Inith" oat, but we doubt itq makin a ood yield on poor land Not fnlhy rops do well on poor land. Next to be Red Rust-proof oats we have valtt d the Burt oats, but several years luce discarded all other kinds for the urst-proof, as it Is generally known. If Dwn during September and the early art of October they will not be killed y the cold of the 8everest winters in middle Georgia; and we have uniform y made a good yield when thus man sed. If son n later in the winter, or he early spring, they stand a doubtful hance, and not more than one time in ve will they pay for the labor of sow ng. Land upon which the oats are to be own should be broken with a two orse plow just as early as the soil can e turned and the vegetable matter vell covered up. About the 10th of September, after the manure has been Iistl ibuted over the surface, we sow the oats at an average of two bushels to the acre, and harrow them in nicely and well. Stable manure and cotton seed are here found a most excellent fertilizer, and1 we do not know that we can commend anything better. The cotton seed are crushed before being applied, to prevent germination. Treated in this way any ordinary farm should average thirty-live bushels of oats to the acre, and realize one hun dred per cent. on the cost, if the crop sell at fort.y cents per bushel. Oats cannot be raised with uniform success if slovenly planted. The land, in our opinion, should be thoroughly prepared and the seed del)sited upon a mellow, fertile bed, thoroughly pul verized. It may be that we can take a Disc harrow and go over much more ground and leave it in fair shape as to appearances, but we doubt if the suc cess can be made equal to the yield of a deeply prepared and thoroughly pul verized soil. We have tried purchas ig seed south of us with no apprecia ble benefit. The great trouble with the oats crop has been lack of prep n'ation and fer tilizaticn, and seeding at the wrong season. Cotton occupies the attention Df farmers in September and October, and they are unwilling to employ ad litional labor to put in this valuable ,rop. The teams stand idle in the sta )les, or worse, they are put into the leld to glean the last vestige of vegeta ulc matter from the soil, and the gold m Opportunity for an abundant harvest s lost, to secure a crop that frequently osts us more money than we receive or it. When we get ready, in mid vinter, to put in the crop, the oats are >adly scratched into the wel ground 1nd left to freeze out and (lie without oots or fertilizer to stimulate them inl lie struggle for lile. Every farm that is large enough to ave a gin should have a cotton seed frusler, and as fast as the cotton is finned the seed can be utilized for oats. 1 the area is reduced, t he land properly >repared and fertilized, and the Red tust-proof oats sown the latter part of epteinber, in Middle Georgia, an bundant crop, in our opinion, will be ssured. The largest yield of oats we ver made was frolm1 an acre sown on lie 7th of Noveinber. Everything that vinter was favorable for a good crop. We have not been able to repeat that Xperilnenrt since. In our Opinion our farmers make a great mistake 'in relying upon corn for heir teams. We are glad to have this luestion suggested ,just at this time by >ur correspondent, as it is one of vast m port antd should be consideredl by mr readers. If we can supp)ly our cams wvithi other grain growvn in the inter and wvithout cultivation, we lien have the more tinme to dlevote to ottoni and1 other suirlus crops5 for ani neomne to thle farm.

What Varheq .c oats shall the armes ew?. t lu this section a Sne corn crop was e grown in the year 1876; for live years a after that season the dry weoather. of r duly cut off the corn crop to less than a half. The farmers bogan to despair of p growing on old upland corn in suffi cient quantity to feed the farm stock. r in the fall of 1881 an tinprecedentedly I large crop of Red rust-proof oats were a sown and the season was favorable for t fall oats, so the farmers harvested an c enormous oats crop in May, 1882. t Most farmers thought they had at last i hit upon the plan of raising grain crops for stock, as the yield of oats that season per acre was in many cases fully fve timea greater than corn and the cost of growing an acre in oats was much less thau growing an acre in corn. But since the year 1882 the oats crop has been a complete failure in Monroe county, A few years since a gentleman from Hanco.k conuty spent a night with the writer. After supper the subject of growing oats came up, and this gentleman remarked that Mr. W. J. Northen, of Hancock, had been heard to say that he had kept an accu rate account of the different farm products raised or grown on his farm, and that he had realized more clear money on sheep than on any other farm product; and that next to sheep he had realized more clear profit from growing oats. As the season is near at. hand when farmers sow fall oats it occurred to the writer that the readers of the Cul tivator would be pleased to hear from Mr: W. J. Northen on the subject of oats raising. Does Mr. Northen sow Red rust-proof oats or has he found some variety less likely to be killed by hard winters? A short time since I received a letter from Mr. John H. Dent, of Cherokee, Ga., and lie sug gested that I should write an article on eats for the Cultivator. Mr. Dent says in his section of Georgia the Red rust-proof oats are a failure as they are too liable to be killed by cold win.. tere. IIe said for a numlier of vears he was enthused on the subject of Retd rust-proof oats, but he has now aban doned them. He thinks they are suit ed for a more tropical climate where the winters are iltd and the springs are humid. Mr. Dent says: "The oats I want Is a hardy variety that stands cold and grows tall, for I value straw as much as the grain. I want long straw so that I can cut high and have a heavy stubble to turn under for the benefit I of the land." This, I presumne, is the t variety that most farmers are after. t Let us hear from you, Mr. Editor, on i this question. For a number of years an oats club in Baldwin county has I been experimenting in growing large crops of oats, but I uc not know what variety Is sown. Some large yields have been published as grown by men in that section. In 1882, Mr. V. F. Dewberry, who is a neighbor of mine, had a field of eight acres that he thought made 100 bushels per acre; lie did not, however, measure themt. Dr. Moss, of Monroe, made 137 bushels that year on an acre. Some six or eight years ago, Mr. Jim Rose, of Upson county, made 138 bushels p;er acre on a plat of eight acres. Three years ago the writer made sixty-four bushels ied rust-proof oats on an acre of land that was only moderately good land; but in 1877 the writer sowed on the 10th day of August oats in a field of tin gray land he had in cotton at the last plowing lhe gave his cotton. The yield was twenty bushels per acre, and as the cost of the crop was simph)l whait it cost to cut them thev tdid niot cost to lay them dlown at the 'crib over five cents per bushel. Bunt on the following year lie sowved again at the last pilowinig or cotton, but August and Septenmber wer~e very hot and dry so that the oats were badl'y killed by heat. Of all the varieties of oats sowvn in this section, none have yielded such large crops as the Recd rust-proof; btt they have become too l uncertain a crop to rely on. Does the editor know anything; abouti the "Tonm Smith" oats? 'It is -qid of thenm that they growv tall on poor lantd I and yield well. If such is the faict., and they are rust-proof, it would be < well for the farme.is to give them a C trial., In the August number of the t Cultivator, for the year 1884, page 2i>7, J Bill Arp says seedi oats and wheat I ought to come from south of the sec-t tion in which they are sown. Let the farmers also hear from the editor on I this subject. lias lie tried the plan of< sowing Oats fromi more southern blti tuide, and If so, what wvas the result ? ( One of my neighbors, Mr. A. C. Jack son, brought somae oats from Macon county, kniowni In that section as the I S-Chapman" oats, because Mr. William I >Ai~mani, of D)ooly, first brought ( in that section. rThey' are, how- I the same as the "Burt" oats. I inned one bushel of this variety of < and sowed them the 1st of March; 'nsed acid phosphate on them at the I Tte of-200 poun11ds perCt acre. TVhe oats e grow- tall but the gralin was very light. e I shall not sowv them again. Men f differ In regard to the time to sow RIed rust-proof oats. Capt. McMullin, of f Monroe, who was a very successful t oats grower, saidl from the 20th of September to the 10 of October was ( thd proper- time to seed that variet y of I oats. Mr. Thomas Mat'shtall, of M on-- t roe, who is also a successful oats C grower, prefers to begin sowing tihe 5 1tof December and sow until e Christmas. My observation is that t early sown oats are heavier than late a sown, If cotton seed wouhl atdmit of v' sowing on land the last week in Soe , tensber without coming up, I would always sow at that time; but to use cotton seed on eats, a farmer has to wait until the last of Novemnber., which Is entirely too late to sow that variety a of oats. In Coweta county, someh eight or ten years ago, the farmers a sowed oats in their corni and cotton 'l fields at the last working, antd the yield on some occasions was entor- v mousn. About the same tiane Rome v very larqo yields were repor-tedi from r~ Bonth U..arolIna by sowing In cotton t and corn latIds at the last working. F. C. TURNE, r Forsyth, Ga. In reply to the above we have tosav, that the ReodlRust-proof oats have giveni na more niform satisfacetion than any i other kind. Four years ago we tried t the "Probstier" and thought from the a Orst orop that it would make a flue crop for this section. .It made WIne ? a'iJ bundant yield of beau %ui~ed. exet year we planted r.ad lstthe ontire crop e ottried a small ba '~ o th "UeknowW' oats at a ai is pe bushel and found and #e hate theo'samne the varetowes M. amArws RVpaNflse.

WAeHIKOTON, October 20- A triead cf Senator Butler, of South Carolina, said to-dav: "It is true, as the WVorlcd has stated, that Senator Butler has stopped going to the State Department and it is also true that his colleague does not'inteud to go there any more. The exact reasons have not been stated but Senator Butler was not offended with the Secretary of State because he did not promote his son to the Consu late of Marseilles. It would have been natural for Mr. Bayard to have paid Mr. Butler the courtesy of promoting his son, but the fact that he did not, would not have been a cause for griev ance on the part of Mr. Butler. The reason why Mr. Butler has stopped going to the State Department is be cause Mr. Bayard treated him with great rudeness. ''One day hc called on him to pro sent the claims of a gentleman for the Venezuelan mission. As he entered Mr. Bayard's room he said: "'Are you going to give my man the mission that I wrote ytu about?' " 'No, no, no,' said Mr. Bayard, al most without turning his head. He then began an attack upon Senator Butler on account of the Morgan ap pointrnent. Mr. Butler repudiated all responsibility for that appointment. lie said that he had carried this respon sibility before the public, and had said nothing, but that no one knew better than Mr. Bayard that he was in no way responsible for Morgan. He had not even asked to have him appointed Mr. Bayard's manner was so oficusive and his charge so unjust that the South Carolina Senator became very angry. lie drew himself up very stiffly and started to go. Mr. Bayard, to concili ate him, then began to ask him about the case of the man ho had presented for the Venezuelan mission, but Mr. Butler brusquely declined to say another word on the subject, and left. "Two days after this interview Sen ator Butler's candidate was appointed. Butler has not gone to the State De partinent since then, and will not so long as Mr. Bayard is there. The South Carolina Senator, if lie were asked about this matter to-day, would disclaim having ony grievance against the Secretary. lie simply came to the conclusion that he would not have anlything to do with him. Senator Wade Ilampton dropped Mr. Bayard's acquaintance for another reason. lie made a request of the Secretarv to transfer a consular friend of his to another point. If this request had been refused Mr. IIampton would not have complained, but the Secretary treated him with great rudeness, and made no answer to his request." The stories that some of the Sena tors tell of their treatment at the hands of the Secretary almost sur pass belief. The gratuitous rude ness shown by Mr. Bayard to his old collcagues is hard to understand. Sen ator ?ePherson, of New Jersey, called up.on him the other day, and the first thing Mr. Bayard said to him, before the Senator had opened his mouth, was: "Be brief, sir; my time is val uable," as if the Senator were a des. perate office-seeker, who was making an unwarrantable trespass upon his attention. Gov. Manning, one of the leading men of South Carolina, a man of high social. posit,ion, early in the hiistoryv of the Administration wi'ote letters to lie President and the Secr tary of State, indicating a desire to go abroad. The President wrote him a veryv polite note, saying that the mat ter' had beeni referred to the State 1 )epartmeunt. Mr. Bayar'd n'ever an swer'ed the Governor's letter', alhiough lhe had been a guest in his house in South Cairolina, and was under nutm bei'less obligations of' cour'tesv to him. Theire is niot a Demiocr'atic~ Senator herec who has not had ani experience of a disagr'eeable chai'acter' with the Secre tar'y of State. Mr. Bayard issupposed1 to be planniing a brilliant foi'eigni pol icy, aind has adlvaniced views upon01 the subject of the Nicaraguan Canal. WVhatever lie may propose, lie may be certain that it will be killed in the Senate, as lie has lost his hold on all his fr'iends thiei'e. lie has, by his course this summer01, uteiv yd(estrIoyedl all possibility of his having any sup por,'t friom Congiress on any foi'eign pohcy3 that lhe may have on hand. lie will be practically reduced to the posi tionu of' a mere figurehead without nfluence among his polit ical associates, and( wilthout any future in politics. A Olock Pu'idier wVhipp,od. A shor-t distance from Lanicasteir, last. Tuesday, says the Chai'lotte Ob serr of thie 23rd, a white mnan who had beeni peddtling clocks was tied uip and severely whipped by two young men for an insult given to a younig lady. It seems that the peddler had visijed Lancaster county a few months ago, selling clocks at exorbitant pr1ices, Ills custom ers being mostly negi'oes, lie took whlat money theoy could give hunii and then made them secur'e the b)alance by mortgage oii cows, hogs or anythmng else that the 1poor negr'oes had. Last wveek hie i'etur'ned to Lan caster to.collect these mror'tgages, aind while iinlg through the countr'y stopped at a house where he found a younig lady alonie. lie was vei'y for wvard ini his coniduct and1( unblushingly offered her an inisumlt, wher'eup)on sheo rani from the house to a Mld whei'e heri two brotheris wei'e at work and told them of whlat had occurred. Thev hurried to the house, but finding th'c mani gone they mouted. their horses anmd putt out inI pur'suit of him. It was not long untilI they came up with him, when t.hey' pulled him from his buggy, tied him with a line, and throwIng the line over the limb of a tree they pulled him up until he tip toedl the gr'ound(, pulled ofl his coat and( then larri'uped him soundly. The clock p)eddler' begged pitifully, offered to give them one hiundried dollars, he side0 hIs horse and buggy, if they would niot whip hIm, but the induce ments did no good. They gave him one hiund(red lashes, and fie was then permitted to move on-a sor-er If not a wiser peddler. A Wnld Seene in an Ohio Towns.
