GROWING WINTER OATS
Reduces Feed Bill and Prevents
Washing of the Soil.
Variety Most Commonly Used IN
South 10 Red Rustproof-Winter
Turf Is Hardy and Valuable
for Pasture or for Hay.

Every southern farmer should grow
enough oats to feed his work STOCK
during at least a portion OF the year.
In addition to furnishing feed grain
at less cost than 1t can be purchased
fall-sown oats prevent the washing OF
the soil. by which much fertility Is
frequently lost. There is still time

tanned. According to specialists OF
the department. oats sown In the
southern states during October or the
first half Of November may be ex'
pected to produce at least twice the
Weld of grain obtained from spring
seeding.
Winter grain may be sown on land
which produced a crop of cotton, corn,
or cowpeas the past summer. Ii this
land has not already been plowed, II
will be better to make the surface

blowing now. Better results are OBJ.
tanned from sowing with the drill
than from broadcast seeding, though
If a drill is not available sowing the
seed broadcast on well-prepared land
usually results in good stand. II
the preceding crop was well fertilized
100 to 200 pounds of acid phosphate
will be all that the oats require this
fall, though little nitrate OF soda
will help the fall growth, especially II
the soil is not already well supplied
with nitrogen from the growing OF
cowpeas or some other legume. A
top dressing of SO to 100 pounds OF
nitrate of soda applied when growth
starts In the spring will greatly in.
crease the yield.
The variety of winter oats most
commonly grown in the South is Red
Rustproof Appler. Lawson, Hundred
BusheI, Bancroft and Cook are selec-
tions or strains Of Red Rustproof
which are said to be particularly val.
liable in some localities. The Full.
ghum Is a promising new variety
which natures a week or ten
DAYS earlier than the Red Rust
proof, and usually produces as
much or more grain. AS the kernels
of all these varieties are large, from
two and one-half to three and one-half
bushels should be sown to the acre,
The smaller quantity Is sufficient II
the seed Is drilled early on well-pre-
pared land. while three bushels or
more are needed when the seed Ia
sown broadcast late In the season.
The Winter Turf or Virginia Gray Ia
O very hardy variety, which Is valu-
able for pasture or hay production
but which does not yield as much
grain In the southern states as the
Red Rustproof. On account of the
small size of the kernels, only one and
one-half bushels Of seed OF this va
rtety are required.

largely due to the fact that they were
not properly fed. In the management
OF the draft colt it is better not to let
the colt follow the mare while che Is
at work. but to keep the colt to box
stall, making sure that there are no
loose boards or open places In the
walls in which the colt might injure
itself, and it is well to handle the colt

TAKE CARE OF FARM MANURE

by keeping the stock well bedded
Fermentation is another source OF
loss. It cannot be wholly prevented,
but can be held in check by keeping

The outlook for continued good

without question $40 for Shorthorn

Tobacco and Poison-Gas.

Writing to friend, corporal of
the Canadian artillery says:
What hurt us most was the gas
they turned loose. 1t made the air
green and yellow, and 1t Just chokes
and poisons a man where he stands.
Tobacco saved many a boys life in
that battle. We began to feel pretty
choky at the guns, and wondered II
tobacco would help us. We thought
we would try it, and put big chew
in our mouths, and it made us spit
the gas up. Now, when we notice
the gas in the air, we put tobacco
In our mouths, and it helps US lot"

oil ointment and resinol soap. This
proved so remarkably successful, that
thousands OF other physicians nave
prescribed 1t constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption
quickly and at little cost. Resinol
ointment and resinol soap can be
bought at any druggists, and are not
at all expensive.

was correct, the gases, on the rife
being fired, would be stopped by the
block Of wood and would hurl the
weapon backward. The rifle was fired
and, as expected, 1t was flung back
ward against the wall Of the shop.
Browning's principle was established.
Very quickly the inventor, had this
kick" harnessed in such a way that
the gas pressure was transferred to
the breech mechanism and made to
operate all the movements of the gun.
It did so with such speed, after the
first pulling of the trigger, that no
fewer than 900 bullets could be fired
In minute.
When applied in the automatic pis-
tofit was found that eight shells could
be discharged in the brief space OF
one and three-fifths seconds. The re-
suit was that these weapons were
quickly adopted by half dozen gov
ernments for use In their armies and
navieH.
Germans Use His Patents.
Since their capture Of the city OF
Liege the Germans, it Is understood,
have been turning out weapons on the
Browning patents by the thousands at
the works Of the Belgian Fabrique
National. Whether they have kept ac-
citrate count of what they owe him
in the way of royalties, Browning does
not know and will not hazard an
opinion.
Browning can never be induced TO
say anything definite as to the sum he
receives in royalties. To form an
estimate his friends find as difficult
as to gain an admission from the In
ventor himself. Some Of his hundred
or more successful patents he has
sold outright. From those which ne
has placed on royalties his income
has been estimated at from $1OO.OOO
all the way up to $1,0Oo.OOO year.
On one occasion the experts OF
well-known arms firm labored for
more than a year, 1t Is said, In Ell
forts to copy in smaller caliber. q
Browning gun the concern had pur-
chased from the inventor. Eventually
the president of the company sent Tor
Browning and offered him $4,000 to
accomplish the task. Browning, MS
friends say, did it while on the tram
on his way home from New York.
Mr. Browning Is sixty years old ana
has eight children, whose ages range
from twelve to thirty-four. Some OF
the sons are following their fathers
footsteps. Others are devoting them
selves to music and literature. Inc
inventor is 6 feet 8 inches tall and
straight as a young Indian. Wnen
not fishing he is fond of a hunting
expedition, and with his brother ana
co-worker, Matthew 8. Browning, has
won many trophies as trap shooter.
In his home at Ogden his principle
diversion is his banjo. Mr.. Browning
says he thinks he plays "torrobly well
for an old 'un." His favorite melo.
dies are 1.-THE Blue Bells of Scotland
and "The Beautiful Blue Danube"

of the still more widely known and

peating rife, and since then has taken
out more than hundred patents on
firearms.

tionale at Liege, Belgium. To cele-
