[From tho Southern Farmer's Monthly ]
Sowing Small Grain.
Umlcr the pressure of a much di
minished'grain supply, the scarcity of
corn and forage for work animals in
a great portion of the Southern and
Western producing States much will
he said and written about the absolute
necessity of sowing extensively oi
small grain. Our journals of agi icul
lure, and press generally, will teem
wdh advice and warning upon this
most important stop to he taken by
our farmers and planters to save them
selves a famine in stock food during
the ensuing year. It were well this
advice was heeded, and every energy
hunt to have rea<!y at the earliest mo
ment of spring work rye. oats, barley,
wheat to cut and feed green and in
hay form, saving the necessity of buy
iiig corn at twice its value, and prob
ably not to he had at all in some sec
tions. If these notes of warning could
fortunately fall upon the eais of those
most lacking (in their full force) or he
appreciated, and could directions he
followed now properly and economi
cally, this supply of forage could he
secured. This work of constant writ
ing and advice would be amply repaid
and encouraged in an exhibition o!
plenty of these products, at tiie right
time and wit ft little or less expendi
ture of seed, labor and time than will
he given to this work.
Sowing grain, unfortunately with
most farmers, means just that old care
less. slovenly manner of scattering the
costly seed, and turning them under,
consoling themselves that they have
done the work, and expect a return of
a crop, by accident, perhaps ; for it is
an accident if they make a part of a
croj , with weeds and turf, all hail
broken, turned up over the seed, with
an ancient half worn turning plow,
running two inches under the surface.
Unfortunately these farmers, least lit
ted with implements of cultivation,
and most indifferent as to work, are
the very ones who need most supplies
and journals and papers don't reach
them, or if told of the value of time
and labor in putting in grain properly,
will say, “This is too much trouble
and expense. I will slap it in as my
father did, and let it do what it will.”
The cultivation of grain on thin or
exhausted land in this way is more
than a loss of work, and had better be
left alone.
Even on thin soil, with good prepa
ration and tho seed put in properly,
cither turned in with a plow after
wards or put in with a cultivator or
harrow, and the land left smooth by
the harrow, will often make a fair re
turn, if done in the fall months.
Your writer begs to offer the follow
Png experience for years past in mak
ing most of rye and oats as a food for
work animals, saving space of ground,
work and much labor of harvesting,
preparing best lots, or small areas of
land, using either cotton seed or a
fertilizer economically on the plowed
surface. The seed are distributed as
follow s : Not less than two and a half
bushels of oats or one and a half
bushels of rye per acre. A cultivator
is then dragged over this and a liar
row across the cultivator waj'. This
leaves the land in smooth, beautiful
order for the cradle, scythe blade, or
mower or reaper. When the rye,
which is just large enough to foot*, is
ready, stock is given a little green
every (lay. As soon as the rye is in
full bloom—still the stalk is green
before seed arc formed, put the mower
into it and make rye hay. Did you
ever mow and save rye hay ? It only
requires one bright, sunlit day in our
beautiful Southern May climate to
cure rye. liakc it up topsy-turvy with
your horse rake, and haul it in or stack
it for future or immediate use. Now.
soon the oats arc in bloom, and your
horses and mules much prefer this
food, cut whilst green, a little every
day. When the seed arc in a dough
state, and the stalk is still green, put
the mower through, and make hay of
this, using horse rake like in the rye
—no binding in sheaves. It takes
two days of sun to cure oats into haj*.
With this oat hay, you have got corn
and fodder, and if much of it your
horses won't need corn or fodder.
They will quit this latter food and eat
the oat hay, not leaving a stalk of it.
Green and sweet; you have cured in
the stalk all the elements of perfect
100 1, in good dilution, that would have
been manufactured up into seed, when
the stalk would be worthless. Your
r\e hay may now rest till fall or win
ter, when your horses will consume,
with a little corn, every sprig of this.
You will leave enough of cither grain
in parts of tour patch to mature for
seed, to be cut and put in bundles for
see l, at the proper time. I was driven
to this plan to avoid, annually, a loss
of a part, or all, of my oat crop. Just
as my grain was ripening and seed
perfecting, annually, 1 found rust on
iny oat stalks. Now, the stalk in my
climate is always unhealthy at this
particular time, and a rain wets it like
paper, and the least wind lodges it.
The grain all falls down. A dry time
is absolutely necessary to save inv
ripe grain. Cut at the period above
mentioned, I never lose my oat crop.
I got all and in the most healthy order,
for the disease has not exhibited it
self at this period. Only occasionally
you see a little rust at the bottom of
the stalk. Now, a small area of wheat
treated and fed in the same way helps
along, and hogs fatten on it when in
the green or dough state. Someone
will sav : “ Ilut don't you injure your
laud by this plan ?” I only take in
dilution, perhaps, the same amount of
potash, phosphate lime, or starch, or
gluten, that would have been stored
up in the ripe seed. Hut, suppose I
injure the land ? I must only feed it
more ; give back to it by rest and ma
nure.
Small areas of good land treated in
this way are worth as onejto ten of the
ni l sloven way—to cradle all day in
weeds and briars and not make wages,
i have not estimated what a rich acre
of rye or oats will yield in hay treated
in this way. More than the ordinary
richest grass—for these are but luxu-!
riant annual grasses.
of grain in way of green soiling or hav
is desired, the drill system, with the’
manure in the furrow with the grain,
will give it. For early cutting, in De
cember perhaps, certainly in February
iiere. lay off rows three feet apart on
broken surface, and drill in same
amount of seed as for broadcast. Of
rye, oats or wheat, drill in manure or
fertilizer, three hundred pounds per
acre, and cover with a double sCooter.
When the weeds show themselves in
the middles, I put Urn sweep or small
cultivator through. 'This stimulates
the grain, and the growth is "most
wonderfully rapid, giving two or three
cuttings before being expended. Rye
will give three. The largest crops per
acre of grain arc grown by this drill
system. W. JL Jonks.

According to an English geograph

stiil to be opened up or traversed by
civilized man. and which, among them,
constitute about one seventeenth of
the whole area of the globe. Of these,
there is the antarctic region, which in
extent is about sevety five times that
of Great Britain; the second lies
about the north polo; the third is in i
Central Africa, and the fourth in
Western Australia. The south polar
region referred to is almost eontermi- I
nous with the antarctic circle. The
vast .African area reaches on the west
vary’ closely to the coast, and it is
only near the equator that is has more
than superficially been driven inland.
In Australia, the great undeveloped
region is that which lies west of the
