Do Tint, think the frost will affect
.the sect! in the least.
Answer to question 2nd. I am at
this date (July 22d.) haying tny fod
der “pulled.” The beggar wood is
from 3 inches to 4 feet high—very
little of it more than 2 feet, not at all
in the way of saving fodder. But
where the land is rich it is a little in
tho wayof gathering coni. I have seen
it -grow eo thick aud high by Nov.
(which is com gathering time in this
country) that the farmers instead of
having the com thrown in heaps (the
usual way) would drive mules and wag
ons ahead of the hands to break down
the weeds, then pttll the com and
throw in the wagon from the stalk.
But they very seldom grow so large
as to cause that sort of trouble.
They make a magnificent pasture for
horses, mules and cattle, and will fat
ten Taster than any other green for
age I ever saw. They can be turned
oh them at any time. 1 have, never
known a horse or cow to get sick
from eating them. In answer to
question 3rd., after they get a start on
a pieco of land and sard piece is
planted in oats the beggar weed will
come up about the time oats are
harvested. I think from this fact
the seed could very well ho Sown
with tho oats. In answer to question
4th. , I have never soon a crop of them
turned under in their green state,
hut suppose thov would be equally as
good as peas. The seed mature in
October. and November—probably
earlier in fields early laid by. I have
never seen it used ns cured or dry
forage, but foci satisfkd that horses
or cattle would cat it with a r„elish,
in winter or spring. I have seen
cattle eating the seed from the dry
stalk in mnl winter and keep in
lino condition, and while feeding on
them* give a superior quality of milk.
To sum up, we Floridians think the
beggar weed a good thing.
Very truly,
John L. Roberts.

The Post vs. the Courier

vinced that it was utterly useless to

We ulways thought Sandersvillc
could tube the premium on “blow
ing,” if not on grammar and spell
ing. .Since the Hawkiiisvillc Dix-
'patch cost one beam out of, our eye,
we are enabled to see clearly to cast
jlm motes out of brother Anthony’s
eye.—-lid. Pour,
Hicks, of the Dublin Post rapped
us last week on account of our incor
rect spelling and bad grammar. He
lias, most assuredly, bit on tho right
plan for gaining him and his Post a
nigh position in journalistic circles
by thus tackling tho “high authority”
of our notorious journal. We, in
in our infancy, like the Post is now,
went u good deal on correct spelling
atid good grammar, hut since wo have
risen to such magnitude in the way
of subscribers, friends and finances,
wo “spell” and “clncidate” without
any regard to the correctness of the
rtimid. Wait, Ilieksypost, until this
pleasant- epoch dawns upon you and
your hantlmg, Ihen you can talk and
spell as wo ho.— Sandersvilte Courier.
It is a well known fact that tho
editor of tho Courier tells contra
dictory stories about his tinaifces.—
In his paper ho, blusters mightily
about, ilio immense quantities of
money he is making; and then goes
around in person .putting up a terri
bly poor mouth about lus destitute
condition as a means of enlisting the
sympathy and support of the breth
ren.
We presnmo that, brother anthonv,
when lie tirst- entered the PuJpit,
went a good deal on telling the truth';
but sjneo ho has risen to such mag
nitude as a xtfroniora pftmeher,
he can afford to spell and elucidate,
not only williont any regard to the
rules of orthography and grammar,
but also in utter dolhmco of tho
jewel Consistency.
