Jones in Swmthcrn Uultivator.] .Oats may be sown up to the middle of October in the northern portion of the cotton belt, and still later towards the Gulf; but the risk is rather great if sown later than the time designated, in tho cold, hilly regions. Inl tie lati tade of Atlatnta if we caiiot get in oats by the middle of October, we prefer to wait and sow in January. We have called attention on former occasions to the inportance of sowing seed in the fall fromi a fall raised crop, and in the sp ring from a spring raisel crop. Fall crops acquire gradually the power of enduring cold, and spring crops the habit of early maturity. In the North the difference between winter and spring wheat is very marked, the former being nuch less injured by cold. The same ditler-ence can be es tablislhed between fall and spring oats. For fall sowing the rust pruof is to be preferred; for spring sowing the Burt is perhalts best. It. seems to have prov ed rust proof, and sown in Januarv or early February, is ready for the cradle about as soon as fall oats. The ad vantage of this is that the crop is made before the moisture in the soil is ex hausted. It matu res so rapidly that it cannot be sown in the fall; it is essen tially a sprintg oat. tarley and ne may also be sown during tis month, but tnless upon very rich soils will not furnish ninch grazing or mowing. It is tlought however that the late sown will pro duce more seed. Wheat sowing will begin this month. We have always advocated sowing enough for ftinnil%. use, but as a market crup it pays only uinder exceptional conditions. In limestone regions, where stroni , stiff soils abound, and in localities where the extensive system of ftruiinig still prevails, the wheat crop n:ar par pretty well. The first class of soils is especially adapted to grain. andi tle corn fields need rest and restoratiou of humus through small grain crops. Ihe extensive syskmn, in like manner, calls loudly for a rotation in which small grain enters, because cotton is a leading crop in that systen and ex poses the land so much to washing and leaching. With no expense for manure the farmer sows one bushel of seed per acre and harvests five or six. Two Iusliels irobably pays expense of plow ing in and harvesting, and lie mnakes t wo or three bushels per acre as irolit. But lie considers that the improvement of his land and the pasture after har vest. would compensate him, even though his wheat crop did not pay ex peises. But under the intensive sys tem of ffarring, where crops are raised by large expenditures for manure, tIe conditions are entirely changed. Wheat will not make large yields with out ani abundant supply of initrogenous inantire--a substance in which old soils are particularly delteient, and which is the costliest of all when it has to be purchased. Inl addition the crop is ain uncertain one in our climate on account of its liability to rust. But three or, four' acres higly imnureth, will ordinartily suipply a famrily, arid one cair atlord to take risks oir thart small cr'op, to foster thle f'eeling of' ini tt'.'.9.ndece anid to supply13 Iris pantry', with biew, sweet, l)ure lou r early iin Ihre seasoii .

Tho cotton lea noj. yet rendered cr'is p and br'ittle by frost do not adher'e and mix with threi lint as they do late* in the season. I Everything now urges tho fhl"mei- to puisha on the gathering ofhis crops. I Once housed ho feels they tre safe, unless h1s barns are full of rats. This I Imay be easily and effectually pretlt ud by building them apart from other I houses and supporting them on posts I two to three feet square. We speak i fi'om ample experience on this point. I Light open houses might be construct ed n same the manner for the storing of sheaf cate. The roof would be the only exl,ensive part. Little more than the framing would be needed, and the floor might be made of poles. Expeii sive barns are not needed in the South. We need not imitate the Northern farm- i or in that particular; our surroundings are different from his. Many euthu siastic farmers-city bred antl retired Iofession:l mnenl-are Carried away with the pictures of fine barns in Northern "journals, or in Southern wvhich copy- fromn them, andi spenid large amounts on similar buildings for which they have little use. Simple, open shelters suflice for most purposes in our mild climate. But it is desira ble to have such for all the stock on the farm during cold, rainy spells. Sim ple frames of poles, which can be had on every farm, and a plank roof will answer every purpose. During sum ner the planks can be taken down, stacked and protected from the weath er. Thus managed they will last for tmany years. Speaking of stock suggests that they should not be kept on the grass and clover too late in the fall--if grazed too closely ther( do not stand cold so well aind will not spring forward so early in the spring. One of the best pasture's for late grazing is a Bermuda sod, which has not been pastnretl the latter 1 half of suminer. inder these circut- I stances the grass grows tail, and while1 the frost sinlges the top, it renains I green below well into the winter. We < have known a cow to be well wintered < on such a pasture without any addi- < t ional foiage. The Lespedega also, I especially if sheltered a little by pines s in oul ficds, furnishes quite late graz- t ing inl the lI. Whenever the pas tures begin to fail, stock should receive c extra feed, that. they may enter upon I the winlter ill gool condition. All t wild lniitals fitten in the fall and the a lesson is one which it is well to heed. Nature is wiser thaii mat. The win tering of stock is both easier and less expensive since the (erman investiga tiotns ont food l rations have shown that mich substances as wheat straw fliiely -ut up and mixed with oil cake make most excellent feed. Cotton seed meal cnn now be had everywhere in the South and a very little of it mixed with wheat, oats or rye straw willikeep a cow ill inte conditioni--say two pounds of the meal with twenty-five pounds of straw for a daly's rat ion. The exceed ing richness of the meal cotmpensates for the poverty of the straw and at the sane renders it inore digestible. We do not think we hazard Imich ill saying that ill a t'ew years cotton seed meal will be the staple grain feed of all the stock olr the farm. They may not relish it. at fIrst, but alinitals can be ediented to eat almost any}"thing which is utr"itious. It is ia coumlion belief that it is better to wait until trost has nipped the vines hefore digginiig awect potatoes. Our experie'ece and observation (o not agree witIi this belief.

Those who coutenlplate planting out )rclards and vineyards, should liegin reparation for the same. November s probably the best month, in our cll nate, for setting out trees and plants. While these do not make any growth tbove ground, during the winter, they to often make ' considerable root rowth-or else prepare the e9llus, wvhich ig the first step in that direction, tnd enables roots to form very rapidhy im the spring. Check oft the land with lwo-horse plows, and if it is run deep little work with spade and shovel will be needed to prepare the hole for the reception of the tree. Land for orchard or vineyaird should be plowed at least eight inches deep before a tree or plant is set out. Trenehes two or three feet deep in which to set a trtee, are wholly unnecessary. Good eulti vatiolt for two or three rears after the trees are set out, with less frequent I and shallower llowings when the trees get older, is the secret of healthy, thrifty orchards. Of course judicious manuring is not to be neglected. Avoid stable and highly nitrogenous mattures. Liie, :hies and a little salt, together with woods earth or well-airedf mntiek are the best applica lons to an orchard. These should be ised in suficient quantities to be )roadcasted. Remember that the eedmnLg roots of trees are not right tround their trunks, but are distribut d in every direction for many feet, mecupyimg the whole land in the case f old trees. Orchards are best nantturel in early winter, The sub taices inentioned as best manures for hem will not leach out, but will re utire some time to sink down deep nough to be appropriated by the roots. t nmay be mentioned in this conntec ion ttat the liming of land should. livays be done in autumn or early rinter, to exert any effect upon the nsling summer crop.

There Is more well-directed systematic effort apparent on both si es than ever be fore. The lepuiblicans have the call on the noise, but they are also doing a vast amount of hard earnest work. Their whole canvass is mapped out on a bt oader scale than ever and is being conducted with spirit and courage. After nearly it week spent isn the long range politics of West V'irfrinia the transfer to this bit business-like effort is refreshing. The Republican State committee has this year taken a whole house ini a quiet part of the city and has at work three tines the usual cler ical foree. Their speaking canpaign is on a still broader plane and every Crossroad has its uniformed club. It is a tegular school house, al most indl vidual campaign. Stunp Speakers Everywhere. In rachiig this point my route lay some two hundred miles through the western and southern portion of the State. Everywhere almost everything else seemed to be neglected for politics. At atl11st everv t ati'st St sump speikers. were gettiog on and oil' the train, and from all cause this same story : "Never saw the people so aroused in my life." ''his statement is fully verified hore at tho headquarters, with tho addition: "We are making it hot. Our glue pot is full and we will carry the State this October electioni by a good majority." It looks very much as t hough this were true. Ex-Governot" Foster and Colonel D)udley are really in charge-of tho prac tical part of the light, on the Republi can side, and )oin 'aineron is expect ed to-morrow with more glue. So carefully is this side of the contest being managed that for the first thne the couninittee has the natine of every voter in the State amid a guess as to how he will vote. Althou:-lh the poll has been carefully llade a second can vass of all the voters is to be made between now and election day.

Compar ing it with Hloadlev's election and esti mating that the cities will do about (lie same they figure 9,00 maijority for the State ticket.

Conkting Predicts that Cleveland will Carry New York -A Great Change of Public Sen timent in the Last Two Weeks. [a peckd to the News and Courier.] NEW YORIK, October 2. - Roscoe Conkliug who knows Now York poli tics as well as any man in the country, said yesterday: "The best judges In New York City do not think Butler will poll 12,000 votes there, and it is doubtful if he gets 20,000 in the whole Empire State. Even this vote sub tracted from the Democratic number seems disastrous at first sight, but closer cousideration shows that throughout the Republican canvasf thius far one factor has not been take1 into account. ,This unspoken elemon which is to play so prominent a part inithe campaign is the disafrcte'd Stal wart element, which Is better define) in New York than elsewhere, and whicl will undoubtedly overcome all eflfrt* that can be made by the Republicanc for gaining the Empire State to Blaine'r support. It is also very I)robqble in Now York, and almost unquestiona. blo in Massachusetts, that the Inde pendent Republicans will by far ex. ceed any addition that the Irish-Amer. can elements may give Blaine and Logan in those States, and, consider ing these facts, there are no reasone why Cleveland will not carry New York, p.rovided that State does not give Blamne a stronger vote than it did Garfield, which is out of the question at this era of affairs." The reports from the great Indepen dent meeting in Boston last nisrlht show how deep the disafl'ection is therc. One opinion is quoted here to-day with great satisfaction, namely, that of Dr. James Freeman Clarke, one of Boston's brightest intellectual lights, who said: "I recently visited Governor Cleveland in Albany, and spent an hour with him alone in his private room lie talked with simplicity and freedom, with a tannler which car ried conviction of its trutlhfulness. Ile did not pretend that lie had not done wrong. From what lie said I was satistled that no one suflered more than himself from his past errors, and I was convinced that he had left them behind. But 1 gat hered this not from any formal confession or profession but from the depth of conviction witi which he spoke." The Jepublican said: "Roscoc Conkling is the man over all the New York Stalwarts, and all of the work done during the campaign will be un der his direction. It was just the other night that a number of influen tial Boston and New York Stalwarts held a meeting in New York. It was then decided to prepare an address, which has been finished and which will be passed along the lines from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, and circu lated in every place where it will do the most good." Matters are booming at headquar ters, and money is pouring in. Within the last fortnight a wonderful change has como over the spirit with which the public seems to look at National politics. Democratic success seems to be in the air. A dozenl men with whom I have talked to-day say that their doubts of' two weeks ago have been entirely cleared away, and they are now sure of Cleveland's election. An Editor M Expcerienc"e.
