Fromi th Cireston Mercury. Thlke Smnil rains .[Essas. EDIroRs: The cultivation of the diflereit, kinds of small grains his !iot received from u(rIII planters tha-it attention which they' so ftully ilerit and so amply repay. It is pretty gener ally proved that Wheat caint be produced on our Sea Islaird lands, but it is not necessary to go flr from salt water in order to be able to grow it with reasonable success. When it can be grown) So Cheaply, I caln see Ito ra Soi for devoting every etlbrt to the1 productioni ofa staple so inciertaii, anid at timrues, SO un1pllitable, as C(ottoni aid depeiding upon other to supply us with wheat flour, which can be inade quite as good and as cheaply at home. To raise Barley, it is absolutely le cessary that it should be sown in land rather sandy, ail either natural. ly rich or made so by liberal manuring. Barley is not used aimong us as food, but when cut green is the sweet est, and anong the earliest, of all the small grains, and when ripe, furnishes excellent and very early fiod for hor ses and poultry. Rye can be grown in alirost Cv ery soil, even the poorest, though it prefers a sandy one, and the prod: 1. very inaterially depends upon the fir tility of the soil. For citting gr een, it is neither so early nor so) palatable to stock, as cither W heat or Barley, but it can stand severe cold and close pas turing inuch better than either of them. The Oat is the (ost valuable as well as the iost gencrally cultivated in the lower country of all the small grains. For cutting green or pa!stuiring, Sep teiber is the proper imoith flr sow ing all of these grains, but when the grain is the consideration, October is the better season. When sown later, both Wheat and Rye are less produe tive, more liable to rust, aid more til. ceitain; while Oats and Barley nav be profitably sown during the months of January, February and March, though the earlier they are sown, the more productive and certain the crop will generally prove. An excellent time to sow Oats is the first half of Jan uary, as when sown at this time they will be tip and green before the cold spell that we usually have in Febru. ary, which would kill them if in the white sprout. The largest and best crops of all of these grains that I have ever made were made, by running a furrow with a small plough, whether Barshare or Bull-tongue, on the Cotton, Corn or Pea beds, as close to the stalks or vines, which need not be cut fir this purpose, as can be done convenient ly, turnin the earth downwards into the alley. The grains are then sown by hand, and covered by another furrow, of the same plough, tak- n from a lit tle higher up. The quantity of seed necessary will materially depend upon the fertility of the soil and the time of sowing. Early sowing and fertile soils require less seed than late sow~ng a poor soil, when sown in tile above miannier about half the usual quantity of seed per- acre on ly is required as it tilleis much1 more; when a lar-ge crop is, desired, and the cotton seed can b~e had, six parts of cot~ton seed may ho miixed with each part of grain, and the two sown to gether. It is easy to jnudge whent the sowing is as thick as desired. I have successfully pursued another- plan ini root potatee land, where no hogs nre kept or- allowed to have access; this consistslin stri pping dowii the vines and siding or underimining the beds as usual, then strew or soiw the (oats &'c. over the vines &c. and cover by pul ling with care, the earth from the mid dle of the bed across the alley, so as to coverall or most of the seed. Cirops sOwn in either wvay neither admit of nor requir-e any fur-ther cultivation, even in very stitf soils, resist drought. or rains much better tihani when sown in the usual way, and produ~ce very near ly, if not quite, as much. TIhie p'a-t sea son I sowed 1 1-2 acres of Rye and 4 acres of Oats to the hand, "by the fir-st method, without missing the la bor roqtuired to saw the crop, iand although the spring was unusually unfavorable yet I made the Ilargest crop of both these grains that I have ev er made, and bothl filled well. I have made good cr-ops of both Rye and Oats by ploughing up the land, trenching fun-rows ever-y 25 ih es with the bll tongue plough, and covering with another furrowv of the same plough; when thus sown, they require to be worked in thle spr-ing at least once, and the best cult ivation thien in stiff soils, is one furrow of a subsoil, or rather ground mnole plough. w-hich breaks tup the soil three or fouir iinch es deep. .Without sonme such plou1gh. ing, the crop on suchl soils is atpt to be poor-, even though worked thlrough] wit h the hoe. This wvorking cani ver seldom be given without muchel incon venience. The cr-op thnts made, ev en though it may somect!:nes prove a better one, yet always costs much, and sometimes more than it is worth. If the corn, &c. stalks are at an time cut down' these crops might, ev. en in bedded lands, be harvested wsith little labor or loss of timre, by using the reaping machine of either Hlussey or Mc~obmick. In connection with the above sub. ject, [ would say that I have seen most of the straw cutters made in this coun. try, and tried several, and have no lie. sitation in recommending the one now made by Rt. Sinclair, jr. and Co of Baltimore, as the most efficient ani duabe end in the long run, the cheap ,st that I have ever seen. Its cost ii altimuore Is $30, freight to Char leston $1.

And while the poet's muse would bless you, Hie in silent prayer hiath given, That should sorrow e'er distress you, You may meet and love in Heaven. OBITUARY. Departed this life, on the 22nd September, M~rs..SUSAN LEONoRA WILDEa, wife of Mir. WVAIaREN TI. WILDER, after a painful illness of a few days, in the 24ith year of her age. DIr. Wilder has left an affectionate husband, one beloved brother aiid sister, and a large circle of relives and friends, to mourn their loss. She embraced Religion when quite young, and united herself with the Baptist Church, os which she was a worthy member during life. 1Her manners were mild and unassuming: great amiability of, character-a noble, generous forgiving heart ! But she has gone from among us. In her deathl the church has sustained a loss,-ihe husband a most devoted and affee tionato wife. Tro the bereaved family I would say, stay your grief, for It is written of the Righteous "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord ! too lovely to remain in this sinful world, the Saviour chose her to be with him. And Angels from the throne on highi, Have welcomed her to regions fair, Another bright Star gilds the sky, A Seraphim is shiing there. While dwelling here the lovely flower, Blushed betneathi the roses shade; Now she adorns a heavenly bower, Where its hues will never fade. So bright a gem seemed better far, To gleam beyond the sky, Shi was given to show what Angels are, Then like a flowver to-die!
