AGRICULTURAL.
Sprintr Oats.
The recurrence of two moderately good
corn crops, has had the effect to lessen
somewhat the dependence placed io oate,
and the area is probably decreasing. We
have all along insisted that oats are a more
economical and more reliable crop than
com. takiner a series of years together.
Winter killing of the fall sown, or droath-
killiog of the spring-sown are the only
-causes of failure, both of which may be
pretty well guarded against. Oats sown
in spring do beat in February and should
be sown on rich or well manured land, and
the ground should be put in the best con
dition by deep, close plowing. The ten
dency is to sow rather too thickly. We
doubt if a grain more is made by sowing
more than three bushels of oats on the
very beat prepared and richest soils. On
ordinary soils, capable of producing ten
to fifteen bushels of corn per acre, on to
one and a half bushels of seed per acre are
enough.
The absolute loss which is the result of
winter-killing of oats is apt to be greatly
exaggerated. One of the chief practical
precautions agaiust winter-killing is to
provide an abundance of home-raised seed,
so that the land may be re-sown in Feb
ruary if the oats shall have been killed in
Jsnuary. If killed too late for re-sowing,
the land is just right for corn, or other
summer crop. But in fact it is extremely
rare for oats to be killed after the middle
of Febrarry, while they often succed well
sown ia March. Southern Cultivator.
Care of Wood Ashes.
Wood ashes are an excellent manure for
most soils. Even when analysis show
potash to be present, the wood ash is help
ful, since it contains more or less phos
phate, and its potash is in a form to liber
ate plant food in the soil that would other
wise be unavailable. There is no better
solvent for reverted phosphate, and the
drilling of wood ashes with phosphate for
grain crops makes the fertilizer much more
efficient than it would otherwise be. But
a good deal of care is needed to save wood
ashes without endangering other property
from fires. It is not the presence of live
coals that causes this danger usually.
These are generally pretty well guarded
against. The great danger is from spon
taneous combustion in ashes that have
gathered dampness, and whose potash has
by absorption of nitrogen been changed to
saltpetre. This in contact with wool,
woolen rags or any oily substance will
generate fire. Ashes should, therefore,
never be left in woolen receptacles. Old
barrels, so often used for this purpose, are
most dangerous of all. It does not cost
much to build a stone or brick ashhouse,
using it also for a smokehouse avoids two
of the most common sources of destructive
.fires among farm buildings. American
Cultivator.
New Species of Cotton
During the summer of 1885 Hector C.
Baily, a colored man living in Harnett
county, N. C, discovered on the band of
the Cape Fear river a plant resembling
cotton. The growth and leaf of this plant
being so peculiar, he determined to watch
it closely. In the fall he found it had pro
duced cotton, the fibre of which was re
markable for its length and very fine and
silky in texture. He carefully saved the
seed and each year the parent plant was
exactly produced in all its peculiar char
acteristics. The leaf is small and finger
shaped, thus allowing the sunlight and air
free access to the bolls, causing a more
rapid and perfeot ripening, at the same
time preventing rot .and mildew, which
always affects the common plant in pro
longed wet weather and more frequently
In rich bottom lands. The season of 1888
Bailey had seed enough to plant one acre,
from which he raised two bales which
yielded from 38 to 42 pounds of lint to
the 100 of seed cotton. Cotton experts
who have examined the lint claim that it
is the only variety of cotton that can be
successfully raised in the interiorcapable of
competing with the Sea Island in staple.
In November, 1887, Baily refused $86 per
bushel for the seed, but we learn that par
ties in Raleigh have formed a company to
be known as the "Bailey Cotton Com
pany," and have bought the entire crop of
Bailey seed aud the right to plant and sell
the same.
A Good Fertilizer.
The excrement of domestic fowls is a
highly concentrated mass of nitrogenous
soluble animal and mineral matter. I
have used it more or less for mauy years,
and have never known it to fail. My usual
method is a very simple one. I haul, dur
ing the summer, a load of fine muck, and
spread a portion of it under the root.?.
Every few days, as occasion requires, I
worked it over so as to cover the hen
manure. From time to time I throw more
muck over the other, so that by cold
weather the load of muck becomes pretty
well saturated and pulverized. I have a
cask of plaster near by from which I oc
casionally spread a Email quantity aud
Bhovel or dig it'over. When ready to use
in the spring, I put with it my leached
ashes, which were left from soapmaking.
I generally haul it all into the field, make
a stack and dig it over several times with
the hoe. Sometimes I mix some fine soil
with it.
I now have quite a pile of material ready
for use, and in such a condition that I am
not obliged to use a spoon, nor shovel, nor
shingle, but simply the hand. I usually
drop my ccrn and potatoes, and throw a
handful of this over the seed and cover it.
The plants invariably come up vigorously,
and when the value of this mixture is in
a measure exhausted, the stable manure is
in a condition to carry along the growth
without any checks. If I happen lo ha've
any old brine in the fall I sprinkle that on.
Such a compound is admirable in the
kitchen garden.
To make the most of the excrement, it
should be exposed as much as possible to
some absorbent, and nothing is better than
pulverized muck. Twenty-five hens will
make from thirty to - forty bushels of the
compound, according as attention is paid
to it, and it can be made so as to be easily
managed in dropping with the hand. The
more complete the mixture the more ef
ficient it will be. Maine Farmer.
Of William Jones, the great Welch
preacher, when asked by Dr. Bunting
what books he had read, replied, "I have
read the Bible. "But," said Dr. Bunting,
"have you read nothing else?" "Oh, yes,"
he said, "the Bible dictionary," meaning
the concordance. .He had read the Bible
and concordance, and I presume he knew
them from cover to cover. But what a
preacher this man was! His sermons
glowed with poetic imagery, kindled at
the alter of prayer, and the learned and
igncrant crowded to hear bim by thous
ands. jEx.
A Remedy for Hog Cholera.
Bro. H. G. Worsely of Roeky Mount,
famishes us with the following recipe for
the cure of hog cholera. He says he has
known it tried time and again in his neigh
borhood, and has used it himself io three
cases, and it proved effectual in every in
stance. Hfcsays: "When you find your
bog has cholera, give him a lump of tar
(I mean pine tar) as large as a hen egg.
Take it on a paddle and put it on the root
of his tongue and he will swallow it.
Then, immediately after, give him one
cup of elder juice. This is administered
by taking an old shoe and cutting a hole
in the toe; tike the hog by the fora feet
and stand him on bis hind feet, with bis
back toward you; insert the old shoe in
his month, when be squeals, aud pour the
elder juice in the shoe. This remedy was
told me by a colored man by the name of
Alfred Willeford, who lives near by. He
has had sick hog, but I have not known
of bis losing the first one, and I send you
this recipe fully believing that its publi
cation will prove a blessing to all farmers
who raise swine." Progressive Farmer.
Batter Making.
The improved model method now in
practice by the best butter makers gen
erally, is to stop the chum as soon as the
butter is collected in particles the size of
a wheat kernel. Just before this, when
the first signs of the separation of the but
ter are seen, the sides of the churn are
washed down with cool water usually
below sizty degrees, or about fifty-five de
grees to not only prevent waste, but to
harden the butter and ' make it easier to
handle. When the granules are the size
of wheat kernels, the butter is drawn off,
or the butter taken out of the buttermilk,
as the case may be. It the butter is left
in the churn, water is poured in to float
the butter, which is then gently agitated
a moment and the water drawn off. This
operation is repeated until the water runs
clear. The salt, after the butter is proper
ly drained, caa be carefully mixed with
the butter by stirring. When thoroughly
incorporated, barely pressing the butter
together in a solid mass is all that is
needed.. If one does not want butter very
salty to taste, it can be evenly and nicely
salted by completely wetting it with sat
urated brine, the carefully pressing the
granulated butter together and leaving in
it as muoh of the strong brine as will re
main. We have seen butter salted in this
way, and it was evenly and completely
salted, having in it no undissolved grains
of salt, but it' was not as salty as
some folke like. About an ounce to the
pound is good salting, but more or less
salt must be used to suit the taste of cus
tomers. U. S. Dairyman.
Vabieties op Maize. There are, ac
cording to Rev. Geo. Henslowe, more than
one hundred varieties of maize, which dif
fer among themselves mors than those of
any other cereal. Some come to maturity
in two months; others require seven. Some
are as many feet high as others are inches.
Some have kernels eleven times larger
than others. They vary similarly in shape
and size of ears, color of the grain, and
also in physical and chemical composi
tion. We find self-made men very of
ten, but self-unmade .ones a good deal
oftener.

class Harness for a small amount of money ever
offered in Charlotte. We are selling Merchan
dise to meet the wants of our trade, and, as mer
chants, know no reason why we should hesitate
to handle any and all lines in which we can

three dollais on three thousand sets of Harness
amounts to six thousand dollers. ; This sale will
save more than that to consumers of Harness.

due time.
We have added to the Stock of the Racket
5.000 rolls of Wall Paper, which we shall sell

out.

the hundreds of lines we are receiving. Two
hundred pieces Pacific Diagonal and Plain
Worsteds at the unheard of prices of 10 cents

How to Keep Onions.
Last week an experienced farmer writes:
"I see that some person through your col
umns has asked bow onions can be kept
from fiproutiog through the winter season.
The only way that it can be done in a
Southern climate is to keep them in a
very cold, dark place. Onions should
always be planted in September or Octo
ber, never in spring of the year in the
South, and keep only tboe you want for
domestic use or sale in the cold and dark
place." Greensboro North State. ;
