 In correct course of cultivating the crab grass hay crops it ought, for variety o reasons 10 ioho" the oais and every planter ought for his own lher- est, 10 have annually his plentiful supply oi oatS io, his horses and mues with as much certainty aha care he provides bread for his own table; TOT a luxnrant crop of grass afler oats, IS as certam any other result that follows any operation of the planter, and IS 3 crop on lanu' it ought to precede remunerating operation ln some form or other, consequently would hoard up every particle of manure flat could he gathered and made in any and every manner and form for the special purpose of giving that remuneration to the soil, and to secure the heaviest crop of crab grass hay thai can be made.

 Take into view the labor and cost of production and nt the common selling price in any part oi our country, (and there is always demand for hay) the hundred pounds remunerates the producer one hundred per cent better than the article of cotton, yet the importers of the article of hay and it is always scarce still the fact stubborn one, that every economical planter might seven years in ten, rear in his corn field. after laying by his crop, an ample sufciency for hIs consumption.
