(By W. NJ. KELLY

(By W. M. KELLY
There is more light and inferior oat
seed plpanted than any other causes a
Of small grain. Poor seed causes a
low yield Of oats every time. The
actual cost Of improved seed is very
low compared with the increased
yields that come from it's use.
By good seed l do not mean ex-
tremely high-priced seed that is ad.
vertised to produce 100 bushels Of oats
to the acre but good plump seed that
will terminate rapidly and get a Wig
orous start early in the spring. We
seldom see a large crop of oats
threshed from a field that makes a
poor start in the spring.
l have found that 1t pays big re-
turns to select one acre of the best
land to grow seed oats on each year
and to keep this crop for seed only
and to buy new seed every two
or three years to plant on this acre
plot.
Under ordinary conditions l believe
that we should change oat seed every
three or four years, for there is no
farm crop that will thrive better when
moved from one locality to another
than oats. or that will deteriorate
faster when grown on the same farm
year after year. OF course proper
seed selection will help to overcome
this tendency, but few farmers take
that precaution.
Closely linked with the good seed
question comes that Of selecting or
planting healthy seed, and l have
found it a good plan to treat all oat
seed with formalin before sowing, to
XIII the smut spores and insure healthy
seed.

lent feed and has often been of great
assistance in bringing hogs through
| spells Of sickness.
There is no disputing the fact that
corn Is an ideal hog feed, but every
practical feeder admits that better re-
suits car be brought about by feeding
a ration that is composed of less than
two-thirds corn. It is a mistake to
think that we cannot afford to buy
other feed to mix with the corn.
Ordinarily it is a mistake not to
feed the hogs the liquid before the
solid food.
Hogs will make from 10 to ~
pounds of meat, live weight, for each
bushel of corn eaten, but because of
this too many farmers feed too much
corn.
The cream separator has greatly re-
duced scours in pigs because the skim
milk can always be fed while sweet.
When the SOW of good type has
proven herself a prolific breeder, an
economical feeder, and a good mother.
1t is a good plan to keep her several
years.
The mature SOW requires only food
for maintenance, while the growing
one needs food for. growth. Further
more the older one will have an appe-
tite for waste that a young one would
not care for.
Exercise will help make that streak
of lean and streak Of fat that is de-
sired.

Origin Of the Potato.

The potato, which was already cul.
tivated in America when the continent
was discovered, is spontaneous In
Chile. 1t was introduced to Europe in
1880 and 1885 by the Spaniards, and
almost at the same time by the Eng.
llsh. who brought it from Virginia,
where 1t had appeared about 1850. The
sweet potato and the Jerusalem arti.
choke are also supposed to come from
America.

May Strike Oil.

W. 81. Styer and A. N. McManis
were in last week from the Hop
kins ranch on Sage creek where
they are drilling for water for the
Hopkins ranch. They are down
$50 feet but have not found enough
water yet to keep the tools wet.
They say that the formation is a
very peculiar one and hard to make
any Roadway in at all. All the
way down the soil and rock have
been very oily and at some places
it has shown more oil than others.
The surface indications and the
surrounding territory have all the
ear marks of an oil country and we
would not be surprised at anytime
to hear that they had struck oil,
although we would hardly expect
it under a depth of less than 1000
feet. They are going TO sink 500
feet (their limit) unless they get
water sooner.
With every indications of being
an oil country, it is too bad that
the Sage creek basin has not long
ago been tested with a standard
rig. This country will only come
out of it's kinks and get on to a sub
stantial bases when local money
opens up such thines-oil, min
eral and hot springs to such an ex-
tent that outside capital will see
the merits and step in with enough
money to do the work in q scale
fitting their proportions.

The Christmas Tree.

The program and Christmas tree
at the Presbyterian church here
Tuesday night was we'll attended
and was a very successful affair in
every way. The program was ex-
cellent and was carried out in a
very nice manner. There were 30
many numbers that to give them
all would take too much space at
this time. A program of this kind
made up principally Of small chill
dren is something that is very hard
to get through without any trouble
or mistakes, but this one went
through without any thing occur
ing except one or two little things
that only went to make it more in
t~eresting than otherwise. The Sun
day school teachers and those that
had the affair in hand deserve great
credit for the performance. At the
close of the program Santa Clause
made his appearance and distribu.

which were much pleased at get

we'll in their plays and the program
OF speaking and singing was very
good. There we're not many turned
out and the receipts we're not as
large as they should have been.

learn whether they succeeded or
not, but as the amount was small
we suppose that they did.

THE GREAT MENACE.
The Result to Small Towns Of People who
Get Main Resources and Hold On

western towns, is suffering what
might be termed a public menace
This, whatever you might call il
is the art of out side capital, get
ting control of the main resource
of a town and holding it up from
development. We have one fea-
ture in Saratoga that is far in ex-
cess what most towns have in the
line of a resource in it's town lin
it's. That u would make
a town of Saratoga Of 5000 inhabi-
tants in three or four years if de-
veloped.
1t has dragged for years and
nothing ever done to even make
it attractive or Of any special bene-
tit other than what it compels its
owners to de- by its own merits.
Whether the owners are too poor
to do anything or whether they
are discriminating against the town
or holding the property at so high
Q price that no n else will con-
slider Its development we don't
know, but we do know that some
thing ought to be done to force
them to action or relinquish the
same, if that could be done. Sara
toga has been more than patient
with this matter but it has come
to a time when we Bee no reason
to longer wait. The people of this
town ought to get together and
pass a set of resolutions to wake
some one up and get an explana-
ton of the enforced delay and
offer to cooperate with these peo-
to bring about some action.
The property should be devel-
pped, and developed now. The
owners ought to come in and make
|some move, or turn it over to the
town to do something with. We
have little doubt but what a buyer
to develope it could be found by
the town if it was taken up by a
body of citizens and the purchaser
assured the help and cooperation
of the city.
Lets do something, and do it
now.
Surely the owners will agree to
a little help in the matter of a
sale or development, unless they
are holding back just to gratisfy
a dream of the future, of big thing
to themselves, without any exer-
ton on their part. If they haven't
the money to finance development
aud do some building they should
be looking to some one to do it
for them and be willing to take a
fair price for their interests.
The columns of this paper are
open to a discussion of this matter
in brief FROM any and all interes-
ted. Lets do something and do
it now.

CALIFORNIA LETTER

Oakland, Calf, Dec. 10, 1915
Editor Sun:
Two things are very distinctive
here on the Constituency and
matches. Their money is gold prin.
cipally and you only get paper
money when you ask for it. When
flashed a bill for change the
cashier said: you're from the
east, arn't your" eyes," 1 replied,
rather from the middle west-but
how did you knowp' "By your
paper money" he said. Gold is
very nice and handy and I am not
right sure but what I would like
it, it 1 only bad enough of it.
The matches are queer little
blocks of wood, called Chinese
watches, finely splintered, glued
together at one end and sulphur
on the other. When you ask a
man for a match and he hands you
a bunch of little pine tooth picks,
you can be sure you are on the
Pacific coast. Outside of the abom-
Unable sulphur and their tiny
size, they are all right. You can
get other kinds of matches, but
not the kind exactly we used at
home.
If a man wants to see the mills
of the gods at their work of grind
ing exceedingly fine" lie can see
the work done 10 perfection here
in San Francisco. There is moth
ing I can compare life here to
which will describe it accurately
except an immens cauldron. It is
as if tho this cauldron received
the grist from the mills, after it
had been ground to powder and
converted 1t into a molten mass.
Every moment marks the disap-
pearance of some poor soul with a
~despairing shrek. 1t is pitiful, it
is intensive and it is interesting as
we'll as heart breaking. Here in
this great city, is where the o.
cident and the Orient meet, and
there is q mighty swirl, a great
commotion, and every heart beat
means the loss of life, of virtue, of
home and friends, of all that makes
life dear and worth the living to
some mortal, Who has ventured
just a little too near the fame.
You get the news-a littls of it
fresh and hot with your morning
paper and you are not sure what
the future has in store for you as
you read the tragedies of the great
city. But you know that no paper
could contain all tragedies, fail
ures and despearing incidents that
have taken place in the seething,
boiling mass of humanity that sur
ges thru the streets and avenues of
a big city like San Francisco. You
know there must remain hundreds
of tragedies that never find their
way into print, and it is we'll, per-
hsps. that they do not, for we have
quite enough of the dark side of
human life as it is. What a pity
it is that we are not able to know
all of the bright and pleasant things
that take place, for they would
cheer and brighten the picture
and make one feel that life was
worth while after all. But one
forgets the pretty things, the de-
lightful things, and the beneficial
things that are going on, because
of the heart-aches he gets from
the sadness of the desperate and
tragaic things that ring in his ears
and blind his eyes with the very
sadness of 1t all. The bay hides
many of life's failures. When the
worst comes to the worst, there is
always the bay a. a last resort, and
it has been the resting place OF
more than a regiment Of men aud
women within a decade, who have
found life's problem to much Tor
them to longer try to solve.
