A valuable winter oat (it may be sown in the spring also) has been in troduced in Virginia by Mr. Lyell, of Chesterfield county, from the South) and is called by him “rust-proof oat.” A correspondent, wilting from Wythe county, says that this oat ma tures ten days at least earlier than any other variety tried in that sec tion, which is a great advantage on account of an earlier supply of fur age, avoiding rust more certainly and giving young clover a better chance to live. It is considered in Wythe county a productive and val uable acquisition. Latest reports from Virginia an nounce the oat crop, particularly the “winter out,” and excellent one.— Heretofore whiter oats have been lit tle soivn in that State, the farmers fearing they would not stand the win. ter. They have been tested in Albe- marle county, and do well in other parts of the State where it is not colder. Commissioner Pollard, of Richmond, says that if sown in Aug ust, or, in the northern portion of the State, the last of July, winter oats sel dom fail to survive the cold and do well. When they live through the wiuter they generally make about double the grain the spring oats do, and are a very certain crop, scarcely ever failing. On all medium land, and on all land where the farmer doubts its being strong enough for wheat, the rule given for this section and similar latitudes is to seed winter oats from August up the Ist of No vember; in colder regions the last of July. . Among the .advantages claimed for these oats is that they are harvested earlier and give the young clover a better chance to with stand the hot sun; also that the far mer obtains forage sooner to feed on when his supplies are exhausted. In Georgia the current reports from correspondents show a larger yield per acre of fall-sown than spring sown oats. In 1877 the aver age yield f..r the State was of fall sown thirteen and spring-sown elev en bushels per acre, and this not with' standing the fact that the crop of fall oats that year was seriously injured by the proceeding winter. The ex perience of the past indicates Aug ust, September and October as the proper months, according to latitude, for sowing this grain. Oats tnar be successfully produced by sewing iu cotton land in Septrm ber and October, if ploughed or liar rowed in immediately following the cotton pickers. Many farmers have tried the plan ol drilling two rows of oats in each crtton middle with sucsess. By .owing in this manner in cotton land which has been fertil ized the oat. -retire the benefit of the manure no' appropriated by the cot ton. The labor of sowing is small, the crop requires almost no cultiva tion and usually yield bi’ge returns; hence advocates lor fall towing argue that when failure ocuers from winter freezing there is practically no loss of labor, since the ground mav be re seeded in the spring or planted to some other summer crop, corn ami cotton. * j So uniformly have the report: from various section been in favor of win ter oats, that Thomas I*. Janes, m a ' circular i.-.sue- f om the State Agri cultural Department recently, urges planters to make preparations for a large sowing ot fall oats. lie says; “Don’t wait for spring, but take all the chances; sow in the fall, and if t fit? crop fails then sow in the spring, but by all means sew oats ” The rust-proof oat is preferred be fore all varieties on account of the quality from which its name is de rivtd. It has been tried for a num ber of years in Georgia, and is pro nounced by ihose who have experi mented with it as practically rust proof. From one to two and a half bushels per acre, according to the quality of land, is the amount recom mended for seed. Until within a few years the soil and climate of Southern Georgia have been c >nsid ered unsuited to the cultivation of oats. So long as sown with the same seed used in the West, crop af ter crop was destroyed with rust, but now that the rust proof oat is used a great change lias been experienced.. The value of the crop as a summer feed for animals at work is being bet ter appreciated every season, and many farmers are anticipating the time when oats will constitute one of the leading forage crops of the Souli. A CIRCULAIC. It having been brought under the notice of the Savannah Cotton Ex change that the use of Straw or Grass Bagging is a serious objec tion as a covering for Cotton, as when wot it imparts a stain to the lint, and otherwise injuries the sight liness of the bale, it is suggested in the interest of the Planters and all concerned, that the use of said Bag ging should be discontinued after this year; otherwise, Cotton so en cased will suffer disadvantage in this market by liability to rejection.— When the difference iu price be tween this objectionable article and that in ordinary use is considered, it will be apparent that the small sav ing which might result is quite dis proportionate to the possible loss which Avould ensue to Planters and Expoters, should its use be contin ued For all the reasons set forth, there fore, Planters are strongly recom mended to abandon the use of said Bagging in future. IN THE WORLD! NEARLY ALL BAKING POWDERS ARE ADULTERATED. The wily manufacturers of these spurious compounds claim that adulteration is necessary to the preservation of the product. Don’t you believe a word of this. On the contrary, the good qualities of any Baking Powder are lessened and the injurious elements increased just in pro portion to the adulteration. t€k EftAM IS ABSOLUTELY PURE WLn I vMStI and has double the strength of any other yeast or baking powder. It pos sesses none ol the bad qualities of any of these preparations, but is an entirely new invention, and contains no ingredient or element which can produce an injurious effect. On the con trary, it has in itself a tendency to sustain life and tlie human system. ISItKAI) is one of tlic most import ant articles of food, and one that enters into the daily consumption of all classes of people —the poor as well as the rich. No thing is a more potent cause of indi gestion and dyspepsia than heavy, sodden bread. A prominent dealer in patent medicines assures us that the sale of a single dyspepsia cure EXCEEDS $750 QUO per year; and every physician in the land will testify to the general prevalenceof this distress ing disease. Light, wdl-raised bread, biscuit, and cakes digest readily, and conduce to good health. Good health makes labor of all kinds easier, and PHOLONGB LIFE. c F A Efi A M never fails to make OCA r UAm LIGHT BREAD. It is xoar ranted to make better, lighter, sweeter, healthier, more nutritious, and more readily di gested bread, biscuit, cakes, puddings, etc., tlian can he made In any other way. Again, flour varies in quality, a fact which adds greatly to the perplexing difficulties with which the housekeeper has to contend in the attempt to produce good bread by the use of yeast, soda, saleratus, or the common baking powders and bread preparations. 1 f too much of any of these articles is used, the bread has & sour or rank, bitter taste, or is heavy and soggy, unpalatable, and indigestible. With the use of .Sea Foam these difficulties are obviated . for even with second quality flour better cook ery can be made than the best of flour will make with any of the other stuft's. ECONOMY is another point worthy of con sideration in these hard times, when almost every one lias a struggle to make both ends meet. The economy of Sea Foam in really wonderful. One call of It is w orth throe of any other baking compound. tFA cn A M SAVESKMEand MONEY uCM bUMKvI It saves time because very httle kneading is required, and no delay is ne cessary for the dough to raise; but it can be baked in a hot. quick oven as soon as mixed. IT SAVES MONEY, because in three months’use of it the saving in milk, eggs, and other ingredients will more than pay its cost ; and then it will make 40 POUNDS MORE BREAD from a barrel of flour than can otherwise be made.

Having been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and the whole am iace of my skin being covered wiih oiniplea and eruptions, many of which canacd me great pain and annoyance, unci knowing it U> t>e a blood disease, I took many of tho advertised blood preparations, among which was any quantity oi Sr-vaapr-rilla, wich out obtaining any benefit until I oonunened taking the \ 2QETXNE ; ana before i had completed the first bottlo I saw that I had got the right medicine.
