V* UY \\\c vs' C oVvuww. [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. Herndon, Ga. Get out Doors.

In one of the ‘Switzerland land slides a whole I rapt of wood slipped down a hillside and spread over some meadows without uprooting or even injuring the trees, thus converting at one stroke a tract of pasturage into a piece of forest land. The French Minister of War has just effected a minor reform to secure the ready identification of soldiers who may be wounded or killed on the field of battle. For this purpose every man will in future wear a metal plate Suspended from the neck. A house was taken to pieces for re moral, atNegaunee, Mich., arid on the following morning nearly every bit of it was mrssing. A search among twenty-seven families' wood piles solved the mystery, and twenty-seven fines of $lO each were imposed. The latest invention reported by a Japanese journal is that of Otsuka Minakiold, who. after extensive expe riments. is said to have succeeded in making rifles of silk.

The Zoological Garden at Moscow’ is said to be in possession of a horse without hair. It was sent from Turkestan by Gen. Ivaufmann.

Strong efforts are being made, but without much success, to turn the stream of emigration aside from the United States. Canada, on the north, is paying a part of the steamship fares of persons who promise to settle on her lands and Mexico, on the south, failing by other means, has just made a contract for the colonization of 200 Italian families, who will be provided with land, implements, and stock free.

This astronomical portent has often coincided with the death of a ruler of the Celestial empire, and therefore the Emperor Kouang is thought to he in danger of assassina tion. The comet has arrived, too. : t the moment of the publication of a *nndal concerning tiie Empress Re gent. A number of Kansas retail mer chants have signed an agreement to buy no goods through drummers. “In some respects the system is a convenience,” they say in a circular sent to Chicago and St. Louis firms ; “ but your agents occupy too much of our time, and are too little disposed to take no for an answer. We find that they force themselves and their goods upon U3, and have decided to make a stand against them.” In the form of report employed by officers on guard at Gibraltar it is customary to insert, if all has gone as usual, “ N. lb—Nothing extraordina ry.” One day an officer fell down a precipice and was killed, but when the young Scotchman on guard handed in his guard report, “Nothing extra ordinary” appeared on it. An ex pianation being demanded, the reph was: “Aweel, sir, I dinna think there’s anything extraordinary. If he'd faun doon a prefipice 400 feet and not been killed I should hae thought it vara extraordinary, and wad hae put it down in ma report.” According to an English geograph ical writer, there are four vast areas 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 track explored from north to south by I Sluart, and which now forms the line j of telegraphic communication across] that continent. j FIRE PROOF MESSENGER BOXES -i - ■niiiiw-- -yi ii iirtjtMT • rnrnt and Professional’ (limb. tyk. u. b. ada i if, I) KNTTST, June 10—*81.
