The following hit of sensible advice we find in the Quitman Press: “There is no question about it, tons of hay arc annually lost throughout the south by failure to cut and cure cral) grass, which is destroyed as a nuisance. Instead of plowing this grass uuder, sharpen your hoe and cut it level with the ground, cure it and stow away iu the barn. It is a nutritious grass, and will go far to wards meeting the wants ol horses and cows in the winter.” Wc commend it to Thomas county farmers. - Mr. James T.
