Ans.-R. NJ. Dolve, Prof of Rural

No definite answer can be given to
this question as the cost will depend
upon large number of variable fac
tors. The amount and size Of tile to
be used and the depth at which they
are to be laid can be determined only
by the person planning the system.

These results show that there is IT.
tie protein feeding value in the bulls
Of the kernels. In 1906 the variety OF
oats giving the highest percent OF
meat had 1872 per cent; the lowest
gave 61.8 per cent, difference OF 14.S
per cent. While the protein in the
hulls does not represent their total
feeding value by far the most valuable
part is represented by it. This being
the case when oats are selling at
thirty-two cents per bushel there Is .
difference 4 more than four and ono
half cents per bushel In favor OF the
variety having the smaller per cent
Of hulls.
Determinations were also made to
ind the effect of double kernels or
pin kernels upon tho percent. OF hull,
Oats produce two or three flowers in
. spikelet, the upermost one of which
is usually rudimentary. The rudi-
mentary kernel Is sometimes called .
pin kernel. Sixty Day and Tartarian
oats were used for this trial. The
Sixty Day oats have the two kernels
Of very nearly the same size and very
little difference Is found. They are
connected at the base by short pedi'
col. In the case Of the Tartarian oat,
great difference is noted. In this case
the rudimentary kernel is small ana
we'll clasped by the hull Of he large
one. Valuable work can be done In
reducing the effect Of tho pin kernels
and In breeding thin hulled oats.
From the foregoing trials with oats
the following conclusions are drawn:
1. Seasons favorable for variety
Of oats decrease the percent. Of hull.
2. Some varieties Of oats give uni
formfy 4 higher percent. Of meat.
3. No correlation seems to exist
between the weight per bushel and
the percent. Of meat to hulls.
1. As the rudimentary kernels Dc.
crease In size they increase the per
cont. Of hull up to . certain degree.
=. The oat that weighs most Per
bushel is not necessarily the most
valuable.
s. The thickness Of the hull seems
70 be sou0what hereditary.

CAT STEALING SWEEPS LONDON.
Demand for Imitation Furs for Trade
Cause of Many Thefts.

London.-ScOtland yards authori-

letters of complaints about the loss OF
great number of London cats, have
Just discovered a systematic scheme
Of cat stealing is in practice to pro-
vide imitation furs for the trade.
London has about 100000 cats.
Fashion has decreed that women must
wear furs, big muffs and stoles. The
supply of wild furs being scarce, the
furriers have experimental with cat
skin and found that they could work
it into a perfect imitation of many
kinds of fur. Consequently the value
of catskin jumped from nothing to
$1.25. and men and boys all over
England have been trapping stray
cats with great assiduity and profit
Now the turn of the town cat has
come. 1t represents money to anyone
who can decoy it and so a new trade
has developed. the members of which
ride around the suburbs on bicycles
with baskets attached and devote
themselves to cat snatching.

Necassaries Cost More In Germany
Than Anywhere In World.


Berlin.-Germans are now paying
FOR all kinds OF meats, wheat, rye and
several other necessaries of life pri-
ces higher than are paid anywhere
else in the world. Prices are still ris-
ing and the per capita consumption
OF virtually all foodstuffs is falling off.
The numbers OF horses slaughtered
for meat in Berlin during the first six
months OF the present year reached
1924 and exceeded the figures for the
corresponding period of 1911 by L.
463. The Germans at 43,762 tons less
Of beef in the first half Of this year
than in 1910, and paid $S,75O,OOO
more for the smaller quantity.
Dressed swine are bringing more
than IS cents pound at the abattoirs,
and more than half of all the meat
consumed in the empire is pork. Re-
tail butchers have had to pay 22 IL
cents a pound for dressed beef, and
veal is higher Veal outlets bring

In addition to visiting the expert
mental and other plantations, the
delegates will hold conferences with
the department of agriculture at
