A Strange Story, A curious story of a bull's death from heart failure comes from Austra- lia. Drank Norman was walking on the footpath on High street, Korort, while some cattle were being driven along the street. Suddenly a bull broke away from the others and rush- ed at him, There beiug no means of escape, Mr. Norman opened his um- brella in the animal's face, and it at once fell dead. Mr. Norman retrained unhurt. It is supposed that the sud- den appearance of the umbrella before the animal caused fright and heart failure.

The Markham Sun relates how two little children, a boy age 6, and a girl two years of age laid under a train while it was°passing. One day as ,the little boy expressed it, "they wanted to see what the under side of a train looked like." They laid themselves down on the track between the rails of an approaching freights train. The engineer whistled all to •no purpose. The pair lay still 'until the train pass- ed completely over them, then they sprang up and ran away. A brake- man hurried to the rear of the train, expecting to see two mangled bodies, but was`oderjoyed to see them unin- jured. A section hand was a witness of the strange experience. The lietle boy told his sister to keep her head down, and this no doubt prevented an accident. The little fellow was after- wards heard to complain that he couldn't see the bottom of the train on account of the dust that filled their eyes. Couldn't Fool Him, A youngecountry chap once got a job in a city grocery.

Birds grow from eggs, not seeds," Will Try This Plan. The Kincardine Reporter says :-- The merchants of Kincardine purpose adopting a protective system which has proved very satisfactory in tither towns whereby all accounts are col- lected by one man appointed for the purpose and who will also ctasgify the debtors as dead beats, slow pwps, or good, and will place Iists so cla%sifted in the merchants hands for their guidance in giving credit.

This Cow Likes Fish. Among a herd of young cattle, the property of Thos. McMahon, at Mil- ford, near Picton, there is a two-year- old heifer which has developed,a rath- er peculiar appetite, none other than a fondness for fish. As the eel fisher- men of that section, in quest of bait, are running their shad nets, which are close in shore,°the animal •in'question, with every appearance of anxiety, hastens to the beach, where she stands waiting the distribution of the catch, and devours large quantities with as much relish as other cattle would the choicest morsels known to the cow bill of fare, Formerly Of Atwood., While some little girls were bathing in the St. Lawrence River, near Point Iroquois, Beryl Pelton, .daughter of the editor of the Iroquois News, step- ped into a deep hole with a treacher- ous undercurrent.

V. GREGORY. Author of °Nome Course In Modern Agriculture" Coproino, 1909. by American Press Association EXT to wheat, oats are the most widely grown small grain crop, It is a crop that Is need- ed on every farm for feed, es- pecially for young stool; and horses, In the corn belt oats fill in a place its, the rotation that cannot well be taken by may other crop. The work of seed - Ing and harvesting fits In well with the worst of growing a corn crop; hence oats are and probably always will be an Important crop `e the corn belt. In spite of these reasons fo'r growing oats they .are not usually considered to bo a profitable crop. The price is less titan that of corn and the yield usual - FIG. VIII—GOOD AND P000 STACKS. .,ly considerably lower. Most farmers raise oats more because they have to than because they think there is any money In It. if handled rightly, how- ever, oats can be made a money crop. Oise of the most important points in oat growing Is the selection of seed that is adapted to the locality. Oats are a cool weather crop. - The bot midsummer aveatllef of the` corn belt Is one of the chief factors causing low oat yields. When the hot weather strikes the oats they blight. and rust badly. Many tirnes they crinkle down" and do not fill well.' Advantage of Early Varieties. The only way this can be avoided In the corn bolt Is to sow: early varieties. Thee ripen before the hottest weather comes and 'escape many of the trou- bles that effect later oats. Early va rteties are mach less susceptible to rust than late ones are. The selection of rust proof varieties is the only way of combating this disease, since, un like smut, It cannot be prevented by treating the seed. Experiments at the Iowa experiment station show nine bushels snore to the acre in favor of early varieties. The average of twelve years experiments at the Nebraska station gave the early oats fourteen bushels to 'the acre ad ventage. In good oat years—that is. those with a cool summer—the differ- ence is not so marked. In such. sen sons the Into oats yielded seven bush• els to the acre less than the early. while the medium oats yielded a tittle more. in bad oat years—and in tbe corn belt four yearn out of Live are bad troll) the oats standpoint—the early va- rieties yielded twenty-one bushels to the 'acre more than the late and till!, teen bushels more than the medium. The medium varieties are more con venlent, as they do not crowd in on baying and corn plowing like the early ones do. The use of unproved haying machinery Is shortening the time re quired for putting up the bay crop. however. Tile advantage of early oats in yield will in most cases more than make up for the disfdynntage of hav Ing the worts crowd,.d during the first half of July. Early oats have another advantage In that they give the clover a bete ter chance. Where the oats are not got off, the ground until the last of July and dry weather follows, as 11 so often does, the clover makes little growth and is often killed out entire. ly. With the adoption of a systematic rotation clover will nearly always bo seeded with oats, so that this is a pohai that cannot be ignored. It is not advisable to ship in oats from n distance to seed the entire held. Often you can get gond early seed from a neighbor at little more than market price, If there are no early oats in your community you can send away for a few bushels of a new variety and piaant them in a corner of the field by themselves. If they give good satisfaction enough seed can be saved from them to seed the entire field the next season. In the northern Part of tbe United States and In can. ndn, where the set -tuners are cool, late varieties can be profitably grown. 10 • such localities ' they gives a, greater yield had a larger, plumper oat. Preparing the Seed. After the seed has been procured the +noXt etep is to get it Into shape to Sow. This. means n liberal use of the fanning mill. A large per cent of the oats ,, fou are shoveled from the bin direly into the seeder. Most Patna• ors who de fen their ents simply run there through once to blow out the sticks and dirt and sieve out the weed Gerd. ft pays well It run the ones through the mill two er throe times to blow out all the fleet seen.

The differ. encs may not be this great every time, but it will always be great enough to pay well for the labor of fanning. 'There is an objection to using the heavy oats for seed in that they tend to become a little later enclt year. This can be avoided by Introducing some new seed of an early variety every few years. Directions Ifor breeding seed oats will bo given In article 7. Atter the oats are Cleaned and grad- ed they should be treated for smut. Smut ie a black fungus tont grows from it tiny spore that lodges beneath the Intl when the oat is in bloom and the kernel open. When the hull closes the spore is held inside until the next season, when it -sprouts and sends a thread up through the stem to the head. There the stout grows, produc. Ing a black maes where the head should be. Often as many as 15 per cent°of the bends will be affected In this way. These black beads are not easily noticed, so that the damage°is usually underestimated.. The simplest method of treatment is to spread the oats out on a tight floor and sprinkle them with a solution of one pound of formalin to forty gallons of water, This amount is %sufficient for forty bushels of oats. Shovel the oats over two or three times until they are thoroughly wet, and then pile them up and cover them with blankets or seeks. The fumes from the formalin will penetrate beneath the hull and kill the smut spores. In the niorning the oats should be spread out again and shoveled over occasionally until dry. They can be sowed wet, but in that case the seeder should be set to sow about a bushel to the acre more, as they do not run through as readily. This work should be done on a warm day, as freezing while the oats are wet will Injure the germination. This treat- ment costs only about a cent a bushel and is very effective. Preparing the Seed Bed. One of the most neglected points 10 oat culture Is the ,.preparation of the seed bed. Oats do better on a rather flrm seed bed. If the field was in corn the year previous it will not be neces- sary to plow unless the ground Is very hard. it should be disked thoroughly, however, to cut up the stalks and pul- verize the upper two or three Indies. It will usually be profitable to let the disk "lap half," as this does°'away with ridges and leaves the land in better shape. One harrowing after the disking leaves the ground In splendid shape to receive the seed. ° Methods of Seeding. There are several methods of seed- ing, of which the end gate seeder is the worst and the disk drill the best. The two main objects in seeding are to get the seed in evenly and at ap- proximately the same depth. The end gate seeder fulfills neither of Mese re- quirements. The broadcast seeder scat- ters the seed evenly, but It Is covered no better than with the end gate seed. er since both depend upon the disk for covering. The disk drill is more ex- pensive and does -not get over the ground as rapidly, but it ,ltstributesa the seed evenly and puts it at the same depth. The seed is dropped in furrows made by the disks and thor- oughly covered, so that one harrowing is ail that is necessary after drilling. Experiments show a considerable ad- vantage in yield in favor of the disk drill. At the Iowa station the average of four years' experiments -showed nine bushels to the acre in favor of drilling over broadcasting. From half a bush el to a bushel less seed to the acre is ' required when a drill is .used, as all A Goad Yield. The 'United States Secretary of A.grlefilture expects that Anlerieart farms this year will yield 8,101,174,000 bushels of corn, 400,701,000 bushels of winter Wheat, 233,706,000 bushels of spring wheat, 1813,923,000 bushels of barley, 01,11,28,000 bushels of rye, 002,- 033,000 buxheis of oats, and over 11,- 000,000 bales of Cotton.

Clover bas a bet- ter chance In drilled grain. The drill should be run north and south, so that the sun can shine in between the rows on the little clover plants. k Harvesting the Crop. Preparation for harvest should be made by having the binder in perfect running order beforehand, If oats are not cut as soon as ripe they Will al- most surely go down and be lost. Great care should .be taken in shocking to see that the bundlos stand up aun- ty. if the Straiw is not too green tilt shocks shouttl be cupped, as a capped shock will shed rain better. A shock tinct stands tip straig$t and is '"well eapptd will shed a great deal of rain without wetting in much. It is much better to stack thee) to thrash out of the shock. The oats trill sweat some- where, and they ome- vUerb,andthey ill be et bettr qual- ity ity if they do it In the stair instead of in the bin. It has been proved many times over that there Is nothing to be gained by thrashing oats from the shock. Oats that have been permitted to go through the sweating process in a well protected stack are always of better quality than those which have 4een hurried into the thrasher. Are You I?ale, Anaemie ?
