Ucinhart resided a majority of his time in l'ort Deposit, hut ho had a iargo drug store in Washington. He was a young man of fine address and great popularity, and is quite wealthy.

Kc<)NO>iYOFTuBraff1f^n Oats.? Now 'r that our farmers have gone so largely into r '' the cultivation of oats, wo desire to pive d them a few practical hints in regard to its ^ euonomic use. The old style plan of feedls incr in (lie shenf is wasteful in the extreme, ( s as any farmer can ascertain who takes the j r trouble to observe. One hundred pounds ? d of sheaf oats of fair quality will thresh out sixty eight pouu ls of shelled oats, all weigh' ing thirty lwo pounds as the standard weight d for a bushel j this would uiako two bushels ; and lout pounds of grain. In feeding sheaf ,, oats, 25 pound1, to th 3 mule or horse per 't day, is what is considered a proper allow 11 ance iur an amiu.il doing steady lurui work. This 25 pounds of shoal' oats contains 17 j : pounds of shelled oats, equal to a half bush- ^ >r el ami one pound over, which, though en- t is lircly too much grain,yet it is necessary to t r, give this much in the sheaf Id allow for ^ is the wnLte occasioned by this manner of n feeding, as the animal is sure to loose much t] 't of lite grain while biting at of chewing t i upon tiie straw. In feeding shelled oats, from t is six to eight quarts is ample for a pleasure s d or road horse, aud a peek and a half or t twelve quarts, which is equal to twelvo ^ d pounds, is a liberal daily feed for a horse or c u a mule engaged at hard ploughing. It a will thus be soeu that feeding shelled oats n 'S iuvolvcs a saving of five pouuds per day, as is agai ist feeding iu the sheaf, which is equal o to a saving of a little more than ouo fourth ? on every bushel. y Now, as the toll for threshing is only onet> tenth, and as tho straw, properly housed or u stacked, is just as valuable for long forago 11 after threshing as before, it can readily be ' seen how great is the economy of feeding the y shelled outs over the wasteful plau of feed- u J iug iu the sheaf. An economy wich iuvol- j ? ves lite saving of twenty-five bushels out s u of one hundred, is something worth cousid- j " ering, and therefore wo trust the readers of ^ y the Aiken ISccontcr, will ponder upon thes substantial facts aud profit by them. t; c At one time there existed in this section y ' a prejudice against oats as food for working a animals, it beiug claimed chat it was not u strong enough and therefore corn was better. 3 Never did there exist a geater fallacy.? 1- Oats is the best graiu iu the world for 1 t ... .... . u a nurses, as it auounus in tuoso elements ' \ which give strength and ho iith to^tbo ?Ut? ft Mill ailhniU h??tii?rthig hlund n?.thu naxLa. '> slant use of ludiun corn 1b more than apt u u to do. While wo advocate an occasional r h change of food for the horse or mule, we *' u arc constrained to believe that no cereal is ? " so nutritive and wholesome for a constant 11 diet as clean shelled oat*. We hope theren' lbro that our fanners will increase the ^ 1L> acreage year by year given to this valuable s cereal, and that they will economize in its 1 b use. by having every bundle shelled care~ fully and preserving every pound of straw ' h ?A then Recorder.
