these figures, no statistics being avail
able for South America and for a
large part Of both Asia and Africa.
The production of oats in Africa is
small, but in South America and in
some portions of Asia for which no
figures are published it is consider
able. The 1909 crop of the world was
about one-fifth larger than that of any
of the previous four years, reaching
total of 4,295,S65, 900 bushels For
the five years the average European
production of oats was 1888, 005,OO0
bushels, or practically two-thirds of
the crop of the world. Russia, Ger.
many, France, and Austria-Hungary
are the leading European countries
In the production Of oats. North
America produces 1,172, $4,000 bush
els, nearly four-fifth of which were
produced in the United States.
For 1910, the fifth crop in the
United States in point of value is oats
the value Of which is $3S0,000,00 or
R per cent above the average of
the five preceding years. In quantity
the oat crop this year is magnificent.
The crop exceeds 1,000,000,0O0 bush
els, the precise estimate standing at
| 1,096, 396, 900 bushels, or % per cent.
greater than the average of the five
preceding years.
The production of oats is practi-
cally confined to the temperate zones
| The crop does best in cool, moist ell
mates and will not thrive In the warm
er regions unless the water supply Is
ample.
| Good spring oats are seldom pro-
duced in the southern part of the
United States or In southern Europe,
while the northern limit of produc-
ton is near the arctic circle, in Nor
way and Alaska. The crop Is very
generally grown in the central and
northern portions of the north tenn
perate zone.
The greater portion of the oat crop
of the United States is fed on the
farms where it is grown. During the
last ten years only 28.7 per cent. Of
the crop was shipped out of the Sec
ton of the country where it was
grown.
The average annual shipment for
ten years was 246,OOO,O0O bushels. The
smallest proportion of the crop ship
ped out of the country where grown
was of the small crop of 1901, 1876
per cent, and the largest proportion
was the crop OF 1909, 1927 per cent.
The largest shipment of any one crop
was of that of 1909, nearly 390,O00,000
bushels.

The oat crop ranks fifth in value
among the farm crops of the United
States, being exceeded by corn, cot
ton, wheat and hay. 1t is third
among the cereals, being exceeded
only by corn and wheat. The acreage
devoted to oats is slightly larger than
the cotton acreage and is much
smaller than that of the other crops
mentioned. Last years oat crop,
slightly over 1,O00,CO0,0OO bushels,
was about 275.00O,0OO bushels larger
that the wheat crop of that year, but
the value was only $40S,O00,000, as
compared with $730,000,000 for
wheat The corn crop was valued at
$780, 100000, or more than four
times as much as the oat crop. The
farm value of all cereals for last year
was estimated at 0O,000,000, Of
which amount the oat crop repre-
scented about Is per cent
The average production of oats in
the United States for the last ten
years was S69,954000 bushels. pro-
duced on 29,643,OOO acres. The corn
crop for the same period was 2,453,-
100000 bushels, grown on 95,02S, 900
acres, and the wheat crop $500 900
bushels, produced on 46,67S 600
acres.
The five states leading in the pro-
duction OF oats for the ten-year period
were Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Nebraska The diagram
shows the production of the total crop
of the United States grown in each of
the states producing more than TO-
100000 bushels. The 16 states shown
grow nearly 80 per cent of the
total crop. Illinois and Iowa each
produced nearly IA per cent, while
approximately 8, and per cent.
were produced in Wisconsin, Mime.
sofa and Nebraska, respectively. In
acreage devoted to oats Iowa slightly
exceeds Illinois Wisconsin. Mime.
sofa and Nebraska follow in the order
named.
The world production of oats in
bushels is greater than that of either
corn or wheat, but as its weight per
bushel is much less, the total produc.
ton in pounds is smaller than that
feither Of those crops. The average
annual world production of oats for
the past five years was 1884, 702, 900
bushel; of corn, 3,443,169,0OO bushels
and of wheat, 3,336,7S9,000 bushels
The actual world production of all
these crops, particularly of oats and
wheat, is considerably larger than

What devastations of bird life are
being wrought at the dictates of fash
ion are set forth In vivid manner by
an expert who has devoted years of
study to the question. Among orna-
mental feathers assumed for show
during the counting season the
strangely beautiful tail of the lyre-bird
of Australia is unequaled. A few
years ago over four hundred lyre-birds
were killed in one district to supply
the London plumage market. 1t is
not so long ago since some sordid
vandals surrounded a patch Of scrub
in which some representatives of this
fast-disappearing genus were known
to be breeding, and setting fire to it
shot down those avian marvels as
they struggled through one pitiless
ring of fire only to meet their death
in another. The lyrate plumes hav-
ing been cut off, the bodies were
thrown aside to rot. The result of
such ruthless butchery is seen in the
fact that fifty-two tails only were
catalogued for the past years feather
sales in London. The egret has been
practically exterminated in North
America and in China, and is now so
scarce that the best selected plumes
are fetching forty dollars an ounce.

Whew, but my seven gee gees had
let me in for a lot OF trouble. My
late uncle had willed me seven
horses, and they had been delivered
to me secretly by his old trainer,
Murf Higginbottom, at Jersey City.
When | returned to town to meet
Clara ]. and Tacks at the restaurant,
who should butt in but my old friend,
Dixie Lawrence. Dixie was half seas
over and had demanded an apology
for my failing to recognize him in
Jersey City.
Tacks laughed half the way home,
but Clara ]. kept handing me the
verbal ice pitcher.
whats the matter, Peaches? sure
ly you're not angry because the old
original jag builder butted in! Dixie
doesn't mean any harm, believe me;
and besides, l couldn't help i'll

"Oh, Mr.. Lawrence didn't worry
me-" she answered; 81 felt sorry for
him, that's all"
Then why don't you haul in the

Yes but you went to Jersey City
alone, and I've been begging you for
six months to go over there with me
and call on Aunt Debbie Williams"
Clara J. complained,

over there on business-stock bust
ness-and that's no idle dream! The

l really hate I'll take it over to Aunt
Debs and kill It, Well do a society
call that will make her and the parrot
sit up and notice us. Come on, now,
Peaches, let's tear up the divorce
papers and be good friends again."

the storm was over.
Bright and early next morning
Uncle Peter was down on our porch

dead!-a very sad case. The news
only reached me yesterday, but | kept
it from you and l bore up and was
cheerful just for your sake, Peaches"
She didn't know just how to size
me up.
And now Murf is here" started
again, "Murf was my Uncle Owens
care for years. | wonder if Murf is
still afflicted Did Murf say that he
was on here with string of horses ?"
'He did" she said, stonily.
Poor old Murf! A string of seven
horses for me?"
"A string of seven horses for you,
yes!"
TOO bad; l was so in hopes Murf
was better. Did he say that Uncle
Owen considered me big Casino on
the Eastern tracks,"
His very words" Clara ]. said.
Isn't it pitiful to think Murf is no
better" l went on; but he's per-
fectly harmless"
Harmless" she repeated.
Perfectly So" answered. He's
been that way for years. When quite
a young man thoroughbred horse
belonging to my Uncle Owen kicked
Murf on the head and ever since that
day the poor fellow Is always arriving
in the East with a string Of seven
horses for the big Casino on the East
ern tracks He's what we call colt
crazy in medical circles, AS soon as
| meet him he'll tell me the horses are
we'll see if he doesn't"
Clara J. began to walk slowly up
to the straight goods counter and |
felt that a catastrophe had been
averted.
Lets go and see Murf!" / sug.
gested, but let me handle him. So
long as | don't deny what he says
about horses you'll find him the quiet
boy with the gentle gaze; and If he
does insist that I'm horse owner,
give him the belief smile and pass it
up"
On the veranda Murf and Uncle
Peter were conversing earnestly, but
directly we appeared Murf arose and
said, "Yo' colts are doing fuss class,

down and look them ovah, sub!

John" she said, I've been talk
ing for some little time with a pecu-
liar-looking stranger who came to see
you"
Yes" said; what's the answer"
From what he says | am led to
believe that you are deceiving me"
she came back at me, coldly and
cuttingly.
'Deceiving you!" repeated.
About horse racing" she added,
with falling barometer and increasing
cloudiness, winds shifting to north
east, probably snow.
THE mans name is Murf Higgin-
bottom" she said, quietly looking
me straight in the eye.
"Murf Higginbottom!" I echoed
slowly, while | got good grip and
pulled myself together.
Yes, Murf Higginbottom! she
said, questioningly.
Dear old Murf," ] murmured; 80
he did get out to see us after all. Bless
his kind heart, how does he look?"
81 presume he looks as he usually
does; you ought to know" she an
swered, haughtily.
"All the way from Kentucky to see
me-" | went on as though thinking
aloud. HE was my Uncle Owens
best friend-Uncle Owen Henry, of
Lexington, Kentucky
Clara j. watched me narrowly.
Poor Uncle Owen is dead" | said,
with a sob.
Uncle Owen is dead" Clara ].

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

81 have suffered from the same trou-
BILE painful finger nails) at different
periods of my life. The first time of
it's occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, l asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The infamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that | had to use
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations resulted In the
loss of the nail. / had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years slater I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again tried various remedies, among
them prescription from doctor Of
a friend of mine, Who had suffered
from like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that l could not use it.
l began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. l had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. l did not use
the Soap exclusively, but rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as l could. had not
used 1t but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor infam-
nation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that | used in effecting
cure" (Signed) Mrs. l. ]. Horton,
Katonah, N. Y, Apr. 10, 1910. On
Sept 81, Mrs. Horton wrote: Il have
had no further return of the trouble

INCREASE in
CORN CROP
Manure Spread After Planting
Shows Big Improvement Over
Land Treated in Winter
Snothers Weeds.
CRy B. COYERDELLN

A great many farmers argue that
winter in order to be of any benefit
to the ground the following season.
Our experience disproves this argu-
ment and goes still a step further,
proving that manure spread even in
the late spring will greatly improve
the crop that season.
Last spring after our corn had been
planted straw manure and refuse from
the feed lots were hauled out and
spread over the corn field. Partly as
An experiment we chose a little slope
where the ground was thin and gravel
ly.
When the corn came up 1t soon took
on a deeper and healthier hue where
the manure had been spread and the
growth of the plant was more rapidly
prompted than in other portions of the
field
Also, this particular spot was almost
entirely free from weed pests of any
kind during the whole season, the
manure forming sort of mulch which
smothered out the weeds.
These favorable conditions were
maintained till corn-gathefing, when
there was marked difference in the
yield of corn in certain portion Of
the field, the difference being several
bushels more per acre In favor Of the
ground on which the manure was
spread after planting

only give her a demonstration of his
bravery he knew that he would have
little justification in proposing to
her. At length brilliant idea occurred
