Seeding with Oats.
H. Stewart, of North Carolina, writes to
the Country Gentleman on how to get a
good crop of oats and a good stand of clover
at the same time. He says: ‘‘l remember a
crop of oats I grew in Pennsylvania in 1864;
on reference to my record I find ten acres
gave me 783 bushels, measured from the
threshing machine. The straw was 5 feet
tall and the. grain weighed 47 pounds to the
bushel. This was from seed I procured from
Scotland, called the Angus oats. The land
was well manured in February. Twenty
large sled-loads per aero were spread on the
snow and left until April, when it was
plowed under with 37-inch lap furrow, laid
so that the soil and the manure laid in alter
nate layers, sloping 45’. A thorough har
rowing mixed the manure and soil very
sveuly, and the seed was sown right after
the harrow, and immediately covered in,
witn a second harrow following the sowing.
The harrowing, I remember, was very thor
oughly done, lapping two-thirds every turn,
so that the ground was stirred three times.
While the first harrow was getting ahead
and making room for more oats, I went back
and soiled the clover and grass seed on the
fresh, mellow soil. I was then an advocate—
as I am now —of liberal sowing and used a
peck of each to the acre.
The oats were sown at the rate of two
bushels to the acre, just twenty bushels on
the ten acres. When the oats were cut ti e
p ground was covered green with clover, not
i spear of timothy was to be seen, and it
was pastured off by a flock of sheep, off and
on, until the winter. The next year I made
twenty-five tons of hay, estimated in the
hay shed at 700 cubic feet solidly packed 16
feet high in the shed, for a ton. The timothy
scarcely showed, the clover was so rank,
until the third year.
The same year I sowed timothy and clover
on July 12 with buckwheat, and had an ex
cellent catch, much better than I had the
year after on fall wheat, seeded in a late
snow in April.
Since then I have frequently sown clover
alone, and with timothy and orchard grass,
with oats, and never had a failure. Two
years ago I sowed clover and timothy with
jats here in North Carolina, and the next
fall Prof Roberts, of Cornell Agricultural
College, was here and saw the clover, and
thought it as good as any he had seen else
where. Last summer from two and one
balf acres I cut seven loads, about half a ton
each, of hay the first cutting, and four the
second cutting, and left a heavy aftermath
on the ground. Four years ago I sowed
twenty acres of clover and timothy with
buckwheat here in North Carolina, and never
had a better catch. The first cutting was
rather light on account of an unexampled
dry time; but last summer the yield was a
full one, and this spring the field looks prom
ising fora third excellent crop. I have just
finished seeding an eight-acre field of oats
with clover and mixed grasses, and the
young oats and clover both promise to turn
out verv satisfactorily. 1 have sown clover
with millet in July, with turnips in August,
and am now getting about ten acres ready
to sow with millet and seed with clover, or
chard grass and meadow fescue in June, and
some newly cleared land will be sown with
buckwheat and seeded -with clover in July.
Thus' I have, I think, very fully tried the
possibilities of sowing clover with various
crops, and am able to say that there is noth
ing in the oat crop—or any other crop—itself
to prevent the successful seeding of clover
with it.
My observation, for many years, has been
that no other frop is so poorly managed as
oats. The corn stubble, exhausted by the
coni crop is roughly plowed, poorly har
rowed and the oats barely covered. One can
not justly look for oats to succeed with this
treatment. 1 have long ago made up my
mind, and so expressed myself in these col
umns several years ago, that oats were an
exhaustive crop. And so it is, if 70 or 75
bushels pej- acre, weighing 40 to 45 pounds
are taken from the land. With such an ex
haustive crop, taking more from the land
than 50 bushels of wheat per acre, the soil
must be rich and thoroughly well tilled to
have anything to spare for a crop of clover
and grass. I have found that clover will
not grow on poor soil; that it cannot get
something from nothing any more than other
crops, and if a farmer expects to get a good
stand ©t clover with oats he must treat the
oats exceedingly well, and at least as well us
a wheat crop is used when that is sown down
with clover and grass. But with an ordi
nary crop of oats, of say 45 or 50 bushels
per acre, the soil is exhausted of about the
same amount of fertility as by 30 bushels of
wheat. Few farmers think of munuring the
land for oats. Now, anything I have learned
is that it pays to feed every crop in some
way or other, either by manure or fertilizers,
or by pasturing sheep or by plowing i a clover.
It is a fortunate thing that we are so well
supplied with fertilizers, so that every crop
may get some nutriment to enable it to liv e
and grow profitably. Much is written and
U** about the poor business of farming. No
doubt much of it is true. But there is a
nswison for it. The farmers sue not liberal
enough with their land. “The liberal soul
shall be made fat,” said Kolomon, and mod
ern fanners should make this a guiding and
controlling principle in their work, espe
cially when they want to seed down grass
and clover with oats, or with any other crop,
for clover at least requires to Is* fed until its
large, long roots are able to find food for
itself, and in poor toil it perishes long before
it has a root of any considerable size or is
able to go down a foot into the soil.
Hay in Florida.
There appeal's to be an impression that
grasses suitable for making hay cannot la*
successfully grown in Florida, The Florid
ion says that Mr. John B. Davids left at that
office a couple of bunches of the famous
“Johnson Grass,” which he is cultivating.
Mr. Davids went to Leon county a few years
ngo from New York State, and purchased a
farm four miles west of Tallahassee, for the
purpose of establishing a hay farm. He
spent a large amount of work in clearing
and preparing the land for cultivation, and
he is now reaping the fruit of his labor. Ho
has at present 101 acres in Johnson grass,
which he began to cut about May 15, and
had 75 acres cut by Jnnl 1. This grass
iprings from its own roots and Mr. Davids
will harvest it three or four times a year
nd net a crop of not less than 300 tons of
txcelleut hay. He lias all the buildings and
machinery necessary for the perfect han
dling and curing of his crops—such as mow
trs, teddoi*B, - rakes, hay loaders, etc. His
loader has a capacity of a ton every five
minutes. His barn, which by the way was
built from timber cut upon the place, is 107
x 631-2 feet and 37 1-2 feet in height, and has
a capacity of 050 tons of loose hay. In the
barn is found all the necessary machinery
for baling and marketing any sized crop. A
tram railway will be constructed from the
bam to the railway, and Mr. Davids will
place his own box ears upon its track.
Johnson grass is undoubtedly the best hay
and pasture grass that can be raised in Flor
ida. It grows about three feet high and
every inch of it is digestible, there being
absolutely no woody fibre, and as a hay and
pasture grass it has been proven by analysis
to be 20 per cent, better than the best timo
thy. After a stand has been secured it will
last several years before renewal, rinsing
three or four crops a year. It is seeded in
the fall or spring, and in Florida is harvest
ed nearly the year round.
The Onion.
If the onion comes in for a good deal of
good-natured übuse because of the odor that
lingers, it also is entitled to the highest
praises for its real value among kitchen ve
getables. Containing, as it does, much ni
trogenous matter, with a good deal of sugar
and a pungent oil, it is, to say the least, very
nutritious. Boiling dissipates the odorous
oil of the onion freely, as every one who is
about where the cooking is done knows and
also makes them less acrid.
The growing of this vegetable is one of the
important industries of the farm. If timely
attention is given to cultivation reasonable
success may be anticipated and the returns
will prove remunerative. Almost any good
soil will grow good onions, although as a
rule, for ease of culture, a sandy loam is
preferred. The soil should be made rich by
a liberal application of thoroughly decom
posed manure or compost. If the manure
is applied in the fall upon the surface, after
it is plowed, the crop can usually be planted
earlier in the spring. As the crop is a sur
face crop but little depth is required in plow
ing. As soon as the soil can be worked in
the spring, if plowing was done in the fall,
work in the manure by means of a cultiva
tor or some suitable harrow. The surface
should be carefully raked over, so as to com
pletely pulverize the soil for the reception of
the seed, and when this is thoroughly done
the after cultivation will be much easier.
The seed drill will do excellent work in plant
ing the seed, which should be in rows from
eight to twelve inches apart. As soon as the
young plants are up so as to show the rows,
use the w heel hoe, cutting as close to the
rows as can be done conveniently without
injury to the plants. A few days later re
move every weed from the rows by means
of the fingers or some haud implement for
that purpose, aud then the future culture
can nearly all be doue with the wheel hoe.
As soon as the tops begin to lop down in the
fall, pull and let lie till dry, when the tops
may be cut and the onions sent to market or
put in some cool dry building for curing
preparatory to winter storing, which should
be in a cool dry cellar. Onions can usually
be sold readily at a remunerative price for
cash.
Seedlings and Budded Oranges.
Mr. W.'C. Steele, of Switzerland, Fla., in
a communication to the Florida Dispatch ,
says while it is true that some varieties
which have been originated from seed in
Florida, are equal, if not superior, to most
of the foreign varieties, yet, taken as a
whole, seedling groves do not produce crops
of such fruit. It is impossible to reproduce
any variety from the seed, the fruit of seed
ling trees will always vary more or less.
The crop from a seedling grove is never so
perfectly uniform in appearance as that
from budded trees while the difference in
quality is still more marked. When a de
sirable variety is originated from the seed
and it is desired to perpetuate aud plant it
largely for market you cannot depend upon
seedlings, but must have recourse to bud
ding.
It is by no means proven to be a fact that
budded trees will not make as large trees, in
time, as seedlings, though owing to their
profuse fruitfulness at an early age tl < y
will be slower in reaching a large size. Yet
if they are smaller it is then only necessary
to plant the trees a little closer to have a
bearing surface equal to the seedlings.
As to the buddedstrees being shorter lived,
that is another unproven assertion, with the
probabilities strongly in favor of the budded
trees, provided good, healthy stocks were
used. Budded trees wenf through the severe
freeze of Janary, 1886, in quite as good con
dition as the seedlings,
It is no argument against budded trees tn
say that the fruit from many budded groves
is no better in quality than that from seed
ling trees. ’
Look Out for Comfort Materials.
It Is a fact that Southern farmers are not
as careful as they might be in saving all the
materials which are within easy reach of
them, and which may be had for the trouble
of getting, which will make good manure.
The Southern Cultivator, for instance, calls
attention to the fact that pine straw con
tains notable quantities of all the mineral
ingredients required by useful crops, there
being a remarkable deficiency only of soda.
By means of pine straw*, properly applied,
we can replace the drain on the soil caused
by exhaustive crops. The producing powers
of r field for cotton, for example, could be
sustained ami the soil even improved, if, for
every baleof cotton raised, we should return
to it 1.400 to 1,500 pounds of pine straw and
a few handfulls of common salt, provided
only tlicit the stalk and seed be conscien
tiously returned. Corn, wheat and oats
would require a somewhat larger amount of
straw and the addition besides of salt and
ten to twenty-five pounds of superphosphate
of lime.
The fl eshly fallen straw must be allowed
to decay in the compost pile, mixed with
lime or calcareous marls, ashes and the like
substances which promote demy, but not
plaster of Baris in any large quantity. Pino
hollow muck, marsh mud, etc., will also be
useful in composting.
Househqld.
Sou bisk Sauce.— Slice lour medium-sized
onions und put them into a saucepan with a
little butter, pepper, ealt aud grated nutmeg.
Cover the pan, set, it over a slow fire and let
the onions steam until they are solt, lieing
careful that they do not become brow'ti or in
the least colored When they are soft dredge
them with flour and add a freshly boiled
mashed potato and n half-pint of milk. Stir
the whole well over the fire und when the
sauce is smooth rub it through a coarse sieve.
Again return it to the saucepan, just before
serving, and allow it to heat over the tire
without boiling.
Fig Preserves.— Gather fruit when fully
ripe but not cracked open; placo in a perfo
rated Tin bucket or wire basket and dip for
one moment into a deep kettle of hot and
moderately strong lye (some prefer letting
them lie ah hour in lime water and after
wards drain); make a syrup in proportion of
one pound sugar to one of fruit, and when
the figs are well drained put them in the
syrup and boil them until well cooked; re
moving. I mil the syrup down until there is
just enough to cover the fruit; put the fruit
back in the syrup, let all lmil and seal while
hot in glass or porcelain jure.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1887.
A Good Recipe for Canning Figs. —To
three quarts boiling water add two heaping
tablespoonfuls soda: now dip your figs in
the water for one minute and skim them out;
then wash them thoroughly in two or three
waters; or until there is no color left in the
w ater. To ten pounds of figs allow eight
pounds sugar; add just enough water to
dissolve the sugar; w hen boiling hot drop in
the figs, having first selected them with care
so as to avoid any that are broken or over
ripe; let them boil slowly two hours; now
remove the figs and lx>il down the syrup
until quite thick; replace the figs; bring all
to a boiling heat; when they are ready for
canning after the usual method. A few
slices of lemon with its juice will improve
its flavor.
Farm Notes.
No invariable rule can be laid down for
the raising of calves on skim milk, and eacli
feeder must make a rule for each calf.
Dampness is bad for young chicks. Ar
range their drinking vessels so that they
cannot get into them, and do not allow them
to run in the wet grass or to be out in a
storm.
To fatten poultry quickly confine the
birds for ten days and feed them on a mix
ture of cornmeal and potatoes four times a
day, with all the wheat and corn they can
eat at night.
It is never good policy to divide a farm in
small fields, for it is waste of lands, waste
of time, and oppressive increase of fencing
that becomes a burdensome tax in construc
tion and maintenance.
Do not let the strawberries mat too thick
ly in the rows. It is better to have the
space between the rows cultivated, and ma
nure worked ill, so as to benefit the crop for
next season. Cut away the runners if they
become too numerous.
Young ducks should bo marketed when
they weigh about 3 pounds each, and may
be sold either alive or dressed, the best prices
being obtained for the dressed carcasses.
The best time for selling young ducks is in
June and July; they should be plump and
fat.
Lice will breed on all classes of animals
and fowls at this season unless the quarters
be kept clean. Dry dirt is one of the best
preventives of lice, especially if used on the
floors, but the stock should Ik* examined oc
casionally. If in good condition, however,
lice do not attack animals readily.
It is much better to watch for the white
butterfly, the parent of the cabbage worm,
and kill it than to have the annoyance of
the worms. It is not so difficult to keep the
cabbages free of worms by killing the but
terflies as may be supposed, though it re
quires constant watchfulness for a while.
Never feed all the cows by a certain meas
ure, giving each cow the same amount as
is given another, as cows differ in their
wants and preference. The cow that is in
full flow of milk should be given all she
may wish to eat, as she will thereby be
better enabled to give a large quantity of
milk.
A clover pasture is of most value for
growing hogs, though very cheap fond for
apart of the ration after the fattening pro
cess Ls begun. During the spring, when
most rapid growth is taking place, an acre
of green clover would furnish green food
for a dozen or more hogs being fed com to
fatten.
Every farmer has noticed the deteriora
tion of oats. The best varieties fall back
after a few years and are little better than
the common oat. More attention might be
profitably given in the seed Two sugges
tions have been made: Thrash the bundles
lightly with a flail and thus get the best
seed; the other, winnow out all the light
oats.
To those who may not be familiar with
collie dogs it may be stated that they will
not drive sheep or cattle unless first trained
to do so, though the supposition on the part
of some is that such dogs perforin the work
by natural instinct. They are more easily
taught to drive stock than any other breed
of dogs, but they will not do so unless;
taught.
The oat is a splendid food for young ani
mals because compared with corn, straw,
etc., it is rich in muscle and bone forming
elements; and also makes it a splendid food
for work animals. Corn should be fed spar
ingly to work animals, during the summer
especially, as it is a heating food. It will pay
to make the grain ration of oats in the morn
ing and at noon.
The influence of the mare in transmitting
hereditary qualities is, as a rule, greatly un
derestimated. The female pedigree of a
horse is almost entirely lost sight of, while
the male is given special prominence. The
best breeders agree that the mare exercises
as potent as influence over the progeny us
the stallion. Especially in the matter of
soundness should the bl eeding mare bo un
objectionable.
John J. Thomas says that the most rapid
way of obtaining a grass crop is to sow tbe
grass seed alone without any grain. If
done early in the spring, on clean, well
prepared ground, we may get a cut of hay
the same year, usually about two-thirds of
a full crop, and a heavy one the second
year. It will make a vast difference
whether we sow plenty of seed or only a
small quantity.
A writer in the Henderson Journal, who
has cultivated broom-corn for eleven years,
says that the same amount of labor that will
produce three acres of tobacco will produce
twenty of broom-corn. Estimating both
crops at sc. per pound, the good, lugs and
trash are worth #l5O, while twenty acres of
broom-corn at #25 per acre are worth SSOO.
Besides, on every 500 pounds of broom-corn
you will get 1,000 pounds of seed, which are
worth more than the same number of
pounds of oats.
In regard to cutting jiotatoes a very large
number of experiments have proved that
whole potatoes are best for warm, high land,
and for very early potatoes they will not
only yield enough more to pay the extra
cost of the seed, but will produce a crop
from a week to ten days earlier than cut po
tatoes, which will sometimes make a dif
ference in price of from 50c. to $1 a bushel.
But on rich, moist land the difference be
tween whole and cut potatoes is not so
great. In the first place, on a rich, moist
soil it is not so important to secure an early
vigorous growth as it is on u warm, dry soil,
and, in the second place, not being planted
so deep below the surrounding land, there
isa greater tendency to the production of a
large number of stalks than on dry land, but
as a rule even on low laud it would be better
to plant a medium-sized potato whole.

It 1m generally supposed that no pneumonia
is due to the accidental penetration of k|*-

servations of M. Jneeoud. a French student
of the subject, show that the disease really
results from the development under fuvora
hie conditions of microbic germs perma
nently present in the system. A chief con
dition of such development is a sudden chill,
which explains the frequent coincidence of
lung affections with abrupt changes of tem

“Browning” oranges grown in the West

Gunmaker Maxim and the Czar.
From the Pall Mall liasette •
Mri Maxim received a very Cordial wel
eoirie-at the Russian capital, aud he had but
little difficulty in convincing the Minister
of War—whose name hcderlares it is quite
impossible for any Anglo-Saxon to pronounce
without dislocating his jaw—of the advan
tages of his machine gun. At present he
has only built guns to suit the English
cartridge. He has undertaken to build a
gun to suit the Muscovite ammunition, for
the cartridge is the soul of the gun.
The chief interests of his visit, however,
centred in his excursion to Gutsehinn and
his reception by the Czar. Mr. Maxim was
to have taken his gun to the palace, but on
arriving at the station the Minister of War
begged him not to take the gun through.
He said that the Emperor was very much
pressed with business; they had no end of
papers for him to read through and sign,
ana if Mr. Maxim were once to get his gun
into the Imperial presence all hopes of get
ting any business done would disappear; for
the Emperor took so keen an interest in all
such matters that he was apt to become
absorbed in them to tlie detriment of other
husinces which the Minister did not wish to
have postponed. Mr. Maxim reluctantly
consented to leave his gun behind, and w ent
to Uatschinn armed with nothing but an
album of photographs.
On arriving at Gatschina he was ushered
into a waiting room, comfortably furnished,
where a capital dinner was served him and
he was waited upon by a regiment of
officials in elaborate uniforms. After he
had refreshed himself and made his toilets
be was conducted by one high functionary
through endless passages and handed over
to the care of aides-de-camp, who after a
little parley ushered him into the Imperial
presence. The (*zar stepped forward and
greeted him kindly and introduced him to
the Grand Duke Michael, who was present
at the interview.
Mr. Maxim was much impressed with the
palace of the Czar. He describes Alexander
111. hs being nman’of Imperial presence, tall,
stately, not in the least degree corpulent,
with an eye as clear as if he had been, like
Mr.Muxifi himself, a teetotaler of the State
of Maine. He is slightly inclined to be bald
but is i:i the primo of life, full of vigor and
intelligence. It was impossible to look into
his clear, open countenance without realiz
ing the absurdity of many of the stories
current in the English press. The Grand
Duke Michael is less prepossessing in appear
ance, and a trace of Imperial purple in the
wrong place seemed to imply that he was less
abstemious than the Emperor.
“Where is your gun, Mr. Maxim?’ asked
the Czar.
“I have not brought it,” said Mr. Maxim
in French, “as I feared you would not have
time to look at it.”
The Emperor shrugged his shoulders and
looked at the Grand Duke with an air of
disappointment. Mr. Maxim had it on his
tongue’s end to lay the blame on the War
Minister, who had so sorely against his will
induced him to leave his gun liehind; but
reflecting with shrewd Yankee sagacity
that if lie blamed the War Minister Ins
chances of securing contracts to supply the
Russian army with his automatic machine
gun would materially diminish, he refrained
and made the best shift he could by opening
his album of photographs and describing his
gun, to the Emperor. Never had he a more
interested listener; the Czar questioned him
<4d&|y concerning all the details of his gun
and discussed the whole question with the
rolnse interest of a mechanic.
eicVßut why have you left your own country
t rsjonie to England ?’ asked he.
Maxim explained that as his business
wps to make weapons of destruction it was
ilecefcsarv for him to take up his abode in a
continent where the business of destruction
was the chief occupation of mankind. In
the New World they have something else to
do than to kill each other. Therefore lie
came to the Old World, where instruments
of slaughter w*ere in request. The Czar
laughed and continued his inquiries about
the gun.
The conversation, which began in French,
was soon changed to English, which t lie
Czar spoke with ease and accuracy, but
with a foreign accent. Mr. Maxim promised
to come back again in the autumn, and bring
w*ith him a gun adapted to the Russian
cartridge. After some further friendly re
marks, in the course of which the Czar
recommended his visitor to beware of tak
ing too much brandy—“little knowing,”
said Mr. Maxim, “that, he was talking to
a blue-blooded, down-east-coast State of
Maine teetotaller”—the interview came to
an end. It had lasted nearly tfcree*quarters
of an hour.
Bazaine Talked With.
Ports Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph.
Ex-Marshal Bazainc is slowly recovering
from the wound lately inflicted upon him by
Hillairaud; but, according to the account of
a jierson who has lately seen him, the attack
may have the effect of impairing his reason.
The sufferer’s report of the affair is that ho
received his would-be assassin as the corre
spondent of a newspaper, Hillnraud having
announced himself in that capacity. He
thought at first that the man was an appli
cant, for alms, like many Frenchmen at
Madrid, who continually ask him for help,
which he gives, ns they are poorer than
himself. In further couYersation with his
recent visitor Bazainc said he laid come to
think that Hillairaud wax neither a fool nor
a fanatic, but a person who we.nto l to pose
us a patriot, in order to get himself elected
a deputy, ora municipal councilor at least.
In adverting to his own unlucky case tin*
ex-Marshal became rather excited. He said
that lie had come to resign himself during
the past twenty years to his painful fate,
which doomed him to be an obligatory and
enforced victim, a sort of consolatory holo
caust, fora defeat which was inevitable.
He once more insisted that had Marshal
MacMabofi helped him in time things would
have taken a different turn, and he took
credit to himself for having avoided a Ixmi
bardmeiit i.hieh would have caused the de
xtruetkm of thousands of men. Unfortu
nately his countrymen were fickle, und he
bitterly complained that on the day after
the attack which wgs made on his life by
Hillairaud he received n post card front a
Frenchman, who called him therein ail the
villainous epithet* which he had splice to
put together. Asked his opinion as tot ten.
Boulanger and the present situation, the ex
Marshal said that if the chief of the French
viirmy were of a merit which corres]iondod
Ik, it, the popularity to which he had attained
■riliiglit succeed in doing something, but
oßknan was not enough. The wai might
taUfciluoe, and thi French, in his opinion,
were really so fay' is effective lighting
strength went, blit it remained to luf.weti
whether they had changed in toiii|wa*>vut
