How Much Seed 70 sow,

The question of the proper amount
OF seed TO SOW is never settled. Two
and one-half bushels OF average oats,
sown broadcast, are not too many on
average land. average seasons; and
about one-half bushel less when
drilled in, is looked upon as about
right by most oat growers.
Many good farmers differ, however,
on this, many thinking a peck will
bring as good or better results. There
are varieties of oats with a very large
berry which would have to be in
creased TO get the same number of
plants to the acre that the very small
berry oats would give. Still, as a
rule, large vigorous seed will pro-
duce large vigorous plant and this
would need more room than a smaller
one. The season and soil make con-
siderable difference, too, with the
amount of seed. Pasturing grain
with sheep or other light stock, tends
to thicken it, also to shorten the straw
and to prevent lodging. though it fire.
Quently adds to the length of time for
ripening. When there is danger of
oats lodging, thick seeding tends to
prevent it.

Switzerland has an unusual way CT
managing her divorce cases. In every
town there is a sort OF official paDer
known as the Teuille de'Avis, in which
one may read daily announcements like
this:
Monsieur and Madame X, who are
in instance OF divorce. are requested to
appear privately before the judge, alone
or with their lawyers, in order 10 come
TO a reconciliation if possible"
Before the beginning of every di
vorce case in Switzerland this notice IS
published and sent out to the parties
concerned, leaving them free to attend
before the judge or not, as they wish

sometimes it is the other way, and very
often the couple meet.
Although there are no statistics pub

in Geneva whose speciality is divorce
cases said recently that at least 80 De.
cent of these cases are settled by the
advice of the judge at meetings out OF
court In fact, Swiss lawyers will moi
definitely take up divorce case until
it has passed through the reconcilia

Hints About the House.

To remove tea stains lay the fabric
over a bowl and pour boiling water
through it.
A fiat file is one of the best things
on which to sharpen bread, meat and
cEopping knives.
When vegetables with roots become
soft and withered, slice off one end
and lay in water for few hours.
If pan smells of onions boil it out
with tea leaves: this will make it per-
fectly clean and sweet smelling again.
If mixed with milk instead of water
mustard will not get dry, but will
keep nice and fresh until it is all used
up.
A little vinegar put in the water in
which eggs are poached will keep them
whole and prevent them from spread
ing.
To prevent starched articles stick
ing to the iron add pinch of salt anG
little lump of lard to the boiled
starch.
ing the blades in paraffin oil and then
rubbing them with finely powdered
ashes
A good way to tell when ham is
fried enough is by the fat. When the
fat is brown (not burnt) the ham is
done.
Burning oil is spread by water. TIC
extinguish it throw down flour, sand
or earth. The idea is to prevent the
oils spreading.
When ironing colored garments
avoid very hot iron, as too great heat
tends to fade the colors. Iron on the
wrong side whenever possible.
Serubbing brushes should always be
hung up when not in use, so that the
bristles have chance of drying. They
will last far longer if treated in this
way.
To put starched curtains on the rod
without tearing, first run a lead pen
ell through the hem, inserting the rub
Der end; that opens the hem easily
and quickly.
When the mincing machine needs
oiling use a drop of glycerine. This
will prevent any risk of disagreeable
taste or smell, and will make the ma
chine work easily
If new enamel saucepans are placed
in pan of warm water, allowed tc
come to the boil, and then cool, they
will be found to last much longer be-
fore either cracking or burning.
Iron handkerchiefs in the middle
first and the edges can then be ironed
more easily. If the edges be ironed
first the middle will swell out, and the
handkerchief cannot be folded in a
good shape.
When you get through using your
wringer take piece of cloth and wet
with Kerosene, and rub the rolls we'll
with it. They will come just as clean
and white as when new. Repeat every
week after washing.

4 New Din for Cattle.

The Oklahoma State Board of Agri-
culture has adopted a new dipping So
luton for cattle. The crude oil meth
cd has been abandoned on account of
its often injurious effect on steers.
All cattle shipped in from Texas must
be dipped in order to keep out Texas
fever by killing the ticks, which carry
the disease. The new dip is an arsen-
zeal solution, much cheaper than the
crude oil, just as effective and less in
furious II is made by boiling 10
pounds of commercial arsenic, "a
pounds of sal soda and 1 gallon of
pine tar in 40 gallons of water 1t is
then increased to so gallons by adding
water, and this solution is enough for
45O gallons of water when mixed with
it, The cost is about cent gallon,
or about 20 cents per steer in dipping.
The only danger from the use of this
dip is that a steer might accidentally
swallow some OF the solution, a quart
of which would cause death.
