He sowed the yellow oats, an early variety, got it in early and did it well--with a drill. Diller thinks there is something in the way you put in your oats, but that wasn't what cut the crop this time.

The Washington Republican Washington County Friday June 19, 1896 There has been quite a little complaint about the wanton destruction of birds' eggs and nests by town boys who are hunting specimens. There is no sense in this, and even the collecting of a great variety of eggs is a destruction of birds which seldom pays for the trouble. On Friday afternoon last the barn of Wm. MONTGOMERY fives miles southeast of Washington, was destroyed by fire, together with his binder, lister, spring wagon, harness and all his grain and hay. All were away from the house at work except the very small children when the accident occured. The little boy threw a lighted match into the manger and the deed was done. There was no insurance on any of the property and nothing was saved from the barn, but fortunately the wind was blowing from the house and other outbuildings, which alone saved them form destruction. The barn and all the property were good and the loss will fall quite heavily on an industrious and thrifty family.
