AGIUC?LTtHAL DEPARTMENT. What Varlet/ or Ont-. Shall th? Farmer* Bow f , Iii this section a fino com cop wits grown in the year 1870; for five years after that soasou tho dry weather of July cut off tho corn crop to less than half. Tho farmers began to despair of growing on old upland corn in NU Hi ?ient quantity to feed tho farm stock, in tho fall ot" 1881 un unprecedentedly largo crop of Red rust-proof oats were flown and the season was favorablo for fall outs, so tho farmers harvested au enormous oats crop in May, 1882. Most farmer* thought they had at last hit upon tho phui of raising grain crops for stock, as tito yield of oats that season per acre was iii many cases fully flvo tinaos greater than corn and thc cost of ??rowing nu nero in oatt* wa? much less than growing an acre hi corn. But since the year 1882 the oats crop lias been a completo tai lure in Monroe county, A fow years siucca gentleman from Hancock county spent a night with thc writer. Alter supper tho subject of growing outs carno np, and this gentleman remarked that Mr. W. J. Northen, of Hancock, had been heard to say that ho had kept an accu rate- account of tho different farm products raised or grown on his farm, mid that he had realized more cleat money on sheep than on any othct farm product; mid that next tb sheer ho had realized more clear profit from growing oats. As the season is near at hand when farmers sow fall oats, it occurred tc thc writer that the readers of the Cul ti valor would be pleased to hear from Mr. W. J. Northen on tho subject ol oats raising. Docs Mr. Northen SOM Rjfc.'r. rust-proof oats or has bc fount -"fbmc variety less likely to bc killed bj hard winters? A short time since received a letter from Mr. John II Dent, of Cherokee, Ga., and he sug gested that I should write an articl on oats for the Cultivator. Mr. Den says in hie section of Georgia the Uci rust-proof oms arc a failure as the aro too liable to be killed by cold win tors. Ile said .for a number of year bc was enthused on thc subject of Rc rust proof outs, hut he hus now abai doned them. Ile thinks they arc sui cd for a more tropical climate whci thc winters ure mild and the sprint nro humid. Mr. Dent says : "Thc oats I wat is a lmrdv variety that stands cold ail grows tail, for l value straw as mut as tho grain. I want long straw i that I can cut high and have a heal stubble to turn under for the bene . of tho land" This, I presume, is tl variety that most farmers arc aftc Let us hear from you, Mr. Editor, c this question. For a numbor of yea an oat? club in Baldwin county h been experimenting in growing lar/, crops of oats, but I do not know wh variety is sown. Some lnr<re yleh have been published as grown by mt in that section. In 1882, Mr. NV. 1 Dewberry, who is a neighbor of min had a held of eight acres that ! thought miule IOU bushels per acre ; I did not, however, measure them. D Moss, of Monroe, made 137 bushc that year on an acre. Some six eight years ago, Mr. Jim Rose, Upson county, made 138 bushels p acre on a plat of eight acres. Thr ?ears ago thc writer made sixty-fo ushcls Red rust-proof outs on an ac ot laud that was only moderately go* land; but in 1877 thc writer sowed i thc 10th day of August oats in a tic of thin gray land he had in cotton thc last plowing he gave his cottc The yield was twenty bushels per act and as the cost of the crop was simi whal it cost to cut them they did ii cost to lay them down ut thc crib o^ five cents per bushel. Rut on thc following year he sow again at the last plowing of cottc but August and September wore vc hot and dry so that the oats were btu killed by heat. Of all the varieties oats sown in this section, none lui yielded such large crops as the B rust-proof; but they have become I uncertain a crop to rely on. DoeR the editor know anything abc the "Tom Smith" oats? It is said them that they grow tall on poor IH and yield well. If such is thc hi and they are rust-proof, it would well for the l'arinc.is to give thor trial. Ju the August number of I "~ "Cultivator, for the year 1884, page 2 Bill A rp says seed oats and wh ought to conic from south of thc s tion in which they are sown. Let i farmers also hear from the editor this subject. Has he tried the plan sowing oats from more southern h tudc, and if so, what was the rcsu One of my neighbors, Mr. A. C. .la son, brought some oats from Ma? county, known in that section as "Chapman" oats, because Mr. Willi Chapman, of Dooly, first brou, them in that section. They are, lu over, tho same us thc "Hurt" oats, obtained one bushel of this variety oats and sowed them, thc 1st of Mar I used acid phosnhato on them nt rate of 200 pounds per acre. The o crew tall but the grain was very hg I shall not sow them again. A differ in regard to thc time to sow I rust-proof oats. Capt. McMullin, Monroe, who was a very success oats grower, said from the 20th September to the 10 of October v thc proper time to seed that variety oats. Mr. Thomas Marshall, of M roc, who is also a successful c grower, prefers to begin sowing 10th ot December and sow u Christmas. JMy observation is t early sown oats aro heavier than I sown. If cotton seed would admii sowing on land tho last week in S tcmher without coming up, I wo always sow at that time; but to cotton seed on oats, a farmer hat wait until tho last of November, wli is entirely too late to now that vari of oats. In Coweta county, sc oight or ten years ago, tho farm sowed oats in thoir corn and cot fields at the last working, and yiold on some occasions was ct mons. About the same time sc very large yields wore reported fr South Carolina by sowing in cot and corn lands st the last working. F. C. TURNKM Forsyth, Gs. In reply to tho abovo we havo to s that the lied Rust-proof oats have gi us more uniform satisfaction than i other kind. Foar vears ago we ti the "Probador" and thought from first erop that it would make a I crop for this section. It made I straw and an abondant yield of bea ful seod. Tho next year we plan more largely, ?nd lost the entire c from rust. Wo next tried a sn sample of the "Unknown" oats al cost of six dollars per bushel and foti them worthless, and we havo the sa report fo make of all tho varlei brought jrom the Northern markots and up profit. Wo km oraoiaslly, of Hie "Ti Si H 11 li" oat, but wo doubt ii' making a good yield on poor lund. Not m tn y crops do well on poor lund. Noxt to too Ked Btist-proof oats wo have valu ed ibo Bttrt o?is, oui several years since discarded all other kinds for tho rust-proof, as it is generally known. If soSvn during Soptombor and tho early Ifart of October they will not bo killed >y thc cold of the severest winters in middle Georgia; and wo have uniform ly mada a good yield when thus man aged. If sown later in tho winter, or tho carly spring, they stand a doubtful chance, and not moro than one time in iivo will thoy pay for tho labor of sow ing. Land upon willoh tho oats aro to bo sown 6bould bo broken with a two horse plow just as carly ns thc soil can bo turned and tho vcgctablo matter well covered up. About tho 10th of September, alter tho manure has boen disti?buted over the surface, wo sow tlic cats at an average of two bushels to tho acre, and harrow thom in nicely and well. Stable manure anti cotton seed are hero (build a most excellent fertilizer, and wo do not know thal wo cnn commend anything bolter. Thc cotton seed aro crushed before being applied, to prevent gortnination. Treated in this way any ordinary farm should average thirty-live bushels of oats to 11 ic acre, anti realize ono hun dred per cont, on thc cost, if thc crop sell at forty cents per bushel. Oats cannot bo raised witli uniform success if sloven Iv planted. Thc land, in our opinion, should bo thoroughly prepared and the seed dcp-isitcd upon a mellow, fertile bed, thoroughly pul verized. It may bc that we can take a Disc harrow and go over much moro ground mid leave it in fair shape as to appearances, but. wc doubt it thc suc cess can bc made equal to tho yield of a deeply prepared and thoroughly pul verized soil. Wc have tried purchas ing seed south of us with no apprecia ble benefit. Thc great trouble with tho oats crop has been lack of preparation and for tilizaticn, and seeding at the wrong season. Cotton occupies thc attention of farmers in September and October, and they arc unwilling to employ ad ditional labor to put in this valuable crop. Thc teams stand idle in thc sta bles, or worse, they aro put into the field to glean thc last vestige of vegeta ble mal ter from thc soil, and thc gold en opportunity for nu abundant harvest is lost, to secure a crop that frequently costs us more money I han wc receive for it. When we get ready, in mid winter, to put in the crop, thc oats are badly scratched into thc wet ground and left to freeze out and die without roots or fertilizer to stimulate them in tlic struggle for lifo. Every farm that is large enough to have ti gin should have a cotton seed crusher, and as fast as thc cotton is ginned thc seed can bc utilized for oats. If tho area is reduced, t ho laud properly prepared and fertilized, and thc lied Bust-proof oats sown tlic latter part of September, in Middle Georgia, an abundant crop, in our opinion, will bc assured. Thc largest yield of oats wc ever made was from an acre sown on tlic 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. Wc arc glad to have this question suggested just nt this time by our correspondent, ns it is one of vast import and should bo considered by our readers. If we can supply our teams with other grain grown in tho winter and without cultivation, we then have thc more lime to devote lo cotton and other surplus crops for an income to ttie farm. Let every farmer sow live acres for each mule and sec thal it is well done at Ibo proper time and the question of stock food will bc settled. - Southern Cultivator, Kncournglnf; Tobacco Culture At thc recent meeting of thc State Hoard of Agriculture, tho following resolutions introduced by Mr. Perry were adopted : Whereas, in tho opinion of this Board a diversity in tlic products of the Slate hn? become necessary in order to advance tho material resources of thc State; und, whereas, great in terest is being manifested in every part of tho State as to the practica* bility of introducing tobacco culture; therefore, Resolved, That $1,800 bo appropri ated tor the purpose of making a prac? cal test in thc culture of tobacco, fifty dollars to bc given to one farmer in ouch county and a premium of $100 to tlic funner reporting the best result, thc larmer to whom thc appropriation is to bc given to bo selected by a com mittee of three practical farmers ii, encli county, appointed by thc Com missioner ol* Agriculture.

BAYAItu'S HI' l>KN KSB. How the Secretory of Htoto has Dlnpleaaed HU Senatorial Fi tonda. {/Special to the New York World.) WASHINGTON, October 2fi.-A friend cf Sonntor Butler, of South Carolina, said to-ilny : ."lt is true, as tho World has stated, that Senator Butler has stopped going to tho State Department and it is also true that hit) colleague does not intend to go lhere any more. The exact reasons have not been stated but Senator Butler was not offended \\ it li thc Secretary of State becauso ho did not promote his son to tho Consu late of Marseilles. It would have been natural for Mr. Bayard to have paid Mr. Butler tho courtesy ot promoting his son, but the fact that he did not, would not have boen a canso for griev ance on tho part of Mr. Bnllor. The reason why Mr. Butler has stopped going to tho State Department is bo cause Mr. Bayard treated bim with great rudeness. '.Ono day ho called on bim lo pre sent thc claims of a gentleman for thc Venezuelan mission. As he entered Mr. Bayard's room ho said: " 'Aro you going to give my utr.il tho mission that I wrote you about"!" " 'No, no, no,' said Mr. Bayard, al most without turning his head. Ile then began an attack upon Senator Butler on account of tho Morgan ap pointment. Mr. Butler repudiated all responsibility for that appointment. Ho said that he had carried this respon sibility before the public, and had said nothing, but that no ono know better than Mr. Bavard that bc was in no way responsible for Morgan, lie had not even asked lo have him appointed Mr. Bayard's manner was so oflensivc and his* charge so unjust that thc South Carolina Senator became very angry, i He drew himself up very stiffly and started to go. Mr. Bayard, to concili ate bim, then began to ask bim about the caso of tho man he lind presented for thc Venezuelan mission, bul Mr. Butler brusquely declined to bay another word on thc subject, and left. "Two days after this interview Sen ator Baller's candidate was appointed. Butler has not gone to thc State De partment since then, mid will not so long as Mr. Bayard is there. Tho South Carolina Senator, if he were asked about this matter to-day, would disclaim having ony grievance against the Secretary. Ile simply caine to thc conclusion that bc would not have anything to do with him. Senator Wiido Hampton dropped Mr. Bayard's acquaintance for another reason. He made a request of thc Secretary to transfer a consular friend of his to another point. If this request had been refused Mr. Hampton would not bavo complained, but tho Secretary treated him with great rudeness, and made no answer to bis request." Tho stories that some ol thc Sena tors tell of their treatment nt thc hands of thc Secretary almost sur pass belief. Thc gratuitous rude ness shown by Mr. Bayard to his old ? colleagues is hard to understand. Sen ator McPherson, of Now Jersey, called upon him tho other day, mid thc first Hiing Mr. Bayard said to him, liefere tho Senator bad opened his mouth, was: "bo brief, sir: my time is val uable," as if thc Senator were a des perate office-seeker, who was making au unwarrantable trespass upon his addition. Gov. Manning, one of thc leading men of South Carolina, a man of high social position, carly in thc history of thc Administration wrote letters to tho President and the Secre tary of State, indicating a desire to go abroad. Tho President wrote him a very polite note, saying that thc mat ter bad been referred to thc State Department. Mr. Bayard never an swered thc Governor's letter, although he had been a guest in his bouse ni South Carolina, and was under num berless obligations cf courtesy to him. There is not n D?mocratie Senator herc who has not had au 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 ol? tho Nicaraguan Canal. Whatever ho may propose, be may be certain tba* it will bc killed in the Senate, as he has lost bis hold on all his friends there. He has, by his course this summer, utterly destroyed all possibility of bis having any sup port from Congress on any foreign policy that ho may have on hand. He will be practically reduced to thc posi tion of a men figurehead without influence among his political associates, and without any future in politics. A Clock Peddler ' Vhlpped. A short distance lVom Lancaster, last Tuesday, say? tho Charlotte Ob server of the 23rd, a white man who had been peddling clocks was tied up and severely whipped by two young men for au insult given to a young lady. It seems that thc peddler had visited Lancaster county a few months ago, scllin;; clocks nt 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 cows, hogs or anything else that the poor negroes had. Last week he returned to Lan caster to collect these mortgages, and while riding (brough tho country '?lopped at n houso where he found a young lady alone. Ho was very for ward in his conduct and unblushingly offered her an Insult, whereupon she ran from thc house to a Held where her two brothers wero at work and told them of what had occurred. They hurried to thc bouse, but finding tho man gone they mounted their horses and put out in pursuit of him. It was not long until they carno up with him, when tticy pulled him from his buggy. Med ''ba with a line, and throwing the lino over the limb of a tree they pulled ''im up until ho tip toed thc ground, pulled off his coat and then larruped him soundly. Tho clock peddler begged pitifully, offered to givo thom ono hundred dollar?, be side his horse and buggy, it they would not whip him, but the induce ments did no good. Thov gavo him ono hundred lashes, and ho was thou permitted to move OU-a sorer if not a wiser peddler. A WIM .Scone In mn Ohl* Towna.
