 The land should be prepared by blow ing disking, and narrowing, so that a lose mellow seed bed is produced.
 The seed should be thoroughly cleaned and graded and only the largest ana heaviest grains sown. Tt should be treat ed for smut with solution of fornaiih'
 Early seeding is advisable to secure strong growth of both root and top in the fall When the seed is drilled the sow ing of two to three bushels to the acre of the red rustproof or one and one half to two bushels of the winter turf is rec commended Heavier seeding is necessary when the seed Is sown broadcast. Sow ing with the ordinary grain drill or the specially devised open furrow drill is to be preferred to broadcast seeding. Winter grain that is injured by heaving may sometimes be saved by rolling as soon as possible after the injury occurs Pasturing usually reduces the yield of grain Fields which have been pasturcd may be benefited by narrowing A small portion of the field should be reserved each year for seeding to sprini; variety If the fall sown crop winter kills. the large portion should be sown to the spring variety and the small one to the winter variety. in order to secure seed for sowing the following fall. Rotation of crops. cleaning the seed. and narrowing are advised as methods of keep ing down weeds.
 Oats are usually cut with grain binder or with a mower They should be care fully shocked or cooked to prevent wealth erning. The grain should be thrashed when thoroughly dry and stored in tight bias If oats are grown for hay, the crop should be cut before the straw becomes hard, and cured with as little exposure to the weather as possible.
 Yields of from 30 to 60 bushels to the acre are not uncommon on good. lands, while more than 100 bushels to the acr. have been produced.
 Thorough cleaning of the seed each year will improve, tho yield and quality of hs crop. It may be further increased by the ! selection and testing of individual strains.
