EEED ron work stock.

We have often urged upon our
readers the Importance Of this sub
Ijsct. Year after year the RsWspa-
psrs TEEN with advice 10 the farmer
to raise at home abundance OffsOd
for stock Of all kinds. We see in
dicatiOns ofa better time to Gene
for wsrk stock in The number and
sizs OF pastures and al occasional
stack Of homemade hay, but the
production Of : grain crop, sun
cisnt for all purposes on the farm
continues to be neglected in the
Southern country. 1t is easily de.
monstrated that stock feed can be
produced ON the Southern planta-
ton much cheaper than it can be
bought from the West. Even the
most persistent all-cOttOE farmer
will admit the truth Of this state
ment but be sill continues to buy
from his Western nsighber, The
mortality among out work stock,
caused by the feeding Of boat.corn,
has materially decreased its uas ~
Southern planters within the last
few years. The disasters Whichtfol.
lowed the free use Of this b"at1Cora
in sacks were denounced by the
n newspapers throughout the lower
valley Of the Mississip Pi until i
was brought to the attention Of ell,
and planters and farmers who OBJ
tanned their feed supplies from the
West found it necessary to secure
a substitute. As . consequence,
/, the feeding of oats from the West
has, in a large measure, been adopt
ed instead Of corn. The change
/. has been decidedly advantageous,
/. and oats are new regarded - q
, more wholesome 4 nutritious toCd
/ for work stock during W rrn wealth
q or. The demand for oats has be-
come greater, and the western
4 dealers have shsrpehed their wits
to secure, at paying figures. tbs
trade in this grain A correspond
emit from Iowa says that the oats foI
this section are especially DoCTOREI
We are informed that at least TWEEN
n ty per cent. Of scrSehiAgs from 9th
/. er grains, composed Of blasts'
grains of wheat, rye and barley, be
70 sides the seeds obnoxious and poia
Onous weeds, are introduced intt
o the oats prepared for this m arkst
j. So it would seem that in Aeelni
from the evils Of boa:.corn, vi
have rushed into those we wot no
! Of-the adulteratiOn Of oats
y There can be no doubt Of the baC
effect of these foreign substance
upon the stock to which they ar
!. fed. Nothing short of a rigid in
!; spection will remedy the evil, By
enabling the buyer to reject III
!, adulterated grain. As this u nt
done, our. planters had bsst /
back to the only true plan-faia
an ample grain supply at hOm'
This can be done with very llttl
Additional work, but with great ~
ditionaI comfort to every Twin
