Agricultural Sowing Oats in the Cotton Fields. Southern Cultivator.

Will the tramping of the cotton picker i jure the oats? 3. Can I afford to feMilize the oats at time ot planting in September ? 4. Will 1 get a stand of oats in any part o! the r \v xcepi the furrow ? As [ wish to tiy this plan this 'all, please g.yo me full in-true tions. 1 fear the ground would not be in good condition, not not having been broken deep enough. Thanking you lor your valuable information and the address of some party having tried this plan, 1 bog to remain. J. 1\ K. Columbus, Ga. Comment by the Editor: 1. Yes, v\ here so many of our farmers have a greater portion of their Ian J in co'ton. we think it wise to sow oats in the cotton in August or September. We have seen fine oats made in this way. Have seen many sow in drills and others broadcast. You can ea.-ilv drill two rows of oat* in ordinary cot! ?n. The lands that are continuously cropped in cotton wili bo greatly benefitel by thus haying a cover crop during the winter and by the stubble returned to the soil in the spring. 2. Of course theoa's will bo crushed by the cotton flickers, but they will recover from the trampling during the winter months. 3. We would wait and apply the fertilizer as a top dressing early in the spring, by this time 3*011 can tell it condition ot i oats will justify such expend ture. i This depends altogether up on Ihe meth )d you use in put tin Z them in. You can drill them iigli/ly without ii juiinfs the cot ton r;'tileas your cotton is rank. ) On riCi 1 lniuls where ctiiou is rank, \v?. 1 would sow the oats broadcast.

I t it is but natural f<>r them to, want to yet through with their |J iuaii> wi fv- u ?i> loo much hurry to lay them by. J It always |)avs lo work crops * reasonably late, but it is more ' important tbis year than usual on account ot the late cold spring which made the crops slow in a V starting ami behind in iheir growth even as late as this. twH: know some ot the best farmers who try to give iheir cotton one ^ plowiug in Angus' every year. L A few limbs here and there may fc ? -reI broken, but i' pays to plow it lue. You want your cotton to c grow la'e and m my a time 11 1 stops growing because the plow w -tops running. O; cour-e 'he 11 a-t two or t hree plowings should he very shallow. Our rule is io give all cotton a plowing as la'e as the last week in July, and late planted cot'on should be plowed one time in August. Have you laid by your cotton? It so, it might be the hest thing you could do to give " it one more plowing?Smilhlield 0 if ? i ri IlUIiUU. I) Keeping Sheep on The Farm. 11 a 1'rices fur boch mutton and " lam'o are high and while the sheep is making meat that is s iurh' after, there is growing on (lie suface oi the body a crop ol wool that will nearly,if i ot quite. . 11 pay tor the leed consumed, says N. A. OJapi>, iu Ohio Farmer. ( No one cla-s of stook kept is cared for with so little trouble and labor s the sheep. In the ... . . , 'I winter, furnishing the shelter, feed and water is all that is ar-cessary. There is no currying or . n h cleaning of stahles to he attend ed to every day as with the ' horses and cittle. As to kinds of feed consumed, they eit a great ^ variety, an 1 that, too, with ? relish. All the clovers, bean c pods, pea vines and cornstalks can be fed to advantage in win- " ter time. In the summer some ( sheep can be kept to advantage ' on most farms. The range of grasses, weeds atul shrubbery that ihey eat is almost unlimit.,i. If It hurtled or fenced in the odd * corners where weeds ami bushes 11 grow, they will keep them nip- * ped down and bo making meal ami wool at the same time. Ou " very m my farms in what we 1 call northern Michigan sheep can he used to good advantage v at the present time. There the ? briar Lushes and weeds that are going to get a atari and become ' a nuisance if there is not some 11 thing done at once.' The sheen I will keep the fields trimmed 11 much cheaper than it can be H done with a sc.vthe and bush 8< hook. In handling the cheep the'0' important necessity of good ' '1 water should not ho ovor'ooked. b -Shepherd's Criterion, Chic - ni : e: # WARNING p< o kidney and bladder trouble |(j f yr.n hrj% e toley's Kidney < ure. yon do not ?* ? ourself to blaiuo for results, ! ra have only > ires all forma of kidney! t |w>Kitively <v sen. tl bladder diya^ SCASTKR NEWS, AUGUST 3 _ i i Value of Shredded Corn.
