Then dame a few cold Winter* and they were killed and the Unperi- quit that plan because they had no luck. Then they tried the Turf and Grazing oats w hich wjne Lost proof they were nearly grain proof too, for the yield was light although the straw waa good.*- Then about ten or twelve year* ago the open furrow system of planting was tried with success in Georgia. It is said that there has been no winter severe enough to kill oats in Georgia or this State since that plan was adopt ed. Some farmet* have raised tine crops of oats by running the oat drill two or three tlmos between the cotton row* Just after the first or second picking of cotton. In 36 inch rows only two rows of oats can be put In. If the rows are 40 to 44 inches thr/e rows may be run in. Of course that plan does not admit of any preparation of soil. If the oats are put hi very early and a-re quite forward the first of December Ibey shoulcLbj pastured down. That plan is better than sowing no oats The best plan of course I* So select such land as mav be well broken and har rowed and the oats planted October 2(1 to December 10. Plant the Appier or Southern Red to insure a tine yirld of grain. According to the land plant 6 to 8 pecks to tha acre. An excellent fertilixer for oats can be mixed thus ; 6(H) poundsTTjlSr renfpbosphate^ U)J “ muriate of potash 800 •• cotton seed meal.

Billy didn't hold aslarge cards aa Morgan's, but he played them with far greater skill. At any rate, he won back all the indney the stranger had taken out of hD frleuds. The stranger, realizing that Billy was a match for him. Informed the boys that Rflly was a card sharp and they must get him out of the game. When they demurred he declared -that If they didn't decline to admit Billy and he caught him cheating he would get rid of him by shooting him. Till* of course was reported to Billy, and he waa urged to arm hlmaelf. Billy n-sponde I that If he had pointed out the Irregu larities he liad observed in the utrau ger's game the air would have rained lead. That's all he would say alavut the matter, and, as for wearing a re volvcr at Ids hip. It was as conspicu ously absent ns It had always l>ecn. Well, the thing came to a head lit this wise; They were all playing In a room over the store, and the hands held by both Morgan and Billy were unequaled by the "heathen Chinee.'' BRly, ns usual, never l>et simply bo cause he had a big hand, only putting up his money In large quantities when he knew be had a better hand. Mor gan was losing steadily. It didn't seem to matter how valuable his cards were. Billy Invariably held lietter ones. Mor gan’s brow was every moment liecom lug more clouded, nnd the brows of the psrty (Billy's oxceptedi were also l>o- eomtng more troubled. The stranger wore a revolver at each hip. Billy had no weapon at either hip. Finally when Billy hod raked in a jack pot contain Ing $100 there was u sudden move ment of a hand of every man present (Billy excepted) to grasp his revolver. The occasion of this was that Mor gan's hand went back for his. and the others were hoping to head off a move ment that was undoubtedly intended for their friend. But both Morgan and the rest were too late. Before the stranger could move his weapon Billy had covered him with a pair of der ringers. Tha fa all there Is of the story. Rlfly had In each slqeve a weapon attached to one of hIs college contrivances, be sides a contrivance In each sleeve with w hich to '-bold cards. He demanded that the stranger lie searched, and itn plemenls for card holding were found upon him. Ills losses were returned to him, and he was escorted out of town No Manic was attached to Billy, who had saved his friends from u cord sharp. 1 have told the story Just ns I got It from one of the party nnd don't care to l>e held responsible for any thing questionable there may be In lyiiy'tt methods.
