In yours gotta tiy mid under (ha old
roylmo tho full months wore glvtm
chiefly to the gathering of tho cotton
crop, and when this work was not
pressing, formers ns n rulo oousidorod
that If they gathered and housed tho
corn nml other crops and packed tholr
pork into tho smokohousos by Christ
mas they woro accomplishing tholr full
duty to tholr families, themselves and
their calling. Under a more progres
sive system, howovor, tho farmer who
allows his Helds to liu bare, exposed to
tho destructive work of tho winter's
storniB and his cattle to shiver in its
chilling blasts, Is regarded as indiffer
ent to his own host interests, and lack
ing in tho most important essentials of
an enlightened agriculturist. Lit us
again repeat that tho fall work oa a
Georgia farm Is as important, If not
more so, than that lu tho spring, when
everything Is lu a rush and nil calling
for attention at the same time. Muon
of this spring rush and voxutlou of spirit
may lie maturlally lightened by thought
ful planning and work now. In thu
comparative leisure of tho fall season,
wo can lay tho foundations for next
yoar's crop,
KALI, PLOWING,
more especially on our heavy lands,
with a rod clay subsoil, not only loos-
ou» uud aerates tho lutid, but permits
* more extended action of tho rains and
frosts which aro sure to comu. Lands
Which lmvo boon doopty plowed in tho
fall receive, and what Is of more Im
portance, retain much of tho wntor
which would otherwise ho washed
away with every heating rain, taking
with it n large umount of tho topsoil,
whose food produuing olomeuls have
to he replaced before wo can expect a
satisfaotory yield of crops, Another
advantage to bo gained by fall and
early winter plowing Is that on many
of our old, cultivated lands thore aro

'VHKAT.
As Indicated last month, the sowing
of this crop should bo regulated us far
as possible to ubout ton days before our
usuut killing frost is expootod. A solu
tion of bluostone, applied to tho seed
by soaking, will destroy tho smut
spores, ami rust can bo in n measure
controlled by selection of sood, judi
cious fertilizing and sowing as soon as
posslblo on well drained, high land,
with a northern exposure. Wheat pre
fers such u situation, and it being ob
served that rust la most dostructlvo in
hot, damp soason*, an early matur
ing varioty should bo soloctod, and
though whoat is a nitrogen ab-
norbiug plant, wo must exorcise judg
ment ns to the quantity of this elo-
mentsupplied. An oxcossivo amount, al
though producing luxuriant growth, is
a promoter of rust. Tbs safest source
from which to ohtntn tiltrogou is n
olovor stubble turned under—-lacking
this, cottonseed meal comes next, or if
profound, tho whole cottonseed.

oan be sown until tho last of Novem
ber, and it cut)not bo too strongly
urged that wo sood down all plowed
land. It not only tends to preserve tho
laud, but is steadily manufacturing
food for our snmiuor crops. On tho
HAllVKftTlNO or TUB COHN CHOP
wo dwelt Homowhat nt longtb last
month, lu the Georgia (date building,
on the grounds of the Cotton States
nml International exposition, at At-
lanta, can bo soon specimens of the
plant saved entire, stalk, fodder, shuck
and onrs, so that no part Is wastod.
When this plan is adopted by ovary
farmoT, It means a saving of about ouo-
fourth tho value of tho corn crop which
is now allowed to waste in tno noias,
besides which tho standing stalks in
terfere very seriously with the harvest
ing of the pea crop and rondor it al
most impossible to put in a wheat crop
as it Hhould bo done, lu thoio days of
low prices for all agricultural products,
it is important that we watch thoso
heretofore noglectod details. Tho
English, tho Gorman and tho French
farmer sots us an example of
thrift and carefulness in nearly all mi
nor details. Tho pains-taking foreign
farmer would bo appalled at tho amount
of waste which is allowod on our ordi
nary farms, even in tho short Bpaco of
one wook. Thoy are so accustomod to
tho oareful gathering and housing of
of ovary product that thoy cannot un
derstand our IndlfT. react) to the de
struction and waste of vuluablo mate
rial.
HAVING OF LATH CHOPS.
All crops of millet, clover, grass, pen-
vines should bo put under shelter ns
soon as possible. Spanish grouudpeus
furnish not only nuts, but tho tops, if
properly cured, make good forago. Tho
Irish and sweet potato crops should bo
gathered before the tops aro entirely
killed, aud it is important to do this
boforo tho rains bogin; for thoy should
bo stored when thoy aw entirely dry.
Assort them ns they aro dug, taking
out. all bruised or cut tubers, nml spread
out to dry out thoroughly, aud do not
make the banks of potatoes whore they
tiro stored, too largo.

on all buildings and stables should bo
attended to boforo tho winter sets in,
and, if possible, whitewash tho latter
inside and out, nftor giving them a
thorough cleaning. Good pastures and
good feed are essoutial to tho proper
keeping of live stock; but this food
will not uinko a profitable return If the
animals aro exposod In cold and wet
suasous. House them comfortably, nnd
thus got a full return in beef or milk,
for the capital invested In these animal
machines.
To get the full value of a p™ crop,
tho host plan Is to cut and cure for hay,
or store in tho silo for ensilage, thou
turn under the stubble. Out. as we
havo had Inquiries os to the best time
for turning under tho ontiro crop, wo
would advise that this bo dono after
tho vines are fully matured. In this
condition thoy decompose more slowly
and aro loss leached away by tho win
ter rains. Tho younger Vinos are very
succulent, decay more rapidly, and
there is more aocldity from their de
composition. Whore the entire crop is
turned under, a top dressing of lime
applied after this Is done will be found
very useful in correcting acidity; it will
also cause to bo formed certain chon •
cat compounds ill the soil, which wi.t
be of valuable assistance In furnishing
plant food for nuothcr crop.
