are to be put, but the yield is a:i Im

tin havis for improvement in yield as
well ns iu the other points that will
be taken up later. The tlirt step is t )
'.elect the variety that seem.-; to be

that as the basis of Improvement. The

Individual Head Tests.
These Individual head tests are car

heads should l.e carefully selected In
the fall. In addition to the rise of
lieada, the stiffness of the straw. Its
height and freedom from rust and
other fungtiH diseases should be noted.
The rown In the breeding plot should
be four Inches apart and the kernels
droppul the same distant e apart In the
tow.'The aim throughout should be to
have the conditions as nearly like
those of the field as possible. The
number of rows will depend to a con
siderable extent on the time that can
be devoted to the work. The larger
the number the greater the prolmbll

teriulue the differences more exactly
it is necessary to weigh a uuudred
oats or so ou n tine balance such as
any do -tor or druggist possesses, theu
press out the hulls and weigh them
and calculate the per cent. The weight
of outs to the measured bushel varies
from twenty-live to fifty pounds. The
heavy oats are of course the most
valuable. Nearly all grain elevatc.rs
have n Email device for testing tin
weight per bushel.
Another point to be considered U the
tendency to stool. In localities where
the summers are cool and late varie
ties can be grown, a tendency to stool
considerably is desirable, since a thick
staud can lie secured with less seed.
Where the summer.? are hot and early
varieties must be grown, however, the
teudeiu-y to stool to any great extent
shnild be discouraged, since stooling
uiv.ays delays ripening. Often a hull
will be seen partly Inclosing a smaller
oat. These small oats are known ns
pin 'outs. They lessen the yield, nnd
a strain which cintains many of them
should be discriminated ugiinst.
There are three general types of oats
side oats, hulless oats and spreading
oats. The bulless varieties do not yield
enough to be cf any great value. The
side cats, in which the berries are all
on one side of the head, are grown in
this country t j a limited extent ouly.
Most cf the oats grown are of the
spreading varieties. There are varie
ties of otits of almost every color,
wltite. yellow, black and green being
tlu'Tnost common. There Is little dif
ference In yield that can bo ascribed
to c-ib r. If they are grown In n com
munity ia large enough quautlties so
that they can be shipped In carload
lots the sidling price will not vary
much.
Selecting Wheat and Bsrley Heads.
In sele.ting wheat heads those that
do not shell too readily ithould be given
the preference, since much wheut Is
lost by shelling during harvest. The
grains should lie plump, smooth and
briedit. The seed coat should Ik? tough
and not cracked. Where the bran la
brittle and cracks easily It is dilHcuit
to separate It from the flour. The
kernels should be hard. Hard wheat
makes better Hour owing to the great
er percentage of gluten, and millers
will pay mure for it. Beardless w heat
Is nun easily handled, but it does not
yield as well as the bearded varieties.
In barley the hull adheres t the
kernel In thrashing. The grains should
bo bright, as the quality of brewing
barley depends largely upon the color.
The Ill's! barley for brewing purposes
is that which contains the most starch.
This tan be determined by cutting
through the grain and noting the per
cenni;e of standi to homy parts. For
feeding purposes a smaller percentage
of starch 1 desired.
Beardless barley h a little less hardy

The story Is that Mrs. Sickles' mother,

reside with her. Mrs. Sickles thought
she should return to her mother and
remain with her till she died. Mr.
Sickles did not agree with her nnd ne
