Jfoss in aouthera fOatistor). p In our last, the importance of cov- a eriug our Belds with growing crops through the winter was 4iscussed at tj some length. Increased acreage in a oats, barley, and especially rye, wheat 0 also grasses and clovers, was earnestly advocated. The more we reflect upon the matter, the greater its importance t impresses us. It is not too.late yet in much of the cotton belt to start these crops, and for this reason it is again brought to notice. In the coldest por tion of the cotton belt wheat sowing will begin this month, and rye and barley may be seeded down well into next mouth. Abundant opportunity, therefore, exists to do this convorvat Ing work. We are trying to Improve our lands- every wide-awake farmer is diligently husbanding and gathering materials for composts; let us not neglect the means of holding on to the fertility already acquired. In machinery a ratchet-wheel is all im ortant-its equivalent is not lees -so aa agriclulture. We cannot afford to p9e anything we have gained; what bver manurial elements the present crop has failed to utilize must be held In reserve for succeeding crops. This is just as necessary as the annual ap plication of new doses of plant food. We are not unmindful of the cost of seed and of seeding under the propos id arrangement. Let us stutdy every .deans for reducing it; economizing power or labor is a great desideratum in epr farming. If called upon to single out the most important item just 'ow in the line of progress, we would unhesitatingly select economy of pow Jr. Our ;mechanlcal appliances are not equal to the demands of the time or of our suiroundings. We do not substitute horse-power in place of human muscle sufficiently, and we fail to get the full benefit of horse power by making it work through inadequate or imperfect implements. We have been studying fertilizers very diligent ly during the last fifteen years; we are - pretty well advanced in the chemistry of the farm. Let us concentrate "ur thoughts now for awhile on - the mechanics of the farm; let us find out how to produce the greatest with tho least labor. Consider what a revolu tion in our farming the general Intro duction has brought about. Who would go back-to the shovel and scoot er In the cult'.ation of a crop? But has the sweep, or its better substitute, the scrape, exhausted our Ingenuity or set bounds to usefbl contrivances? it is, or should be, but the beginning of a thorough revolution in the mechanical appliances of the farm. In the prepa ration of land our Ingenuity has not advanced beyond the gathering up and burning of precious vegetable matter to get it out of the way, or else with a turn-plow of burying It in one thin continuous sheet several inches below the surface. Neither of these are at all desirable. Implements are needed which shall cut up and comminute weeds, grass, stubble, stalks or what not,-and leave them In condition for any form of plow desired to mingle them uniformily with the soil. The screw pul'verieer, the Disc harrow, etc., are the beginninigs in this directien. Such im plement's, if perfected and pro vided with seedi ng attachmenmts, would make the p)utting in of graini and grass a very light job. A tmant and ' four horeses could put in eight or ten acres a day. Gontrast this with the l old style of manm and( horse and scooter 1 finishing up one a dlay. Profit is the differencee between cost of production and g rose sales, anidt cheapness of production 1is moure apit to a bring godd profits thani large yieldst with heavy expense account. Butc meanwhile, until the necessary imnple- I mnents are perfected, let us do the best we can with such as we have. Double- l shovels, sweeps, cultivatorb, harrows, I judiciously used are decided imp)rove ments on single-shovels and scooters, and a diligent farmer canm, with these sow down a very large quantity of land l from the first of' September to the first I of December. Of the various anti-leaching.cerops, rye and burr clover are the most prom ising, and the reader Is urged to take the necessary steps nowv to raise an abundance of seed of each of them for next year's use. ilomne-ralsed seed(l comparatively litWe; why should a farmer pay from one to one and a halt'i dollars per bushel for rye, when he I can raise it for fifty cents a bushel or less, just because a majority neglect to sow rye, and have to pay whatever the few who do raise it choose to ask ?jIf I the practice of sowing rye on our- bate a lands should become general, seed r*ve would go a begginmg. But all nmoti neded for sowing could be profitably fed to alock-; ground rye Is a most ex- t celledt horse food, and the superfluous a grutin, together with the abundant p as-a turatge afforded by the p)ractice advoe- I. cated, would more than paty (lhe ex- I pensesof it. f, Partly for the wvork of conservation e anid partly for tihe value of (lie crop ti itselfI to the famer's family andl lab)or- d era, the sowing of wheat recommeceds b itself. WVe are fully aware that thme w cotton belt Is not the home of the wheat Ii plant, andl that only the hardier varie- fe .ties of it can there be gr.9u.with rea- 5e sonable hope of profit.: 46,bearded al varIetIes, like the Mediterranean, are 9y most to be relied on, amid early matur- rui ity Is a matter of prime implortanmce. be( Wheat.r-aising int the cottonm belt niar- at nishes anm inistanice where extremes r. e x better thant the Proverbially safe mfeanis. dIa Best profits come either from a few pe acres not fertilized at all and very pe lightly seeded. In view of the deslra bilit yof having growing crons on as ho large areas a. possible duringr winter, In the practice of sowing from a half ob bushel to three pock. or seed per acre, col without manure amid with least expeni- ar< diture of labor, Is probably upon the onl whole preferable to the intensive ar- fit rangement where one has an abund- bI ance of land. It was a good deal In bi vogue before the late war; without of pr'evious preparation of soil, the seed dr was sown and plowed in.

Universal experience co - rms the indispensability of this sub- t ance to a wheat crop; it must have a ill supply of available nitrosren to s roduce laage yiolds. But tie two rticles mentioned contain in addition nitrogen a fair supply of phosphates I ud test experiments have given addi. onal proof of the value of p4ospborio old to wheat. Five hundred pounds f acid phosphate to an acre would upply liberal quantities of the sub tance most needed by a wheat crop, nd ought, under favorable conditions, o produce large yields. Both of these ertilizers may be plowed-or harrowed n with the seed. Ii high culture the urface soil should be brought into the most tilth before the seed is sown, by epeated plowings, rollings and har owings, and especially if the seed are arrowed or brushed in, a good roll ng should follow and complete the work. The "firming" of the surface soil Is done by the roller makes the seed come uip more uniformly and gives vigor to the y'ung plants by pre venting to free exposure of their roots to air and dampness. Whether land for wheat should be very deeply broken in our climate admits of doubt.' As we all know, the worst enemy of wheat is the red rust, and this is more apt to attack a crop on damp than on dry land. Ilence a dry May is so favorable to wheat. But a deeply broken soil, and especial ly one filled with humus, dries oil much more slowly in the spring than a shallow, broken one; there comes the danger from deep breaking. Moreover, as the soil and subsoil are usually wet in winter and therefore soft and penetrable by roots there is the same necessity of deep ireaking for winter crops that there is for those of summer. Roots can work their way quito readily through unbroken soil in the early spring while it is wet and soft, and a wheat crop is generall ma tured before the ground gets so dry as to be very hard. Perhaps the best time to sow wheat is a week or so before the average date of a killing frost; this, of course, varies with different localities. In the northern portions of the cotton belt, it is not far from the 25th of October; towards the Gulf it approximates the middle of November. From the mid lie of October to the middle of Noven bor, or even the first December covers the period of wheat sowing. Tire Hessian fly and other insects are not likely to injure a crop which comes up fter a killing frost. But for there insect enemies, wheat might be sown earlier with corresponping hastening in the spring, with iore likelihood of escaping rust. The early settlers of Mfiddle Georgia, we are' told, some imes sowed wheat in August and nade fine crops, and it would be well o try on a small scale early sowing igain. On rich land such sowings night come forward too rapidly and ihooting up, before hard freezes, might rot killed. This might be obviated by ight grazing. On poor land there Is ittle danger in this direction ; hence )ie should make the earliest sowings )fall kinds of all kinds of grains on he poorest lands Ind finish up with ho richest. Oats, sown on poor land is early as the last of August, are tnot ikely to head out before frost; but if rn airy kiud of grain jointing thrreatenis o begin by the 1st of November or aefore, a little judiciouse grazing with :aves or sheep in dry wveather will emnedy tire trouble. October is usually a dry month arnd 'ery favorable to thd~ housing of crops.

Instead of boards aid on without nalling and kept down ( ly weight,*plank -an Ishch and a quar- > er thick, of proper length, will found t nore convenient and more effective as f covering. A good supply of such . lanks should be kept on every farm a or temporary shelter purposes. A C oaded wagon, a pile of hay.or other I tuff could be roofed In a few ninutee e igainst a threatening rain. When not n n use they could be stored under l dielter and would last for years The I next best plan is to cut and stack the viucs at once, without drying, around 1 a second growth pine with low branch- C ing limbs, the ends of the limbs being cut off so as to rake the outlines of the tree after it is trimmed coae shap", ed. The limbs prevent the vines from settling down too closely qma the I shrinkage in drving gives a plenty of ventilation. Of course brush or rails raised above the surface, are placed around the bottom of the tree to keep vines off the ground. It is well also to cap with hay or straw, as pea-vines do not shed water very well. After they are well cured, put up in barns, as such stAcks will not bear long exposure to weather. Much crab-grass hay can be saved on every farm; cut when in bloom, or a little after, the quality is excellent. Most of that which is usually saved is cut too late, the seeds having already formed and drawn from the stalks and leaves their most valuable contents. The seed usually drop off, and add nothing of value to the hay. A train ed hand, with a good reap-hook, can cut a great deal of this grass in places where the mowing blade cannot reach it. Swamp grasses, if cut early just in bloom make good medium hay for cuttle and mules, but as in the case of crab-grass they are generally cut too late. Never let grass, aftet It Is partly dried, take dew; all that Is cut before two or three o'clock should be put up in cocks just before night, and as fast as it cures, several small cocks should be brobght together and put into one large cock. The rule Is to expose as possible to dew, rain or siln, and a large cock has less surface in propor, tion to its contents than a small one. We have have often tried to cure potato vines, but without success. A week or so, however, before the usual time for digging potatoes the vines may be grazed off without appreciable injury to the crop. Most persons pre fer to dig after the vines are singed by frost, and the work is usually done from the 25th of October to the 10th of November. If the ground is dry, so that there is no danger of injury from freezes, it is well to defer the digging as late as possible, as it is desirable that the potatoes should be cool after they are dug-coolness, dryness and as little variation of temperature as pos sible are the conditions requisite for keeping potatoes. The temperature of the interior of the bank or hill should neuer fall below forty degrees, and if practicable not raise above sixty. In warm weather it would be difficult to keep the temperature down to sixty ; therefore we say it is best to put up potatoes after the weather has become settled :old. The sinking below forty degress is to be guarded against by a liberal covering of pine straw, corn stalks, etc , fluished off with a layer of arh. After the straw is compressed, it ought to be six Inches thick, and the layer of dir-t on outside from six inches to a foot, accor-ding to the sever-ity of the climate. The thicker- the coatinig of straw and dir-t, the slower the chlanges of temnperatur,e in thle interior of tihe bank ; this, therefor-e, is a very good means of pre-venting sudden var-iatiotioni fa-om warm to cold or the a-ever-se. Another is to pr-otect the bank from dir-ect sunshine. A thier mnometer- being In the shade will show less variatins of temnper-atur-e durinug the twenty-four hours of nliglht amid day than one hung In the sunsh Inc. For- 'a like reason a shaded potato bank will have a mor-e unlior-m temper-aturae than one ex posed to the sun duing the (lay anidto free radiation at night. Potatoes go through a sweating process soona after- they are banked; it Is wvell, ther-efor-o, Lo have a ventilator through the the centr-e of tihe bank and an openinsg at the top during the Grat threce or four- weeks after they ar-e put up. Subsequently thle opening should be thoroughly closed, not only with staw~, but with dirt likewise. Exclude air', exclude moisture, and excluda ighlt; keel) the temper-atur-e uniform hot or cold-these ar-e the requisites for preser-vation. The potato 1s a tropical plant; in the tropics there are two seasonls, the wet and the dr-y. In its r-elat Ions to vegetation, the former takes the place of our sumnmer-, and the latter- of our wilnter-. Vegetation Is more or less dependenit durinug the dry season. The sweet potato bridges I't over- by Its tuber-s, which remain uin chianged in the dry hot soil. The tem per-atur-e of the soil, though high, is utmilfor-m, an,d this unIfor-mity, togetherI with absence of mnoistur-e, keeps the tuber-s dorimnt. A cool soil would be I better- if above frecezing poinut, because a beat Is onie of thme etimnulants to ger-mi- t nation, or sprouting, which is similar ' :o germilnationt, and to rotting, wvhich C a always an aiccomnpanimnent of germi- r antion.

There were many witnesses examin ed in the Bellinger-Riley killing on Monday.

The corres ponent is a personal friend of Dr. Bellinger, who is perhaps as prominent a physician as there is in Charleston. There was great ex citement at the inquest. Ia fact the crowd was worse mystified after tha they were at the inquest.

The next morning Dr. Bellinger came in and mid oaths and vituperation had passed between then,. It Is not known, but the only witness whom the jury trusted much was Mrs. Holmes.

"Well, sir, will you hold this ford?7" "I will try, general." "Wilt you hold this ford?" "I will die in the attempt." "That won't do," replied Gon. Rose crans. "Sir, will you hold this ford? Look mue in the eye and tell me if you will hold this position?" Gen. Price answered: "I will." "That will do," replied Gen. Rose crans. "I bid you good day." Gens. Price redeemed his promise; he held th. ford. On the following day his brigade bore the brunt of General Bre'ekinrid go's awful charge with his division of Kentuckian's, and General Rosoerans, for his g allantry and cour ag~e on these two days, promptly and eArnestly reesemndod Gen.

It is possible that money dipped into a bounteous supply of printer's ink, is to be used to teach false ideas. Why is it that such persistent anathemas should all at once be hurled against the use of "Potash and Potash Mixtures?" Those who insist that Potash is a po1son do so because that is the way they have of fighting B. 13. B., as the latter contains potash properly combined. Opium, morphine, strychnine, aconite, whiskey, etc., are all deadly poisons, and are daliy destroying the lives of peo)le, and wh o not these uen cry out aga Int them? It is b)ecause there is no money in sight to do so. Potash is not regardedt as a ~oison, and very seldomn harms alny one-; uttos 0h abuse it are using a vegeta ble poison ten times as violent. Iotdide of Potash, in prop er con,bination, is regarded by the mlediicaIl)professionl as the (Iluickest, grandest andI most powerful b)loo< remledy ever knowvn to manl. Tho14se whot believe In revealed combinations antd Indian fool ish ness are surely in a condition to become rather ''cranky"' In their idleas at any time. WVe assert undtierstandingly that Potash, as usedi ill the mlanufacture of H. B. B.. is niot a poison, and the publie need ntot pliace any confiiience in assertitons to tile contrary. Why is it that in one0 thIousand letters whi.ch we receive we niever hear a word against its use? Th'~e trulth is; B. B. It. is working such wontders in the cure of all blood poisons, ser<.fula, rheutmatism, ca tairrhl, etc., that others are tremlbling in their hoots, andit cry al oudt, "'poison "' '"fraudt,'" because they fear its triumph want1 mlarchi. Let any mall or w.tmani ask any re'sp.etable dioctor or tdruggist if we are not right. J)o nlot b)e deceived, but go right ailng and( call for B1. H. ii., and be euIred. It is making live timles miore cures in Atlanta than all other blood( remedies combined. We don1't say that others are poisons or frauds; we are not thlat easily alarmned, but we say ours is the best, and we have the p)roof. Send for our 32-page book, free, andt be con vincedi.
