TIME FOR HARVESTING OATS
Crop Should Be Cut When Grain Is
Still in the Dough State-Haul
in Before Heavy Rain.

Oats should be cut when the grain
is in the dough stage. . If cut when the
grain Is In the milk the grain will be
light in weight, and if cut when full
ripe there will be a loss Of grain in
handling, says a writer in the Balti-
more American. We endeavor to cut
when the milk is out of the grain.
The crop is cut with self-binder, max
ing small sheaves. Twelve sheaves are
set to shock, and as soon as the
straw is cured and the grain hard and
dry we haul in as quickly as possible
The crop should be hauled in before a
heavy rain, as it Is almost impossible
to dry the bundles if the straw is
once thoroughly wet. 1t Is a hard task
to take down the shocks. open out the
bundles and spread out the sheaves to
dry. Owing to the soft straw and
chaff around the grain the moisture
dries out slowly, even when the
weather is hot and dry Grain and
labor are saved by getting the crop
under cover before showers
After the she2ves are hauled in the
field should be raked. These rakings
cut fine and mixed with little mill
feed make an excellent summer feed
for the horses. AS soon as the oats
are under cover the field should be
cut over with the two-horse sulky cul-
tivator or the steel disk Run the cul-
tivator both ways. This early work
ing brings the wild seeds to the sur
face; it also prevents the soil from
