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.” EW MEXICO. let, G M; 1st Friday in r R Yates, N P-, J »> LOWELL.

Let it boil until if is tender: then add sugar or cream to it. It may be strained or not according to taste. 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.” Jacob, but not Rachel.
