WINTER 0A1S
W SOUTHERN STATES
•I Africa Itura
latorattiaf Bulletin.
Every southern farmer should {row
enough oats to feed his woi'k stock
during at least a portion of the year.
In addition to furnishing feed grain at
less cost than it can be purchased,
tallsown oats prevent the washing of
the soil by which much fertility is fre
quently lost. There is still time to
sow winter oats in the Gulf States,
though this work should be done at
once if good results are tabe obtained.
According to special is ts of the United
States Depirtment of Agriculture, oats
sown in the Southern States during
October or the first half of November
maybe expected to produce at least
twice the yield of grain obtained from
spring seeding, according to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
Winter grain may be sown on land
which produced a crop of cotton, corn
or cowpeas the past summer. If this
land has not already been plowed, it
will be better to make the surface soil
fine and loose with the disk or drag
harrow than to delay seeding by plow
ing now. Better results are obtained
from sowing with the drill than from
broadcast seeding, though if if drill is
not available sowing the seed broad
cast on well prepared land usually re
sults in a good stand. If the preced
ing crop was well fertilized, 100 to 200
pounds of acid phosphate will be all
that the oats require this fall though
a little nitrate of soda will help the fall
growth, especially if the soil is not al
ready well supplied with nitrogen from
th# growing of cowpeas or some other
legume. A top dressing of b0 to 100
pounds of nitrate of soda applied when
growth starts in the spring will greatly
A£crease the yield.
, The variety of winter oats mist com-
asonly grown in the South is Red Rust-
T proof; Appier, Lawson, Hundred Bush-
el, Bancroft and Cook are selections or
Strains of Red Rustproof which are
said to be particularly valuably in some
localities. The Fulghum is a promising
new variety which matures a week or
ten days earlier than|«the Red Rust
proof, and usually produces as much or
more grain. As the kernels of all these
varieties arc large,) from 2 1-2 to 3 1-2
bushels should be sown to the sere
The mailer quantity is sufficient if the
seed Is drilled early on Iwell-prepared
land, while 3 bushela or more are need
ed wh*n the aeed is sown broadcast
late in the season. The Winter Turf
or Virginia Gray is a very hardy variety
which is valuable for pasture or day
production, but which does not yield as
much grain in the Southern States as
the Red Rustproof. On account of the
small size of the kernels, only 1 1-2
bushels of seed of this variety are re
quired.

Given two men nud n womuu you'll
most always have ji romance: two wo
men mid one mnn are apt to produce
a riot, but take two women mid two
men, all In love, and evei^- one of 'em
bein’ a misfit, as you nilxht way, and
it’s like a two ring circus—you can’t
possibly take In all the details.
VYlieu this here Miss Daphne Don
aldson first throws lu with the west
it's with no notion except to foi'Klt
past unpleasantnesses which, I learn
afterward, was caused by her havin’
Pullman tastes and her husband hav
in' a day coach'pocketbook.
Course, In order to win her he puts
up a bigger front than his bank ac
count calls for. and when he can’t live
up to the premises she pleads nonsup
port and requests her maiden name.
So when we first see her she’s got
both the divorce ami said maiden
name and has flew west to escape the
gossip and scandal ensuin’ from the
same.
It took a special trip to freight her
trunks out to the ranch, and she bad
clothes that made the men set up und
take notice and the women's eyes turn
green with envy.
She shore has the heart broke look,
and she ain't been here a week before
I see plain that Johnny Duval is goln’
ta l»e first aid to the Injured.
You see, the biggest part of this
ranch Is owned by a man back east
named Stoner, who was her confiden
tial adviser, and he tells her Just to
come and make herself at home here
till such time as she feels like facin'
the world again.
Now, Mary Tall»ert. whose folks have
charge of this outfit. Is one of them
quiet, practical girls who only know
one way to love—that’s with a secret,
consumin' patfaton.
Secret, thst Is only to the object of It.
stid consundn' all her time In thinkln'
al*out It. The object of Mary's devo
tion was Johnny Duval.
That such Is Iwd enough.
But about three weeks after Miss
Daphne arrives Mr. Talbert gits a let
ter from this Stoner savin' he can’t
come otrt to look after aome matters
aa be does once each year, but la send-
In' a substitute who will make a new
contract with Talbert and attend to all
business for him.
I drive In to meet this duck, whose
name la Smithson, and I find a tall,
slim fellow dressed Uke them pictures
hi the laick of the magazine where It
ssys:
“If you want to feel at ease In any
society, wear”—etc., and who can. ask
more questhuia than u Jackleg lawyer?
When we reach the house Daphne J
and Mary are on the east gallery. I,
make ’em acquainted with Mr. Smith-
ton.
Daphne Is standln' foolin’ with a
chain she always wears around her
neck with sortie kind of u little Itoodus
on the end of It.
‘‘How do you do?" she says, noddln'
her head. In llfforont. Then shejiicue
with arnttl^oX “Uk.Tks In the
“Glad to meet you.” says Mary, hold
In' out her h ind. “Have you all had
your dinner?"
When we say we haven’t she gits up,
Sinoothin' out her fresh gingham dress,
and gi*os In to set dinner out.
That was the difference between 'em.
In a week's time Mr. Smithson looks
like he's forgot he was sent here for
the h«ad, not knowta’ enough to aaa
where the brute should ga
“Let him go,” yella Johnny, and rips
out four uncomplimentary words which
wonldn’t. have sounded so bad to
Smithson If the first and fourth hadn't
been “you.”
Daphne rides over to Smithson at
once, her face plumb scarlet.
“I think.'',she says, dignified, “you'd
better take Maty and me home.”* "
Ho be tjikes the ladies tl* the ranch
fhd that’s the Inst I see of 'em till
that evenin', when us boys come up
from .the hruuillii' pcns and the two
women are on the gallery by thelr-
sclves.
Johnny Duval marches right up and
apologizes for losln' his patience.
Daphne shrugs her shoulders and
says nothin'. Hut Mary looks at him
with sympathy.
“It'sipretty hard work to have to do
twice on account of somebody’s Ig-
nohwice," she says.
Johnny looks at Mary, grateful.
The# Daphne bolls over.
“You western men can do Just one
thing," she says, scornful. “You can
work cattle with nil the ridin’ and
other things Jliat appertain. But |fiit
one of you back in civilization and
you'd have to drive a dray for a
'Ivin'.’’
“Poor people have poor ways, but
ain’t that a honest way to make n liv
in'?" says Johnny and turns on his
heel, spurs Jlugliu', nud goes hi the
house. *
I could see Mary was pleased plumb
through.
The rest of us 1m>.vh says nothin', and
directly .Mary goes out to a mesquite
bush a few - feet from the house and
picks off a leaf.
Hhe comes buck to the foot > of the
gallery ste|>s ami says: “Homebody
name this. I’m golu' to tell Miss
Daphne’s fortune.”
Just then Hmlthson saunters out, aud
I says, 'Tve named It.”
“Big house, little house, plgi>en,
kitcljen," says Mary, pluckin’ off a
prong aud throwln' It away with each
"house.”
"Big house, little house, pigpen,
kitchen."
“Big house, little house"—
“Mr. Smithson,” I says.
,"You’re goln’ to marry Mr. Smithson
and live lu a little house,” says Mary,
lookin' at Daphne and InifShln'.
"That leaf had one too many prongs,
I'm afraid." nays Smithson. “How
about It, Miss Donnldsou?"
“I>*ve," beglus Daphne, toyin’ wKh
that chain of hers. “I»ve Is like hap
piness and everything else—It has a
relative value. It deitcnds on who Is
In the ‘little house.’" She gits up aud
goes to the door, then she stops.
“The -little houses' where lore ex
ists,” she says, lookin’ straight at
Suilthaon. “are more complete than
IJic -big houses' that are only for show
and to keep |uice with the bunch.”
Then she walks in the house.
“I'd atsnit ns soon mine would come
out *plgl>en* If It couldn't be ‘big
bouse.' I've lived in little bouses and
kitchens nil my days," Mar;- says, with
a sigh.
“You'll never know the relative val
ue till you’ve tried both," says Smith-
son to Mary. When she has gone In
tlie bouse, too, he turns to me.
"Women, iny friend, are alike’ tbe
world'over,” he says, sorter bitter.
"But Just the same we can't do with
out them."
“N'o,- sh - ," I replies emphatic.
