PREPARE SEEDED FOR OATS
Not Generally Necessary to PIow
Land Before sowin9-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 a seeded made by disk
ing and narrowing than in one made
by spring blowing. Early seeding for
oats is very desirable. AS good seed
bed can be made much more quickly
with the disk harrow than with the
pillow on land that was in a cultivated
crop last year, the saving In time Ii
an advantage. Two diskings and one
narrowing with the spike-toothed har'
row will put clean land in good shape
for sowing with the drill.
Oats grow best In seeded that
has 2 or 8 inches of loose surface soil,
but which is firm below that depth
This is another reason why disking ie
to be preferred to spring blowing, FOL
there is not time for plowed land to
settle before the seed is sown. Still
another reason why the disk is better
is that a field can be plowed, and the
cheaper way of doing a job should
always be chosen II it gives just al
good results as the more expensive
way.

Close after the discovery that New
York Is the greatest city In the world
comes the report that its public library
ia the most used library on earth. re-
marks an exchange. Its daily aver
age number of readers is double that
of the British museum Of London or
the Bibliotheque Rationale of Paris,
according to the report for 1915, just
published, which says that 1O,3S4,579
books were borrowed in the year and
that 2,55S,717 persons entered the cen.
trail building at Fifth avenue and For
ty.second street. The war has brought
a great increase in the number OF
people who use the library for re
search. It has become, the director
says, an immense laboratory for scien
tific investigation, particularly those
seeking information regarding new in
dustries.

Plan for Small Garden.

GUS gardeners, ready to seize the first
warm spell as a favorable opportunity
to go out and work the heavy clay
soil before it is dry, are not only vast
ing their energy but are doing dam
age to the soil from which it Will take
years for it 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 fng-
ers tightly closed on 1t. II the ball
of compacted earth is dry enough for
cultivation it 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 filth but located at an In
convenient distance. A garden which Is
near the house will receive many a
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
hill, a group of buildings. or a board
fence.
Drainage of the garden is Of great
Importance. The land should have
sufficient fall to drain on surplus wa
ter during heavy rains and yet not bt
so steep that the soil will be washed
or quilted. The surface should b
nearly level so the water will not stanf
in hollows. Where the natural slop'
of the land does not provide sum

How to Fertilize.

Allison, for memory is short In the
ring; he had just disappeared, and
even his name only awakened half
forgetful recognition.
And Joe could do nothing but box
and teach boxing. He had never
learned a trade. Since chance threw
him, as a little boy, into the company
of prize fighters, he had followed the
ring. And he knew, worst Of all, that
he was just as strong, just as quick
as he had ever been. Even at thirty

champion, who went up and down the
country, offering standing prize Of
a thousand dollars to anyo1e who
could stand up against him for six
