Agricultural
Sowing Spring Oats.
The Progressive Farmer.
A wise rotation, a gradual
dpepeninir of the soil. and sowing
' "I
small gram is the foundation of
successful farming. The best time
to sow oats is October 15th to
December 1st. There are no oats
that are specifically Winter or
Spring oats. Some varieties are
more easily killed by cold than
others. All, even the hardiest,
areolten killed when sown broadcast
or put in with a wheat drill.
The tenderest will stand the
hardest winter if put in withal
drill in the open furrows. These'
ore general principles. Now,
there is not enough small grain !
hown in all the cotton counties
to inaugurate a desirable rotative
system. Since the middle of
December the plows have been
standing still on account of rain.
Let every farmer sow all his
spare land in oats. lie has until
the 10th of March to do this
work. The sooner it is done the
better, provided the ground is
dry enough to break and harrow.
If you wish a good yield of heavy
grain, sow the Appier or Red
Rust Proof, Southern grown seed.
The Brest or ninety-day oats are
the earliest and well suited for
bot'om land, for they will come
off the first week of June, in time
for a corn crop. The Georgia

the grain is light. The advantage
of planting the early varieties
is that they will ripen June
5th to 15th, giving tiuie enough
to kow cowpeas. Land that, with
the aid ot 200 to 300 pounds of
fertilizer to the acre, will make
1.000 pounds of seed cotton, will
make 25 to 30 bushels of oats
and a ton and a halt ot peaviue
hay. The cost of the two crops
will be about half the cost of a
cotton crop. Do not use ammoniated
fertilizers with oats, but if
nitrogen is wanting apply 50 to
1>0 pounds of nitrate of soda,
March 20th to April 15th, and
run a smoothing harrow over the
land so as to cultivate the oats
and level the ridges. Mix 000
pounds of 14 per cent acid and
400 pounds of Kainit and apply
3 50 to 300 pounds to tLe acre
with the oats. It is better to
I
Mit 300 pounds, for the peas will
jd all that is not required by
oats. We have found the

Have a space in your foundation

Build tlie house 7 teet between

sesil inside and fill in with dry
sawdust which will make a
12 inch wall that will keep the
potatoes from freezing in cold
weather; use 2xl2>inch sleepers
and have an air-tight floor in
passage and stalls, on either side
of passage make the floor in the
stalls of 1x3 and leave 1-inch
cracks between the strips. You
can dump your potatoes into
these stalls and the air will come
under the 11 >or at the door and
whip around and cotne up
through the potatoes. Make a
loft as tight, as you can well get
it and cover that with sawdust

anu nave a six men ventilator
every fifteen feet and one or two
larger ventilators through the

If you dig in a very wet time
and the potatoes are full of sap,
place a heater in your passage
ani a thermometer to keep from
getting the house too warm 'and
dry the potatoes out. ^ When
the weather is very cold stop

Mr. Editor, I am a reader of
the Cultivator and enjoy it and
seeing some inquiry about keeping
potatoes, I give this plan
hoping that it may do some one
some good.

Stock Food Swindle.
Wheat Bran, Etc., Flavored
and Scented and Sold at
From $200 to $2,000 a
Ton.
The Raleigh Progressive Farmer
sounds a note of warning to
the fanners of the South about
what it calls the stock food
swindle. It says that one of the
most outrageous frauds now being
perpetrated upon the Ameri
can tanner is that of prepared
stock foods?common meal, bran,
etc., with a little cheap sulphur,
salt, Epsom salts, popper, salt
peter, etc., added to change the
taste, and the mixture (hardly
more valuable than ordinary
ship stuff) put up iu ilaming
packages, advertised in big illus
trated adH in farm papers, and
sold to gullible farmers at from
$250 to 2,500 a ton." The Pro
gressive Farmer says further,
that some time ago, the chief
Southern contributor of one of
the farm papers most largely
circulated in North Carolina and
adjoining States, wrote an ex
po.-ure of the whole miserable
fraud and sent, it to his paper.
"The reply came back: The
Blank Stock Food Company
pays us $3,000 a year for advertising,
and would lose it if we
were to print your letter. I'leaso
don't insist." It is quito proper
