imfr & Mess&etigec, AGRICULTURAL DERARTHENT. EDITED BY General Wh. M. BROWNE, rrofessor or Eistoiy and Agriculture in the University of Georgia. OATS—THE BEST STAGE TO CUT THEM— TIIE BEST METHOD OF SAYING THEM; AND OF FEEDING THESE The above question has been submitted to me for my views by a member of one of tlie most enterprising and intelligent agricultural societies in the State, who properly regard it as of sufficient import ance to make it the subject of discussion at an -approaching meeting. 1. The Beni Stage to Cut Them.—My experience and observation, and, as far as I know, of all others who have given the subject careful consideration, favors the cutting of oats from a week to ten days before they become “ripe.” As soon as the straw just below the head begins to turn yellow, and becomes hard and dry for two or three indies in length, no more nourishment is received from the root, and the sooner it is cut the better. Oats •cut at this period of growth are fuller thinner skinned, more nourishing am; weigh heavier than those allowed to be come -fully or nearly fully ripe; so that, by cutting early, more and a better quality of •grain is made, and the straw is nearly •double the value of that allowed to bleach and dry upon the ground. When the grain is in the milk or dough state there is but little woody fibre—nearly ev erything is starch, glutin, etc., with a large percentage of water. If cut ten or twelve days before ripeness, the proportion of woody fibre is still very small, but as it ripens, the skin becomes rapidly thicker, woody fibre being formed at the expense of its nutritive properties. Another rea son in favor of early cutting is that much grain is scattered and lost when allowed to become fully ripe; and another very important reason is that rust, the great destroyer of giaiu crops, dees its chief damage just before they ripen. 2. The Best Method of Sating Them.— They should be cut when there is a rea sonable prospect of fair weather, bound in small sheaves, allowed to lie on the ground to dry under the influence of the sun and wind during the day, and put up in small shocks in the evening, and thus remain ior a day or two, when they will be suffi ciently cured to haul home and store away in the bam. Oats should never be allowed to become wet or heat. I much prefer housing to stacking oats where the former is practicable. I have never seen an oat stack, however skillfully and carefully built, in which a considerable portion of the oats were not found rotted and untit for use, and very commonly I have seen stacks of oats almost wholly valueless when opened for use in the stable. 3. The Best Mode of Feeding Them.— Where oats are cut and saved as above in dicated the straw is nearly as valuable as the grain as food for animals. The best way then to use them for food is to cut them up with a good cutting knife, cutting daily as much as is needed for the day’s consumption and sprinkling them with salt and water. Work horses and mules can be kept fat and healthy on this food wldlc doing the hardest work of the farm. I have long been of the opinion that oats are the most nutritive as well as the most economical food for our farm an imals. Where, from want of barn-room or other cause, the oats are threshed, the grain housed and the straw stacked or penned, or, as too often is the case, left to rot in the field where the threshing was done, much of the value of the oat crop is lost. Three pecks of shelled oats fed daily to work animals—a peck morning, noon and night—are ample to keep them in good working order, with three or four bundles of fodder or from twelve to four teen pounds of good hay. 6TIE THE SOU.. The severer the drought the greater the necessity, in ray opinion, to keep the soil of our hoed crops frequently stirred. The atmosphere, even in the hottest days, con tains a considerable amount of moisture, as will readily be seen where there is any cause for its condensation. The earth, if light and porous from deep preparation and frequeut culture, will absorb much moisture from the atmosphere. The dif ference in the amount of moisture absorb ed by a well stirred and porous soil as compared with one not stirred and so po rous, is much greater than is generally supposed. The undisturbed soil soon be comes smooth and hard, and has a much smaller surface and less power of attrac tion than one that is broken and disinte grated. After it is broken the air can polite; be generous; he Idad; study hard; play hard; be in earnest; be self-reliant; read good books; love your fellow-men; love your God; -love your country and obey the laws; love truth; love virtue. PREPARATION OF FOOD FOR STOCK. It has been long admitted that chopping the food given to our horses and mules increases its digestibility and makes a smaller quantity -supply sufficient nutri ment. The steaming and softening of the chopped food—particularly cooking it— was a further improvement in preparing stock food, and now another, and, it is claimed, a greater improvement has been introduced in the grinding or crushing of fodder, hay and straw, by which they are made softer, more succulent, more easy of digestion and more nourishing. This grinding is done by ordinary mill Stones, and is described as simple and inexpen sive.

It is for this reason that frequent hoeing is found so beneficial, and that uuderdrained and sultsoiied land suffers least from a drought. And not only is moisture best absorbed by a well stirred soil, but carbonic acid and ammo nia are also attracted and absorbed to a greater extent. No deeply plowed and thoroughly disintegrated soil is in danger of becoming dryer from exposure to the sun. This is a common belief, hut it is a mistake. Keep the soil stirred, suffer no grass or weeds to grow, and the increased crop in the gfn house or the corn crib, at the end of the year, will demonstrate the truth of the above statement. FLOWERS.

But this is a great mistake. They may do a great deal without any help but that of a common laborer to spade the soil and do the rough work. “Common flowers,” as they are called, such as Detunias, phlox, heartsease, pinks, carnations and hundreds of beauti ful aunuals, if tastefully arranged and carefully cultivated, present.a beautiful appearance, and well reward the labor ex pended on them. An experienced gar dener, who devotes his whole time and attention to the work, can, of course, pro duce a much larger variety and of finer and rarer quality, especially where he can draw at pleasure on friend Berckinaus’ acres of greenhouses filled with all the beauties and curiosities of the floral king dom. But where this is impossible vast eqjoyment may be derived from the “common” flowers. Beds filled with plants with long botanical names are often not so pretty or so sweet ae those where the rose, the honeysuckle, the peo ny, the humble mignonette, the sweet- pea, the nasturtium, etc., are to be found. If we can afford it, let ns have, by all means, abutilons, azaleas, coleas, bego nias, cissus, and tlie thousands of beauti ful gems from Flora’s casket, which Berckmans can furnish us, and that, too, at a very small outlay compared with tbe enjoyment they afford; but if we cannot afford this, let us have flowers of some sort; let us not despise the gorgeous hues and balmy odors which bounteous heaven has given to minister to human happiness, because they can be had without money and wiUiout price, but let uc diligently improve these gifts to the use, the refine ment and the happiness of mankind.

If they would, the groceries would lose many of their patrons, the art of whittling white pine would be practically abandoned, and the drygoods boxes in front of town and village stores would soon become “empty benches”: Young Men—Yon are the architects of your own fortunes.

Tennes- ett and Miss Buford, who is on a visit in Macon frem Kentucky—were among the number. The day was delightful, the crowd large, aud everybody in a good humor; so there was no occasion for having anything else but a glorious day. The business of the club was dispatched in a short time, there being but little reg ular business on hand. Colonel Thomas Hardeman, president of the State Agri cultural Society, was made a member of this club, and the following resolution, offered by Mr. C. W. Howard, was adop ted: Whekeas, several gentleman in Macon have kindly and generously aided our club by donating us several needeu con tributions; therefore be it Besotted, That the sincere thanks of the Ocmnlgee Farmeis’ Club be returned to the following parties for articles men tioned, so liberally presented by them viz: Messrs. Jones & Cook, for two barrels of lime; Messrs. C. Burke & Son, for fif teen pounds metallic paint; Messrs. Bernd Brothers, for twei ty-five pounds of tallow; Messrs. Hunt, Rankin & Lamar, for one gallon of paint; Messrs. Carhart & Curd, for four hundred and fifty feet of barbed wire; Messrs. F. S. Johnson’s Sons, for fifty pounds nails. All festivities were suspended, and the crowd gathered under the shade of one ot the grandest oak groves in Georgia, and listened to an address by the writer, who was followed by Colonel Tom Hardeman in one of his happy off-hand exhorta tions. A resolution was passed requesting a copy of the address for publication in the Telegraph and Messenger, and Southern. Farmer's Monthly, published iu Savannah. A most sumptuous dinner was spread and between four and five hundred peo ple paid their respects to it, and yet an abundance was left. A more profusely supplied table I have rarely ever beheld. The people of Howard District are noton the point of starvation, whatever may be the condition of the rest of the world. The festivities were renewed at .the hall, and kept up until late in the after noon, when every body retired, con scious of having spent one of the most delightful days in all their history. The crops along the line of the road have wonderfully improved during the last month. The greatest improvement was manifest in the oat crop. Fields a month ago, that looked as if they would not make a bushel to the acre, now look fresh and green, and heading up finely, BY TELEGRAPH Congress.

STEVENS, Boston, Mass. giving promise of an abundant yield The wheat, although greatly improved, will not make more than a half crop at best. The com was looking well, and the cotton that was up looked healthy. Mr. O. D. Edwards has one of the finest stands of cotton, that I ever saw, and is now ready for chopping out. The best com I saw was on Captain R. E. Park’s plantation, on his red land. The Captain showed me a small patch of Australian wheat, which has been literally destroyed by the rabbits. They feed on it. There is something peculiarly attractive to their taste in this wheat. The roads were badly washed by the recent rains and tlie citizens are anxiously looking for the new bridge across Beaver Dam creek, which was promised them by the county commissioners. It would be a great advantage to the neighborhood. Jack Plane. Macon, May 3,1SS0. Jones County Endorses Blount. Clinton, Ga., May 4,1880.

It is the fashion in Russia that when ever two people meet on Easter day they kiss each other on the month, and while one says “Christ is risen!” the other re plies “Ho is risen, indeed!” Now it seems that the Emperor Nicholas bad so ar ranged it that the sentry placed at the pal ace gate should be an Israelite, and a very oronounced one. Early in the morning Nicholas betook himself to the gate, and giving the soldier the EasterJdss said.* “Brother, Christ is risen!” The soldier’s bronzed face flushed, but bringing his musket at the salute, he re plied resolutely: “No, father, he is not!” Upon this the emperor pretended to get into a furious passion, and in a load voice he repeated, “Christ is risen!” The sol dier trembled; he saw the knout lash dangling before his eyes, but the love of stock down with a crash, he cried: “No, he is not-!” The Czar respected the man’s adher-' ence to a crede, rewarded the soldier and left, laughing heartily over the adven ture.
