Jones in the Noveilr "Cultivator.'') In the southern portions of the cotton belt, oats and wheat may still lie sown; in some sections it is the best time to shirt these crops. But in the northern portions of the belt, it is too late to sow anything but wheat, rye ind barley-too late for clover and the winter grasses. Cotton planters (dly the sowing of wheat, until the cotton is picked oui, both because, while that work is progress ing it absorbs all the available labor, and because wheat usually follows cotton, and the plougi.iig in cannot be done till the cotton is out of the way. 'lis makes the sowing of wheat come on a little later than is desirable. -'ear of the fly justi lies delay till nfter frost, but the sooner after frost wheat is so.vn the better. The phnt needs time, hile the weather is still mild to develop roots and push them ) ell into the soil and get a good strong ,foothol. onie thilnk that deep cover n lug of grains niakes them stand cold better; our observations do not accord witl this belief. \Wheat, oats, etc., have little stem beieat lit lie surface- if covered deep they soon throw out a circle of roots iear the surface and the part below dies. lut while the stein does not extend down wardsmucli, the roots may, andi often do, penetrate the soil to consideralde dept s. '1'liis not only establishes the plant lih n ly, but puts the endls of the roots (which are their main food-absorbing part) be yond the reach of the severest cold. In our climate the ground is not often fro zen more than hi o or three inehes; oily in very extreme cases does t he freezing extend to at depth of five or six incies. Root growth, therefore, caln go on imost of the time diriug winter; and this it does, though t he part above ground makes little pro;gress. Ihc roots are gathering iaterials and lapping the foui dation during the winter for a vigorous growth (I the phint in early spring; and this is just wlnt is needed, in our chmate, to hiausten inuituriity anuid escape the rust. J'hc gieater yiel. (If fall, as compared with spring oats, illustrates the advant ages of tlis root growth during the latter lari. of ant1un and through the winter.

The frequent destruction of fall oats by cold has discouraged the fall sowing of oats and a partial substitute is very lesirable, especially in the northern por tions of the cotton belt. Barley appears 8 to be the best within reach. It is very I hardy; seldom injured by cold and a giippl lics a very excellent feed for horses. 0 I'lhe unsettled question is, in what shape b amd how to feed it? We have seen it tl statetd that, in California, horses are turned loose on a stack of barley as cows re ulon a stack of hay or straw. After 1 Ibarley is threshed and the beard is brokei oil the grains, the latter could cor oinly be fed like any other grain. Can not some reader throw the light of ox perience on this point? If barley is t sown on ordinary land without fertiliza tion, not more than one and a half or t two bushels should be sown on an acre ;I and November is a good month to sow it i when the object is not grazing or soiling, I but the production of grain and straw. It should always, however, he sown on the best land that is available, and more or less manuring will pay, as it does on almost every crop. As there is great cer tainty of not being winter killed and the crop is as free from casualties as any grown, one can very trustingly apply manure to it. Since writing the above, Judge Betts, the Commissioner of Agri cultire of Alabama, has informed us that for twenty years he has raised barley for horse-feed in northern Alabama with great success, and feeds it just as lie feeds sheaf oats. With barley as with rye, it is in)ortant to sow home-grown seed. Most of the seed obtained from the North is spring-raised, and will not do well in our climate. The May bircts are the greatest enemy to this crop. They usually pass through our section when the barley is in milk, and prove quite destructive. Boys and shotguns are the best remedies. As cold weatlier approaches, suitable l)rovision should be made for the care of stock. Close barns and cellars are rarely needed in our warm climate ; but shelter from cold rains and barriers against cold winds are imperatively called for. Sin ple shelters planked up, or even well I 'ushed up on the north and west sides, will answer every purpose. They may be constructed of poles, to be had on every farin, and covered with plunk roofs, which can be taken down when the wiit ter is over and stored away under shelter until the next season. Thus mnantiged. they will last a very long time. '1 he usual practice in feedinig rough ness' is to throw it on the groiund, aid let the cows lick overand tranipl ilpoi it, andl the truamping uisiatlly exeei(ds the 1cking. It is a niost wastetiI p raetie.

Thursday is always univereally cooceded be the diie derun during the State Fair, in this day, big with the fate of South 'arolina's industries, our people are accus oned to crowd the capital city to its ut nost. And to-day is not unlike its yearly >redecessors. The incoming trains of yes erday afternooiL and this morning were ofde(i with Passengers from all parts of he State, who made a very perceptible in r(ense in the attendance to-day.

Though ''standing room nly" is not the case, the attendance at the ;rounis shows a marked increase, and robably doubles that of yesterday. '1'ht're seems to be an almost endless ariety of lisplays, which puzzles the eye n its attempts at selection. On our rounds ve first noticed 'tl- I(AN(Y wo1(K nl":ll'ARTMENT. here a bewildering mass of beauty prc ents itself, and pleases the eye with varia ;ate(l colors.
