TIME FOR HARVESTING OATS
Crop Should Be Cut When Grain 10
Still In the Dough state-Haul
In Before Heavy Rain.

Oats should be cut when the grain
is In the dough stage. II cut when the
grain Is in the milk the grain will be
light in weight, and II cut when full
ripe there will be loss Of grain in
handling, says q writer in the Bald-
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 a 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 II Is almost impossible
to dry the bundles If the straw is
once thoroughly wet. II Is hard task
to take down the shocks, open out the
bundles and spread out the sheaves to
dry. Owing to the soft straw and
char 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 sheaves are hauled in the
field should be raked. These rakings
cut fine and mixed with a little mill
iced 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; 1t also prevents the soil from
crusting over.

GRASS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Great Problem Of Maintaining FsrtllI.
~ Of Soil for Future Crops
Solved In One Way.
CBy W. R. GARpNER.l

in attempting to farm without
grasses the farmer is lifting without
a lever; he is pulling a load with the
weight on the hind wheels; he is cut
ting with q dull ak.
With grass as basis grains, fruits.
vegetables and meat, all the triumphs
Of farming are possible. The first
thing that ! would advise all those
who contemplate buying farm to
look into, would be its capacity to
grow clover and other nutritious
grasses and learn what means would
be available for fertilizing such mead
ows.
The grass can be converted into
milk and products into beef, pork or
mutton and returned to the land In
the form Of manure for the grain crops
or you may sell the hay by the ton
according to the facts Of your particu-
lar locality.
would not advise any one to think
Of buying a farm that did not have
at least 20 acres Of grass land that
would produce at least two tons Of
hay per acre under favorable condi-
tons.
The greatest thrift and profit made
by farmers off their farms in ten Of
the leading agricultural states that l
have visited during the past two
years have been made by those who
make dairying and the growing Of live
stock their chief reliance.
The great question Of keeping up
the fertility of the soil for future
crops can be solved in only one way
and that is by the growing of more
clovers and grasses and feeding more
live stock and returning all Of the
manure thus made to the fields.

STORE POTATOES IN WINTER
Kansas Man Gives His Method Of Pre-
pairing and Keeping Tubers
During Cold Weather.
cBy b. F. MILLER. Kansas.)

Wy n. shAA<LA1ANt ANaHSoosJ
My way of keeping potatoes during
the winter is to select high piece Of
ground that will drain itself well, then
I put q lot of hay on the ground and
put the potatoes on the hay, piling
them up nicely. then cover with hay
or straw as thick as think best, then
nut a light layer Of dirt on the hay,
and as the season gets colder, put on
more dirt. To keep potatoes in the
spring for summer use, put them In a
dark room and give them plenty Of
air. sprinkling some air-slacked lime
over them. Also keep all sprouts of
Of them, and you will have potatoes
until you can raise new ones.
