AGRICULTURE,
Sow Wheat.
The Chronicle & Sentinel sounds a
timely note of exhortation to our plan
ters to sow wheat, and says:
Wheat does as well sown late as the
middle of November, provided the land
is well prepared and properly fertilized.
The very best fertilizer for wheat is cot
ton seed. Although the cotton crop is
in suDio sections very short, an ample
supply of cotton seed can be had on ev
ery plantation by the middle of Novem
ber, to apply a liberal dose to all the
land sown in wheat. But the great se
cret in wheat growing is the thorough
and perfect preparation of the «oil before
seeding. The reason why the wheat
crop has been so uncertain in this section
of Georgia, is because there has been
heretofore, hardly an attempt at prepa
ration before sowing. An old piece of
poor stubble, full of weeds, bushes and
briars, or a recently planted corn field
covered with grass and corn-stalks has
been selected for the wheat crop. Upon
these lands, without any preparation
whatever, the grain sown and ploughed
under with a common turn plow, and
that is all that is done. With this sort
of treatment, the wheat crop will prove
a failure four or five years. It is worse
than useless to plant in this way. Bet
ter keep the seed for grinding and let
the land lie idle.
But if these lands are thoroughly and
deeply turned over, with a good, fcwo
horse plow, where they are heavy, and
with a large, one-horse plow where they
are light, all the bushes and briars hav
ing been previously cut down and the
land cleared of limbs and trash, in the
month of October, or even early in No
vember, and then thoroughly cross
ploughed or harrowed, a good crop may
be considered quite certain. After the
land is thus thoroughly prepared, sow,
broadcast, thirty to fifty bushels of cot
ton seed to the acre—it would be, per
haps, better to apply the cotton seed be
fore the first harrowing—then sow good
wheat at the rate of three to five pecks
to the acre, according to the quality of
the land, and harrow all well in the
ground. After harrowing in the seed,
run a roller over the field to press the
earth around the wheat and leave the
surface smooth and clear.
If theso directions are followed, a good
crop may be expected. But, as we sta
ted before, better not sow at all than to
bow after the old plan. The wheat sown
according to these directions will be
ready for the scythe by the 15th or the
HOth of June. It will come in at the
very pinch of the work for another crop,
and when bought corn has caused you
to have poor, weak and broken down
stock. The new wheat will revive your
stock and enable you to save your crop
from next year’s grass.
The planters of Middle Georgia must
make up their minds to adopt one of two
alternatives. They must either deter
mine to make their own provision crop,
or they must sell out their lands to some
•one that will. The planting of cotton
at 121 to 13 cents a pound will break
nine-tenths of the planters of this section
—those who plant cotton alone and rely
upon the sale of cotton to purchase corn,
fcay, bacon, flour and all the necessaries
«<f life, which can and ought to be raised
rm the plantation. We know that plan
ters say they “can’t raise hogs now—the
negroes steal them too much.” The
truth is, doubtless, that the negroes are
troublesome in this respect, but what we
learn £ro©i planters generally with whom
we have spoken on this subject, they do
not steal more than before the Avar, if so
much. The great trouble about raising
hogs, is that planters have nothing to
Taise them upon. They hardly buy corn
enough to keep their mules from starv
ing, and as for hogs, they don’t pretend
*to feed them. In this latter particular
they are nght. They cannot afford to
pay $2 per bushel for corn to raise hogs
on. But let them raise them— raise their
owu corn in abundance—let them sow
large wheat and oat crops, and then they
can raise bacon—raise enough despite
the fact that the negroes may take some.
Preservation op Grain. —At a
meeting of the Academy of Science,
held in Paris a few years ago, a letter
from M do Semchoff —a Russian land
holder—was read, describing the man
ner in which corn pits are made in that
country. The pit is dug in a dry soil,
and instead of masonry, the sides are
hardened by long continued exposure to
a wood fire. Before the corn is intro
duced, the air in the pit is rurified by
burning some straw in it, after which
the grain is thrown in, packed close and
the pit tightly enclosed. Corn has been
preserved in such pits for forty years. —
Some of our Western farmers and mill
ers who raise large crops of wheat and
corn, should try this method of preserv
ing grain during years when there is a
great yield, in order to lay up a store for
seasons of an inferior yield.
A trial of this kind was soon after
made in Paris. 2,175 bushels of Amer
ican wheat were by way of trial enclosed
in two silos of sheet iron—large cylin
ders sunk in the ground—and were care
fully closed, sealed and covered. In ex
actly one year the seals were removed in
the presence of two delegates from the
War office, and several members of the
commission for military stores. The
grain was then subjected to a strict ex-
unanimously declared to
be exactly the same as when it was sealed
up. The of preserving corn by
means of silos dikes not exceed five cents
per bushel, while all danger of loss by
fire or vermin is obviated.
The corn crop of the United
States is unprecedentedly large. From
Cincinnati to St. Louis the whole coun
try is almost literally one /'rent corn
field. Added to the extraordinary crop
in the old producing States, hundreds
of thousands of bushels have been mar
keted from Kansas and other States west
of the Mississippi, which have never be
fore cultivated beyond their own capac
ity for consumption.

A MAN called another an extortioner
fbr sueing him. “ Why, my friend,”
replied the man who brought the suit,
“ I did it to oblige you!” “To oblige
me, indeed ! how so “ Why, to ob
lige you to pay it.”
Smut in Wheat, &c. —From the
proceedings of the American Institute
Farmers’ Club, we take the following
paragraph:
Mr. Curtis said, smut is a fungus su
perinduced by the character of the seed,
the condition of the atmosphere and the
noil, or one, or all. Hence, the impor
tant, as a preventive, and a change of
soil. If smut appears in a crop of wheat,
I would not sow seed from it it other
seed could be procured, nor would I suc
ceed that crop with another of wheat,
but raise my own breadstuffs in another
field. Soaking the seed in brine and
liming it is said to kill the smut. It is
said to be a good practice, any way, and
during the operation the light seed and
foul stuff arising on the top ought to be
skimmed off. The seeds of smut are
the spores of the fungus, which can be
transmitted, and will grow in favorable
circumstances, just like chess or any
other vegetable production. Tn answer
to the question. What makes smut
grow? I can only say that the same
Being who makes us all grow.
That’s What’s the Matter
Cap.
A speciuien of the genus “ Hoosior ”
was found by Captain , of the
steamer , in the engine room of
his boat while lying at Louisville, one
fine morning. The Captain inquired
what he was doing there.
“Have you seen Captain Perry ?” was
the interrogative response.
“ Don t know him; and can’t tell
what that has to do with you being in
my engine room,” replied the captain an
grily.
Hold on, that’s just what I was get
ting at. You see Captain Perry asked
me to take a drink, and so—l did; I
knew that I wanted to drink, or I
shouldn’t have been so very dry. So
Captain Perry and I went to the ball—
Captain Perry was putting in some ex
tras on one toe. I sung out, “Go it
Captain Perry, if you bust your biler.”
With that a man steps up to me, says
he, “See here, stranger, you must leave.’,
Says l, “what must I leave fur ?” Says
he, “Your’e making too much noise.”
Says I, “I’ve been in bigger crowds than
this and made more noise, and didn’t
leave nuther.” With that he took mo
by the nap of the neok, and seat of the
breeches and I left.
As I was shoven down the street, I
met a lady—l knew she was a lady by
a remark she made. Says she, “young
man. I recon you’ll go home with me.”
Poilteness wouldn’t let me refuse, and
so I went, id been in the house but a
minute when I heard considerable knock
ing at the door. I know’d the chap
wanted to get in, whoever he was, or he
wouldn’t have kept up such a tremen
dous racket. By and by says a voice,
“Efyou don’t open, I’ll bust in the
door.” And so he did. I put on a bold
face, and says I, “Stranger does this wo
man belong to you ?” Says he, “Sle
does.” “Then,” says I, “she’s a lady, I
think, from all that I have seen of her.”
“With that he came at me with a
pistol in one hand and a bowie knife in
the other, and being a little pressed fur
room, I jumped through the window,
leaving the bigger portion of my coat
tail. As I went streaking it down town
with the fragment fluttering in the
breeze, I met a friend. I knew he was
a friend by a remark he made. Says he,
“Go it, bob-tail, he’s gaining on you.”
And that is the way I happened to be
in your engine room. I’m a good swim
mer, Captain, but do excuse me, if you
please, from taking water.
i
Uncle Billy’s Speech.
When I was a drunkard, I could
never get my barn more than half lull.
The first year after I signed the pledge,
I filled my barn, and had two stacks;
this year 1 filled my barn and have four
stacks. When 1 was a drunkard, I
owned only one poor old cow, and I
think she must have been ashamed of
me, for she was red in the face; now I
own five fiood cows, and I own three as
good horses as ever looked through a
collar. When I was a drunkard, I
truged from place to place on foot; now
I can ride in a carriage of my own.—
When I was a drunkard I was three
hundred dollars in debt; since I signed
the total abstinence pledge, I have paid
that debt, and have purchased two hun
dred acres of wild land, and 1 have the
deed in my possession; two of my sons,
who are teetotallers, are living on that
lot. When l was a drunkard I used to
swear; I have ceased to be profane.—
The last year’s of my drunkenness my
doctor’s bill amounted to thirty dollars;
since I signed the pledge, I have not
been called upon to expend a red cent
for medicine. I am not a poet, but I
have paid my farewell to rum in verse :
Farewell, drunks, so nigh and handy;
Farewell, rum and gin and brandy;
Farewell, empty pots and kettles;
Farewell, cupboards Avithout “vittalj”
Farewell, rooms free to all weather;
Farewell, beds which have no feathers.
Farewell, floors that need a swab-file :
Farewell, yards that have no woodpile.
Farewell, faded vests and breeches:
Farewell, coats more holes than stitches;
1* arewell. hats that have no rims on;
Farewell, faces red as crimson;
Farewell, tubs that have no bacon;
Farewell, ways that I have forsaken;
Farewell, broken chairs and tobies;
Farewell, dwellings worse than stables;
Farewell, oaths that I have spoken;
Farewell, vows that I have broken;
Farewell, landlords and bar-tenders ;
Farewell, all blue-devil senders.
At Baxter, Kansas, recently, Mr.
Max. Samuels, a clothing merchant, and
his clerk, Mr. Maz Horn, were both
stoopiug together unpacking some goods,
when a double barreled gun shook down
from the wall, and both barrels discharg
ing, they were both shot and killed in
stantly.
