sioner eff Agriculture writes from
Nashville, September, 18th advis
es the farmers as follows:
In view of the drought of the
past summer, which has prevailed
with greater or less intensity no
only in Tennessee but Throughout
the great corn belt of the Union
it is now evident that there will b,
a scarcity of corn for the ensuing
year; and that it will rule high il
the markets. In view of the scare
ity and consequent high price o
this staple l suggest to farmers il
Tennessee that they see ever
particle Of provender which can b
made to act as q substitute for corr
be saved, that all surplus stool
which can be put in marketable con
dition and sold without sacrifice b.
disposed of. Keep no more through
the winter than is necessary TO
your next years business. Durin
the comparative leisure of the au
tum prepare comfortable winte
qcarters for all the stock which
may be necessary to keep over
Sow full crops ofrye, which Wi
yield valuable pasturage durin
the winter months and make GOO
returns as a grain crop, or sery
good purpose as a fertilizer ifploy
ed under in the spring. Barley WI
answer the same purpose for pastl
rage and is perhaps more profit
bic as a grain crop. After thoroug
preparation Of your land SOW whea
as hrgelyas IS practicable. Il wi
