Robert Campbell has it in his head that some three or four deer are anxiously awaiting his arrival over in the Alsea country so on Monday morning he pack-t ed.up the necesary. trappings : and started for tall timber. He knows how to make it warm for them. The many friends of Hon. W E. Yates will be pleased to learn that he is . rapidly recovering from the' serious illness of the past week. Our latest report is that he was able to sit up in the bed. We shall watch the broth -er with deep interest for he was always our friend when we called for help.4;: - W. G.

U With very few exceptions the whoI of the land under grain of any kind is absolutely flat If It Is not so by na ture the Japanese farmer levels and banks It up'till it Is horizontal. In the narrow .valleys there are elaborate series of terraces running up the slope of the hills till the fields become so small as to accommodate but a double row of plants. The more typical grain A MOSAIO, XH GOLD AND OKKKN. country, , however, lies in broader val leys or along the coast, where there are many wide plains which' were once be neath the' water. If one looks down on these from a slight ' elevation hey appear like some elaborately designd mathematical figure or as though a cloth had , been spread over: the earth with mosaic patterns in gold and green. Each little field is as nearly rectangu lar as circumstances will allow. Many of them, therefore, are perfect rectan gles, for where the plain Is broad It is easy to fit into it small fields ot twen ty or thirty feet in length. .' Many of the plats are even less than this. , Some barley fields are only six feet by a dozen or so ' v-' ' T4he pattern of this mosaic is vividly marked out by the. coloring of the vari ous crops, .Today the , barley, is ripe and stands golden in the sunshine. The rieeflelds, however, are but bare ex panses of mud or water, for the rice is not yet planted out, but is growing in small, oblong fields by itself, which show a vivid emerald green growth of little plants only three' or four inches lue euu 01 aiay some or taR farmers ate begnning t0 reap their ripe bsrlcy and wheat, and when this . is finished they will be free to plant out what is to them the much more important crop, the rice. Reaping and planting of grain together one may see in the same acre. There is no .- broadcast sowing of grain here. ; Each seed grain has an individuality and Is separately tended. The barley is planted In rows, perhaps three feet or six feet long, and each row Is a foot or eighteen Inches from the next, so that a worker can pass between the rows to tend and weed and finally to reap each individual plant. In many cases each row grows on a little semicircular ridge four or five feet horizontally and about a foot high, so that the barley is well draia ed. though the next little field may lie under several inches of water. In the whole district of Okuna there wa? only one of the ripe fields "laid" by the wind, and that was one of the lar gernearly thirty feet aeross. It Is not to be Inferred from this that the Japa nese farmers do not have to contend with heavy winds and pitiless, .beating rains. . . Japan is a particularly windy country, and this, year has been .'a very bad season, .for even . in April there was heavy, snow snow so thick that It entirely disorganized the telegraphic and railway communication for a few days.

THE FEEDER. 4 Sheaf oats are one of the best feeds grown for young stock. Fanners Ad- vocate thinks oats in the sheaf are' worth more for feed than in aDy other shape. Cut early with a binder, stack well and feed in the barn. The cows and calves enjoy a little variety, and a feed of sheaf oats will be much rel ished. , , Appetizers foot Needed.,, A breeder says: 'A farmer recently asked me to name some kind of ap petizer., for his . calves, which for a few meals ate and drank well and again would eat and drink nothing. It is suspected that those calves were being overfed. Never ..feed an animal more than . it will clean up well at each meal. . Feed in such a way that the animal would eat just a 'little more if the feed were to be had. This feed ing direction followed, no recipes for appetizers are needed." , . Overfeeding and Underfeeding. , There is more, danger of overfeeding colts than underfeeding. Either one, I however. Is disastrous. Overfeeding injures the digestive organs and leaves the -system in a condition much more liable to disease and disorders. Under feeding means a stunted condition, which is invariably a disappointment Even with good breeding such a colt will not develop into a profitable ani mal. ,A healthy, vigorous growth is the ideal thing to be sought . Skimmed Milk For Pigs. Pigs like skimmed, milk right from the separator, and It makes an excel lent feed, especially when a proper amount of grain is added, as these ani mals should be kept growing and fat tening at the same time, says a dairy man. The last of February I took a Chester 'white pig. weighing'. 115 pounds, alive, and put tt in a pen alone where it was warm and dry. It was fed with the skimmed milk and one quart of mixed grain three times -a day. It was fed thus for fifty days and then slaughtered. The dressed weight was 178 pounds. I calculate this was equal to two pounds of in crease per day. live weight Mornlnsr and night fresh sepanitcf milk was fed.- . .
