eYitig our Heida with growing crops
thrungli 11)0 winter wits discussed ut
Home length, Increased acrcugo in
oats, barley, and .especially ryej wdieat
also grasses and clovers, was earnestly
advocated. Tho moro we rclloet upon
tho matter, thc greater its importance I
Impresses us. lt \? not too late yet in
much of thc cotton belt to start these
crops, and for this reason it is again
brought to notice. In tho coldest por
tion of tho cotton, belt, wheat sowing
Yi?'n'bfcgiv? this mouth, and rye and
barley may bo seeded down well into
next month. Abundant opportunity,
therefore, exists to do this convcrvat
?Hg work. We are trying to improve
our lands; every wide-awake
farmer is diligently husbanding and
gathering materials for composts; let
us not neglect thc means of holding on
to tho fertility alroady acquired. In
machinery a ratchet-wheel is all im?
lortant-its equivalent is not less so
in agrlclulturo. Wc cannot afford to
ose anything wc liavo gained; what?
iver manurial clements thc present
crop has failed to utilize must bc held
tn reserve for succeeding crops. Tins
ts just as necessary as thc annual ap
plication of new doses of plant food.
Wc aro not unmindful of the cost of
iced and of seeding under thc propos
ed arrangement. Lot us study every
?HIMni tor reducing it; economizing
power or labor is a great desideratum
lu our farming. If called upon to
ii mr le ont the most important item just
low in tho linc of progress, wc would
unhesitatingly select economy of pow?
;r. Our ?mechanical appliances ato
not equal to thc demands of thc time
or of our sui roundings. Wc do not
substituto horse-power in place of
human muscle sufficiently, and wc fail
to get the full benefit of horse power
by making it work through inadequate
or imperfect implements. Wc have
been studying fertilizers very diligent
ly during the last fifteen years; wc arc
pretty well advanced in thc chemistry
of tlie farm. .Let us concentrate our
thoughts now for awhile on the
mechanics of thc farm; let us lind out
how to produce thc greatest with thc
least labor. Consider what a revolu
tion in our farming the general intro
duction has brought about. Who
would go bach to the shovel and scoot
er in tlic cultivation of a crop? But
* has tho sweep, or its better substitute,
tho scrape, exhausted our ingenuity or
sot bounds to useful contrivances? lt
is, or should bc, but thc beginning of a
thorough revolution in the mechanical
appliances of tho farm. In the prepa
ration of laud our ingenuity lins not
advanced beyond thc gathering up and
burning of procious vegetable matter
to get it out of the way, or else with a
turn-plow of burying it in one thin
continuous sheet several inches below
tho surface. Neither of these arc at
all desirable. Implements arc needed
which ?halt cul up and comminute
weeds, grass, stubble, stalks or what
not, andlcavo them ill condition for
any form of plow desired to mingle
them uniformity with thc soil. Thc
screw pulverieer, the Disc harrow, etc.,
aro the beginnings in this direction.
Such implements, if perfected and pro
vided with seeding attachments, would
make the putting in of grain and
grass a very light joh. A man and
four horescs could put in eight or ten
acres a day. Contrast this with the
old style of man and horse and scooter
finishing up one a day.
Profit is tho difference between cost
of production and gross sales, and
cheapness ot production is more apt to
bring godd profits than large yields
with heavy expense account. But
meanwhile, until thc necessary imple
ments arc perfected, let us do the best
wc can with such as wc have. Double
shovels, sweeps, cultivator-, harrows,
judiciously used arc decided improve
ments on singlc-shovola and scooters,
and a diligent farmer can, with these,
sow down a very large quant it v of land
from thc first of September to thc .first
of December.
Of thc various anti-leachlng crops,
rye and burr clover arc thc most prom
Ising, and the reader is urged to take
thc necessary steps now to raise an
abundance ofsted of each of them tor
next year's usc. Homo-raised seed
comparatively little; why should a
farmer pay from one to one and a half
dollars per bushel tor rye, when he
can raise it for fifty cents a bushel or
less, just because a majority neglect to
sow rye, and have to pay whatever thc
few who do raise it choose to ask? ^jlf
tho practice of sowing rye on our bare
lands should become gencr.il, seed rye
would go a begging. Hut all not
needed for sowing could bo profitably
fed to stock; ground rye is a most c.x
cclledt horse food, and thc superfluous
grain, together with thc abundant pas
turage afforded by thc practice advo
cated, would more than pay tho ex
penses of it.
Partly for thc work of conservation
and partly for the value of thc crop
itself to th? fainer'.- family and labor
ers, tba sowing of wheat recommceris
itself. Wc aro fully aware that thc
cotton belt is not thc home of tho wheal
plant, sud that only thc hardier varie
ties of it can there bc grown with rea
sonable hopo of profit. Ked, bearded
varieties, like tho Mediterranean, nrc
most to bc relied on, and early matur
ity is a matter of prime importance.
Wheat raising in the cotton belt fur
nishes an instance where extremes ?rc
butter than tho proverbially safe incaiiR.
Bost profits como either from a few
acros not fertilized at all and very
lightly seeded. In view of thc desira
bility of having growing crops on as
largo areas as possible during winter,
tho practice of sowing from a half
bushel lo three pecks of seed per acre,
without manure and with least expen
diture of labor, is probably upon thc
whole preferable to tho intensive ar
v.? ugo nu. it whero ono has an abund
ance of land. It was a good deal in
vogue before the late war; without
previous preparation of soil, tho seed
was sown and plowed in. In good
wheat years fair crops was harvested;
in adverse seasons failures followed.
,The cost of Reed is ?mall, and if tho
friowing in ls done with a wido cutting
mplcmant, like an Acme or Disc har
row, tito labor expense is small like
wise. The highest and driest soils
should bejsolected for whoat-red land
bettor than gray. Mucky soils, or
such as abound in organic, aro, as a
mle, unsuited to this crop; limo soils
best of all.
In thc olden time, cotton seed and

L'oriivian gunilo woi'c rcgardtj 1 ns tho n
best manures for wheat and tv boro ono s
wishes to fertilize hoavily, tho sui)- j
stances named furnish an excellent s
clue to thc wants of the crop; both, in i
tho first pince, arc highly nitrogenous 1
manures. Universal experience con- I
firms tho indispensability of this sub- t
stance to a wheat crop; it must have a i
full supply of available nitrogen to i
produce lange yiolds. But tho two |
urticlcs mentioned contain in addition :
to nitrogen a fair supply of phosphates
and test experiments have given addi
tional proof of tho value of phosphorn,
acid to wheat. Five hundred pounds
of acid phosphate to an acre would
supply liberal (plantilles of tho sub
stance most needed hy a wheat crop,
and ought, under favorable conditions,
to produce large yields. Both of these
f?rtil Izo 1*8 may bc plowed or harrowed
in with the seed. In high culture the
surface soil should bo brought into thc
finest tilth bolbro thc seed is sown, by
repeated plowings, rollings ami bar
rowings, and especially if the seed arc
harrowed or brushed in, a good roll
ing should follow and completo thc
work. Thc "finning" of the surface
so>' is done by thc roller makes the
seed come un more uniformly and
gives vigor lothc young plants hy pre
venting to free exposure of their roots
to air and dampness.
Whether land for wheat should be
very deeply brokon in our climate
admits of doubt. AH wc all know, tho
worst enemy of wheat is the red rust,
anil this is more apt to attack a crop
on damp than on dry land. Hence a
dry May is so favorable to wheat.
, lint a deeply broken soil, and especial
ly one lilied with humus, dries oil
much more slowly in thc spring '.han
a shallow, broken one; there conics
tho danger from deep breaking.
Moreover, as the soil and subsoil arc
usually wet in winter anti therefore
sott and penetrahle by roots, there is
thc same necessity of deep breaking
for winter crops thal there is for those
of summer. Hoots can work their was
quito readily through unbroken soil in
thc carly spring while it is wet and
soft, and a wheat crop is general! ma
tured before the ground gots so dry as
to bo very hard.
Perhaps thc best time to sow wheat
is a week or so bclorc tho average date
of a killing frost; this, of course,
varies with dilTcrcnt localities. In thc
northern portions of the cotton belt, it
is not far from thc 25th of October:
towards thc (Juli* it approximates thc
middle of November. From the mid
dle of October to the middle of Novem
ber, or even thc fust December covers
the period of wheat sowing. Tho
Hessian liv and other insects are not
likely ti inj uro a crop winch comes up
after a killing frost. Hut for lhc.-c
insect enemies, wheat might bc sown
earlier with corrcsponpimr hastening
in thc spring, with more likelihood of
escaping rust. Thc early settlors ol
Middle Georgia, we arc told, so mo
biles sowed wheal, in August and
made line crops, and it would bc well
to try on a small scale early sowing
again. On rich land such sowings
might come forward too rapidly and
shooting up, before hard freezes, might
get killed. This might be obviated by
light grazing. On poor land there is
little danger in this direction; hence
one should make thc earliest sowings
ul'all kinds of al! kinds of grains on
the poorest lands and finish up with
thc richest. Oats, sown on poor land
as carly as thc last of August, aro not
likely to head out bclorc frost; bul if
in any kimi of grain jointing threatens
to begin by the 1st ot November or
before, a little judicious grazing with
calves or sheep in dry weather will
remedy the trouble.
October is usually a dry moni li and
very favorable to the housing of crops.
This work should now be pushed for
ward with energy: everything keeps
better when put away in hulk, if thc
air is dry at the time it is bulked.
Corn is now fully dry and ready bu
llio crib; true it may remain longer ia
thc field, but the longer il is loll, the
greater will be the waste. Overhaul
the crib before putting in thc new
crop; make il. rat-proof by setting oil
pillars capped with sheels of tin or
Sheet-iron, Sweep out all rubbish,
brush down the walls, and paint the
inside top, bottom and sides with
coal tar or crude carbolic acid; this
will kill insects and keep them out.
lu localities where the weevil is very
bad, Inls painting may be removed at
intervals on all uncovered portions of
the interior walls. Where there is
house-room it is better to put corn
away in the shuck; it will keep better
and thc shucking will afford employ
ment for rainy days during winter.
Forage of any kind cut early in thc
months will bc apt to cure well.
Forage corn, cut and put up at once
in shocks., three to lour feet across at
base, will cure well without additional
handling. It soon shrinks enough to
allow good ventilation throughout the
shock. Tho important point is to
build up the shock right; sec that each
armful of stalks as they are added to
it are well settled on thc ground.
With a rope with loop at one end,
draw the shook up as lighly as posi
ble in thc middle and tie securely with
a ropo of grass or stalks; put another
around the shook near thc top. Thus
built, it will shed rain and withstand
wind for many weeks or until per
fectly cured. Millo maize, sorghum,
etc., may be cured in saino manlier;
thc Borghuin gets limber and is more
disposed to fall down. Perhaps thc
better plan with it is, as soon as cool
weather sets in, to bury in trenches
like the ribbon cane. Wc have been
feeding out horses and mules for
some weeks wit sorghum (carly amber)
allowed to ripen as if intended for
syrup making. Tho whole plant is
run through a cutter, stalk, blades and
heads, and about a bushel given to each
animal at a Iced-no other feed given
except a half gallon of bran once a
day. They relish it finch* and it ap
pears to agree with then in all res
pects but one-it is rather t >o laxativo
-and in some animals irritates the
bowels. This effect ls moro marked
in some animals than others; scarcely
observable in mules. They can digest
coarse food better than horses, and wo
are inclined to suspect that i?, is thc
outer casting of tho stalk with its hard
fibre that irritates the bowels. Proba
bly the difficulty might bc corrected
by giving only ?nc or two feeds a day
of the sorghum, or by mixing it With
dry feed of some kind, as is customary
in feeding dry ensilage. Lumps of
rock salt aro kept in Ibo mangers all ,
the time. This is our first trial with ?
sorghum in this form; have seen it
fOwn with poas and tho mixed hay of '
poavines and sorghum food to stock
with good results. If sorghum can bo !
utilized in this manner successfully, it
will bo a very valuablo addition to
our collection of stock feed, aa it is so
onaily raised. Will not other* bc kind
enough to report their experience with ?
it? i
Late sown peas will bc ready to out <
ind ?tire now. After all that has been
nggOstc?l about methods of curing
icu-vineFj it is doubtful it'any plan is
ittporlor to tho old fashioned one of
airing in rail pens. Instead of boards
aid on without nailing and kepi down
>y weights, (dank an inch and a quat'
cr thick, of proper length, will found
nore convenient and more effective as
t covering. A good supply of such
planks should be kept on every farm
for temporary shelter purposes. A
loaded wagon, a pile of hay or other
stud'could be roofed In a few minutes
against a threatening rain. When not
in use they could be stored under
theltor and would last for years. Tho
next bust plan is to eut and stack the
villes at once, without drying, around
a .--ceoml growth pine with low branch
ing limbs, tho ends of the limbs being
cul oil*so as to make thc outlines of
tho tree after il is trimmed cone shap*
cd. The limbs prevent thc vines from
settling down too closely and thc
shrinkage in drying gives a plenty of
ventilation. Of course brush or rails
raised above thc surface, arc placed
around the bottom of the tree to keep
vines off the ground, lt is well also to
caj> willi hay or straw, as pen-vines do
not siied water very well. After thoy
arc well cured, put up in barns, as
such stacks will not bear long exposure
to weather.
Much crab-grass hay can be saved
on every farm; cut when lu bloom, or
a little after, the quality ls excellent.
Most of that which is usually saved is
cul too late, tho seeds having already
formed and drawn from thc stalks and
leaves their most valuablo contents.
Thc seed usually drop oil, and add
nothing of value lo thc hay. A train
ed hand, with a good reap-hook, can
cut a great deal of this grass in places
where the mowing blade cannot reach
it. "Swamp grasses, if cut early just
in bloom, make gootl medium hay for
cuttle and mules, but as in thc case of
crab-grass (hey arc generally cul too
late. Never lot grass, aft Ot it is partly
dried, lake dew ; all that is cut beforo
two or three o'clock should be put up
in cocks just before night, and as fast
as it cures, sovoral small oooks should
be brought together and put into one
large cock. Thc rule is to expose as
possible to dew, rain or sun, and a
large cock has less surface ill propor
tion to its contents than a small one.
Wc have havo often tried to cure
potato vines, bul without success. A
week or so, however, before the usual
time for digging potatoes thc vines
may be grazed oil'without appreciable
injury to the crop. Most persons pre
fer to dig after the vines are singed by
frost, and thc work is usually dom;
from thc 25th of October to the' lOtll of
November. If thc ground is dry, so
that there is no danger of injury from
freezes, il ls well to defer thc digging
as late as possible, us it is desirable
that thc polatOC8 should he cool after
thoy arc dug- -coolness, dryness and as
lillie variation of temperature as pos
sible are the conditions requisite for
keeping potatoes. The temperature of
Ila* interior of thc hank or hill should
neuer fall below forty degrees, and if
practicable not raise above sixty. lu
warm weather it would bc diffloillt lo
keep the tom porat uro down to sixty;
therefore we say it is best to put up
potatoes after the weather ha? become
settled sold. Thc sinking below forty
degress is to bo guarded against by a
liberal covering of pine straw, corn
stalks, etc , finished oil'with a layer of
earth. Alter the straw ts compressed,
it ought to bo six inches thick ,tud the
layer ol'dirt on outside from six inches
lo a fool, according to the severity of
the climate. The thicker thc coaling
of straw and dirt, the slower the
changes of temperature in tho interior
of the hank; this, therefore, is a very
good means of preventing sudden
variatiotion from warm to cold or the
reverso. Another is to protect the
hank from direct sunshine. A ther
mometer heing in the shade will show
less variating of temperature during
the twenty-four hours of night and day
than one hung in Ibo sunshine. For a
like reason a shaded potato hank will
have a more uniiorm temperature than
one exposed to the sun during the
day and to free radiation at night.
Potatoes go through a sweating process
soon after they are hanked; it is well,
therefore, to have a ventilator through
thc the centre of thc bank and an
opening at thc top during' thc first
three or four weeks after they arc put
up. Subsequently thc opening should
bo thoroughly closed, not only with
straw, but with dirt likewise. Exclude
air, exclude moisture, and exclude
light; koop thc temperature uniform
hot or cold -these arc the requisitos
for preservation. Thc potato is a
tropical plant; in thc tropics there arc
two seasons, the wet and thc dry. In
its relations to vegetation, the former
takes the placeo!"our summer, and the
latter of our winter. Vegetation is
more or less dope udotlt during lhe dry
season. Th?* sweet potato bridges it
over by its tubers, which remain un
changed in the dry hot soil. Thc tem
perature of thc soil, though high, is
uniform, and this uniformity, together
with absence of moisture, keeps thc
tubers dormant. A cool s<dl would bc
better if above freezing point, because
heat is one of the stimulants to germi
na! ion, or sprouting, which ls similar
to germination, ami to rotting, which
is always au accompaniment, of germi
nation. The sweetening of tho yam
during winter is evidence ol' a slow
chcinic.il chango in its contents-its
starch heing gradually converted into
sugar and thus made soluble ami fit to
nourish to young sprouts, which, in
tho course of nature, arc soon to ap
pear. The gradual approach of cold
weather, and thc dryness ol' October
in temperate climates, prepare thc
potato for its period of dormancy, but
man must guard it. against moisture,
freezing and changes of temperature
in its new home. This is most cflect
uallv done af thc South in banks con
structed in thc manner mentioned
above; nt thc North they nrc kept in
cellars Artificially, tho heat, being

There were many witnesses examin
ed in thc Hellingcr-Rilcy killin?; on
Monday. Thousands assembled in
front ot tho "lire-proof building," as
tbcv generally do on such occasions.
The verdict was that "Bellinger killed
Kiley." No reason assigned. Thc
correspondit is a personal friend of
Dr. Bellinger, who i. pcrhnps as
prominent a physician as thero ts in
Charleston, Thora was groat ex
citement at thc Inquest. lu fact thc
crowd was worse my stilled after than
they were ut tl ac inquest. Nearly nil
thc witnesses s voro that Dr. Bellinger
shot Kiley for entiling him a "sou of a

except one, Mr. Kolniid Alston, who
was a witness, was intoxicated while
testifying, and insulted both liio coro
ner and Edwin ll. White, Cliuirmnm of
(lie County Coin missioners. They both
laughed him to scorn. Dc testified in
favor of Kiley, as if prejudiced or paid.
The gist ol the whole inquest wau
this, except one witness. About a
dozen witnesses testified that Dr. Bel
linger un braided) lilley for "beating" a
horse, und Kiley said: "I nm not
.beating,' but 'whipping' the horse."
This occurred Friday night. The next
morning Dr. Bellinger came in and
said oaths and vituperation bad passed
bet ween them, lt is not known, but
the only witness whom thc jury trusted
much was Mrs. Holmes, sin- said:
"I saw Kiley leaning on his Mable
fence. Dr. Bellinger came up. Dr.
Bellinger said, when I first benni him:
.Damn you, yon .were there, and you
know nil nbotit it.' Kiley snid: .Dock,
no I don't ; I wits not there.' Thc
Doctor said: 'Damn you, you were.
1 nm going to shejot you' (tiruwing a
pistol). Kiley folded his hands sups
plicatingly in front of him and said:
.Doctor, don't kill mo, I wasn't lhere'
Then thc Doctor (ired six times, his
victim falling nllcr tho fifth shot-all
the other witnesses makin?; bim fall at
the first shot." Thc general opinion
is that Dr. Bellinger shot Kiley for
some other cause besides the fuss about
the horse. Thc correspondent has
interviewed twenty-three of tho best
citizens of Charleston. They all be
lieve it was not thc fuss about the
horse.
A later special from Charleston lo
thc same paper says: "The excite
ment here is unabated, but the opinion
has ci.ystnlizcd that Dr. Bellinger did
not kill Kiley because of (he fuss
about the horse. If thc killing had
been in self-defence the Inst live ?hots
would not have been fired, since the
first placed thc deceased hors de com
bat, ll is rumored ?bout the city that
n certain member of Dr. Bellinger's
family has entered tho Dominion of
Canada since thc killing, and he says
he would rather die than disclose tho
reason of thc killing. Thc universal
opinion in this city is that Hie trial will
ilibclose a social condition of nffnirs
that nobody dreamed existed herc.
Much ol thc evidence lin? been sup.
pressed on local accounts. Mrs.
tlolmes's account was only partly pub

War ?renlos attachments moro last

severed except in death. An incident of
the war established between General
Rosecrans and General S. W. Prioe,
of tliia city, pi im I i or relations,
which so far as General Rosocrans
is coiiceruod, seem never to lo.se their
force. In tho lurriblo Htrtigglo of Stone
rivor, when Gen. Rosecrans' right was
forced back nod almost crushod by the
coufedorato advance, Goo. Hosccrans
sought out (?eu. Pri?e, then in com
mand of a brigade and holding n posi
tion of great importance, und addressed
him thus:
"(ion. Price, you command hero, do
youP"
"Yos, sir."
"Well, sir, will you hold this ford?"
"I will try, goneral."
..Will you hold this ford?"
"I will die in tho nttonipt."
'.That won't do," replied Gon. Rose
crans. "Sir, will you hold this ford?
Look mo in tho oyo and tell mo if you
will hold this position?"
Gen. Pri?e answorod: "I will."
"That will do," replied Gon. Koso
crans. "I bid you good day."
Gen. Prico rudoomod his promise; ho
hold tho ford. On tho following day
his brigado boro tho brunt of General
Rrockinridge's awful chargo with his
division of Kentuckiun's, and Gonoral
Rosecrans, for his gallantry mid cour
ago on thoso two days, promptly and
oarnostly roconimondod Gon. Prico for
promotion.
Tho attachment of thoso two ofttcors
was commited as tho war continued.
Later on, at tho bnttlo of Kennesnw
mountr.ii), Gen. Prico was dangerously
wounded at tho bond of his brigado in
a chargo upon a confederate fort, and
bocamo separated by tho vicissitudes of
war from his old commander, but Gon.
Koscmans never forgot tho hero of the
ford of Stono river. Ho watched tho

Those wini insist that I'ol ash is a poison
