AGRICULTURAL. N, . 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 ing. Obadiaii Jones, Mineral Springs, Ark. 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.
