2 Agricultural \ Department How to Save Hay and Sweet Potatoes. Southern Cultivator. Perseverance and simplicity . ? _ . . i i 1 JS i are my mouoes ana snouiu oe the practice of all of ug. Now is hay lime with me. I have already cut and housed one cutting where 1 had oats. I am picking seed peas in my corn, gathering corn, cutting hav and stacking it. 1 sowed oa's about two bushels to the acre, the last week in December, and the first week in January. I cut an 1 baled the oats from one acre in one patch which weighed 2,175 pounds. 1 cut another acre in another patch, which weighed 1,575 pounds, thus giving me about an average ol 1,875 p >unds per acre. I used no fertilizer except about S5 pounds nitrate of sod ? per acre. I applied it broadcast in March when the oats began to spread just before they began to run up. 1 cut oats last week in May, when about half ripe. Broke l. nl about tenth of June with single horse turn plows, droDiiini' neas in evprv nt.lipr furrow one-halt bushel to acre; cut peas about last week in August, getting about one thous anu pounds to the acre; intend to cut again in October, which will give something like a ton of hay to the acre from the two cuttings with no fertilizers except the tiiira'o of Foda applied to ttie oats in Ma ch 1 usually plant my corn in water furrow alter the land has been thoroughly broken and put from one to two hundred pounds of guano (10-3-3) to acre in drill on top head of the second plowing. 1 try to lay by between the middle and last ol June, planting peas in diill between tho stalks of corn and a row in middle of the corn rows. 1 pick peas, gather corn and cut ai! the hay 1 can in September aul Oc'ober. Some people seem to think weevils will ruin their corn il gathered soon, but this is a mistaken idea. It is amusing to me to read so many different lde^s about weevils in c >rn. 1: bre::k my corn and put in heaps about every eight or ten rows j civl cut hay around the heaps, | leaving (lie corn in field till 11 rains, then 1 haul and put in ban. I don't care how wet and Mr. Weevil is conquered Don't he afaid of your corn rot iug, nor you need not fear the wee- j vil. Now c lines my cherished pi in ; r f s ac'i-ine: hay.

The hay is thus nicely cured in the shade ai d provented from heati )g or ruining from rain It is all right this way if cut and THE LANCAI ^tacked the same day, but 1 per- 1 fer to cut oue day, rake and I slack the uext.
