Agriculture; Agriculture. 106 PRAIRIE AGRICULTURE. 2. Rotiedale Variety.—This is a lialf-sided oat; that is to say, not very branching, but not a side oat. It is a white variety, and very prolific. 3. Black Tartarian Oat.—Of all the black-hulled oats this is perhaps the best. It has a long, thin berry, either dark brown or jet black; the straw is very coarse and liable to rust, and the grain grows on one side of the head. The Black Tartarian is quite prolific, and the grain is considered excellent for feeding horses, but is unsuitable for making oatmeal. %.
