INCORPORATION OF FLAT
RIVER KNOCKED OUT

Judge Killian this week handed
down his decision in the Flat River

OF his opinion is that there was too
much agricultural land within the
corporate limits, which divested the
County Court of jurisdiction to
grant the articles of incorporation,
and that its action is therefore void

Making Money
On the Farm
K.-Oat Growing
By G. Y. GREGORY.
Author of Home Course In Modern
Agriculture"
Copyright 1909. by American Press
Association

AYEXT to wheat, oats are the most
~ widely grown small grain
crop. 1t is a crop that is need
ed on every farm for feed, es-
pecially for young stock and horses.
In the corn belt oats ill in a place in
the rotation that cannot well be taken
by any other crop. The work of seed
ing and harvesting fits in well with the
work Of growing a corn crop; hence
oats are and probably always will be
an important crop in the corn belt
In spite of these reasons for growing
oats they are not usually considered to
be profitable crop. The price is less
than that Of corn and the yield usual
Milford chronicle., 1909-07-16
Harvestinq the crop.

Preparation for harvest should be
made by having the binder in perfect
running order beforehand. If oats are
not cut as soon as ripe they will al
most surely go down and be lost
Great care should be taken in shocking
to see that the bundles stand up firm
ly. If the straw is not too green the
shocks should be capped. as a capped
shock will shed rain better. A shock
that stands up straight and is well
capped will shed a great deal Of rain
without wetting In much. 1t is much
better to stack than to thrash out of
the shock. The oats viii sweat some
where, and they viii be Of better quail
lty If they do It IN the stack instead
Of in the bin. It has been proved many
times over that there is nothing to be
gained by thrashing oats from the
shock Oats that have been permitted
to 60 through the sweating process in
a well protected stack are always Of
better quality than those which have
been hurried into the thrasher.

STRANGE CAPTURE OF SALMON.
Incident Proves That Belief of Some
Fishermen Is Wrong.

Fishing well-known river in Nor
way this June, one of the tenants Of
the fishing lodge opposite ours caught
fish of 20 pounds in the morning and
lost another, his spinning line being
broken by the rush of a heavy fish.
Fishing with prawn the afternoon Of
the same day, the same angler, in the
same pool, got into good fish at his
first cast After long fight the fish
was gated and landed. Then was re-
vealed strange state of things. The
prawn tackle had never touched the
fish; in fact the hooks were a foot or
more from it. They had caught in the
cast which had been lost that morn
ing, and was now twisted into knots
and tangles, no doubt by the salmon
endeavoring to get rid Of the treble
Norsk cast and hooks. The line had
been got rid Of. AS the prawn swung
down the pool 1t had grappled the lost
cast still attached to the salmon, and
fish (33 pounds, cast, and tackle were
recovered. We watched the incident
from the road, and crossing the river
handled the recovered cast. Many
maintain that salmon once hooked and
played for any length of time leave the
pool.-W. H., in London Field.
