Mixed Ftiruling.
Editors Sochi ern Cultivatok —Few
farmers aio awaro of the advantage of
“mixed farmirg.” I will attempt to
givo some of the advantages.
Ist. Increase of acreage and pro
duction per hand.
“nd. Hotter system of rotation, re
quiring the soil to lie ilevotod loss of
ten to the same product.
3rd. Hotter prices for tiro different
products of the farm.
4th. Tho advantage of having a lit
tle of everything to sell instead of buy
ing.
sth. In giving bettor means m Loep
ing up fertility of soil.
6th. In keeping tho sell in hotter
condition for cultivation and growth
of plants.
7th. In enabling the fanner to plaut,
cultivate and gather his crop at tlio
porper time.
Bth. In giving employment the year
round.
Wo will first consider tho greatest
of delusions, tho “all cotton” mania.
The man that plants nothing but cot
ton, can not cultivate uioro than eight
or ten acres per hand. lie is pressed
to prepare his land and put that in at
the proper time. As regards farming
'operations ho has had nothing to do
up to that time. After planting there
is probably a lull in tho business. Af
ter laying by, a loss of tirno until cot
ton picking, and, although he may
work thirteen months in the year, he will
liavo to hire a groat deal of cotton
picked, which is troublesome and ox
pensive. He-will have a lot of cotton
considerably damaged and wasted in
the field. Hy over production lie will
kavo to sell at a very low juice, lie
will, of courso, have meat, broad, & e.,
to buy, tho demand for which will
cause them to sell high. Ho will con
sequently come out iu dcht. Now, hy
planting ton acres in corn and but fivo
m cotton, his cultivated area would bo
increased live or six acres ; value of
product per hand would bo increased
at least one-third. Work would com
mence earlier in tho year, and would
bo nioro evenly distributed—cotton
would bo higher and provisions cheap
er. Hut tho corn and cotton man lias
his drawbacks. Ho is pressed to pre
pare Ills land and plant in season.—
There is a lull in laying by ; cotton
picking is extended into winter ; juice
ol cotton too low to bo remunerative ;
corn too high to raise his own meat
and feed stock on it economically. He
cannot follow a smooth rotation, and
cannot keep up fertility of his land
without buying manure.
Now, if tho com and cotton man will
plant and divide his crop as follows :
live acres in corn, three in cotton, ono
in Chinese cane, half acre in potatoes,
half acre iu peanuts, one-fifth of an
aero-in vegetables, eight acres in oats,
ten in wheat, ten iu clover or peas for
hay and green manuring, from fifty to
sevonty-fivo in grass for pasturage
winter and summer, per hand, ho will
reap the following advantages: In
crease of area per hand at least four
fold, smooth rotation of crops, tho
means of increasing fertility of land,
employment for labor the year round,
everything in its season, no pressure
of work, remunerative prices for pro
duce, stock and provisions to sell in
stead of having to buy, mare remu
nerative farming, better wages for la
boring classes, better control of labor,
a surplus of labor that can ho devoted
to manufacturing, a surplus of provis
ions that will feed tho manufacturer,
manufactories that will give a market
to tho farmer, both in selling and buy

Full Oats-When au<( Uviv to
Mow.
IN ANSW ER TO “OGEETIIOKrE.”
Editors Southern Cultivator—l
have read “Oglethorpe’s” article, in
your July number, making inquiries
as to the fall oat crop, when and how
to sow, &c., and requesting answers to
his articles. “First, as to time of sow
ing,” September is best, but October
does very well. “Second, as to kind
and preparation of land”—the cleanest
land, such a9 is freest from weeds and
grass, (oats like all other crops do best
to have entire possesion of the land)
and land that has been cultivated du
ring the summer, if possible. Sow
ono and a half to two bushels to the
aero, broad- cast, on the ground before
plowing—(most persons in sowing
winter oats do not sow them thick
enough ; if they are are too thick, they
generally die out to proper stand in
the winter ) Then turn under with a
“Brinlv,” or a similar ono horse plow,
then run a heavy brush over tho
ground. If your ground has nut been
cultivated during tho summer, and is
at all foul, break up with a two horse
turning plow 7 early in August, and let
remain until last of September or first
of October—then sow them under and
brush as above. “Fourth, manure,
quality and quantity and when best
applied.” If your land is so poor that
it will not bring oats without manure,
it is too poor to wasto manure on.—
Your only relief for such soil is clover
sowed on your oat field. (Clover is
not only the cheapest fertilizer, but tho
best and cheapest subsoiler) After
your clovor is up in tho spring and
danger of frost has passed, and tho
weather dry—sow on the clover and
oats, one bushel of plaster, mixed with
one bushel of leached ashes per acre.
Sow early in tho morning whilo there
is dew enough on tho oats and clover
to hold the plaster—and continue this
every spring until you get a good crop
of clover.
“Fifth, should they be grazed,
If your oats grow up rapidly and cov
er tho ground, mow when six inches J
high—graze them in tho fall and up
to first of January, only in dry weather,
with calves and colts ; nothing elso —
but if you sow clover, nevor lot a hoof
on the clover the first year. You will
thus have plenty of oats that will come
uj) and stand tho second year to give
you a good croj> to cut with your clo
ver for huy. I have raised three good
crops of winter oats on the sumo
ground, sowing only tho first your, but
j (lowing the second year ; by not pas
turing you will have plenty of seed
left on tho ground for second year’s
crop
“Sixth, What variety is best for fall
sowing.” What was called iu East
Tennessee tho Winter Oat. I think
tho winter oats will run out in this cli
mato in three or four years, so they
will not stand the winter as well as
fresh setd raised north of this. I
sowed the winter oats in tlio early part
of February, on cotton land, and
turned under as I have stated, and
cut eighty dozen per aero—sowed two
bushels j>er acre. Ono great advan
tage in sowing winter oats in this cli
mate, is you prepare your ground and
sow your oats after the orojis are laid
by, and don’t have this croji to inter
fere with spring planting. Floyd.
