AGRICULTURAL.
Mr John W. Wadsworth's Farmine:.
Mr Wadswortb cultivates, near Char
lotte, one of the finest farms in the coun
try, and his great succesa with Wheat and
Oats is thus explained by him .in a letter
to a friend :
"You will remember that 12 years ago
you went with me over my farm, and that
it was so Door it would hardly sprout peas.
Well, I have used peas, then oats, and
ploughed my lands irom twelve to eign
teen inches deep. I used the Oliver chilled
plow, with three mules, following with the
Brinley sub-soil plow, also with three
mules; so you see 1 got my land ploughed
deep. If it did not rain in the summer, I
made a crop. The water soaked in the
grouricl, and did not run off.
Well, you know I have plenty of stable
manure. The. land that 1 made my best
crops of oats and wheat on is land that I
run my clover on, say three or four years,
then I turn under the last crop ot clover,
and sow my oats in September. I 60W
from four to five bushels of red rust-proof
oats to the acre, plough them in with a
shovel plow, and then harrow, so you see
my oats have ton months in which to grow.
My wheat I seed after clover, putting two
bushels to the acre, and plough the land
as above. I seed in November, and run
my Thomas harrow over the wheat in
February, and put two hundred pounds
of kainit to the acre. If you will write to
A. Springs, of Fort Mill, S. C, he will tell
you how he raised one hundred and twelve
bushels to the acre on bottom land. Our
farmers are finding out that August and
September are the months to seed oats.
There is hardly anything that we cannot
grow on our lands. 1 wrote to you some
time ago the amount of wheat and oats I
made on one acre. Forty-five aud a
quarter bushels of wheat and one hundred
and eight bushels of oats by measure, and
one hundred and fifteen by weight. Now
if you will come U see me in June I will
show you something pretty in the way of
oats, wheat, clover and grasses. I put up
three hundred and seventy-two loads of
clover and grasses in 1883, and think I
will be able to beat it this year.
What an Old Farmer Says.
This is the advice of an old man who
has tilled the soil for forty years:
I am an old man upwards of three score
years, during two scores of which I have
been rich and have all I need; do not owe
a dollar; have given my children a good
education, and when I am called away
shall leave them enough to keep the wolf
from the door. My experience has taught
me that
1. One acre of land well prepared and
well tilled produced more than two which
received only thesame amount of labor
used on one.
2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or hog
well fed is more profitable than two kept
on the same amount necessary to keep one
well.
3. One acre of clover or grass is worth
more than two of cotton where no grass
or clover is raised.
4. No farmer who buys oats, corn or
wheat, fodder and hay, can keep the sheriff
from the door to the end.
5. The farmer who never reads the pa
pers, sneers at book farming and jjnprove
ment8,always has a leaky roof, poor stock,
broken down fences,and complains of "bad
seasons."
6. The farmer who is above his business
and entrusts it to another to manage soon
has no business to attend to.
The farmer whose habitual beverage is
cold water is healthier, wealthier and
wiser than he who does not refuse to
drink.
Save the Forests.
The Forestry Association is working in
the right direction, It is trying to excite
the attention of the American people as
to the real value and importance of the
forests, and to induce them to preserve
them as far as possible. It urges upon
the States to make statutory provision for
their protection. The Star has again and
again brought this important matter to
the attention of its readers and in article
after article has essayed to show how
influential the forests are upon health and
production. It is thoroughly well estab
lished by scientific investigation that both
crops and stock-raising largely depend
upon moisture, and that moisturo is very
greatly affected by forests. We have be
fore copied from the German and French
reports that show what devastation to the
lands was wrought by stripping them of
the woods, and we have shown how in
many sections fertility has been gradually
restored by the planting of trees. Even in
the sand wastes of Egypt a lainfall has
been secured by planting trees above
Cairo. Wil. Star. '
Rowan County.
Rowan county is in a prosperous condi
tion. The leading farmers are manifest
ing a great interest in the culture of to
bacco. There have been a great number
of new tobacco barns built during the
fall and winter. The people of Rowan
county adopted the stock law several
years ago and it works like a charm.
Some who were most violently opposed
to it originally are now its strougest advo
cates. The law will uo doubt at length
become very popular throughout the
State. We perceive now the benefit of it
and only regret that there Is not a
general stock law. Inferior breeds of
hogs are playing out in this country.
The leading farmers are now stocking
themselves with thoroughbred Essex,
Poland, China, and Berkshires.
Sheep. The cost of keeping sheep is
not great, says a correspondent of the
American Cultivator, as a half-dozen sheep
will live where one cow would fiud enough,
and as they eat coarser food than the cow
they would subsist in many pastures where
cows would starve. If it is desired to
fatten old sheep, or force early lambs for
market, a few roots and a little grain will
do it easily. It is estimated that a sheep
will thrive well upon 3$ per cent of its
weight of good hay daily during the win
ter. Thus a sheep of 100 pounds weight
will Deed in five months about 500 pounds
of hay. If grain or roots be given, poorer
hay or straw may be used, keeping the
expense about the same. Such a sheep
should shear from five to six pounds of
wool and raise at least one good lamb.
Larger averages of wool are not uncom
mon, and it is not uncommon for many in
telligent breeders who rear improved
sheep to have their flocks average three
lamba to each two sheep, one-half the
flock having two lambs each.
SSjf Salt is recommended as a relief
for a dry, - hacking cough. Dissolve a
teaspoonful of pure salt in a wiceglassful
of water. Use this as a gargle just be
fore meal time.
Planting: Cotton.
Cotton land should be broken deep and
fine, in a dry subsoil especially, inerowf
should be layed off straight and regulai
in w idth. The distance between the rows
the fertilitv of the soil, the
kind of cotton to be planted, etc. From
three leet to tnree ana a uau m m
If the land is not loose and disposed to
wash, the rows should be horizontal and
just fall enough for each row to tafce m
vatAr o-radnallv to the ditch. As th
fertilizer is put in, a cotton plow should
follow with a shallow furrow to mix the
fertilizer with the soil and one or more
turning plows to follow the cotton plow
throwing two furrows together, forming
flat, riritre not too hierb. After this is done
the middles should be split with one deep
furrow with the cotton plow, making tn
slx(. rendv for nlantinff. tret the best seed
and pfant from one and a half to two and
a half bushels per acre. Stiff land re
quires more seed than light land. Cover
one inch deep. As the cotton begins to
p.nmfl iin. and esneciallv ll there has beeD
a heavy rain Bince planting, alight harrow
should be run over each row. mis win
add rrreatlv o the stand of cotton, will
give it a good start and kill millions of
youug grass. It should be ciearea oi
crass and taken to a stand when chopped
out, one and two stalks in the hill altern
ately, the cotton plow should follow close
up to the hoes, throwing dirt around the
roots, to prevent its (ailing down by
winds and rain. Replanting and trane
nlantinfr will Day. if done in time. If not
replant with bunch beans alone, corn, peas,
or melons should never grow in cotton,
keep it clear of srass and plow regular to
the first or tenth of August. Plowing
late, keeps down the grass, that troubles
in picking out and destroys the teed -lor
the next year. Early planting produces
best.
Silk Culture. Wo were pleased to
learn that the success of the colony of silk
culturists recently planted iu Moore county
is assured. The colonists already settled
are entirely satisfied with their prospects,
and many more are expected Boon to fol
low them. North Carolina is the home ol
the mulberry, and there is no reason why
the State with to-day's advanced knowl
edge of the subject should not gain as
great wealth from the rearing of silk
worms and the manutacture ot their pro
ducts as New Jersey, for instance,the lead
ing State at present in silk manufacturing.
The matter has received special attention
at the hands of the intelligent and erhcient
State Department of Agriculture, aud
that department will do all in its power
to foster the novel industry. Raleigh
Observer.
Cutting Potatoes. Potato-growers
when you cut your seed potatoes, cut each
piece to the center of the tuber, and with
not more than two eyes. The microscope
reveals hairy threads running from the
eye or bud to the central portion, showing
that it is fed by the starch of the potato.
Cut a week or two before setting, and
dust with dry lime or plaster. You
thus get an earlier crop. Stop all cultiva
tion after the vines show blossom, but
keep the cultivator or plow moving until
then. Hand weeds afterwards.

JST The Germantown Telegraph thus
informs its readers how to grow onions
"without labor :" "Prepare a bed," say 16
feet square, of proper fertility, cultivate
deep and rake it smooth and fine. Now,
lay on a board about one foot wide at one
side of your bed, stand on the board and
place your sets close to the edge, say four
inches apart, the entire length of the
board. Now, lay down another board one
and a hall inches from the other, place
your sets asjoefore, and proceed thus until
the bed is completed. Leave on the boards
till the onions have matured. Thus you
will have a nice bed of onions without la
bor, save the preparing of the bed and
placing of the sets."
