SOWING SMALL GRAIN.
I nder the pressure or a much dimin
• if? supply, the scarcity of corn
ami forage for work animals in a "-eat
portion of tlio Southern and-Wester,
producing States, much will be fcai ,i aiM
written about the absolute necessity of
iow.ng extensively of small grain. Our
journals of agriculture, and press gener-
Mly, will teem with advice and warning

pn-perlyan.reconomically, this supply
oty wage could lie secured. This work
ot constant writing and advice would be
amply repaid and encouraged in an ex
hibition of plenty ot these products at
the right time and with little or less ex
penditure of seed, labor and time than
will be given to this work.
.Sowing gram, unforfunatelv with most
tanners, means just that ojd careless,
-lOVenly manner of scattering the costly
-.e(Mt and turning them uqder, eon,soiling
themselves that they .have done the
auric, and expect a return of a crop, by
accident, perhaps; for it is ;.n accident
it they make a part of a crop,.with weeds
|md turf, all half broken, turned over the
seed, with an ancient plow; running two
when under the surface. Unfortunate
these fanners, least fitted with imple
ie nts'of cult.vation, and ijiost indiiler
cntas to work, are tlio veiv ones who
need most supplies, and-journals and
oapera dont reach themf or if told of
the value of time and lahoj in nuttin -
m grain properly, wil sav, “This is tao
mm h trouble and expense, I will slap
it in as my either did, and let it do what
it will. Th#cultivation of grain on thin
r cxlvuasted land in this way is more
than a loss of work, and had better he
left alone,
Even on thin soil, with good preiiara
uion and flic seed put in p-dperpy, citlior
1 nrnod in with a plow inter wards or put
in with a cultivator or harrow, and the
the land Vp rnoothe by tlie harrow will
■n i .air return, if done in the
1 months.
. “Ur writer 1 ygsto offer the following
*' i** ienc® for years pastf in making most
' i rye and oats as r food for work ani
"kiK saving space of ground, work and
much labor and harvesting, preparing
best lots, or small areas of ■ land using
v-ither eoiton seed or a fertilizer Ononom
; :dir on the plowed surface; The seed
ate distributed as follows: Nptless than
two ad ft half bushels of oats or One and
i lialf bushels of rve per note. A culti
vaitor is then dragged ovot ‘tjiis and a
|i arrow across the eultivfetdr way. This
loaves the laud in Smooth, beatitiful or
der for the cradle, scythe blade, or mow
or or reaper. When the rye, which i
"( largo enough to food, is ready, stock
iven a little green every dav. As
ns tho rye is in full bloom—still the
f da!!\ green—before seed are formed,
put the mower into it and make rye bay.
Did you ever mow and'Save yye bay? It
only requires one bright, sunlit day in
our beautiful Southern May climate to
cure rye. l\.tke it up topsy-turv* Svith
your horse rake, and haul it in or stack
if for future immediate use. Now, soon
the oats are in bloom, and your horses
and mules much meter this food, cut
philst green, a -little every day. When
il:c seed arc; an a dough state, and fhe
Palk is still green, put tlie mower
jhrotigh, and make‘hay of this, usinS
jiorsc fake like in the rye—no bindin3
h) sheaves, ft takes two days of sun to
ci]rc oats into' hay. A\ itli tins oat hav,
on got com rani fodde r, and if
much of it your horses won’t need corn
or fodder.. They will quit this latter
mod and oat tho oat hay, not leaving a
stalk of it. Creep and svjreet; you have
cured in the stalk all the elements of per
fect food, in good dilution, that would
have been manufactured up into seed,
"hen Ibo stalk would he worthless.
Your rye hay may now rest till fall or
" inter, when your horses will consume,
with a little corn, every sprig of this,
kou will have enough of grain in parts
,oi your patch to mature for seed, to he
;ut and put in bundles for seed, at the
proper time. 1 was driven to this plan
to avoid, annually, a loss'of a part, oral!,
of my oat erop. Just as my grain was
i ineuing and seed perfecting, annually,
i found rust oil my out stalks. Now, the
' a km my climate is always unhealthy
ar this particular time, and a rain wets
it like paper, and the least wind 1 edges
it. The grain all falls down. A dry
1 ime is absolutely necessary to save mV
r\pe grain. ta; at the period above
mentioned, I never lose my oat crop. I
.Wt all and in most healthy order, for the
disease has not exhibited itself at this
period. Only occasionally you see a
little rust ai the bottom of the stalk.
N'ow, a small area of wheat treated and
|ea in the same way help's along, and
'i' fatten or. it when in the green or
1 v agh tale. Someone will sav: ‘♦But
n’t you injure your land by th'is plan ?”
* only take in dilution, perhaps, the same
* .yunt of potash, phophato lime, or
'lurch, or gluten, that would have been
'jtored up ui th * ripe seed. But suppose
