This trouble is entirely obviated bry substituting win- | ter oats, They are sown at the same time as winter woeat, and ripen with wheat the following season, so that the harvesting and threshing may all be done at the same time. The variety we grow in Delaware is perfectly hardy—as moch so as Fultz wheat and withstands the severest weather perfectly. On good soil a yield of fifty to eighty Lashels is common.

The dairyman’s responsibility for the eare of his cows is not all gone to turn them out to grass in the early summer, Tle more he feels his responsibility in this di- rection, and acts upon it, the more valnable will his dairy become to him.
