Oats make an excellent food for the
poultry, providing they are of the right
kind. The long, slim oat, with plenty
of husk or hull is poor feed for any
thing, but the plump, meaty oat is a
good feed for all stock, including poul-
try.
Hulled oats for young chickens after
they are three or four weeks old will
help them to make bone and muscle
faster than any other one feed, and
this is the most desirable element at
this period of growth.
For grown or feeding fowls we have
at most seasons of the year fed one
feed of oats daily with most satisfac.
tory results. We have fed some oats
after boiling them for fall and winter
feeding, but they were of poor quality
and the boiling was to soften the hulls
rather than because the boiling added
any other value to the oats feed itself
Boiling is not necessary with good
oats except by way Of variety in feed,
ing. The best way is to feed them In

Horses Increasing in Value.

A table has been compiled from the
statistics of the Census Bureau and
the Department of Agriculture, which
shows that the rise in the market
value of horses has been out OF all
proportion In the last fifteen years to
the increase in their number in the
United States. From 1893 to 1908 the
horse population so to speak, IN
creased 3,785,000, or 20 per cent. In
the same period the gain in the mum
ber of human inhabitants was 21.979,
900, or 33 per cent. But the increase
in the value Of the horses in this coun
try was no less than $S75, 100000. OF
88 per cent.
These facts will astonish many per
sons who have supposed that the
growth of the automobile interest has
been very adverse to the horse breed
ers and to the market demand fol
horses. On the contrary, the prices
obtained for good horses, especially
for heavy draft animals of blood ant
stamina, have risen far beyond tht
hopes of horse dealers few years
ago. Horses are worth about 30 pei
cent more in proportion to their mum
Der than they were in 1898.

To Cure Kicking Cows.

To cure kicking cow Is often diff

some method Of restraining them
from kicking is adopted more loss
than profit may result through split
milk. The person milking also runs
considerable risk of injury in some
form or other.
When the cause of kicking can bt
assigned to vice or an acquired bad
habit, the following little arrangement

On the contrary, they were filled with

MUSICIAN A MASTER OF WIT.
Biography of Edward MacDOweu
Reveals Masters Caustic HumOr.

Biography of Edward Mcdowell
Reveals Masters Caustic Humor.
In biography of Edward MacDow-
ell by Lawrence Gilman, the writer
quotes some of the famous musicians
witticisms. On one occasion he had
been told Of a performance of his
composition, ITO Wild Rose" played
by highschool girl on a high-school
piano at high-school graduation fes-
tivity. Well" Mcdowell remarked,
Il suppose she pulled it up by the
roots!"
Some one sent him, about this time,
relates Mr.. Humiston, a program Of
an organ recital at which this same
wild Rose" was to be played.
He was not pleased with the idea,
thinking doubtless of a style of per-
formance which plays Schumann's
Traumerei' on the great organ dia-
pasons. He remarked simply that 1t
reminded him of hippopotamus wear
Ing clover leaf in his mouth"
A member of one of his classes at
Columbia, finding more unoccupied
space on the page of his book, after
finishing the exercise, filled up the va
cancy with rests. When his book was
returned the page was covered with
corrections-all except these bars Of
rests, which were inclosed in red
line and marked:
