Strive to have and to le some thing while tho bright sun of youth lights the way. —Prairie Farmer. Oats as Fertilizers. A Kentucky farmer writes to the New Yrrk News, on tho subject of oats as a mauure as follows : I havo seen frequent inquires how to rech im old and out worn out lands- A quick and cheap plan is to sow the land in oats as early as you can in the spring as soon as ripe plow under, keep off all stock, and you will have a tremendous fall growth of oats ; plough them under in October—or if South, the first of No vember ; then sow rvo, graze in the spring and feed down; whou ripe plough under, and you will seo iho ti nest rye fields you ever saw; or if you wish, sow clover on tho rye the first sp>ing—it is effectual and cheap. I saw the above tried in Tennessee when 1 was a b.>y; the land was so worn out that the oats did not exceed knee hisrh; they were ploughed under when ripe, and again in November. The land was p anted in corn the next year and made a yield. It was before the days of clover. I have tried it repeatidly since with good success. Wliat is High Farming. An American farmer of note after visiting England and examining with the critical eye of practical agricultural ist the system pursued in that country writes as follows : “ I am thoroughly confirmed in my old faith that the only good farmer of the future is to be the ‘high.’ There is a widely prevailing antipathy among the farmers of our own country, against not only the practice of high farming, but against, even tho use cf the phrase by agrrculturnl write. This is all wiong and should at once be corrected.—- Throughjsomc micoDception of the mean ing of the phrase, arid of its application they havo come to believe it synouy* rnous with theoretical ‘ book farming,’ ‘now-fanglcd notions,’ ‘boasted pro gress/ etc., to bo invaribly Allowed by disappointment and fir al failure. This is all an error. High farming simply means thorough cultivation, liberal ma nuring bountiful crops, good feed, and paying profits therefrom. It is not strange that misconseptions have arisen in the minds of doubting farmers who have been eye-witnesses to some of tho spreap-eagle experiments of enthusias" tic farmers, better supplied with money obtained in a business thou with practi cal experience t pon tho farm Bounti ful crops and paying profits arc, of course, what all farmers, who are depen ding on their farm for an income, are striving to obtain ; and every year as it pasted is rc ß CC>nSrming the opinion that profits are small, and will grow beauti fully less high farming is not practic ed.” If any one thinks we saj too much about manures let them be und'delved. )\ e want our plants well fed, and this is plant food. Do you expect to raise without food? No more can you raise c ops without it. >Vo advocate doing well what you attempt to do. -- Tho Athens Georgian says . Mrs Dr. I l’endleton, of this city, has a seeding orange shrub (of Sho<Lloch variety), three inches high, with a fragrant fuU sze bloom vf on its summit. The fruit w; s eaten and the seed planted last viiristmas day, in n flower pot. AN ADDRESS TO THE SICK- Do you want to purify the system ? Do you want to get rid of Biliousness?
