Winter I'orajre?tirazinjj Oats. The cultivation of summer crops now ab-! sorbs attention. The plants valued by man canuot stand natural competition; they w< ulJ I i>e destroyed by worthless competitors but i'<>r I liis timely interference and aid. Mr. I.awes left a crop of wheat unharvested to see if t lie plant could resecd and perpetuate itself without assistance. It failed utterly; in one year wheat would become extinct but for the intervention of man. Under like treatment the turnip lost its bulb and formed only a long,1 contracted taproot, as it itoes in its wild state, j On the other hand, wheat on carefully prepared land, kept perfectly clean so as to remove j all competition, made an average yield of KS j bushels per acre for thirty years without manure; lilguly manured under the same eondi-, tions, otherwise, t he a vcrago yield per acre for f thirty years was 36 bushels per acre. With I cultivation and without manure, 13 bushels! per acre; with cultivation and man lire,is bushels peracrc: without cultivation or manure, nothing. There is a lesson for us. Kvery one with the slightest farming experience appreciates the importance of lighting > crab grass. hut the tight is often made too late. I ? >/! nfri.r irieiwmible miseiitef lias been tlor.e. | Plants never fully recover Ihcir vigor alter: this grass lias once matted itself about tliem. j By all means kill it before it lias had time to j rob the crop of its plant-food; when the seed have well sprouted or have just come up is the time to destroy it. The only safe rule, thcre10rt>, is to run the plows or cultivators at short Intervals?say once a week. Later In the season such frequent workings will not be demanded; but during the month of June, never stop the plows; as soon as the crop is gone over, go right over again. Especially is this demanded by cotton, (iivc it every advantage now. Lot it make weed and be ready to take on fruit, (trowing and Iruitingaresomewhat autagonistic. Kucourage the growing now by frequent workings, and let it give! place to fruiting later in the season. Constant stirring of the soil is the best growlh-promotcr. But, says one, growth is naturaliy excess- j ivoon my lands; my cotton makes too much weed and does not mature Its fruit. Perhaps on such soils it might be well to work the crop at longer intervals?only so often as may bo needed to keep down grass. It seems to be pretty well established that common bait tends to check an overgrowth of straw in small grains; it may possibly have a similar eit'eet I on the production of excessive weed in cotton.i The matter is worthy of experimental trial. Mr. Dickson, whoso intentions wore very remarkable, and whose insight into manuring wa? very extraordinary, always put salt in JLlUt CUlui'Uiaiu. liut rapid tillage not only promotes immediate growth, it contributes also to fruitin^hv ) increasing the supply of plaut-l'ood in tiie soil.) "We have repeatedly called attention to the nece&sity of air in the soil for nitrification to goon. Nitrification increases the supply of available nitrogen in the soil; plowing opens the soil, admits the air, and thus promotes nitrification. Not only so, the admission of ail generates carbonic acid in the soil, and cur-1 bonlc acid is the great natural solvent of mill-: cral plant-food also. ' The saying, therefore, that ''tillage is' manure" has considerable i foundation to rest 011. It certainly unlocks! the storehouses of nature. Well-worked crops: seldom fail to yield fairly, however adverse toe seasons may bo. Let it lie home in mind j a'so, that light, surfice cultivation is thegreat j c inservator of moisture in the soil, and one of trie best antidotes 10 drought. A deeply hrok-1 0.1, liumusabounding soil, with a tliin layer of pulverized earth upon Its surface, is almost | ? proof against drought. * What are the best iniplttnents for this light j summer cultivation ? The Dickson sweep t!f-| teen or twenty years ago was esteemed tliei IDl-sI. It certainly was a great improvement over tiie shovel, both as regards quantity and ; tiualitv of work. Mr. Dickson insisted that j they should bo heavy, to keep them steady (;> their work. The long extended cutting edge caused them to strike inure obstructions and j rendered it diflleult to hold them steadily to their place. This is a (treat defect of the aweep. On the other hand this long cutting j edge makes it almost impossible for a may-j iK?p or brier to escape. This is decidedly in I its favor. Of late years the hoclscrape has j largely supplanted the sweep on account ofi its greater simplicity and less cost. It docs j about the same kind of work?some think j better work. Both sweep and scrape will wake beds, unless their wings are carefully set. this is a decided objection to them in hilly land, liable to wash. A cultivator, with | Wheel to regulate the depth of lite plow, is In; some respects preferable to either sweep ori scrape. It is not so easily thrown out of position by obstructions, and does not work the I laud up into beds, l'robubly a combination I of the two, following each other at alternate I workings, would be better than either alone.] A cultivator will run too deep for light sum-; mer work, unless the depth of its cutting is V , regulated by a wheel. We are inclined to I thluk,that in some form or other, wheel plows will become of universal use, not only I lor gauging the depth of furrow, but for the *ake of decreasing friction, and relieving the pressure on the bottom of the furrow, arising j/ . from the weight of the plow itself, increased by that of the earth which it lifts. This grinding and pressing down by the ordinary ulow generates the hard pan found iu long cultivat* cd land. v The pea crop should Hfc planted now as soon ; as possible. Put in drills three feet apart; aj bushel of seed will plant four acres; and as i seed'is a consideration, this mode is oftcur. y times preferable to broadcast sowing. More! peas can be raised by the former method of o... I 1.? l-i ml 1 7)KlaIlLlIl?^y UUC IIIV JillbVt IO UVIUI IV< OIV "If 6ne's object is to raise seed, drill by all means, and give necessary plowing* and hoein^s, which will not be a great deal. The practice Of planting pens in corn is good it Involves no expense except seed and the dropping or sowing ol'thetn. lint we think the * pea is entitled to a place on the farm as a regular erop to be planted by itself and properly t , cultivated. Its value, a> a renovating <>r recuperating crop. Is unsurpassed, and it holds no mean place as a food erop,either as grain or forage. It cau be fiuide to take the place ol ?;orn to a considerable degree, as we have often seen, ahd can be raised ?t less expense. The gathericg of the crop Is the greatest obstacle to be overcome, but until a better method is invented we can mow when the pods arc about grown and cure as forage. A correspondent mentioned recently a pea gathering ina" chiDe? that is the thing needed. I.et inventive genius go to work in this direction. The problem Is very much simpler than that of a cotton picking machine, and inventors have not yet'abandoned the latter. Timo lc (1 wnnrt month also ill which to lllatlt J1 forage crops generally. Last year we planted! Amberciyicon thc<h of June, and it wasj fully matured before frost. Maturing iatc ill urn be kept green and succulent for six weeks1 j(?r two inonliis extending the season lor fecdiug greeu stutl" well into tlie winter. Forauc i Viorn planted at intervals ot two or three "weeks, up to the last of next month, will keep Mock amply supplied Willi good wholesome Jced all through autumn, without the necessity of trenchingon the winter's supply of fodder. It is the neglect of such side crops that causes so much Northern and Western hay to be sold in the South, A vety few acres on I cacli farm could supply all of the forage need-1 ciL Recently wc presented the lute-t testimo-: jjy and conclusions about ensilage. It is suf-' llciently encouraging to warrant every farmer C trying it, on a small scale, at least. The expense of digging a small pit, putting in the forage, weighing it down and putting a simple . roof over it, will be very small. All can be done by the laborers on the farm alter the v' ' crops arc laid by. riant the necessary crops j to till one now and build silo later?1 don't' think you will regret the venture. Last year, whilst laying by some bottom corn, we broadcasted Soja bean over a portion ! of It, and were rather surprised to see it malure its seed fully before frost. As it stands, oreet (Is not a vine) wo find'no difficulty in I . mowing It, and gathered the crop in that way.! Jt Is doubtless a renovating crop like I lie pea,; .and might be substituted for it <m bottom i Jands, where the running vines <?f the pea iu-' terfere with the pulling of fodder. The bean is very h'ird and the weevil does not seem partial to it. We kept the seed two years before planting. Ground into meal, there is no] more nutritious grain to be found. The yield is fine, and the bushy habit of growth unit nutritious quality of thcgraiucumniciid ii. l'it-j Jess cut when young and green it would make i j>oor forage as ihe stems become very hard! and woody with age. As the oat crop was very much killed by the cold last winter, it is very desirable that all that survived should be carefully saved with a view to propagating a bardicr strain of winter oats. Darwin relates that, spring wheat ?own in autumn was nearly all killed, but by . ' planting the seed ol' that which survived, in a Jew ycurs a hardy strain of winter wheal was I developed from the spriug wheat. Why could not the same thins be done with oats?" What ? is termed in Georgia "winter grazing oat," originally, we believe, from Virginia, certainly . stands cold better than tho rust-proof. We I iv jiave tested that point from sowings of each tide by side on the same day last fall. A de- j cided sprinkling of the grazing oat survives.; iind scarcely a plant of the rusi-proof is to lie seen. The grazing oat is therefore the more, promising as regards cold, but it is not rust-) proof. What we need is a variety both rust und cold-proof. The present is a most excel- j Jent opportunity to begin work to t hat end. > Let every one gather t he scattered heads and , fiow the grain therefrom next autumn. The] pliability of the oat plant, so to speak, lias, been shown by the 15urt and other early vari- , ctlo* recently developed; we are encouraged) therefrom to fcope that it may be changed also In Its power to resist cold. >Ve trust also that an abundance of seed r.vc , & wilt be saved nt the South this year. The urea town in this most valuable grain has been ! very materially curtailed by the scarcity of' valuable seed. "Western anil Northern seed will not do well with us; we repeat, therefore. 1 ;t every one save nil the rye he can. As we have argued heretofore,nil the clean land < n our farms ought to be seeded down in the fall, to prevent lc-tching and washing through win er suid spring, and there is nothing as good for the purpose us rye. Xor is there a more <'<*rt;iiii crop to"Kupply green forage in t lie early spring. It never Vails if sown early ? on good land, llye, crimson clover, and burr' v elover are three very hardy and very early U sprii g crops, and < tight to find a place on eve-y farm. They will grow anywhere, even on the l orders of {lie Gulf. I'lit out potato slips for the main crop bntwtu tho 10th and. 23th of fie month. If vines can be had, they are equally as good, perhaps better, than slips or drawers. _ 1 Xillinery for liie Monlli of June.

Sinclair and Jumes Anderson and purchased by mo in tho year 1S56, and from that time till now carried on "successfully bv myself. My friends and customers will bear witness of the large and 6tupendous.)ob? executed by me. It was at my works where the largest and almost only job of its class ever executed in this city was done viz: the making of the pipes for the City Water Works in tho year 1S58. In the branch of BELL FOUNDING, I can say that I have made the largest bells ever cast in the State, such as the bell for the Citv Hull in Columbia. My stock of patterns for ARCHITECTtTRA 1? WOKK COLUMNS for Store fronts, is large and various, and in RAILINGS for Balcbnics, Gardens, and Cemeteries I have the largest variety-and most modern patterns; many of thoGe are patented and I have pmbhased the right for this state. In tho machine line I can furnish my patrons with STEAM ENGINES and BOILERS of any size and description. My CIRCULAR SAW MILLS have carried off the prize at every State Fair held in this city, und in their construction I have taken pains to combine simplicity with the most useful modern, improvement, and may flatter myself that uiy CIRCULAR SAW MILLS find favor with every sawyer who understands his business. The many orders I am steadily receiving for SUGAR CANE MILLS prove that the public appreciate the mills of my make, and so it is with my GEARING for 1I0RSE POWERS. GIN WHEELS, GRlaT MILLS and other MACHINERY. I have the manufacturing risht of roany PATENTS snch as castings for ROCK COTTON AND HAY PRESS 11 nd three or four different FEED CUTTES' and other implements. I will be pleaded to send my clronlnrs to any applicant, together with price list or estimate. M.v prices are moderate, and I assure the public that they are lower than those of Northern manufactures, and that my work will com para favorably with tliu*. ol any other maker.
