Sowing Wheat and Oats.
Prof. W. R Massoy in Projjressivo Farmer.
Oh, the lelteis we get askiog
formulas to make fertilizers lor
grain! Below we try to give in
condensed form answers to all ol
them- Your question may not
be printed, but I he answer to it
may be found here nevertheless.
Kead carefully what is said
about rotation of crops and preparation
of your laud.
A lady farmer who is a new
reader of The Progressive Farmer
wishes to know the best
method tor sowing wheat and
oats on lan'd with r> d soil on a
very still red clay sub-soil. The
best method is to plow the soil
well and then harrow, and harrow
till perfectly tine and well
settled and sow the wheal after
the first white frost, with a drill,
using five pecks of seed per
acre. Oats should have the soil
as well prepared and should be
sown as early in September as
practicable.
Disk the land thoroughly by
going over it both ways repeat-Jl..

Then drill the oats in deeply at
rate of two bushels per acre
early in {September. The Virginia
Gray winter oats are as
good as moat varieties. The Ap
pier is highly esteemed by many,
but I have never tried them.
You may perhaps get these from
the State Te3t Farm at Statesville.
If the corn was on a manured
sod the fertilization would
be more simple, for in that case
I would use only acid phosphate
and potash, say 300 pounds of
16 per cent acid phosphate and
twenty-five pounds of muriate of
potash per acre. If the corn
was not on a manured sod, then
1 would make a mixture of 1,200
pounds of acid phosphate, 600
pounds of cottouseed meal and
200 pounds of muriate of potash,
and use 300 pounds per
acre. For the wheat, make the
surface as fine as possible, going
oyer and over with the disk harrow,
remembering that the finer
you make the soil the better the
cuance for wheat \Vork in in the
disking 400 pounds of acid phosphate
and twenty five pounds ot
muriate of potash per acre, and
do not drill the wheat till there
has been a white frost, so as to
avoid the fall fly.
If cowpeas grew on your land,
cut the peas and cure for hay.
Then disk the stubble and apply
11 * til* / *
me luruuzer nrst-namea above
for the manured sod.
Sow any good winter oats.
The Virginia Grey Winter oats
are as good as any. The Texas
Rust Proof oats are excellent, but
it tiie seed cmio from Texas you
will run the risk of getting Johnson
gra'-s seed with them. Cut
the crop when the clover is in
bloom without regard to the oats.
On the black sandy soil where
clover wa? tnrned for corn, I
would cut the corn and shock
it for curing and then would ,
dish the ground well, making
the surface as fine as possible, 1
(lodging around tlie corn shocks ,
so as to cover all the around ex- <
cept the spots on which the 1
shocks stand. In this disking I
would work in four hundred i
pounds of 10 per cent acid phosphate
and twenty-five pounds of
muriate of potash per acre, and
would drill the wheat alter the
first white frost. Then you
would probably escape the fall
"yDo
not turn under any green
growth in hot weather. Later
turn under th?* dead weeds and
sow rye on the land to be turned
under in the spring, or better
ufill sow crimson clover with
the rye, and if if succeeds you
will have a Hetter crop to plow
under in the cool season.
THE LANCA!
Turn the peas lor the oats and
sow as soon in September as
possible so as to give them time
to tiller before cold weather.
Sow two to two and a half bushels
per acre, using the same fertilizer
advised for wheat. In
preparing pea stubble for corn or
cotton, 1 would disk the land
and sow crimson clover seed for
a winter cover and a crop to turn
I
miner.
On the stubble field, if vou do
not plow the land till late in
tall, or early ill winter. 1 would
let I be rag wee 1 stand, and then
turn it under. But it would be
better to cut the rag weeds now
and rake and haul them oil" and
then disk the land lightly and
sow crimson clover seed at
rate of fifteen pounds per acre,
and 'urn this under in spring in
bloom lor the corn. You can
do this safely tor a hoed crop in
the cool weather of spring, and
getting the clover on the land
would be a great help to the corn.
In that case I would spread all
the manure at hand on the clover
during the winter, and would
nan tir? lArlili^pr al h!1
A correspondent wants to
know it it would be a good idea
to spread straw in the orchard to
keep down weeds. Where the
laud cannot be plowed, there is
nothing better for the trees than
a good mulch extending out a
little further than the roots extend.
Put very little, if any,
around the stem to harbor field
mice to gnaw the bark in winter.
Millions of bottles of Foley's?Honey
and Tar have been sold without any
person ever having experienced any
other than beueticial results from its
use for coughs, colds and lung trouble.
This is because the genuine
Foley's Honey and Tar in the yellow
package contains no opiates or other
harmful drufirs. Guard vonr health
by refusing any but the genuine.

No Wonder She Blushed.
An elderly Bishop, a bachelor,
who was very fastidious about
his toilet, was especially fond of
his bath, and requested particu
lar care of his tub from the maid.
When about to leave town one
day he gave strict orders to the
housemaid about his "bawthtub"
and said that no one was
to be allowed the use of it.
Ala-! the temperature grew on
the girl and she took a plunge.
The bishop returned unexpect
ediv, and finding (races ol the
recent s'olen bath, questioned
the maid so closely (hat she had
(o confess she was (he culprit,
and was very sorry.
"1 hope you do not think it is
a sin. Bishop?" asked Mary in
tears.
Eying her sternly, he said:
"Mary, your using my tub is not
a sin, but what distresses me
most is that you would do any
thing behind mv back that you
would not do before my face."
