Agricultural
Ttoughts for Farmers--Sowing
Oats.

f. C., wants information about
H>ving oats, lie says :
'1 saw in my paper. I think
fall, where some man sowed
iO in rows with either guano
Adributor or cotton planter*
^*;-ase find out and let me hear j
Itfongh your paper, and it will

?h? best and only safe method |
m> mowing or planting oats in the
> i is in open furrow. Director
lidding, of tlie Georgia Experi |
*joat Station, sent out many init-cries
last year to farmers who)
Ktxi used that method in the fall
and no one reported that
%Ii.>ir crops were winter killed.
4>~ie reported that there was a
'Ian stand, but that was no doubt
xvning to the careless manner in j
-idicb they were putin. The reg-1
*'*r oat drill is the implement to
we. This is made with a double
-Ajpper, the guano being in one
' ^rt and the oats in the other.
'*he slots may be regulated so as
^ pJant three pecks of oats to the
??:e and 100 pounds of guatio ; or
?.:-ee times that amount may be
in.
Mr:??ARATION OF LAND AND PLANTING i
failures to make small grain!
Bay be attributed to poor prepar !
fcion of land. First break the I
well, and if sub-soiled' so!
*isch the better. Then run a cutaway
or smoothing harrow over
i. If two or three weeks interwoe
between the harrowing and|
Wanting, harrow again just bebr*
planting. That will give a{
?ttooth. well pulverized seed-bed.
# course some of these farmers
\11 say that is too much trouble.
I. is much cheaper ro prepare
that way and make thirty to
"ft.:',y bushels to the acre than to
at.'fttch them in hurriedly and
ix.ke a little oat straw. The oats
Could be well cleared and the
iano in tine condition. A tivep.
di shovel sliould he used to
wa the furrows. L'roperlv used,
tt.it will leave the rows twelve
n tifteen inches apart. Nevt-i
tr) the dirt from one furrow run
%>.<er and till the preceding one.
Atv careful farmer will soon get
l. gauges right so to regulate
-ha quantity cf oats and guano.,
nlist farmers run the guano in
front fee l. It is deposited
s it-r the plow and covered by
i)9 dirt falling hack. 1 he oats
t nie out on tiiAt and are cover*
id by two coverers attached to j
tJie lrill. A lively hand puts in
ko acres a Jay. The furrows
nouM be run on a level, or as
uwr so as possible. Some prefer
I. run the oats in front anil the
iano in the rear.
MRIKTY OF OAT? \NP FKRTIt.l/KR. j
VIr. McOauley says he desire*
o sow his oats in July. He eer-1
einlv desires to harvest them in i
>oeeruber, unless h?* sows a very
?{s kind that makes mostly
liraw If this land is ready top
*;w in July, better harrow occa-|
aoi.ally until the middle of Sep<*mb6r
and th-?n put in the oats. i
instead of planting the late ball i <

Department, j
Btraw is tine. They may be plant
ed September 20th to December
15th. On ordinary land that;
would make twenty bushels of,
corn or 700 pounds of see 1 cotton
to the acre, use one sack of 10? .
1 acid potash to the acre. If the
land is thin, add fifty pounds of
cottonseed meal to the sack of
potash. In March when the oats
are appearing above the ridges
run a smoothing harrow over
them, after scattering fifty to
seventy-live pounds of nitrate of
soda. The harrow cultivates the
oats and levels the land, making
the reaping very easy. We use
the (Jantt oat drill made at Macon,
Cla. 1 believe it has been
advertised in The Progressive
Farmer. If a farmer wishes to'
make forty to sixty bushels to
the acre, let him break his land
eight to twelve inches deep and
apply 400 pounds of this mixture
to the acre :
000 pounds 14 per cent acid ;
4(H) pounds kannt ;
300 pounds cottonseed meal.
That will analyze 7?4?2. If
the oats are not green and luxurant
in March, add fifty pounds of
nitrate. Always remember, however,
that too much ammonia
makes straw and not grain, aud
it is the latter that is wanted.

Begin now to prepare a piece

with rutabaga turnips in many
years?by following this rulo,
viz., begin now by turning under
all the stubble and growth, then
harrow smooth and then roll, or
press, the soil down well with a
smoothing board. If you are to
use stable manure this should
have been applied broadcast before
turning the land. If you are
to use commercial fertilizers we
have found the following application
about right on lands growing
about from 1,200 to 1,500
pounds seed cotton per acre:
in I acid phosphate, 0<>0 pounds ;
cotton meal, '200 pounds; kainit,
100 pounds.

run over the land at least
once in every ten days from time
of breaking the land until last of

Carelessness in Handling and
Keeping Cotton.
Seven bales of cotton received
at the cotton platform a few days
su'o were damaged to such an extent
that about sixty pound" of
the lint had to be picked from
each of them. 1 he picking" were
worth about half price, making
the loss, with cotton at eleven
"ent a pound, of $3.30 a bale.
L'otton Weigher J. S. Withers and
inspector, Hubert Simpson say
that much of the cotton received
*t the platform during therest of
this season will be in a damaged
condition on account of the careI
lessness of the farmers in leaving
it in the rain. A reporter learned
that the farmers even in Mecklenburg
County lose probably
several thousand dollars every
year in damaged cotton, when, if
they wouid put it under shelter,
the cotton would remain in firstclass
condition.
One of the most experienced
cotton merchants in the city told
an Observer reporter that the
farmers throughout North and
South Carolina are out of pocket
thousands and thousands of dollars
every season because of their
cotton in the open. The cold
rains of the winter do not injure
it, but tiie. first warm rams of
of the spring and summer rot it
as it does all other vegetable
matter. The building of warehouses
in the cotton centers are
reducing the am >unt ot damaged
cotton every year, however, and
the farmers, too, are learning to
| take the same care of their cotton
as of other crops.?Charlotte

How Worry Makes Disease,
Suppose that 11 man has an uneasy
sensation in the locality ol
his heart which is due, let us say,
to overeating or to gas in the
stomach, says Dr. Luther Gu'ick
in the World's Work. Hut he begins
to think that he has heart
disease. Uo reads the advertise
ment in the newspaper to learn
about the symptoms, and hf
learns about them.
"A sense of constriction about

culty ! "Slight pain on deep
breathing, palpitation of the
heart after vigorous exercise"?
it is evidently a serious case 1 lie
begins to worry about it. Worry
interferes with his sleep. It inter
feres also with his digestion ; he
does not cet well nourished.
Had sleep and bad digestion
makes him worse and worse
Kach one aggravates the other
And all the time he keeps thinking
about his heart. In the enc
his thinking actually affects his
condition, until he succeeds 11
fastening on himself afunctional
difficulty which may be a really
serious and permanent trouble ?
I and the whole of it can be traced
! back to his crooked thinking
about that little pain in his chest
This is no parable. It is the
j record of hundreds of actual
J cases. Kverv physician comes in
I to contact with them.
A man who keeps worryitip
about the sta'e of his liver will
! almost be sure to have trouble
with it eventually. Indigestion
can he brought on in the panu
way, and a long list of other ail
meats.
An Editor Goes to Church.
An lvlitor pays : "We at ended
| church some time ago, and its
fened to a very good sermon, as
sermons go. We enj >yed the
(singing, and stood up with the
brethren and sisters whfTe they
i sang the good old hymn, 'Shall
We Know Kach Other There?1
While the livmn was being sung
we glanced about us and count
el about a dozen members ol
the congregration of the churcli
w ho do not -peak to each other
when they meet on the street,
or elsewhere. The thought occurred
to us, why should they
'know each other there* when
they -ebminglv don't know each
other here*"
