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. -» »-■ Woman has this advantage over man; that his will has no operation till he is dead; whereas hers generally takes effect in her lifetime.
