The Journal. J. D. HO I'L # ll L. WES TO A' EDITORS. Oats anil Oat Meal. BTP. WYATT AIK EX. I’erhaps the State of South Caroli-i na never harvested such a crop of oats as she will this year. Alter long experience in the oat sowing, and continued effort to procure a sort of oat that would yield a good crop and be proof against rust or b'ast, our farmers seem to have at last discov ered the article in the valuable red oat, now so extensively grown throughout the State. VI hat a boon that little grain has been to the farming interest of the State, few men can conceive who have not watched its introduction and general cultivation with a sort of experimental interest. Its presence as a staple crop sug gests some moral reflections. It has come in our poverty like a special jrovidencc. To depend upon grow ing corn to feed the beasts of burth en, and so much of the human race as sojourn on South Carolina soil, would entail npon our farmers an endless poverty, and perhaps want and starvation to plough animals.— But just in the nick of time comes ’he red oats to save us from indus trial failure, and to secure for us po litical independence: for we believe the truthfulness of the assertion we heard made not long since by a dis tinguished lawyer of the back coun try, that “red oats whipped the fight in 1870.” For, said he, when the red shirt, at the proper signal, un hitched his traces, mountrd his steed and threw the half bushel sack of red oats behind him, he meant busi ness, and business with him meant political victory. And how many hundreds, yea thonsands, of such he roes did we see in 1876? Let their epitaphs be engraved npon the grate ful memories of a disenthralled peo ple. We heard another man say, (and he was a practical farmer, and a suc cessful one, too) that in South Caro lina we can raise oats at ten cents per bushel. While we think this somewhat extravagant, we are pre pared to believe any man in South Carolina can grow a bushel of oats almost as cheaply as he can a peck of corn, and wc again assert, as we have often asserted before, that three bushels of oats are equal to ten bush els of corn in maintaining plough ani Dials. The . why is it that we d< not export oats from South Carolina no one can tell, except that the far mers have not yet become weaned off from their policies. But we have said that we arc growing this year an immense croi of oats. Then ihe next question is. what will we do with them when harvested and threshed? Will we glut the market and almost give them away, as ,we have done occa. sionallv heretofore ? We hope not.— If properly fed to any and all kinds of animals they can be made to pay better than by selling them upon a crowded market. A fine market might be opened even for home consumption if our millers would introduce the proper machinery for grinding them. Our farmers and the negroes in the conn try would laugh at any man who would advise them to eat their own oats, and yet there is nothing more wholesome; and today there are men in South Carolina who eat, as a portion of their daily food, oatmeal porridge, but send all the way to Bal timore cr New York to get the oat meal out of which it is made. There can be little doubt but that if boiled oatmeal were to become a prevailing breakfast and supper dish, we would require more raiik, 3nd this would require more cattle, and more cattle means more fresh meat, and more fresh meat means less bacon. and less bacon means better general health, and bet‘ft health more hap. piness. So just cee what might fol low eating oatmeal. We clip the fallowing ftr>m a Northern exchange: “Fur the past f-.rty years, 53 ' $ an Englishman, I have my breakfast off a piut of oatmed porridge, with very rare exceptions, and nothing else, fasting f.>r four hour? if erward j If, however, I take any oth<r form of j breakfast, I find myself vrrr hungrv \ before the next meal, which is never! the case when 1 hare had rrv por ridge. I feel assured it' workingmen and their families would but take a basin of oatmeal and mlk porridge night and morning, with such other food as they can procure in the intere val, we would have a hea’thier race of men and women than now exists. A few years ago I had a Devonshir girl living with me as a servant. The girl was w lling enough to work, but had not the s amina to perform it.— This I found, on questioning her, arose from the deficient and ill ad vised diet on which she had been reared. Sl-.e shortly began to take her porridge night and morning, and this, with a daily mid-day meal ot of mea', enabled her to perform her duties with ease. It is surprising how much nutrition is contained in this cheap, wholesome food." Oats do not con'ain a great deal of posphatic matter, and therefore are not commended as a bone-pro ducing food, but inasmuch as almost ail the food we eat supplies the nec essary phosphates for the growth of the skeleton, there is more necessity to have our diet composed of such substances as produce flesh, fat and muscles, and oats contain a supera bundance of these elements. Travel where we will north of the Potomac or Ohio, and we find oat meal and milk, or sugar a favorite breakfast dish. The grains of oats are ground sufficiently' to rub off the bran, and perhaps crack the grain.— Incondition they are boiled and eaten like hominy with milk or sugar. We hope our farmers will test the palata bleness of this dish during the sum mer and let us hear from them. It is anew dish to most of them, but it it proves to be'wholesome and palata ble, why should it not be introduced here as it has been elsewhere ? We clip the followidg from anoth er exchange: “Oatmeal, now found on almost every gentleman's breakfast table, was, a few yeaes ago, used exclusive ly by the Scotch and Irish. I)r. Johnson, who, in his hatred of the Scotch, lost no opportunity of saying a bitter word against them, defined oats as in Scotland food for Scoth mcn; but in England food for hors es.” “Yes," answered an indignant Scotchmen, “where can you find such men as in Scotland; or such horses as in England?” AVe have heard of a shrewd old Scotch mother who used to make her family cat oatmeal first, saving: “The brain who eats the most por ritch will get the most meat after it.” But the brain who grained the prize always found himself too full to enjoy the meat. It is mentioned in a most charm ing hook, “The Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay,” that Carlyle, catch ug a sight of Macaulay’s face in re pose, remarked, “Well, any one can see that you are an honest, good sort of a fellow, made out of oat meal.” If oatmeal can “make” such men as Wal'er Scott. Dr. Chalmers and Lord Macaulay, we may well heap high the porridge dish, and bribe our chil dren to eat of it. One thing we do know, that it is far better for the blood and brain than cake, confec tions, and tho scores of delicacies on which many pale little pet are fed by their foolishly fond mothers. “The Queen’s Own,” a regiment of almost giants, recruited from the Scottish Highlands, are, as Carlyle sa ; d of Macauly, “made of the oat meal." So buys who want height, and brealth, and muscle, and gills who want rosy cheeks arid physical vigor, should turn fr- tn hot bread and other ind;gestibies, to this food j for “Scotchmenand horses.”— Chatks- j ton Netct and Cur tor A Responsive Chord. • Rev J William Jcces, in an address before the National Sunday School Convention, Atlanta, Georgia, related the following incident: “Iu the early spring of 1562, when the Confederate and Federal arnaie g were confronting each other on the opposite hills of Stafford and Spottsyl vauia, two bands chanced on even ing, at the came hour, to begin to dis course sweet music on either bauk of the river. A large crowd of the sol diers of both armies gaihored tolis’en to the music, the friendly pickets not interfering and soon the ban-la began to auswer each other First, the oar.d on the northern hank weuld jhy “Star Spangled B.nner," “Rail Columbia,”'' or gome other national air, and at ita conclusion the 'boys in tW would chetr most lustily. And hia the band on the Southern bauk would regpend with ‘ Dixie.' or Bou nie Blue Flag,” or some other South ern melody, and the ‘boys in gtay, would attest their approbation with an ‘old Confederate yell.” But present ly one of the hands struck tip, ui sweet aod p'aintive notes which were wafted across the beautiful Rappah annock, and were caught up at once by the other band and swelled into a grand anthem which touched every heat f, “Home, Sweet Home!” At tlie cone!usisn of this piece there went up a simultaneous shout from both sides of the river- cheer followed cheer, and these hills, which lad so recently resounded With hostile guns, eclueil and re-echoed the glad ac claim. A chord had linen struck re sponsive to w Lioh the hearts of ene mies—then—could oeat in unison; and, on both sides of the river, •‘Something down the soldier’s cheek Washed away the stain-; of powder,’ HINTS -TO GROCERS. IT IS POOR POLICY For any retail merchant to sell Inferior goods because lie can make more money on them. Instead of trying to find the cheapast that can bo bought, he should always select TUII BEST In the market. We know of no business anywhere, in the city or country, that would not sooner become permanently established, and in the long run pay better, by handling only fair and honest goods. To be sure, custom may for a while be allured by low prices into the purchase of iuferior and adulterated articles; many even tako up with short weight and other swindling; but time rights all these things, and nothing is more certain than that HONESTY SS THE BEST POLiCY MET DO BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY! The surest way to accomplish this is to bui.d up a permanent trade. This can it te nil; toe if inferior pals are si. Tt is only by keeping the Vest r.rlklts of their kind, even if they do not pry tha largest tiniiu/fuan, profit, that a permanent business is buiit up. Keep the best soup, the best starch, the best spices, the best baking powder, and so on through the whole list. We have known a grocer to lose a customer whose trade was worth a hundred and fifty dollars a year clear profit to him, ju t because ho would not supply a baking powder that was demanded by the best trade. SEA FOAM Will draw more trale to your Stere itan any otlßr one tiiinE ia tie Grocery Line. It la a first-clasrt article, wt’l ilo all tve claim for it, ami never fai.a to work WEJLL* It is a credit to any merchant’s stock, and i one of the few good things ho can confidently recommend to every customer. It will sell itself after ono trial, for its great merits arc coon appreciated. And not only so, bat ono lady using it will tell ethers of the wonderful properties of Sea Foam, and where it can be purchased, and so the tide of trad© will gradually but surely set toward the enterpris ing grocer who keeps it in stock. Actually, tho ladies of Georgia where Bea Foam has been introduced, are noted for making better bread, biscuit, corn cakes, and other cookery than can bo found anywhere else, and they give Sea Foam the credit, and won’t use au/ other baking preparation. And it is not to be wondered ct, either, for Sea Foam NEVER FAILS TO MAKE GOOD BREAD when used according to directions. Mora than half the complaints of bad Gour arise from the use of common baking powders, which not infrequently make the best of flour turn out dark broad. Sea Foam will make better cookery with second quality of flour than tho best of flour will produce with any of these other compounds. MAIU-Y EVERY BAKING POWDER LS ADULTERATED.
