PREPARE SEEDED FOR. OATS
Not Generally Necessary TO Piow
Land Before eowins-Disk Har-
row 10 Recommended. =.

Oats usually follow a cultivated
crop such as corn or potatoes; hence
It is not generally necessary to plow
the land before sowing. Oats do well
ON fall-plowed land. but IL the land
has not been plowed in the fall better
yields are usually produced from
sowing in . seeded made by disk
ing and narrowing than in one made
by spring plowing. Early seeding for
oats 10 very desirable. As a good seed
bed can be made much more quickly
with the disk harrow than with the
plow on land that was in cultivated
crop last year, the saving in time is
an advantage. Two diskings and one
narrowing with the spike-toothed bar
row will put clean land in good shape
for sowing with the drill.
Oats grow best in a seedbed that
has 2 or inches of loose surface soil,
but which IL firm below that depth.
This is another reason why disking is
to be preferred to spring plowing, for
there is not time for plowed land to
settle before the seed is sown. Still
another reason why the disk is better
is that q field can be plowed, and the
cheaper way of doing job should
always be chosen II 1t gives just as
good results as the more expensive
way.

ing their energy but are doing . dam
age to the soil from which it will take
years for 1t to recover. To determine
when heavy soils are ready for plow.
ing, a handful of earth should be col
lected from the surface and the fing.
ers tightly closed on it. II the ball
Of compacted earth is dry enough for
cultivation 1t will fall apart when the
hand is opened.
A garden spot near the house is Of.
ten more desirable than a plot which
is in better tilth but located at an in
convenient distance. A garden which is
near the house will receive many q
spare hour of care from adults and
children which would otherwise be
wasted. Where there is ample room
for the selection Of garden site. the
slope Of the land should be carefully
considered. A gentle slope. toward the
South is most desirable for growing
early crops, while it is a decided ad-
vantage to have the plot protected on
the north and northwest by either q
hill, a group Of tEi,dings, or board
fence.
Drainage Of the garden is of great
Importance. The land should have
suhicient fall to drain of surplus wa
ter during heavy rains and yet not be
so steep that the soil will be washed
or quilted. The surface should be
nearly level SO the water will not stand
in hollows. Where the natural slope
Of the lana does not, provide, sufl.
cient natural drainage, bitches may
be dug or tile drain put in. This
will prevent waste water from the ad-
joining land from washing over 1t.
Such water may carry weed and grass

culled out with difficulty

CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL.

~SNoO OmF vlON SF %1~VFVON.
That the use of beer and wines does
not tend to decrease the consumption
of strong liquors, is shown by Gabriel
son. . Swedish statistician who has
published the results Of his re-
searches. The figures are for the Pc
riod 1906-1910.
France consumes more than three
times as much alcohol per capita as
the United States. due to its general
use of wine. Italy consumes nearly
three times as muck. Spain twice as
much, Greece twice us much, Switzer-
land twice as much. Portugal nearly
twice as much. Belgium consumes
considerably more alcohol, although
1t is one of the leading beer countries.
In Germany 40 per cent of the total
drink consumption is of spirits. while
in the United States more than SIS
per cent Of the total drink consumption
is beer, which seems to indicate that
the Germans. despite their beer preJu-
dices, use considerably more spirits
per capita than the United States.
