- 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. B.ULUYH DlSTUlCT. Joel T. Coney, W. G. Weaver, i Lewis Melts, Charles J. Hilliard.

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.
