OATS, YETcH AND
CRIMSON CLOVER
Best Stage at Which to Cut Oats,
Vetct. and Crimson Clover for Hay
Progressive Farmer.)

/ have two fields which were sown
last fall, n of them in oats and
crimson clover and the other in oats
and hairy vetch. At what stage
should they be cut to make the best
hay? ] have also another field sown
in oats alone that / wish to NOW for
hay. Some people claim that to make
the best hay the oats should be cut
when they r in the dough, while
others say when they are in the milk
stage. I have been cutting them
heretofore when some of the heads
were turning brown a little, and
most of the oats about in the dough
stage. This appears to give more
feeding value in The grain, but per-
haps not so much in the straw, as
part of the straw, at least, is more
or less hard when cut at that stage"
We are not acquainted with any
direct or definite experimental evil
dence throwing light on these ques-
tions. As to the mixture of oats and
crimson clover, if the crimson clover
constitutes a considerable part of
the growth, we believe we could cut
the mixture for hay, when the ear
lier maturing crop is in best condi-
ton for making hay. This is likely
to be the crimson clover, and will al
most certainly be so if the bats are
the Turf or winter-grazing variety.
In other words, we would rather cut
the oats a little green than to allow
the clover to get o%ver-ripe, for if the
oats are cut green they will be more
palatable, although they may not
contain as much nutriment as when
more mature.
AS to the oat and vetch mixture,
we would cut it when the oats are in
the most desirable stage for hay
making. This brings up the third
question, as to whether oats for hay
should be cut in the dough or milk
stage of the grain? Our inquirer
probably states the Ease as we'll as
it car be done. If the oats are cut
in the milk stage they will be more
palatable, there will be less waste
in feeding and we believe, on the
whole, a more desirable hay will be
obtained. 1t is probably true, how
ever, that oat hay cut when the
grain is in the dough stage will on
tain more nutriment. 1t is certain
that there will be more nutriment in
the grain, but we have some doubt
if the animals will get more out of
the whole plant, considering that if

Ope Of the most dramatic stories

TWO VICTIMS OF GREAT WAR
permanently Crippled Boy and WooIlv
PUP Seem Out of Place in
Ward of Hospital.

The following little cameo of life
IN the British hospital at Furnes an
pears IN a report of Sir Frederick to
the Red Cross society:
In the main ward-a fine halls
a little boy in bed very much too
big for him. He is a refugee from
Ypres, In one of the many attacks
upon the unfortunate place his foot
was smashed by shell, and, as a re-
suit, the leg has had to be amputated
lie is doing well. What has hap
pened to his parents is not known.
He is probably alone in the world. In
a basket on the floor by the child's bed
is another refugee from Ypres-a
puppy of very indefinite breed. lie
was probably thrown by some com
passionate soul into cart which was
lying In haste from the burning
town. He is little more than round
Woolly ball-woolly by reason of his
extreme youth, and round as the re-
suit of persistent overwhelming.
1t is curious picture; the white
washed refectory full of gravely
wounded men, some still groaning
with pain, some nearing death, with,
high upon the wall, a kindly statue
of the Virgin looking down upon the
scene, and, in the center of the room
near the stove, the ridiculous puppy
and the one-legged boy.

LOOK ON THE SUNNY SIDE
cultivation OF Optimism Will Always
Be Found to Pay Big
Dividends.

Optimism is a virtue which every.
one should cultivate. It not only
makes us much happier and brighter,
but also more popular, for everyone
loves to be with an optimist. Even
pesslmlsts are stirred out of their
constant gloom if surrounded for a
time by a number of persons who
persistently look on the sunny side
of life, no matter how dark the out.
look.
After all, optimism or pessimism
is all a frame of mind. Both words
simply describe mental conditions
and, since tl:is is so, why not choose
the one which will make us happy?
Optimism means looking on the
sunny side of life, seeing only the
good in all things. We can easily
cultivate this viewpoint if we will
only try, and it makes such a differ.
ence IN what we see. We can look
at the same persons and see quite
different traits. We also see other
more beautiful things in whatever
direction we look.
Why should we walk through life
looking down at the mud of the
streets when we could be looking ur
at the blue Of the skies? AS one of
the characters in a popular drama
now running says, "The pig spends
his whole time roofing around with
his nose in the dirt, but l never
heard of anyone wanting to be a
,pigp And again the same charac-
ter says, "Why should anyone search
all over the big, blue sky for a cloud
when he can enjoy the sunshine p

GOOD COTTON PRODUCTION.

Two generations" of cotton pro-
duced on the same soil, one bale
having been grown from the seed Of
the first one ginned in the year, is
the record of the Ivey ranch, nea,
Calexico. This ranch produced the
earliest bale to be ginned in the
United States, on June II, 1914
Taking the seed from the record
bale, they planted it on the same
acre and on October Is, 1914, hac
the second bale ginned.

MUST HAVE SACKS.

No country would 60 to war with
out sacks, and the war could not con,
tinue for long if the supply of sacks
gave out. They are as vital a neces-
sity as powder and shot. Since the
war started the government has for
hidden sackmakers to trade with
neutral countries through which
sacks might be sent to the enemy
Sacks are thus contraband of war.
