failure as far as seed production
is concerned. Some highly Sc

as feterita matured at practically
the same time and will apparent

grain. On slightly poorer ground
however, where dwarf milo,

grown under exactly the same
conditions, the milo and Kafir
burned and failed to produce any

port coming from Chillicothe,
Mention is made of local farmer
who planted this year, dwarf
milo and feterita in alternate
rows. The feterita grew about
eighteen inches taller than the
milo and is we'll headed while the
milo has produced only a few
heads.
Some of the most sensational
claims have come from those
having feterita mature in such
short periods of time. By con-
sulting statements given out by
the dry farm station. you will
find that the time for maturity
during the last five years has
varied from SO to 12O days-a
difference OF twenty-one days.
Milo shows a variation of only
seven days. This greater vari-
alton for feterita indicates ability
to wait for rain, to endure drouth.
Earlier paintings may not mean
early maturity. This year at
the Chillicothe station, paintings
on March 20, April 4 and l6, and
May l, all matured at practically
the same time and were harvest
ed on the same date. On my
own farm, feterita planted May
l, 1912, was in full bloom July 4;
but in 1913, planting on April 26,
did not have stalk in the field
over knee high when the rain
came on June 80, being the same
number of days from planting
which had brought the whole
field to full head in 1912. Fiji
teen days later, however, it was
in full bloom and so was the
dwarf Kaffir alongside of it.
The feterita on my farm in
Washita county, Western Okla
bona, in 1912 lodged badly from
a heavy wind and rain storm COM
ing shortly after maturity. The
Kaffir nearby was not affected at
all. The SCATTERING of feterita
in heading from the field and
hauling to the stack or bin is not
a material loss. But if the crop
is cut and bound some loss will
come from heading the bundles.
especially if you undertake to
head them out of the shock. A
Washita county farmer, who this
year threshed his crop to sell to
a seed house, threshed some
which he had headed from the
field and some by heading from
the shock. He reported yield
of three to five bushels more
where he headed from the field
than where he CUT the heads off
in the shock-the difference due
to shatering. He was troubled
some by the cracking of the
grain, but said where they would
cut the stems to the head about
a foot long the machine did al
most perfect work. In sections
of the southwest where farmers
have the habit of marketing KAT
fir and milo in the head, this
SCATTERING would prove a serious
fault. But for farm use, it need
not amount to anything.
The uneven maturing of heads
makes more danger from heating

Black Pussy Almost Catches a Good

Black Pussy was out very early

for a single thing. Every morning
Farmer Browns boy filed q saucer
with warm freshe;milk for her. and
every day she had all the meat that
was good for hsT; so there wasn't
the least need in stic world for her to
go hunting. Black Pussy was just
like all cats: Lying before the fire
and purring ~contentedly, she. seemed
too good natured and gentle to hurt
any one, and all Farmer Browns
family said that she was. and be-
lieved it They knew nothing about
the empty little nests in the joyful
springtime - empty because Black
Pussy had found them and einptied
father and mother birds.
You see, Farmer Browns folks
really didn't know. Black Pussy. But
the little forest. and meadow, people
did. They knew that Black Pussy
was just. like all cats-ferce and
cruel down inside: and they hated

hunt for a living they wouldn't have
minded so much, but she didn't have
to hunt for a living, and SO they hated
her twice az much.
This particular morning Black
Pussy had chosen to have a look
along the old stonewall on the edge
Of the Old Orchard. Many times she
had hunted Striped Chipmunk there.
She didn't know enough about the
ways Of the little people Of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows to
know that this cold weather had sent
Striped Chipnaunk down into his snug
bedroom under ground for a long
sleep, SO she sneaked along from
stone to stone hoping that she would
surprise him. She had gone half the
length of the old wall, without a
sign of anything to catch when she
