From Home and Farm.
Oats, Com, Bermuda Grass.
It is - not too late yet to urge upon
readers of Home and Farm to sow
largely of oats. Remember that
oats saves corn; that oats are, in
every respect, equal to corn for
work stock, that a regular corn diet
for months at a time, is not a wise
policy. Remember, too, that oats
are raised with much less labor
and expense than corn, and that the
land can then be pastured by stock,
and then sown to peas for hay. The
peas will improve the land, and put
it in fine condition for almost any
crop. The red oats is the only re
liable kind to sow in this climate.
The fall is decidedly the best time
to sow them; but oftentimes fine
crops are harvested from January
and February sowings. After the
oats have been harvested, if one
does not care to pasture the land or
plow and sow down to peas, he can
let the crab grass grow, and harvest
a crop of hay. A farmer in ^neigh
boring county did this, year before
last, and after selling enough hay
to pay for his reaper, had ample
left to carry his stock through the
winter. He cut the hay with his
reaper. Others could do as he did
if they chose. We feed too much
corn and too little grass to our
work animals to insure their health.
Corn is expensive. We heard a
farmer and stock man remark a few
weeks ago, that a good Bermuda
pasture was equaf to a big crib full
of corn, for horses and mules during
six or seven months in the year.
The same gentleman keeps several
head of horses, which are in daily
use, are sleek and fat nearly always
during the growth of Bermuda
grass. They are turned upon the
grass when idle, and always at
night. For six months in the year
they never receive, grain of any
kind whatever.
It will pay every farmer to have
his Bermuda grass pasture where
the work animals can be turned in
when idle and at night. This will
save corn and insure fat, healthy
animals. For a grass, Bermuda
seems very strengthening to stock,
and is the best grtss we know of to
put flesh on stock. There is no
grass in the world perhaps, that has
more good points than Bermuda.
It stands drouth better than any
other. None other will furnish
more grazing per acre, or better
grazing. It grows on all variety
of soil—rich, poor, dry, wet. For
low lands, subject to overflow, it is
invaluable. A gentleman at Oak
ley, La., writes us that he has
known it to be covered with water
ten to fifteen feet deep during sev
eral months’ duration, in the Mis
sissippi bottoms, and the water did
not injure it. There are few gra
sses, if any, of agricultural value,
that would stand such a severe test
so successfully. No grass that we
know of will sustain more stock
per acre. No amount of tramping
in wet or dry weather seems to in
jure it. The sod is close, compact,
and so tough that the hoofs of stock
will not cut it up. Once a field is
sodded it is sodded forever, if prop
erly managed. It is easily propa
gated from the roots and makes a
very rapid growth the first season.
The sun never gets too hot for it,
the drouth, however severe, will
never destroy it. The yield of hay
on rich land is simply enormous,
yet the grass may not be very tall.
For the same height, no grass in
the world will produce as much
hay. It matters not how short it is if
it is high enough to cut at all with a
mower, then is the time to mow it.
The younger the grass the better
the hay. If it is permitted to grow
to its full height on rich land, it be
comes more or less tough, which
greatly detracts from its value as
hay. Better to mow several times,
and get a nice, tender hay, than
once, and secure the same quantity,
but of inferior quality. Sometimes
the grass is so short that it would
seem to one unfamiliar with mow
ing it, that it was time misspent in
attempting such a thing, yet perso
nal experience will show labor well
spent. To insure the best pasture,
the grass should lie frequently
mowed. Mow one-half of a Ber
muda pasture, and you will find
that the stock will not touch the
unmowed portion as long as they
can secure a bite from the other.
Let stockmen try this experiment
for themselves, and they will lie
pleased with the result.
A man was quietly munching on
a piece of a pie in a saloon, on Fri
day, when a look of distress sud
denly displaced the serene expres
sion on his face. Taking some
thing from his teeth, and looking at
it he cried to the waiter: “Here,
you! There’s a stone I found in
this pie.” The waiter took it, glan
ced at it critically, and handing it
back, briefly said: “It’s no good to
us; you can have it.”

The Chestnut.
The chestnut tree is valuable for
several purposes, says a newspaper
writer, and now that there is con
siderable interest arising in the
planting of timber,1t may be worth
while to learn something of this
tree. By reference to the market
reports of lumber, it will be found
that chestnut timber is worth $40
per 1,000 feet. Counting the sawing
at $4 to $6 per 1,000 feet, it leaves
the value of an ordinary-sized chest
nut tree to be about $18, allowing
only 500 feet of timber to each one.
As it is easy for forty trees to grow
upon an acre, which would bring
them 83 feet apart, an acre of fairly-
grown chestnut timber would be
worth, standing, $720, for the limbs
and tops alone would be worth for
firewood is much as the cost of fell
ing and sawing the tree, and the
$720 would represent the actual
value of the logs. But this is not
the whole, by any means. A chest
nut tree begins to bear at the age
of 8 years, and every year will pay
in its fruit the interest on the land
at the rate of $200 per acre at 7 per
cent interest. The nuts just now are
worth $10 per bushel. They are
scarce and high this year, but the
average price is quite $3 per bushel.
Allowing half a peck only to a tree
properly attended to and growing
in groves at a distance of 33 feet
apart, this would give five bushels
per acre and a yearly income of
$15 without cost more than picking
up the nuts. By a little care in kil
ling off the chestnut moth, which
injures the fruit by depositing its
eggs in it and producing the worms
which bore the fruit, a higher price
could be procured for the nuts, for
which there is an extensive de
mand. So that the tree will begin
to pay a yeariy income after eight
years, and this will gradually in
crease as the tree grows larger and
will finally yield a handsome sum
of money when hut 20 years old. If
intended to be cut at that time they
may be planted 20 feet apart, and a
hundred trees may be grown upon
an acre. No replanting is necessa
ry. The trees sprout from the
stump very freely, and a considera
ble sum may be made after five or
six years from the poles which can
be thinned out. Is there anymore
valuable tree than this for the far
mer who has land out of cultivation
to plant for profit?
The Fulton county grand jury
recognizes the great evil of dishon
est tax returns, and makes the fol
lowing earnest and honest deliver
ance on the subject: .“We have de
voted considerable time to the ex
amination of the tax digest, and we
find that while many citizens have,
in our opinion, returned their land
at fair valuation, very many others
have returned their lands at prices
far below their value. These in
stances are of such frequent occur
rence that we think some remedy
should be provided by an act of the
legislature, looking to the correc
tion of this evil, and no solution oc
curs to us as likely to be so efficient
as the enactment of a general law
creating assessors for all real estate
in each county in the state, thereby
equalizing the rate of value for tax
ation throughout the state, and we
respectfully recommend such legis
lation.”
