The 0at Crop.

We call attention to the article of
Farmer" on the subject of devoting
more land than heretofore, to the cultiva-
tion of oats. We hope to get the views
of others on this matter, which is of con-
siderable importance. Farmer" is
gentleman of great experience in plant
ing, and having devoted considerable at
tention to this very matter, his views are
entitled to careful consideration. 1t
would neither MAKE nor BREAK any far
mcr, to experiment with this crop on a
small scale, and there will be abundance
of time to prepare patch to be sowcd
in oats next fall.
BY all means let us have the views of
other planters on the subject Of Farm

Oilfng The Harness.

lnthese times of poorleather, we should
clean and oil the harness at least once a
year, to keep it in good condition, and to
reduce the wear and tear as much as
possible. Don't let the job out to the
harness maker, but some of these stormy
days when the harness is not in use Just
take it into the workshop and commence
operations. Take the harness all apart,
and scrspe off all scurf, hairs and dirt
and wash the leather clean with soap
and hot water. Then heat two or three
quarts of neetsfoot oil in long shallow
pan and draw each piece of leather back
ward and forward, and rubbing the oil in
with cloth or sponge. Hang near the
fire to dry, and repeat the process until
the leather is saturated with oil; mix
little lamp black with clean tallow and
with cloth rub it into the leather while
warm until the pores are filled and the
surface becomes smooth and glossy. If
a harness is oiled in this way it is never
gummy and will therefore keep clean
long time. Sometimes linseed oil or
adulterated oils are used, but they dry
on the leather and make it gummy, dirt
and hairs stick to it and the harness gets
SO filthy as to soil everything it touches.
After the harness has had good oil
ing, an occasional rubbing with tallow
and lampblack will keep the leather
tough and pliable, and prevent it from
cracking.

COMMUNICATED.

CoMMUNlCATED.
Mr.. EDIToR:-In the TIMES of the
18th, / sec that oats was the subject dis
cussed by the members of the o. A. So
ciety at their last meeting. 1 think the
cultivation of oats All important matter
with the farmers of this county, especi-
ally if they can be made successfully,
and at less cost than corn. Let any one
planting corn keep correct account of
the cost of an acre cultivated, the result
will be that it is a very dear and un-
profitable crop, the question then is, what
can we partially substitute for it at less
cost? Will it be oats,2 / know that
there exists much prejudice against
that grim, the del'ef is very general that
our soil, climate and seasons do not suit
them that they are subject to be killed
out by frost in winter, and materially in
jured by rust in the spring; that they
are IN Improbable crop and not TO be
relied on. We only plant them when
we are short of corn and cannot help our
selves otherwise. May not our failures,
in great measure, be from our own
faults in the time and manner of plant
ing. ASS general thing our oats are
planted on our poorest land-on soil
that will produce nothing elsc-plantcd
when we can spare time and have moth
ing else to do. We do not manure them,
and yet We expect them to make good
yield.
I am of opinion that oats planted on
good high or wclldrained land, man.
ured and cultivated with the care we
give to corn or cotton will yield from 80
to IS bushels to the acre. If this can be
dono would it not be economy in our
farmers to gradually reduce the area of
Corn and substitute Oats for Stock
feed. would urge on them to try the ex-
pertinent on limited scale by planting
next fall one acre to each horse or mule
select good land, break it thoroughly we'll,
manure them, plow first of October, Rust
proof Oats, and let the resul, be known
through the Orangcburg Times.
My experience has taught me that a
horse or mule will work and keep i'll
much better order when fed on Oats and
Corn mixed than on corn and fodder
alone. Fodder las little or no nutrition,
it only aids corn to digest. The Straw of
oats, when cut in proper time and run
through straw cutter. is an excellent
food for horses and mules.

The Richest Boy in America.
A MAGNIFICENT INHERITANCE.

Everybody has heard of the late
Edwin A. Stevens, Of Hobokon
His father, Col. John Stevens, in.
vested nearly all his wealth in Ho.
boken lands, and soon became the
possessor of the vast tract that
stretches from the Elysian Fields
to q point beyond the line of the
terminus of the Morris and Essex
road, and from tho river to the pal.
isades. From q small village the
tract became q town, and from a
town a city; and lots were pur.
chased by the Colonel at less than
one dollar each, were soon worth
FIVE hundred times that amount.
The Colonel did not retire upon his
golden laurels. He projected the
Camden and Amboy and New Jer-
sey Railroads, and lived to SEQ both
in a fair way to completion, His
hand and fortune were visible in
every improvement, and his genius
and disposition descended to his
son, the late Edwin A. Stevens
The latter was the principle man
ager of tho Camden and Amboy
Railroad, and he applied steam
thea comparatively in its infancy
to all the various uses and projects
which had eminated from his busy
brain. Forty two years ago Edwin
A. Stevens was regarded as the
most active business man in tht
United States, and making due al

apartment occupied by Mr.. Joseph
McArdlo. Mr.. McA. was aroused
and tho two went down to tho first
floor, on tho southern portion of
which is a long room which con-
tanned pictures of various kinds,
(not paintipgs), photographs of
great actors, ongravings, &c. This
room was pretty well filed with
smoke, and the fro WAS found to DO
burning through the ceiling near
tho southeast corner Of tho room.
An effort was made to save the
Shaksperian library. Messrs. Oakes
and McArdle rushed into the room,
but they were driven back by tho
sitting smoke, 1t was found i'm
possible TO get to the cases. In the
meantime an alarm was given, and
several fro companies were spoedi-
ly on the ground. The firemen
went to work in q careful manner
and soon entinguished the flames,
which seem to have been almost
entirely in the library room.
After tho fire had been subdued
q hasty examination was made,and
tho conclusion arrived at was that
tho flames were caused by defec-
tive fue. The full extent of the
damage cannot be known until
fuller investigation is made. AS
books are very easily injured by
smoke and water, it is probable
that the entire library is pretty
we'll used up. Many works were
completely burned up, other were
charred and warped by the heat,
and others again were damaged by
tho water. ...g' .....a-.
The fire was on the southern side
of tho house, and the appearance
of things indicate that tho Shak.
spcrian library was destroyed, or
was 80 badly damaged as to be al
most wholly beyond repair. There
was very little fire on the first floor,
and the damage to the building
was not very serious, but the loss
of tho valuable library is serious
one, and one which cannot be re-
paired. Some Of the pictures on
the first floor were damaged by the
water.
"The Picture Gallery" which
contains many rare works of art,

story building south of the man

Wo have perused with great
deal of interest an esany written at
tho request Of the American Popu-
lar Life Insurance Company of this
city. Its subject is longevity, and
tho effect of different occupations
on the duration of human life. Tho
discussion of the subject is exhaus-
tive, and the manner of handling
it masterly. The tables of longov-
Ity published show q labored do
gree of research. The effects of in
temperance in reducing the aver
age of life arc marked and oven
startling. We thus find among
mechanics their lives averaging,
from the commencement of intem-
perate habits, eighteen years, and
among professional mon it is thrco
years less. This arises in somo
measure, we presume, from the Of
fects of alcoholism being somo-
what reduced by tho muscular labor
required in tho ono case, and in tho
other case the brain boing under
constant strain, succumbs m orc
quickly to the poison than muscles
do. Now and then an instance
of extreme longevity occurs when
tho person is of extremely intcm-
perato habits, but, as with our
grammar, it is not tho exception
that proves the rule. We observe
also that the largest loss of life is
noticed in cold climates, whcro
beer and spirits arc usually drank.
Thus it appears the mortality from
tho effects of drink reaches in Eng
land the enormous number of 50,-
900 annually, while in Spain, n
ino-drinking country, the annual
loss is only 1900. This is n vast
difference, even after allowing for
tho difference in density of popula-
ton. The author of the essay is
