AGRICULTURAL DXPARTI]XNT. E What Vadety of Oats Shan the 3arWers C Sow? t In this section a fine corn crop was ( grown in the year 1876; for five years E after that season the dry weather of 1 July cut off the corn crop to less than f half. The farmers began to despair of I growing on old upland corn in suffi- I cient quantity to feed the farm stock. I In the fall of 1881 an unprecedentedly I large crop of Red rust-proof eats were i sown and the season was favorable for 1 fall oats, so the farmers harvested an enormous oats crop in May, 1882. Most farmers thonght they had at last hit upon, the plan of raising grain crops for stock, as the yield of oats that season per acre was in many cases fuly five times greater than corn and the cost of growing an acre in oats was much less than growinz 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 Hancock county spent a night with the writer. &tter supper the subjet of growing oats came up, and thisgentleman remarked that Mr. W. J. Northen, of Hancock, had been heard toisay: ththe had kept an acca rate account of the different farm products raised or grown on his farm, and that he had realized ;more clear money on sbeep 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 he sug gested 'that I should write an article on .atsAd 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.. ters. He said for a number of years he was enthused on the subject of Red rust-proof qaf4 but he has now aban doned theu -ReAinks they are suit ed for a more tropical climate where the winters are mild and.the springs are humid. Mr. Dent savs: "The oats I want is a hardy variety that stands cold and grows tail, for I value straw as much as the .pi;1 want long straw so that I can cut. high. and have a heavy stubble to tr&ak under for the benefit of the land." This, I presume, is the variety that most farmers are after. Let us hear from you, Mr. Editor, on this question :ir a number of years an otrs club in Baldwin county has been experimenting in growing large crops of oats, but I do not know what ,vaniet. wn. .Some large yields have ~ hed asgrown by men in that section., J 1882, Mr. W. F. Dewberry, who is hneighbor of mine, had a field of eight acres that he thought made 100 bushels per acre; he did not, however, measure them. Dr. Moss of Monrgeg made 137 bushels that year on acre. Some. six or eight y Mr. Jim Rose, of Upson co .aide 128 bushels per acre on a of.eight actes. Three ;ears a writer'made sixty-four bushels oats on an acre of land only moderately good land; but~ th writer sowed on thel10th 4(Augustocats ina field of thin . land he hadin cottonat the ' e gave his cotton.

But on hefollowing year he sowed again at tplo~wing of cotton, but Augst - ber were very, killedr sthtthe oats were badly killd hyheat Ofall the varieties of oats so ' etida, igene Eave crpssoheRed rust- ; 7;hage become too meerain gly on. r Doe~t~pediler know anything about the "T~i Sidith"~ 'oats?

In the - mmber of the Cf~ivzor 1 year 1884, page 257, Bill Arp. sidAgts and -wheat ought to c~ooksouth of the sec tionmwin ~ yare sown. Let the farmers froin theeditor on this subje B!as he tried the plan of sowing oats 6nmore southerns, lati tude, and if~ what was the resalt? One of my negbrs, Mr. A. C. Jack son, buqasome oats from Macon coun ,iu.tpat section as the ~oats, b'ecause Mr. Williama Sof.'Dobly, firet brought aJ~e ' ~.tIasection. They how ~ever, -imeas the "Burt' al.

I shallpgot' sew them pgain. Men differ in regard to the time to sow Red rust-proof oats.: Capt. McMullin, of Monroe, who,. was a very successful *oats growfr,''said, from the 20th of September -t4b the 10 of October was the proper time toseed that variety of oats. Mr. Thbinas Marshall, of Mon roe, who is also a successful oats grower prefers to begin sowing the 10th . .imecember and sow until Christmas: My' observation is that early sown oats are heavier than late sown. If cotton seed would admit of sowing on land the last week in Sep tember without coming up, I would always' sow 'at that time'~; but to use cotton seed on oats, a farmer has to wait until the last of November, which is entirely too late to sow that variety of oats.' In Coweta countyv, some eight or ten years ago, the farmers sowed oats in their corn and cotton fields at the last working, and the yield on some occasions was enor mous. -About the same time some very large yields were reported from Souith'CAarolina by sowving in cotton and corn lands at the last working. F. C. TURNER. Forsy~Ga. In reply to the above we have to say, that theled Rtzst-proof oats have given us more~inform'saisfaction than any other kind. Four years ago we triedl the "Probstier" and thought from the first crop~tbat it would make a fine crop for this section. It made fine straw and an abundant yield of beauti ful seed. The next yea'r we planted more largely, and lost the entire crop from rust. We next tried a small sample of the "Unknown" oats at a cost of six dollars per bushel and round them worthless, and we have the same report to make of all the varieties1 brought from the Northern markets at high cost and no profit. We know nothing, pesonally of the "Tom mith" oat, but we doubt its making a :ood yield on poor land. Not many rops do well on poor land. Next to he Red Rust-proof oats we have valu ,d the Bart oats, but several years ince discarded all other kinds for the uast-proof, as it is generally known. If own during September aid the early >art of October they will not be killed )v the cold of the severest winters in riddle Georgia; a:id we have uniform y made a good yield when thus man Lged. If sown later in the winter, or he early spring, they stand a doubtful :hance, and not more than on~e time in Ive will they pay for the labor of sow ing. Land upon which the oats are to be ,own should be broken with a two hor5e plow just as early as the soil can be turned and the vegetable matter well covered up. About the 10th of September, after the manure has been istilbuted 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, and 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-five bushels of oats to the acre, and realize one hun dred per cent. on the cost, if the crop sell at forty 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 deposited 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 ing seed south of us with no apprecia ble benefit. The great trouble with the oats crop has been lack of preparation and fer tilizaticn. and seeding at the wrong season. Cotton occupies the attention of farmers in September and October, and they are unwilling to employ ad ditional labor to put in this valuable crop. The teams stand idle in the sta bles, or worse, they are put into the field to glean the last vestige of vegeta ble matter from the soil,%nd the gold en opportunity for an abundant harvest is lost, to secure a crop that frequently costs us more money than we receive for it. When we get ready, in mid winter, to put in the crop, the oats are badly scratched into the wet ground and left to freeze ont and die without roots or fertilizer to stimulate them in the struggle for life. Every farm that is large enough to have a gin should have a cotton seed crusher, and as fast as the cotton is ginned the seed can be utilized for oats. if the area is reduced, the laud properly prepared and fertilized, and the Red Rust-proof oats sown the latter part of September, in Middle Georgia, an abundant crop, in our opinion, will be assured. The largest yield of oats we ever made was from an acre sown on the 7th of November. Everything that winter was favorable for a good crop. We have not been able to repeat that experiment since. In our opinion our farmers make a great mistake in relying upon corn for their teams. We are glad to have this question suggestedjust at this time by our correspondent, as it is one of vast import and should be considered by our readers. If we can sutpply our teams with other grain grown in .the winter and without cultivation, we then have the more time to devote to cotton and other surplus crops for an income to the farm. Let every farmer. Row five acres for each mule and see that it is well done at the proper time and the question of stock food will be settled.-Southern Cultivator. Encouraging Tobaceo Culture At the recent meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, the following resolutions introduced by Mr. Perry were adopted: Whereas, in the opinion of this Board a diversity in the products of the State has become necessary in order to advance the material resources of the State; and, whereas, great in terest is being manifested in every rt of the State as to the practica lity of introducing tobacco culture; therefore, Resolved, That $1,800 be appropri ated for the purpose of making a prac cal test in the culture of tobacco, fifty dollars to be given to one farmer in each county and a premium of $100 to the farmer reporting the best result, the farmer to whom the appropriation is to be given to be selected by a com mittee of three practical farmers in each county, appointed by the Com missioner of Agriculture. Resolved, That it shall be the duty of the Chemist of the Department of Agriculture to examine such soil as may be submitted to hinm by the farm ers selected to make the experiments, and to advise with them as to the best fertilizers to be used. Resolved, That all pro~ts derived rrom said experiments shall be retained by the farmers engaged in :conducting the samie, provided they tern the Commisioner of Agriedtiure for pub lication all valuable -iuformatidu ipci dent to: thc progress and resaltsof the experiments, and provided each farier o engaged Turnish the Commissibner af Agriculture with samples of the tobaccoraised and cured by him, which hall be exhibit.ed in Agricultural Hall, with labels indicating the type of seed and on whose farm grawn.

How the Secretary of State has Displeased His Senatorial Friends. (Special to the New York World.) WASHIxTON, October 26.-A fricnd of Senator Bntler, of South Carolina, said to-day: "It is true, as the World has stated, that Senator Butler has stopped going to the State Department and it is also true that his colleague does not intend to go there any more. The exact reasons have not been stated but Senator Butler was not offended with the Secretarv 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 he called on him to pre 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 nman the mission that I wrote you 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 pointment. Mr. Butler repudiated all responsibility for that appointment. He said that he had carried this respon sibility before the public, and bad 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. Bavard's manner w4s so offensive and hischarge so unjust that the South Carolina Senator became very angry. He 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 he 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 tbe State De partment qince then, and will not so long as Mr. Bayard is there. The South Carolina Senator, if he were asked about this matter to-day, would disclaim having ony grievance against the Secretary. He simply came to the conclusion that he would not have anything to do with him. Senator Wade Hampton dropped Mr. Bayard's acquaintance for another reason. He made a request of the Secretary to transfer a consular friend of his to another point. If this request had been refused Mr. Hampton would nor 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 pa.,s belief. The gratuitous rude ness shown by Mr. Bayard to his old colleagues is hard to understand. Sen ator McPherson, of New Jersey, called unon him the other day, and the first tfing 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 position, early in the history of the Administration wrote 'letters to the President and the Secre tary of State, indicating a desire to go abroad. The Presidenit wrote him a very polite note, saying that the mat ter had been referred to the State Department. Mr. Bayard never an swered the Governor's letter, although he had been a guest in his house in South Carolina, and was under num berless obligations cf courtesy to him. T'here is not a Democratic Senator here who has not had an experience of a disagreeable character with the Secre tary of State. Mr. Bayard is supposed to be planning a brilliant foreign pol icy, and has advanced views upon the subject of the Nicaraguan Canal. Whatever he may propose, he may be certain that it will be killed in the Senate, as be has lost his hold on all his friends there. He has, by his course this summer, utterly destroyed all possibility of his having any sup port from Congress on any foreign policy that he may have on hand. He will be practically reduced to the posi ton of a mere figurehead without infiuence among his political associates, and without any future in politics. A Clock Peddler WhIpbed. A short distance from Lancaster, last Tuesday, says the Charlotte Ob server of the 23rd, a white man who had been peddling clocks was tied up and severely wbipped by two young men for an insult given to a young lady. It seems that the peddler had visited Lancaster county a few months ago, selling clocks at exorbitant prices. His customers being mostly negroes, he took what money they could give him and then made them secure the balance by mortgage on cowvs, hogs or anything else that the poor negroes had. Last week the returned to Lan caster to collect these mortgages, and while riding ~through the country stopped at a house where he found a yeng lady alone. He was very for. ward in his conduct and unblushingly offered her all insult, whereupon she ran from the house to a field where her two brothers were at work and told them of what had occurred. They hurried to the house, but finding the man gone they mounted their horses and put out in pursuit of him. It was not long until they camne up with him, when they 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 toed the ground, pulled off his coat and then larruped him soundly. The clock peddler begged pitifully, offered to give them one hundred dollars, be side his %orse and buggy, if they would not whip him, but the induce ments did no good. They gave him one hundred lashes, and he was then permitted to move on-a sorer if not a wser peddler. A Wild Scene in an Ohle Towns. Physicians who have just returned from Peninsular, twelve miles north west of Akron. Ohio, report the wild est demonstration in that town in an effort to save the life of Anton Pfans, who was given morphine for quinine by a green boy in a drug store. Pfans took from three to Jive grains of the drug. The entire populace turned out ad all day fully one hundred men were engaged in running Pfans up and down the streets, while the women rnd children followed, adding greatly to tile excitement. At 4 o'clock Pfans began fighting the crowd and several lesperate struggles ensued. His con GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. Facts of Interest, Gathered from Various Quarters. -Rear Admiral J. C. P.

Two Murderous Indians Attack a Lone Settler-He Succeeds In Wounding One and Scaring off the Other. A dispatch from Glenullen, forty miles east of Mandan, Dakota, sars: News has just been received that Jas. Gray, living alone four miles north of Glenullen, was attacked Thursday night by two Indians, who came to the house and asked for food. Having eaten all they desired, one of the In dians, large and powerful, took down Gray's repeating Winchester rifle, placed the muzzle to Gray's breast and pulled the trigger. Fortunately there was no cartridge in the barrel. 'the Indian then put a cartridge in, where upon Gray seized a whiffle tree and, before the gun could be brought to bear, struck the Indian on the head and the gun was discharged into the side of the house. The rifle was drop ped in the scuffle. Then commenced a rough and tumble fight, both Indians taking part. Gray, losing hold of the whiffle tree, caught up a carpenter's hatchet and struck the Indian nearest to him on the head, which felled him to the floor. The other Indian fled. Grr.y seized the fallen Indian by the leels and dragged him out, and fas tened the door. Whether the Indian is dead or not Gray was unable to say. Friday morning a settler happened to go to Gray's house, and found him in bed badly bruised and scratched, and ,scarcely able to raise himself. Gray says the Indian that fled came back in the night and carried away the other. A Lawsuit Over Colbreath's Estate: ( rom the Edgefield Chronicle.) Last Friday an interesting case was argued before Judge Roati, in the .Probate Court in this village, the facts a being as follows: Dr. W. A. Culbreath t bad made application for letters of administration on the estate of his brother, 0. T. Culbreath, claiming t that Mrs. Fannie Culbreath, the widow -of 0. T. Culbreath, had waived her right to administer. Mrs. Culbreath denied that she had waivgd lier right or consented for Dr. Culbreath to ad ninister. She claimed that the prop erty belonged to her children, and she B regarded it as her duty to administec 1 on the estate for thei:- benefit. Dr. Culbreath presented two papers, one s signed by Mrs. Culbreath, the other r by her brother, Dr. Prescott, and - claimed that the papers gave him the right to administer on the estate. The - paper signed by Mrs. Culbreath simply waived her own interest in the prop erty, and she ;said that if the paper meant anything more than this then she was deceived as to its purport when she signied it. The question as f to who should administer was argued at some length by Mr. J. C. Sheppard, t representing Mrs. Culbreath, and Mr. Ernest Gary, representing Dr. Cul breath. Judge Roath rendered his - decree in favor of Mrs. Fannie P. Cul breath, granting the letters of admin istration to her. -A cotton fire at Clifton factory last Saturday was quickly subdued by the fire apparatus attached to the factory.
