It is better to let a field make what grass it will and occasionally pasture it, than to grow u corn or cotton upon it if it will make only two or three bushels of corn or two hundred pounds of seed cotton to the acre. This is what many farmers are doing, and causing them to sink money every year. Judicious manuring on land of moderate fertility, sufficient at least to make it meet expenses, should com mend itself to every intelligent mind. Old meadows that are roamed over every year, must be rested, or ma nured, or the stock must suffer. If meadow is too Yvet it can be of but little value. Hence it must be drain ed. Wheat should be sown earlier than it usually is, and the earlier it sown at the proper season, the less will be its liability to be destroyed or injured by insects. Early sowing will enable the roots to get deeper into the ground betore the frosts of winter become severe. When injured by frost the yield will be less and of poor quality. Oats are often sown too late in the spring, and are injured by the hot sun. Sow as early as the ground can be ploughed and harrowed after the severe weather about Christmas time is over, say about the middle of January. A portion of a corn crop should be planted by the middle of March and all the rest by the 20th of April; planting, in May and June, is too late, ordinrially, to make a good crop, and it interferes with the proper at tention to the cotton crop. All land, for all crops, should be well pulver ized and harrowed, if possible, before the seed are sow r n and planted. This takes a little more time but the value of it is seen at the gathering time. One-third, more oats, wheat, corn and cotton, pays, handsomely for the trouble. These remarks apply as well to gar dening as to field culture. A half acre or acre ploughed and cross ploughed, and harrowed, will yield twice as many vegetables of ah kind kinds as if simply ploughed once.. The reason is obvious, the little delicate sprouts of seeds are twice as well furnished with the nutriment of the soil at the early stage of growth, and grow' right off vigorously, as when they are stinted and checked by coming in contact with clods, and often wither and die for want of nourishment from the soft soil which nourishes and promotes tiieir rapid growth. When the little pistols, or sprouts, come in contact with clods they are stinted if they do not die. Many persons think it is useless, yea injurious to plough their crops in long dry spells in the hot summer time. This is a great mistake. Ploughing, in such times and cases, enables the plants to imbibe more moisture and aids in resisting the blighting effects of drought. A deeply broken soil is said, by some of the best agricultural writers*, to be a store house for moist ure, and stirring it w ith the plow lets loose the moisture among the roots of the plants and thus aids in the hot- est and driest weather. Much of it is below the roots and the plow ing caus es it to come up to the roots and af ford them great relief from the effects of the drought. During the working season we think the general opinion and experience is, that there is no better feed for horses than a mixture of corn and oats ground, with a little good fodder or hay. The mixture of corn and oats is thought to be improved if made wet when fed to the animals and some say it is greatly improved by being steam ed. I We have, comparatively, a moder ate winter climate, but the cold is oft en sufficiently intense to injure stock of all kinds that are exposed to it without shelter. Winter storms and winds, especially at night, often produce inflatutory diseases in ani mus, especially in horses that have been worked hard on a winter day, and are fed in a trough in an open lot and left exposed during the night. The same is true in reference to oxen who have been engaged in hauling during the day. But while both are liable to injury from the cold the horse is more liable to it than the ox. Let it be remembered that if either is to be exposed to cold winds at night the danger is less if they are w T ell fed with strong and suitable food. While there are fast days for men there should be no fast days for horses and cattle whether they are worked or not. We think there are some sound and useful truths set forth in this article worthy of being remembered and acted upon. All who have horses and cattle should particularly remember those in reference to horses and cattle and make preparation without de lay to protect them against the cold of the coming winter. The sooner it is done the better it w ill be, for, in a short time, many of the fall nights will be trying to the constitution of both. OATS. Many experienced farmers say that winter oats are better and more proilfic than spring oats. This undoubtedly is true. There is seldom a failure in the winter oats while in a great many cases the spring oats are not worth the trouble of cut ting them. The best time for sowing winter oats is from the middle of Sep tember to the 1st of October. But a difference of a week or two will scarcely vary the result. They may be sown now or a week or two later. Some farmers say that the same land may be sown with winter oats year after year and the land will actually get better all the time With winter oats the barns can be kept full all the time from the same land with a constant improvement of the land. The oats are ready for use much sooner than the spring oats and are fuller and more heavily grained. In adopting this plan while a test might be made by sow’ing now the proper time would be to sov r according to seasons at any time between the 20tli of August and the 15th of September. That is be fore the heavy picking of cotton be gins. If the soil is very rich the sow ing should be made as late as the mid dle of September. One thing is cer tain that such a sowing would make a fine crop of oats on land too poor for anything else. RIPE EXPERIENCE. From the Sparta Ishmaelite. An old man who has tilled the 6oil for forty years, a nd is out of debt, prosperous and happy, has given the world seven valuable maxims. They constitute a very good creed: 1. One acre of land, well prepared and well cultivated, produced more than two which g^eived only the same amount of, ** one. 2. One cow, one or hog, well fed, used on the se, mule, sheep more profitable SHALLOTS. All house keepers know how onions are cultivated. Some time and troub le are required to grow them. The buttons are obtained by sowing the seed one year and then planting the buttons the next year. We highly commend the shallot as far more easi ly produced and better for seasoning food than onions or leeks. It is said to be considered in England superior to any other species of the onion tribe. The cultivation is very simple. They should be planted in the fall. Now is a good time. October is the best month for it. The plants should be six inches apart in the row, and the rows 12 to 15 inches apart. All the work required is to keep them free of weeds. They will be ready to draw by J une, and may be spread out in any airy and shady place. The bulbs will be from 3 to 5 inches in circumference. The crop will be about two hundred bushels per acre provided the soil is rich and well pre pared. They throw' up flower stems in the Spring and produce seed in abundance^ No climate is superior to our southern one for their growth. If the heads of the flower stems are pinched off as they appear it will in crease the size of the bulbs. They should not be manured with fresh horse manure. The flavor is excellent and for seasoning it is superior to any thing of the onion tribe. The .above is what Robt. Nelson said about the shallot 25 years ago. Robt. Nelson as agardnerand general horticulturist had no superior. than two kept on the same amount nec essary to keep one. 3. One acre of clover or grass is worth more than two of cotton where clover is raised 4. No farmer who buys oats, corn or wheat, as a rule, for ten years, can keep the Sheriff away from the door in the end. 5. The farmer who never reads the papers, sneers at book farming and improvements, always has a leaky roof, poor stock, broken down, fences, and complains of bad “seasons.” 6. The farmer who is above his bus- ines, and intrusts it to another to manage, soon has no business to at tend to. 7. The farmer whose habitual bev erage is cold water, is healthier, weal thier and wiser than he who does not refuse strong drink. Fowls.—A correspondent of the Iowa Journal gives the preference to Brahma fowls over all others. They are the best winter hiyers, have no disposition to roam, are superior for the table and one is sufficient for a meal for a fair sized family. One will w r eigh as much as tw o common fowls. They grow" rapidly and one can take a pride in show'ingthem to his friends. The chickens, he says, are easily rais ed, grow rapidly and are free from dis ease. . Good Results in fivery Case. D. A. Bradford, "wholesale paper dealer, of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes that he was seriously afflicted with a severe cold, w'hich settled on his lungs; had tried many remedies without ben efit; being induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption did so and w as entirely cured by use of a few bottles; since which time he has used it in his family for all coughs and colds with best results.

From the statistics, as shown by the census reports of the United States, it appears that the average yield of the corn crop is about thirty bushels per acre, and that the average yield of the wheat crop is about fourteen bushels per acre. That these averages will give no profit is evident to every experi enced farmer, and as these are the averages there must be many who grow' less, for we know there are many who grow much more to the acre. We might, then, divide farmers into three classes—those who ara growing crops above the average and make money; those who grow aver age crops and make a living, and those who grow crops below the aver age a\id barely keep soul and body together.—[Waldo F.

A large crop of good hay is very de sirable, and every effort should be made to make the meadows more pro ductive. Manure will go a great ways towards securing this end, and all that can be spared for this purpose should* be spread on as soon as pos sible and be harrowed in with a good sharp harrow. It should be remem bered that with a big hay crop the stock can be easily and successfully carried through the winter, even if there is not much grain to feed: but this big hay crop cannot be grown on poor land, nor when the meadows are tramped and eaten by stock. Peas will probably bear deeper planting than any other seeds. The crop delights in cool, moist soil, and deep planting insures these conditions. We have found, however, that mak ing a furrow seven or eight inches deep, filling in with a mixture of soil and superphosphate, and planting the peas on this two inches below the sur face, produced better results than deeper planting. If the pea roots want to go down deeper they will know how do it, provided w r e have prepared the proper condition. There is a popular prejudice in fa vor of eggs having dark-colored shells. It is based on reason in so far as it is a fact that Brahma and Ply mouth Rock eggs, which are usually large and of good quality, have dark shells. The taste of eggs depends much on the feed of the hen. At this season, when grain is the staple diet the eggs are more highly flavored than later, when hens pick up their living by foraging.
