Ootton planters delay tlie sowing of wheat, until the ootton is picked out, both because, while that work is progress ing it absorbs all the arsilable labor, and because wheat usually follows ootton, and the ploughing in cannot be done till the ootton i£ ont of tlie way. This makes the sowing of wheat oome on a little later than ia desirable. Fear of tlie fly justi fies delay till after frost, but the sooner after frost wheat is sown tlie better. The plant needs time, while the weather is ■till mild to develop roots andpush them well into the soil and get a good strong foothold. Some think that deep cover ing of grains makes them stand cold better; our observations do cot accord with this belief. Wheat, oats, etc., tiave little stem beneath the surface—if covered deep they soon throw opt a circle of roots near the surface and tlie part below die®. But while tlie stem does not extend down wards mud), the roots may. and often do, penetrate tlie soil to considerable depths. This not only eftablishes the plant firm ly, but pata tlie ends of the roots (which , are their main food-absorbing part) be yond the reach of the severest cold. In our chmatc the ground is not often fro- ■an more tiian two or throe inches; only in very extreme eases does the trotting extend to a depth of five or six inches. Boot growth, therefore, can go on most of tile time during winter; and. this it does, though the part above ground ■»kas little proercas. Tlie roots are gathering materials and lapping tlie foun dation daring the winter for a vigorous growth of the plgnt in early spring; and this is just what ia needed, in our climate, to hasten maturity and escape tlie rust The greater yield of fall, as compared with spring oats, illustrates the sdvant- sgea of thw root growth daring and through t)i MONTH. |p*°» in lightly—not more than two ] mchea. if neoeassry harrow—end finish up j by rolling the land. i rnOM I The frequent destruction cl fall oats t by cold has discouraged the fall sowing I of oats and a partial substitute is very deeirable, « " ft tions of tlie to he tlie beat within reach. \ | hardy; "seldom injured by mipiAies a very excellent feed trfrv. ttsol Panevn MohM Ds 1s I j Aril.) t Writer. Lt is very oold and for horses. The nnsettled question is, in wtiat shape and how to feed it? We have seen it stated that, in California, lionise are tnrned loose on a stack of barley as cows are upon a stack of hay or straw. After Iwrley ia threshed and the beard is broken off tlie grains, tire latter could oer- like ani other grain. Can- ■ ‘"Cughtof tuialy be fed not some reader throw tlie light of ex perience on this point? If barley is sown on ordinary land without fertilize tion, not more tlum one and a Italf or two bushels should be sown on an acre; and November is a good month to sow it when the object ia not graznig or soiling, but the production of grain and straw. It should always, however, be sown on the best land that Is available, and more or less manuring will pay, aa 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. Mince writing the above, Judge Betts, the Commissioner of A gin- culture of Alabama, has informed us that for twenty years he has raised barley for horse-feed in nortliern Alabama with S 'reat success, and feeds it just as he eeds sheaf oats. With barley as with rye, it is important to sow home-grown seed. Moat of the seed obtained from the North is spring-raised, and will not do well in our climate. The May biros 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 arc the best remedies. As oold weather approaches, suitable provision should be made for the care o: stock. Close barns and cellars are rarely ucoded in our warm climate ; but shelter from cold rains and barriers against cold winds are imperatively called for.- Sim- K shelters planked up, or even well itbed up on tbo north and west aides.

It is a most wasteful practice. A I«ttrr, and at same time inexpensive and convenient method is to have racks, with the slats near together not wide enough apart to admit the cow's nose, but only its tongue, *o that it ean pull out only a little at a time. It not only prwsnta waste from forsge louig pulled out and trod under foot, but enables the animals to tear off pieces small enough to be chewed—to divide a shock, for instance, into several mouthfuls.

Fakirs,. confi- donee men and light fingered gentry, who usually infest fair grounds, are conspicuous by iiieir alwenee. There are, however, a uumlKsr of side-shows, jennies, etc., and there are many refreshment booths, cigar stands and photographic tents. So, while the grounds are not so well filled with amusing characters and there is not so much life and fun as are usually to be found, yet the public will lose nothing on this account. Upon entering the ground lloor of the main laiilding tlie visitor is amaml at tin comprehensive exhibit of field crops und garden product'. There are long tables strung. around the wjiIIs of Uie building and u|K)n Uiem are displayed in attractfve order eveiy variety of vegetables, cereals, roots, herbs uud products of the earth Mammoth beets, rice in sheaf and loose, huge Irish ami sweet potatoes, immense turnips, onions, peas, (8 or 10 varieties) beans, rys, outs, barley, millet, pindans, corn, (loose and In the ear,) and others too numerous to mention. In this department are to be found Iwrley, cotton, hay. fodder and peavines. None of the articles contained tags lor cards which indicate the natee of the exhibitor, so that it is not practicable to state at this time wbb the exhibitors arc. A Hxcokd rcjioitcr ascertained, ho waver, that HichKnds.pro crcssive anil sucaemful farmer. Air. James AI.

The incoming trains of yes- erday afternoon and this morning were loaded with passengers from all parts of the State, who made a very perceptible in- cream! in the attendance to-day. The streets arc lined with pedestrians, who create a busy scene, while extra ’busses are running to and fro to accommodate the additional crowd, and the street cars and hacks are coining money. Though “standing room only” is not the case, the attendance at the ground* shows a marked increase, and proiiably doubles that of yesterday. There seems to be an almost endless yurifity of displays, which puzzles the eye in its attempts at selection.

Here a bewildering mass of beauty pre sents itself, and pleases the eye with varia gated colors. We noticed In this collection a sofa cushion, of patchwork, made by a gentleman; one in tapestry, by a lady; a basket of imitation coral, made of rice, and containing fruit made of wax and resin, by a child of six years; a map of England and Wales,, worked in canvas; a Japanese Mosaic sofa cushion, by a lady 78 years of age; and a neck scarf, knitted by a child 14 years, with crippled hands—all of which are tieautiful specimens and most creditable to the makers thereof. Among the quilts we olwerved patched- *ilk quilts and crazy quilts of all descriptions. There is also a lovely one, crocheted by Airs. W. W. Cut- U-r, of Orangeburg. This is an exquisite piece of handiwork, and was spun at Mr. George H. Cornelaon’s factory from cotton cultivated in the lady’s yard. ITNK ART AND LITERARY DEPARTMENT. This department contains some excellent specimens of painting, and pen and crayon work. The Columbia Art School exhibit of profile and architectural drawing is creditable to that institution. Especially do wc notice a pair of sheep, enlarged with a pantograph, by a IS year old child from a miniature copy, and a Hudson river scene in ersyon. Oil paintings of all kind*, 'oine of them ck-gant specimens of art, duck the walls and delight the eye. There K also .a imcm on the “Liberty Bell,” by Mr*. If. A. 1'earson, of Greenville, S.

Wheat foaovs oot- pipu.g and | fixtures requisits to convey it warm and fresh to every stall? Tbo remarks about warm water for stock apply with equal force to warm food as against cold. The practice of <-<K>kina food, which at one time v largely practiced, from the belief that it* natntiouKucns and digestibility , has advantage experiment not to be superior to un cooked food in other respect*. Under some ciroumstanccs it might be more economical to warm the food of cows in extremely oold weather by cooking dr steaming, th*n to have the animal warm it by consuming more food. As a rule wood and oaal an cheaper than forage and grain. It is sometimes the cose that cooking or steaming is decidedly advantageous by imparting the flavor of the more I xJatable to Unit which is less so, in s mixed ration. Wheat straw, for instance, abounds in hydro-carbons, but is de ficient in nitrogen; ootton seed aupl land should be selected for it. The sur face soil, to a depth of three or four inches, should be brought into tlie finest i.by glowing, rolling and harrowing, r manure is used shonld be tiior- ocoughly incorporated with this surface soil. If cotton seed is applied, it should be plowed in with the wheat. Commer cial fertilisers may be plowed in shallow or harrowed in. In olden times, fifty bushels of cotton seed to the sore was re garded as a safe guarantee of a good crop, even on poorund. Thirty bushels of ootton seed and one hundred and fifty pounds of acid phosphate per sore is pcefenable to fifty bushels of seed alone. Three hundred ] ►omuls of ootton seed meal is about cnuivalent to thirty bush els of seed, ana may be substituted ip place of them. Tlie above quantities of manure may be applied at the time of aoeding.

But if fed wpomtely, an animal would not cat the straw well, becauae it is not palatable food ; it is defeotive in flavor. The quantity of ootton seed meal prop er for an animal is too small to be mixed well with the neoessary amount of straw, even when the latter is cut up. But steaming will impart the flavor of the meal to os much straw as is desirable. The compounding of different kinds of food in proper proportions, is not only desirable for the health aad thrift of qpjmals, bat extremely important in an oeonoBungl point of view. Excess of any one ingredient of food above its due proportion is not appropriated by the ftniraal, and is practically foet.
