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|*- citic microbes into the system, but the ob 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 perature. “Browning” oranges grown in the West Indies and Mexico, so that they shall pass muster a* real Florida fruit, is the device of an enterprising Yankee. The process con sists of putting the fruit into a largo sieve and posting it over a hot fire until the oranges contained therein are sufficiently scorched, technically “browned,” to give them the tame Florida tinge, which is pecu- liar to that delicious orange. The ••browned” fruit is mostly shiptied North and A Vest.

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 or not. • jj <ni' Roug^ryb'Piles.” 1 Why suffer piles?
