THE VALUE OF OATS IN FEED
ING HORSES AND MULES.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
Many farmers are prejudiced against
eats on the ground of exhaustion to land.
Our experience on this point is that they
exhaust the soil no more than wheat or
rye. As an experiment several years ago
we sowed in the same field, the soil of
which was uniform, wheat, rye and oats,
for the purpose of feeding down with
hogs. A very luxuriant crop of each
was grown, and the folloWing year the
entire field was planted in corn. There
was livelier, quicker growth on the oat
land, was easier to work, fewer weeds
but after maturing there was no percepti-
bic difference in the yield. 1t cannot be
proven that we have any food for the
horse or mule equal to sound oats finely
cut up-snd as q preventive of the fatal
disease known as bolts, we confidently
believe from careful observation that oats
are most valuable. They act as gentle
aperient removing continually the grubs
and preventing an accumulation of them
in the stomach. Another proof of their
superiority as food-a complete assort-
r1eut of every species of horse food may
be placed before the animal and his I'M
erring sagacity will point 70 the oats in
preference. j. w. F.

TOOmBS ONGREELEY.

Some of the good people of Ohio re-
Gently invited Mr.. Toombs to attend
celebration of the birthday of Hon.
Horace Greeley. Mr.. Toombs replied as
follows:
AUGUSTA, Ga, Jan. 25, 1971.-GRN-
TLENKM l have received your letter in
viting me to participate in the celebration
of the sixtieth birthday of tho Hon.
Horace Greeley, and but for a pledge that
l am under not to cross Mason aud Dix
on's line, until can ''call the roll of my
slaves" at the base of Bunker Hill Monu-
ment, should be with you on an occa-
sion which awakens some pleasant and
many bitter memories.
Georgia, you will remember, went
quite reluctantly out of the Union. 1 was
enabled to rush the ordinance of secession
through our Legislature by reading in the
House the editorials of the New York
Tribune, upholding the right of the
| Southern States to set up government
for themselves, and denying the right of
| the Federal Government to keep US in the
Union by coercion. For this timely ser
| vice, l then cherished warm feeling of
gratitude toward Mr.. Greeley, but q
"change has come over the spirits of my
dream" All things considered, taking
Georgia out of the Union was the worst
days work ever did.
Instead of our slave roll-call, things
have turned out end for end, and now
slaves call the roll for their former mas
tiers. The negro has been elevated not
only to a personal equality, but has ac-
tually become the representative of wi lite
men. l do not, however, refer to this
painful and notifying reverse in the
fortunes of the South by way of reproof
or complaint. Mr.. Greeley, in sdvocat-
| ing the right of secession "meant well, "
though it was ga great mistake" and
while cannot forget that was cruelty
misled, l can lay my hand upon my heart
and cheerfully say that forgive him.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT TOOMRs

and put Il in "spider, y turning over il q
large cupful of sweet milk; add q qusr>
Ter of q teaspoodful uf dry mustard, a
dash of pepper, little salt and q piece
OF butter as large rs butteFnut; str the
mixture all the lime. Have sf hand three
Boston crackers, finely pounded or rolled,
and sprinkle them in gradually; as soon
as they are stirred in, turn out the con-
tents into warm dish and serve. 1t is
very delicious. @
By the following method is cold roast
beef or mutton as good the second day as
it was the first. Il is TO be cut IN thin
slices, each slice dipped infiour and busted
with salt pepper and sweet herbs, then
placed In layers In deep dish, and cover
with gravy or water. Catsup poured
over or canned tomatoes are added, the
dish filed with water, then covered tight
" and baked two or three hours. This
makes even the poorest and toughestparts
of a roast tender and delicious in flavor.
Moths.
The following simple precsution against
moths is presented to be quite as sure as
any of the popular sntidotes: Safety
from moths for furs consists in having
them undisturbed through summer in a
snug place. Muff boxes are not secure.
Taking them out occasionally to air ex-
poses them 10 the moth. No pepper,
camphor or tobacco is needed. After
you have worn them for the last time in
the spring put them into q linen pillow
case, tie up the end in tight knot, and
shut them up in drawer which will not
be often opened
Care of Cutlery. $500
Ivory handles should never be wet
more than TO be wiped with moist cloth.
Contact with water turns them yellow.
Silver forks and spoons should be gath
cred up separately, and never with the
knives. Great care should be taken to
keep them free from scratches. New
cutlery, unless most carefully wiped and
dried, rusts badly. To remove rust
already accumulated, rub on q little sweet
oil, and lie: it remain for several days;
then rub with soft brick; a flannel cloth
is best, next to chamois skin, for rubbing
spoons and cutlery.
Potato Frhfters.
Take five or six large mealy potatoes
(peschblows are the best and slice them
lengthwise, about one-nfth of an inch in
thickness, throwing the slices in cold
water as they are cut. Have ready q
deep griddle on the fire in which some
lard or nice drippings have been melted;
lay the slices in separately, and sprinkle
them with salt Fry them to a nice
brown on one side; then turn and brown
the other. Try them with fork; and as
soon as one piece is well done, dip it into
the batter and return il to the griddle.
By the time the last piece is dipped, the
first need turning. As soon as the fritters
are Drowned on both sides, lay them on q
heated dish and put more on the griddle.
They need constant attention to keep
them from becoming too crisp or burn
ing. Half teacupful of sweet milk,
one egg, little salt, and -four enough to
make it of the consistency of pound cake,
is good recipe for the batter. Apples
sliced and cooked in the same manner
and eaten with sugar, make a good de-
serk

planter, near Columbus, Mississippi, ex-
perimenting on one acre, set his cotton
plants three and half feet apart each
way, thinning to two stalks in the hill,
and cultivating in the same manner IS
with corn. The yield was more than
double that grown in the old way, and in
respect to the maturing of the boIls, ad-
vantage was found in the reader access
