"A Good crop of oats next Spring will be of inestimable value to our farmer*, for it will enable them to feed their stock without buying corn al the ruinous prices likely to prevail in eonsequence of the great drouth this year. | Enough oats should be sown to ensure a sufficiency, at least, for the Summer and Fall feeding of stock.

Does tlie Dronght I)o nny Good? j The effect of a season of Ion# continued 1 , drought is to improve Hie fertility of the j soil. During surli a reason the water in ! , the soil is continually rising to the sur-j lace by capillary attraction and is there i ! evaporated. It is precisely the reverse of J the leaching process. Too much rain' passing through an open soil, has the j effect of leaching out the inorganic ele-] ! ments and carrying them down beyond j the reach of the roots of plants. This of j course has the effect of impoverishing i the soil by depriving it of those elements necessary to the growth and maturity of. plants. On the other hand, when a drought sets in the moisture from below, j which holds in solution small portions of potash, soda, magnesia and phosphoric acid commences to rise, and, as it evapo- , rates from the surface it leaves behind it in the soil near the surface those inorgan- I ie elements, just as the salt water when' evaporated will leave the salt behind. In both eases only the pure water escapes. I All matters held in solution remain, j The effect of drought therefore is to i bring up from the subsoil the elements mentioned and to deposit them near the surface for the use of plants. It follows from this that soils are improved by | drought, provided the amount of water necessary to the growth of a crop is forthcomin". All of this goes to prove that the soils of thedritlight-stricken sections are now in a good condition to receive | fall sowings of rye, oats and wheat with the promise of a remunerative return. i Sow rve on sandy lands, and oats or Wheat <>n stiller lands. The rye will I afford excellent pastures for cattle or j sheep. The oats will save you much i expenditure lor corn, and the wheat will be convenient next uuimuer and fall when perhaps, Hour mav be eight or ten dollars per barrel.?Fuyettcvillc (N. C.) j Examiner. I Jfej?ro "Spirituals." By LiiUe K. Harr, in Christian Union Although it 1b becoming .unlashlonable among the negroes toeing "spiritual," because so many now can "sing out ol? de b?K)k," as tliey term the use of the Hymnal, still, In all great, event* of their lives, Joyful or sorrowful, they fly to the old "spirituals," which were ilie streiiath and comturt of their race during their days of bondage, in Carolina ami Alabama the "spiritual" still holds its ground; but in Georgia and Virginia it is fa.?t disappearing. True, every negrt? knows them, and uses thetn tn tlM sacred hours of those Joys uiul -or ows beyond the int'-rmeddsln-i even of de?r f. u lids; for when trouble or death enter.

In theptayer meetings and experience meetings the "Spirituals" ami "shouts" are ulwvys s'lii ;. and that with nu earnestness an pathos they never exhibit when using "de printed words."

It is u worm of a green color, with bands of yellow, and when full grown is some two inches in length. These worms move from field to field in compact bodies, like an army, and sweep tilings as they go. Millions of them, in all stages of development, squirmed and twisted in great masses, actually lying in piles by the fences. Over" the dead and disabled marched the vigorous. The worms are eating the tops of the cotton which are of new growth, and of a vivid green. They do not injure the cotton itself, but it is feared that they mny in an excess of hunger begin eating the green portion of the cotton bolls, as they sometimes do.
