ideas that the episodes dc not even
suggest theatrical trickery.

play with purpose. The motive an
the story are told in these words ut

are social climbers. but wealth IS as
good as goal I wls climber after

his favorite tipple is as follows:
For three pints of water you will
require teacupful and a half Of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps of
sugar and the thin rind and juice Of
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
It, cover with a saucer and let it stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into jug"

which has given best results at the

in which have been sown a few oats.
Rape may be sown as early in the

crop and hence it is well adapted for
swine pasture. The Dwarf Essex is

GOOD POINTS IN

Amount of Grain

By r. B. RUSHINGD


When the bulk of the grain on top
Of the head begins to turn yellow is
the time to make oat hay At that
stage these top grains are in the
dough state, and the remainder is
mostly in the milk. and stalks and
blades are still green.
While as a usual thing stock does
not relish oat hay as much as mixed
timothy or clover, it will always be
found a good substitute.

have made a good deal o. oat hay
and find it fairly good if cut at the
light time and properly handled.
Many farmers allow it to get too ripe
TO make the best hay.
When allowed to almost mature
there will be a greater amount OF
grain. it can be more easily cured, and
there will be less danger from mold
ing. but it will not be cat hay; it will
be oats in the straw.
When handled this way the animals
will eat the grain readily but will only
eat the straw when driven to it by
hunger, and will get but little good out
of It,
Nor should they be cut while toe
green, as in that case it will be very
hard to cure sufficiently, while green
oats cut in the milk makes very good
feed for milk COWS, but the curing is
very difficult owing to the long pc
