OATS.
4 PRESENT TO srEscEIEzRs.
We remain yours truly,
A. 9. STALEY q Soss,

Last winter we obtained from Mr..
Wick, the great seed man of Rochester,
y. Y, a small pactsge of the celebrat.
ed Russian white oats. DR.. Stewart, Of
this city, sowed IL in his garden and
found il 70 be all that il WIS recon-
mended. II is such good variety
that we want TO see IL started in this
locality, and consequently the small lot
of seed We have will be given away TO
our subscribers. We will pat the pro-
duct Of one or two heads ia an enve-
lope, and send it TO the address Of any
Of our farmer subscribers on receiving
an order and , cent stamp to pay for
postage and envelope. We would send
more, but as the quantity we have is
small we canno. do so 0ithont running
out before we serve all 81 our ayicult-
ural subscribers. If yoa are in Albany
call at our Office and you eau get the
package without using tho mails. II
any unrepcntant Republican who does
not take the DEMOCRAT wants any Of
our oats he will have t) pay l2i cents
package for them, and we think we
will make the same rule apply to
Democrats who 10 not patronize our
paper.
Mr. Wick has the following to say in
relation TO this variety Of oats and Is
supported in his statement by testimo-
nial4 from men who have raised them:
RUSSIAN WHITE OATS.
This new variety Of oats has aIieady
been tested in nearly all portions Of
the country, from Maine to California,
and the reports from almost all OF the
States Of the Union are unanimous in
It's commendation "a the heaviest yield
or in cultivation. One hundred and
fity-seven pounds Of clean oats were
harvested from single ounce Of seed
last season. In nine-tcntha Of the re.
ports the yield exceeded 500 fold IN.
crease.
The Russian white oats are prolific
without parallel, and with ordinary
cultivation viii yield 100 bushels per
acre. They are extremely hardy, en-
during the coolest climate in our coun-
try without injury, and are absolutely
rust proof. Each kernel planted will
produce 25 to 20 heads from l6 10 %
inches in length. The straw is large
and strong enough to support the enor-
nous heads of this variety. The gain
Is heavy and the chaff is light, so that
n measured bushel weighs considerably
more than bushel Of ordinary oats.
All things considered. this is the most
valuable variety Of oats now grown,
and Is destined when known more
widely, to become the standard sort.
