WILL IT PA Y TO MANURE OATS. Editor Orangeburg Times : As I did not keep :i manuscript of letters, written lust year. I may rc caputulatc, I>ut. 1 consider the iuets of such importance, it will not be amiss. First; before answering this question, willi figures, 1 would state thstt cut oats is the cheapest and best food known for horses and mules, as wc have the best climate and soil, innehanically considered, in the world for its production. To raise oats successfully we must know something of its nature. First; oats require, considerable moisture, and bereis the cause, why so many of our far mers, fail to successfully raise it. planting it on washed oil'hill sides, soil incapable of holding moisture. The analysis of oats, shows, thai it contains one half of its weight in silicate Of lime: thai il requires con siderable nitrogen <>r ammonia and phosphate of lime and potash. Hut to be practical. Mow can the farmer obtain them? 1 will give my mode. To obtain silicate of lime, 1 apply straw, potash and Dr. Haveners ash clement. On stubble hind, in duly in order to obtain a good green manuring which furnishes humus, and sow eowpeas which furnishes am monia, phosphate of lime and potash in abundance for < he oat or any ot her crop. Now for facts and figures to prove that manures pay on oats. 1 planted a Held two or three years without Ibrlili/.ing. The yield accord ing to'iny and my iieighborsjudgiiient was 20 bushels per aero, with manure above, worth ash element per acre on peas, and 1<> bushels cotton seed per acre Oil oals. The yield hist year, according to compass and two horse load measurement, was over 100 bushels per acre. This'year the promise is equally* as good, and I think a little better. I have ten acres planted in oals on the IKI road, with 10 bushels cotton seed only per acre. I The yield promises me or2fi bush, per acre. This land made last year according to my judgment about one bushel of. corn per acre, being well worked, and I am well satisfied would not make'oats worth the cut ting without the 10 bushels cotton seed. Now brother farmer, make your calculation and decide the question for yourself. The advantage of manuring oats is not confined to the yield alone, but promotes the growth of weeds and grass, furnishing good pasturage or improving your land by green manur ing, a system not known or practiced in our County. 1 have said in this letter that oats is the best feed for horses, and thai our soil and climate is the best in the world for its pro duction. Science bears me out in this assertion, and I am ready to funish the proof, if any of your rcadj crs doubt or request it. In my next I will write on book farming, and its advantages. ('ill rtc. OKANOhbT itG'S TK0UKLKS. A Sijunbblo over the Proposed Changes hi the County Olliees. A correspondent in thcXcws and Courier writes : "A small sized war is being waged here between some of the olliee! s of the COIIllty illlll the members of the bar as to the carry ing out of cert a i n changes in the ar rangeinenl of the county oflieors, which wire recommended by the grand jury at the last term of the court, and while 1 don't care to fake a hand in the light. 1 think it will be of interest to the people ofthecounty t.0 IlliVl! both sides ol* t lie quest ii ill laid before t hem. The recommendation ofthe grand jury was tiiat the clerk of the court; who now occupies two rooms opening ink) each ot her. should move his olliee into the room now occupied by the county treasurer wherein, it is slated, there is a large vault suitable for the preserve I ion of mm port an I papers; the treasurer and county auditor to occu py I he i wo rooms vacated by t lie clerk of. court, thus bringing these two im porlunt olliees in close and intimate connection as they are in the line of their duties, thus avoiding, it is claimed, great inconvenience and trouble lb taxpayers who. under the pi e-.eiit arrangement, a re frequent ly compelled in pay penalties for want of opportunity lb pity their taxes wii !i in the lime prescribed by law. It is further claimed, by those who desire the change, t hat by this arrangement the olliee of the auditor will be lefl vacant and call be appropriately used as (lie master's olliee with a saving fit' $T."i ii year, the rent now paid by the county for Ids Olliee. Upon this recommendation ofthe grand jury Judge Fressloy made an order carrying it into effect ami the work was commenced. Ileibre it bad proceeded far, however, the clerk ol the court objected, and at a meeting of Hie bar recently held a petition sighed by the whole bar, with the ex CCptioil of tWO, WHS prepared and was presented to Judge Thomson, asking him to rescind the order of ?Iudgu I'resslex. and set ting for! h IIS t he lea sou therefor t lull the clerk of I lie court being also the registrar of in es ne cOuseyiinco way necessnrilv I obliged to have i wo rooms in which lo keep tin' voluminous records Of his two olliees separn e for 1 ho eon von ience of the bar. The\ also objected to the cos! of $100 which the change would entail. The toinily treasured aifti auditor ' and about a hundred citizens, in answer to this petition, put, in tt coun ter petition, asking that the order of] Judge Frcssley be not rescinded, und thai its terms be forthwith carried out. This petition was presented by Solicitor Jorvoy, all the members of the Oraiigeburg bar being on the ot her side of I lie quest ion. Judge Thomson niter hearing both petitions issued nn order this morn ing referring the winde matter back to the county commissioners to take testimony and hear both sides, with the right of appeal from their decision to the court. And so the matter stands. He that don't read papers is igno rant of the world he lives in, und be hind the age of the current history of the day, and i-i not moved by eon cord of sweet sounds, mid hath no music in his soul. Let no such man be trust,...!. "The grass \?< turning green,"' wus the observant remark of a young man escorting ii pretty damsel across the common, and the saucy miss replied "that he had got ahead of the grass by a number of da vs." The cure of most people is how to get husbands for their daughters; l?ut my care is to Iii my daughters to be good wives; ami then let God pro vide for them.
