an hour, and by that time he would

FEED FOWLS SPR0UTED OATS
One of the Cheapest and Best Feeds
for Chickens-Feed When Sprouts
Are Two Inches Long.

Some people complain that sprouted
oats will mold, and the pans of the
sprouters are so hard to keep clean
and disinfected, that they are more
trouble than they are help. If the
pans are properly handled, there will
be no trouble, and sprouted oats are
one of the cheapest and best of feeds
for the chickens.
Sunshine in summer and heat in
winter are the best possible disinfec-
tants. Where metal trays are used in
the sprouters, they should be put in
the oven and heated until the corners
are thoroughly dry, then brush or wipe
it out thoroughly, let dry a minute or
so again, and use.
Do not soak the oats too long-do not
use moldy or musty oats-soak bright,
heavy oats for day, drain them well,
and put in the trays, or in a pan in a
warm place. Feed when the sprouts
are about two inches long.

WHAT WOMEN TALK ABOUT.

And then she was aware of, first,
That she, not knowing it, had nursed
His memory till it grew a part
A heart within her very heart.
When a group of young women are
talking together, if there's a bride
among them she drags in something
about her husband whether it fits into
the conversation or not. Her blush
and the eagerness with which she says
it evidence the subject she's fond of
talking about
The seasoned married women have
long since found it tedious and of no
pleasure in dragging their husbands
into their conversation. He is an old
story to most of them, while others
are glad to forget for few brief mo-
ments that there is such a parsonage.
What, then, do they talk about?
Their children, of course! Each one
will tell you proudly that her boy or
girl is at the head of the class. When
you talk of a score or more of such
women, whose children all go to the
same school and belong to that par
ticular class, if they're Gil e.t the head,
how many heads it must have To it
and no foot to stand on! The spinsters
when they get their heads together
discuss him"
They start in bravely over their af-
ternoOn tea, or bridge, to discuss, art,
literature or music. But they always
wind up by dragging some forlorn
bachelor or widOwer into the topic of
conversation. If not their own broth
er who is talked of it is somebody
elses brother. They are veritable
encyclopedias on who's single or, if
he's engaged how many firtations or
serious love affairs he's had, whether
he's matrimonially inclined, or is not
to be caught in the marriage net.
When you see a bevy of older girls
crowding close together, looking mys-
FERROUS, each with a finger on her lips
and hand over her heart, they are
promising faithfully on their word of
honor that they will never tell what
one of their number is contiding to
them about her beau. One after anoth-
er discloses her love affair One beau
is sulky; another too cold; while yet
another is too affectiOnate; some 9th
err one flirts; still another makes life
uncomfortable by his jealousy, being
quite as bad as the next beau under
discussion who keeps her guessing as
TO what his intentions are.
By the time these young women are
through their confabs, each fellow
talked about has had his peculiarities
pretty we'll threshed out. Dances,
balls, skating. shedding, barn frolics,
surprise parties and all the pleasures
known to sweet innocent girlhOOd are
dragged into conversation as a side
issue What girls do not learn by COM
pairing notes isn't worth knowing. Man
-man-man's ears must burn continu-
ously.

crop must be plowed under to make
for stable manure. In the case of a
legume manure crop the seed should
be saved, but all the rest of the crop
should be returned to the land. Cor
fuller details on soils, see Farmers
Bulletins 245 and 406.)
CD Correct soil acidity with lime
Lime is the one thing most needed by
the average rundown soil. 1t is per
haps safe to say that more poor crops
are due to sour soil than to lack of
plant food. Certainly most of the fail
ures of clover and other legumes are
due to soil acidity. On our soils lime
is needed to neutraliZe the acid. If
your sod fields show patches of red
like, scanty or sour-tasting vegetation,
and if your legume crops fail to re-
spond readily to application of stable
manure, try lime.
(8) Use phosphates when needed
Phosphorus, next to lime, is the min
eral plant food probably most needed
by the average unproductive soil.
There are three forms of phosphorus
in common use-finely ground rock
phosphate (foats), acid phosphate and
steamed bone meal.
When soil contains an ample supply
of organic matter and the object in
buying phosphorus is to increase the
supply of this element in the soil at
the lowest possible cost, this can be
done by purchasing finely ground rock
phosphate. On the other hand, if the
supply of organic matter in the soil
is limited or you are anxious to get
quick returns from the phosphorus, it
is advisable to purchase either acid
phosphate or steamed bone meal. AS
a ton of rock phosphate contains gen.
orally about $50 pounds of phosphorus.
when sold at the average market price
the phosphorus in it will cost the
farmer about three cents a pound.
Acid phosphate generally contains
about 125 pounds of phosphorus to the
ton and steamed bone meal about $50
pounds to the ton, and when sold at
the average price the phosphorus in
either of these forms generally costs
from ten to twelve cents a pound.
