the lack of variety in feed. Con-
sidering the number of different
grains and feed stuffs it does seem
strange that every team owner
should not provide for his animals
ration that would be perfectly accep-
table to its system at all times. 1t
is a fact, however, that no more than
twenty per cent. give what may be
termed a we'll balanced ration. The
other eighty per cent. still cling to
the old ration of corn and hay. or
oats and hay. which practical expert
ments have long since proved to be
expensive and wasteful

ments of nutrition in properly bal
anced portions Corn alone is not
a we'll balanced grain for feeding.
neither is oats or barley. OF the three
grains, oats is probably fed more ex-
tensively than either corn or barley
combined Barley is rapidly gaining
favor as a feed. however, and when
properly combined with the other
grains make an ideal ration. When
you feed a ground ration you prepare
it more readily and there is practi-
cally no waste. 1t should be remem-
bered that the horse digests its food
quickly, and whatever ration you
feed should be prepared with view
to supply the nutrition the horse
needs. Your horses will work bet
ter and keep in better condition on
five or six quarts of ground feed
mixed than they will on eight quarts
of whole grain. Feed variety OF
grains properly balanced and have it
well ground, and you will not only
have better horses. but it will cost
you less money to obtain this much
/ desired result P. Fletcher, in

Improved Fire Escape.

An improvement in fire escapes,
one which will keep cool during ex-
posure TO the heat of burning struc
ture, is shown in the illustration be-
low, the invention of a New York
man. One feature is the construction
of the rung-ladder, which is in the
shape of a "" in the point of which
one end of the rung is secured. The
chains are attached to the
ends. Obviously the rungs of this
fire escape will not come in contact
with the hot wall of the burning
building. assuring safety of descent

Oat HaY For Horses.

Oat hay makes an excellent feed
for horses, from the pure straw point
of view, with the seed threshed out.
Oats furnish the very best coarse GER
cal roughage. Many persons feed
oats in the straw unthreshed. The
horses relish both straw and grain in
this form. In certain sections it is
quite common custom to SOW oats
in the spring. and later when the
crop is well advanced to cut and cure
as hay, the same as one would handle
timothy or other hay crops. In this
case the crop is not quite so mature
as It would b. il treated for thresa-
ing out the grain. If well cured this

Preserving Eggs.

reports to the State Department, "a
new method OF preserving eggs"
The alleged new" metbod isGtp cover

cd may be new in France, but it is
quite old in this country. We re-
member that this method was prac-
ticed more than forty years ago on
the farms in Kentucky. and it was
regarded as quite effective. Fill a
large earthenware crock with eggs
and pour the lard in until all the
eggs are covered. Be careful that
the lard is not too warm. 1t should
be only warm enough to pour con-
veniently and fill in all the spaces
between the eggs.

Confession of Venns.

Long after the visitors hours in
the art gallery the statues engaged in
conversation.
Say, Vene," called Neptune's
daughter, tell us the truth. How did
you lose your arms?"

asked Venus
You don't mean to say that a

The chief interest in the old syna-
gogue is that, according to local ira
lition, in the early days of the Chris
tian Church Paul and Barnabas
preached in it. They had been driven
out of Antioch and reached lconium
footsore and weary. We read in Acts
14:1 that they both went into the
synagogue and preached. and that
many believed their teaching. At
last, however. they were forced to
leave Iconium. In his Epistle to
Timothy QI. Tim. Bid Paul refers
to his prosecutions there.

Importance of Sire.

The Importance of boar in herd
should not be asserted at the expense
of the sows, but his Importance must
not be overlooked. for he represents
fifty per cent. of the breeding power
of the herd. One thing not to be
overlooked, superior boar may be
used with herd of inferior sows
with good results. but an inferior
boar used on herd Of high class
sows will bring disastrous results.

dard Of herd depends upon the boar
used.-Colman' Rural World.

Growing Fence Posts.

When growing catalpa trees for
fence posts the practice of allowing
the tree to grow two or three years
before pruning is not to be recon-
mended, since although long stem
is usually secured it is apt to become
top heavy and easily damaged by the
wind when the foliage is wet. The
better plan is to keep the trees grow
ing straight from the start In cases
of crooked trees. these should be cut
to the ground regardless of their age.
