Work Is Important.

Oats make most of their growth
when the soil Ia cool and moist; sow
Just as soon as the ground is dry
enough to work.
The field should be plowed late in
the fall and in the spring all that will
be needed is two good workings with
the spring-tooth harrow to fit the
land for seeding. Sow only clean,
heavy seed; light, choppy seed is
worthless. Trust no lightweight seed;
buy northern-grown seed, even II it
should cost two dollars per bushel.
It has been our custom for some
years to buy Canadian or Maine
grown oats every second year for SOW
ing, says writer in Baltimore Ameri-
can. These oats will weigh SO to 40
pounds to the bushel, and, having
strong vitality, when sown early on
good, mellow, we'll prepared land, so
to 70 bushels of oats and one and
one-half tons of bright straw may be
grown to the acre. The straw will
pay for the fertilizer used. Drill two
bushels of oats and 300 pounds of a
complete animal bone fertilizer to the
acre.
A complete fertilizer should always
be drilled in with the seed; the crop
will ripen early, the straw being stout
and stiff will stand firm and the grain
will ripen evenly and will be free
from smut head. AS soon as the
ground is dry enough to crumble, start
the harrow and follow with the drill

Now, Then, Teacher.

Drowsy and warm was the afternoon
and the attention tagged considerably
in the classroom.
Grammar seemed such a dry old
thing after the splendid battle that
the boys had reveled in on the play

through these happy meditations, and
the small lads pulled themselves to-
gether as best they we're able.

of which are now on exhibition at the

aroused much curiosity. When

shown to be a black. finty substance.

less than half an inch thick, while
some of the smaller ones. a foot or

strength may be gained from the
knowledge that they were transport

reaching the museum, and only few
Of them were broken, though all were

that knew nothing of packing break

The Indians who made these wonder

BRONZE GRASS MADE
GOOD FORAGE CROP
Seed Analyst at Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station Makes a
Valuable Discovery.

Robert C. Dahlberg, seed analyst at
the agricultural experiment station
University of Minnesota, has solved
an agricultural problem of great inn
portance to farmers.
Bronze grass is valuable forage in
Minnesota, but on account of the fact
that with bronze grass seed was often
found quack grass seed, and other
seeds of very similar nature which
could not be distinguished from quack
grass seed, farmers quite generally
ceased to plant bronze grass.
Mr.. Dahlberg's discovery makes 1t
possible to distinguish quack grass
from kindred grass seeds less harmful.
Consequently bronze grass seed may
be tested at the Minnesota seed lab.
cratory, university farm, st. Paul,
without danger of its being condemned
for appearing to contain quack grass
seed, when in reality 1t may have q
mixture of harmless kindred seeds
only, such as western wheat grass and
slender wheat grass.
Mr.. Dahlberg's. Identification of the
seeds Of quack grass, western wheat
grass and slender wheat grass wal
originally published by the Journal o.
Agricultural Research, and has nov
been reprinted in separate form. The
reprint is valuable to scientists, bu
the publication of the treatise has
value to the farmer because it will
serve as q guide to seed Laboratories
in testing bronze grass seed and pre-
vent the possibility OF condemninl
such seed because OF the possible
preeenCs of .qnack grasa when the see,
may contain only western whea
grass or slender wheat grass.

CALIFORNIA HOUSES ARE
NOT BUILT FOR HEAT
VIII Schreiner Says That j. S. Wright
Wears a Blanket,
Sometimes.

Mr.. and Mrs. Will Schreiner,
Bloomington, have lately returned
from Southern California, where they
put in the most of the winter. They
were present at several of the Wiscon-
sin gatherings and in recent letter
from Mrs. G. c. MARROW. that was
printed in The Herald, the Schreiners
were twice mentioned. On their re-
turn to Bloomington, Mr.. Schreiner
told some secrets to the publisher of
the Record, and the following item
was printed:
Will Schreiner says that winter
in California is far from being as
warm as many folks imagine it to be.
The days are very pleasant, but at
night person needs heavy wraps
when going out of doors and pretty
good fire in the house Will tells
an amusing tale regarding j. S.
("Papa') Wright of Lancaster, who
also wintered in California, that the
latter's many friends in this section
will appreciate. Will called on Mr..
Wright one rather chilly evening and
found ''Papa" with heavy blanket
around him and literally hugging a
small stove, which he kept filled with
wood from a small sack nearby.
Papa" WASH t particularly fond of
California weather at just that
moment. Mr.. Schreiner says he
really suffered as much from cold IN
California, especially at night, as he
ever did in Wisconsin. the principal
reason, of course, being lack of
preparation poorly built houses and
bad heating facilities.
