THE NEWS AND FARMER. LOUISVILLE. JEFFERSON COUNTY GA.. NOVEMBER 16, 1876. SMALL GRAIN, CLOVER AMD THE GRASSES* • All farmers, except those who are very inexperienced, know all about the culture of wheat, oats, barley and rye. From considerable observantion, and eight or ten years of practical ex perience, the writer believes the culture of oats is more profitable than that of wheat. In other words, an acre in oats will have a greater money value than an acre in wheat. Your readers, Mr. Editor, have-,seen, as well as I have, reports in the newspapers of the pro duction of oats harvested this year, 1876, reaching from 50 to 75 bushels per acre; and if lam not mistaken. I have seen a statement of nearly if not quite 100 bushels of threshed oats being taken from a single acre. Both oats and wheat are liable to various casual, ities during their growth to maturity, the principal one being a liability to rust; but lam quite sure that wheat is apt to suffer in a larger degree than oats. I know of no rust proof wheat, no matter how mnch care is taken in the seleetion and preparation of the seed. But there are rust proof seed oats, as has been proven by experience and un disputed testimony. Farjpcrs of great experience, have said that it very rarely happens that red oats are affected by rust, and if at all, in very slight de gree. Notwithstanding the greater casualt ies to wheat, all larmers, who have suitable land for its production, should grow enough for at least their family use. This will be more economical than to buy their flour. All experiencee farmers know what it costs them to grow a bushel of corn Experience, I believe, has satisfied many that most of our lands will make two bushels of oats to one in corn and with much less labor and expense. No one will doubt for a moment that two bushels of good oats is worth more than one bushel of corn. If one should ask will the oats go as far in feeding stock as the corn, he can make the calcula tion for himself, Ou the one hand, he will have eight pecks of oats, on the other, four pecks of corn. It will take a peck of the latter to feed a horse per day and a peck and a half of oats will be sufficient for the same length oftirpe. In England, the food for horses, worked hard, is oats. The London “Horse Rook’ says a horse may be put up to the hardest work on a peck of sound oats and fifteen to eighteen pounds of hay per day. It will be often found that 'he will not consume the whole of that feed and yet he will keep in good order and be but little liable to diseases of any kind. There they rarely have what we call in this country, “grain killed horses.” Assuming the English “/Torse Book” to be right, we would have 8 pecks of oats to ballanee 4 pecks of corn and a peck of the oats would be nearly as nutritious as a peck of corn. To make a fair ballanee, we must esti mate the greater cheapness in making the oats. The latter are sown and at the proper time haryested, while the corn has to be plowed and hoed at least three times during the progress of its growth. No one need be afraid to risk his horse on oats, for numerous ex periments have been made showing that horses, in this country and in the South, have been kept constantly at work, not for a month, but for a j-ear and more, while fed on oats alone, with the addition of fodder or hay. The “Book” referred to says: “Oats supply more nourishment and flesh making material than any other kind of food.” It says further, “oats should be bruised for au old horse but not for a joung one. Because the former through age and defective teeth, cannot chew them properly; the young horse can do so, and they are thus properly mix ed with the saliva, and turned into wholesom nutriment.” It may lie weil to experiment with clover on a small scale. Some advise sowing it in the fait with small grain.— Others with orchard grass and timothy. Others with only one of the grasses, and others, again advise its being sown alone. Some recommend its being sown i.i the Spring. Owing to many failures from unsuitable land or other causes it js good policy to experiment at first on a small scale until experience demon strates its suitableness for the soil and tJUe surest methods for its successful cultivation, I need not s.ay anything about the cultivation of rye, as it Is so well known, but I may add that a small patch of rye, the land being rich, will be worth more for gracing than the same quanti ty of land in corn or cotton, for grazing or soiling for horses, mq.les and cows, it should be sown thicker than merely for the production of the grain. For this purpose a bushel and a half of the grain will not be too much. It it useless to sow barley for the same object unless the ground is very rich. If it is not so, it must be made sq by stable manure, cowpenning or guanoes. Jfor grazing or soiling not less than three bushels should be sown the aore. Some recommend as much as four bushels. Most of these grains should be sown from the middle to the middle of October.

GOING COURTING. One of the chief compensations of a woman’s life is found in the fact that she does not have “to go a-courting.” It must be confessed that, in these days, the modem helle does her share of the! wooing, but she does not have to dress up in a stiff collar, and a pair of boots two sizes too small for her, and walk up to the cannon’s mouth of her inamo rata’s family, consisting of father and mother, and grandmother, and maiden aunt, and half a dozen brothers and sisters, and inquire, in a trembling voice: “Is Miss Arabella at home?” Whenever a young man goes a-court ing, everybody seems to know all about it. His demeanor tells the observant spectator the business he is intent upon. He might just as well placard himself with the legend, “I go a-court ing.” Everybody is cognizant of it, and looks knowingly ; and asks him if the Northern lights were bright last night about one o’clock,” and “how the market is for kerosene np to Daddy Brown’s,” and a score of other ques tions equally out of place. We have in our family at present a young man who is deeply, and we trust successfully, engaged in going a court ing ; and our wannest sympathies have been aroused for him. When Sunday afternoon arrives it is plain to see .that something is about to happen. Our young man fidgety and non-commuui eative and cannot sit in one place half a minute at a time. He is continually interviewing his watch and comparing it with the old eight-day, coffiu-shapod clock in the corner. He looks in the glass frequently, and draws his fore head locks first forward aud then back ward, and combs them up and pats them down, aDd is unsatisfied with the effect throughout. The smell of bay rum and bergamont ,is painfully apparent. When he shakes I out his handkerchief musk is pereepti ! ble. His boots shine like mirrors. There is a faint odor of cardamon seeds in his breath when he yawns. lie smoothes his budding moustache with affectionate little pats, and feels his in visible side whiskers continually, to make sure they are still there, a fact which is not established to outside ob servers by the sense of sight. He tries on all his stock of neck ties without finding just the thing; and he has spasms of brushing his coat, that com mence with violence and lasts till one grows nervous for fear the broadcloth will never be able to stand it. He declines soup that day at dinner. He says it Is because he doesn’t feel hungry, but we know it is because there are onions in it, and onions, as every one knows, do not sveeten one’s breath to any great extent. If spoken to on a sudden, he starts and blushes, and looks as guilty as if he had been caught stealing something, and directly one does not speak to hitn, he goes back t.o the delightful occupa tion of staring at nothing, and waiting for the hour hand to creep around to seven. And at seven, he sets forth, clean and tidy from top to toe, looking precisely as if he had just stepped out of a band box. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMA TION. Washington, D. C., ) October 26, 1876. $ By the President of the United, States : A PROCLAMATION. From year to year tve have been ao enstomed to pause in our daily pursuits and set apart a time to offer our thanks to Almighty God for the special bless ings He has vouchsafed to us, with our prayers for a continuance thereof, We have at this time equal reason to be thankful for His continued protection and for the many material blessings His bounty has bestowed. In addition to these favors accorded to us as indi viduals, we have especial occasion to express our hearty thanks to Almighty God that by his providece and guidance onr government, established a century ago, has been enabled to fulfill the pur pose of its founders in offering an asy lum to the people of every race, securing civil and religious liberty to all within its borders, and meting out to every in dividual alike justice before the land. It is, moreover, especially our duty to offer our humble prayers to the father of all mercies for a continuance of His divine favor to us as a nation and as in dividuals. By reason of all these considerations, I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the Ignited Srates, do recommend to the people of the United States to devote the 30th day of November, next to the expression of their thanks and prayers to Aliqighty God, and laying aside their ayocations and all secular occupations, to assemble in their re spective places of worship, and observe sue 4 day as $ dqy qf thanksgiving and rest. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caqsed the seal of the United states to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 2(jth day of Octoher, in the year qf our Lord, 1876 and of the independence of the United States of America the 101st. [L. S.] tf. S, GRANT. By tho President.

[Loaisville Riverside Weekly, 23rd.] A sad story of the terrible influence of the liquor traffic comes to us from Fairview, iu this State. Some three or ' four years ago a promising young man of that place married the lovely aud accomplished daughter of a minister of the gospil. The young couple were highly esteemed, and for a while their weeded lives ran smoothly and happily, and they were all to each other. But the tempter came—not to the wife, but to the husband. He fell—not at ouce to the lowest depths, but slowly and surely he went down the grade that leads from moderate drinking to con firmed drunkenness, until he spent everything he had for whisky, even selling the family Bible to procure money with which to gratify his craving for drink. A few mouths ago a baby was born to him —a sweet little innocent that laughed aud cooed unconscious of the degradation of its father. It would have been “a well-spring of pleasure” in the home of sobriety aud virtue, but here its innocence and help lessness touched no tender chord in the paternal heart. The love it should have aroused was dead, and in its place was an all-absorbing thirst for intoxi cating liquor. The poor mother alone found some consolation in its presence for the grief caused by her husband’s fall. But it was to be the means of adding a sharper pang to her despair. The drunken farther, unable to bear the torture of his raging thirst, was at his wit’s end for means to secure its gratification. He had nothing left which he could sell, and the bar-keeper refused to trust him for another drink. His morbid craving for stimulants was driving him frantic, and he was ready for almost any desperate deed. At this juncture he bethought him of his baby, and horible to relate, the un natual father took the little innocent from the house, carried it two miles to a low doggery, and there actually traded it to the bar-keeper for a drink of whisky ! Is there a deeper shame than this. If there is, nobody but the rum-seller can show the way to it. The distress of the unhappy mother can be imagined better than described. She recovered her child on paying for the whiskey, but her blighted hopes, her bleeding heart, her wrecked life still remain to bear damning testimony against the infernal traffic through which such ruin and infamy were wrought. RUFAS CHOATE’S FENCE. I suppose that the story about Rufas Choate’s handwriting has been told of ten. It seems that Mr. Choate, while living on a farm down in Massachusetts, wanted anew fence around the home lot. So he called in his carpenter and had a talk with him about the work, and the next time he went to Boston he got tiis architect to make a rough sketch, showing his ideas of how he de sired the fence to be built. On the day appointed for the work to begin Mr. Choate was summoned away. Just as he was about to start, the carpenter ap- | peared, and Mr. Choate pulled the plan out of his vest pocket, and hurriedly delivered it and then drove off to catch the train. Returning after an absence of two weeks, on approaching his home, he was filled with amazement, and led to doubt whether ho knew where he lived ; his home lot’ was surrounded by a zigzag fence of most extraordinary design. When he saw the old carpen ter pounding lustily away, he felt reassured as to the identity ot die place, but most puzzled by the marvellous fence. “Hello!” he shouted, “What are you doing?” “Doin’!” said the old carpenter, smashing in a tenpenny nail with one blow, “We’re doin’ some pooty tall work .We’ve just slung up this fence together in a little less time than any similar sligin’ was ever done in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts! We’re two days ahead of ooutract tune now!” “But for Heaven’s sake, what kind of a fence is this?” “Don’t know. Thought when you gi’ me the plan it was the darndest fence I ever heard off but I supposed you knew what you wanted,” “Plan!” said Rufas, “plan?” Let me see the plan !” and when the car penter handed it over the fence. Mr. Choate realized that iu his haste ho had felt in the wrong pocket, and hand ed him, not the plan, but a note in his own handwriting. The Leap-Year Jug Handle.—T* ie leap year jug-handle, says the Jdurek a {Cut.) Sentinel, has recently been in troduced Into Eureka, and is becoming so popular that it is probable it will outlive leap-year. The leap-year jug handle is the name for the style of walking wherein, instead of the laly taking her escort’s arm, the gentleman takes a tight grip on tho ladie’s arm just above the elbow, which he uses as a rudder to steer her through the crowd on the sidewalk. A couple walking in this fashion pass ed up Main Street last evening and a gentleman who had just arrived from Cherry Creok—where tho jug-handle has qot yet been introduced—remarked to a companion that he wondered what ailed that g|rU “That's leap-year style of walking," j replied his friend, I “The thunder it is!” said the Cherry | Creeker. “I thought maybe alio bad stubbed her too.” CAST-IRON DICTIONARY.

But they say that strongdrink dims the eye and whitens the cheeks and enfeebles tbe frame ; therefore I will not drink at all. I would like to have a clear mind, so that I may be able to think great things and serve God, and do good to others, and prepare to die, But they say that strong drink clouds the mind, aud often destroys it; therefore I will not drink at all. I would like to have a peaceful heart and a quiet conscience, so that I may be happy while I am here. But they say that strong drink fills many a heart with misery, and implants in many'conscience a string; therefore I will not drink at all. I would like to have a quiet home and a happy fireside, where I could rejoice witli loveing brothers, and sis ters, aud parents. But they say that strong drink makes ten thousand homes wretched and miserable ; there fore I will not drink at all. A SLIPPERY PLACE. A Chicago deacon sat down so fer vently on the sidewalk one slippery day last winter that the sparks flew from his false teeth like thoes from a scisaor grinder’s wheel, just as a young mail with a round fur cap, a waxed and dyed moustache, and an ulster overcoat, passed safely by with tiie charitable re ■ markw “The old man’s drunk again.” IFhen the deacon got home turned up his Bible, and reading to his wife this text, “The wicked stand on slip pery places,” said— ‘•Saraanth, I am more than ever con vinced of the truth of this blessed book, but I would have been a set of teeth and a pair of pantaloons ahead if I had been a sou of Belial this morning,” A Tragic Story. — JPhen Seth got home from raackerelling he sought his Sarah Ann, and found that she, the heartless one, had found another man. And then most awful tight he got, and so he went away, and bound himself to cut live oak all down in Floriday. He pined upon the live oak laud, he mur mured in the shades; his axe grew heavy in his hand, all in the wildwood glades. Mosquitoes bit him everywhere uo comfort did he get, and how terribly he’d swear whenever he got bit. At last, despairing of relief, and wishing himself dead, he went into the woods a piece and chopped off his own head TRAVELING ON THE FARM. Did any of your readers ever think of the amount of travel it takes to raise a crop of corn? I never saw an iulus tration in print, and 1 thought I would give vou one. I have a twenty-acre field, forty by eight rods. To break this up would take one hundred and six ty-six miles. Harrowing it, about forty miles, it with a planter ; and it dropped and then covered, ninety miles. And for eaoh plowing of two furrows in a row, ninety miles, or fivo plowings,. four hundred and fifty miles. Thus you will see that it takes about eight or nine hundred miles of travel to raise twenty acres of corn, no - , counting go ing to and returning to the field. Be sides there is replanting, thinning, roll ing, etc. —lndiana Farmer. REAL SOUTHERN OUTRAGES. Condition of Affairs in Some Sections of the South. [Now York World, j The deraagouges who have represon ted the Southern white as a bloodthirs ty wolf, and the Southern negro as a suffering lamb without spot or blemish, have been fed a good deal of late on rattailed files. The desperate politi cal riot in Charleston, tho murderous assaults in Ouachita Parish, tho many instances of intimidation recently de tailed in these colums, sufficiently show from which race political violence may be expected in th‘s campaign. A white man, protectiug helples3 people j from a howling mob, is the first victim iof political intolerance in the South. J But it is not in tho matter ot politics that the Southern white man has cause to fear the negro. Doubtless he will be able to take care of his own inter ests in that respect, aud of the inter ests of those who have intrusted their lives and fortunes to his care. It is against midnight arson and murder and outrage upon the unprotected women of his household that, waking and sleep ing, the American white man of the South must now be always ready to act. The Southern press is filled with the shocking details of these crimes, and it I may be fairly said that no planter in I South Carolina or Louisiana knows ' from day to day that his gins and his mills will not be in smouldering ruins before the morning shall dawn ; no fath er or hU'ba.id knows, when leaving his firciid, if far from, neighbors and help, that he will not return to find his wife or daughter dead or worse than dead ; no woman can safely traverse any lone ly path without a terrible fear to haunt and hurry her steps. This is no exag eration. Any reade of the daily' press needs only to keep his eyes open to learn the awful truth. The colums of the IForld, during the last few days, have contained accounts of these bestial outbreaks—among them the story' of a young maiden, the daughter of a Chris tian minister, whose pure life has been made a lasting borrow by- a crime wor thy of the Turks in Bulgaria. Small wonder, then, at the excitement which is reported to us this morning as exist ing in South Carolina around the scenes of two more such attempted outrages. In the negro arsenal at Hamburg there were three or four arm ed blacks whose complicity in aa as sault upon a yonng girl of the vicinity was more than suspected. Before that fatal hour she had been a fresh-faced and free-hearted child,the daughter of a gallant soldier, now' she roam3 purpose less about her desolete borne, mind and body alike wrecked forever. Fancy the face of that crazed child, as a father sees and shudders at it, white men of the North, and then ask yourselves what creatures they are who for the sake of power and office, here in the North, can brand a fathers vengenc for such a deed as violenc and lawlessness 1 SELF-RELIANCE. Fight your own battles. Iloe your own row. Ask no favors of any one, and you will succeed five thousand times better than one who is always be seeching some one’s patronage. No one will ever help you as you help your self, because no one will be so heartily interested in your affairs. .The first will not be such a long one. prehaps , but carving your own way up the moun tain, you make each one lead to anoth ue, and stand firm in that while you chop still another out. Men who have fortunes are not those who had $5,000 giv 3ii to them to start with, but start ed fair with a well-earned dollar or two. Men who have by their own exertions acquired fame, have not been thrust in to popularity by puffs begged or paid for, or given in friendly spirit. They have outstreched their hands and touch ed the public heart. Men who win love do their own wooing, and I never knew a man to fail so signally as one who had induced his effectionate grandmamma to speak a word for him. r'Fhetheryou work for fame, for love, for money, or for any things else, work with j’our hands, heart and brain.

Mixed Husbandry. —This ‘system of farming affbards opportunities for ucilzing products that would otherwise bo wasted, reduces the cost of market ing by concentrating values, tends to increase the productiveness of the farm, which and guards against th disasters to special farming is exposed from fluctuations in market Dairying. —requires but small amount of capital, demans less labor, teams, and machinery than most branches, provides profitable employment for both the male and female meinbersoftho fam ily, keeps up the fertility of the land, concentrates the values of other farm products, and its products cen bo put in market at favorable sesons and com paratively small cost. Stock liaising. This business, as is claimed, brings the most money for tho least work: obviates the difficulties of scarcity and unreliability of labor; does not wear out but enriches the land ; turns grass into money without tho cost of making it into hay ; can bo sent to market on foot, independent of rail roads ; induces a better tillage of small er areas so as to gel larger crops, and leave other lands for the grazing, and generally allows of a ready realization of profits. Market Gardening. ThU system is limited to agricultural localities which have quick and easy access to market: under the proper facilities it pays a good profit, but it repiiros much kmwle igi of special subjects, and of tho necessi ties of tho markets Fruit rowing requires lass labor an l mschinoary than other kin U of farm ing. exhausts the soil but littlo ,au l us uatly pays well. It however requires special knowledge, an l constant atten tion to minutiie. that tho best results may be realized. ~U. S. Ag. Dept Rep. Messrs.
