OATS AS A LEADING CROP.

From our experience for the past
few years, we are of the opinion that
oats are not as highly appreciated as
they should be. They are as little
trouble and expense to grow as any
other grain crop, and when properly
handled, make the finest food for cat
tie, horses and sheep. When cut at
the proper stage they serve as grain
and hay. The truth is, most farmers
depend too much on corn as a food
for horses and cattle. We believe
stock would thrive better, live longer
and be of more service if fed less corn
and more oats and barley. We have
found oats very valuable. For a few
years we have cut with the mower
and after curing raked with the horse
rake in the same way we do hay.
Either cut with straw cutter or thrown
into racks as hay, stock eat with a
relish and keep in good condition.
Shelled oats are very good for horses,
and when ground and mixed with
wheat bran, corn meal or cotton seed
meal, make very fine feed for mich
cows. In the preparation of lands
for clover or other grasses in the
spring, there is nothing that suits so
well to sow with clover as oats. The
same work that is required to prepare
the land for grass will answer for
oats. In this way a crop may be
taken from land every year, and at
the same time improve the land. We
have found that oats and clover do
well together and pay better than
wheat or corn as a general thing.

quite II mills per ton per mile, or
carrying ton about miles for cent
The ocean freightage, say $500 miles
for 8 cents per bushel, is the same
as carrying ton III miles for one
cent. AT times, during last year,
the ocean freightage was only about
half these rates; in other words the
leviathan ocean steamers transported
grain at the rate of about one cent for
carrying ton 20 miles. That would
be the same for land carriage as if a
man should haul a ton of wheat 1884

for thejob. Some of these steamships
can carry at least 1880 tons. I'M
agine freight train of 300 cars, each
loaded with 500 bushels of wheat, the
train over 2! miles long. That whole
train load could be dumped into one
of these 1850 ton steamers, and be
propelled across the Atlantic in 8 or
days, or 400 miles per day, or faster
than the speed of ordinary accom-
mediation trains On most railways!

Grain Carriage Chicago to Europe
Prairie Farmer.

Prairie Farmer.
During the past week the railway
freights on grain from Chicago to the
seabOard have been 20 cents per 100
lbs, equal to II cents a bushel on
wheat, 1lB cents on corn, 81 cents on
oats. In the competition, many lots
were taken below these rates. At
the same time shipments of wheat
were made from New York to vari-
Gus English ports and to Antwerp,
at 4!d@3d, or not quite 8 cents per
bushel, and of oats at about 6 cents
per bushel. These rates make the
cost of transporting a bushel of wheat
from Chicago to Europe 20@21 cents
per bushel. On the same day, fair
No. 2 aspiring wheat sold in Liverpool
for 33s per quarter, that is bushels
for almost exactly IS, reckoning the

The Chicago cash price on the same
days, for the same kind of wheat,
closed at 794 c. Calling the freight
age 20 cents, left margin of only
half a cent per bushel for handling,
waste, insurance, etc. In other
words, wheat was higher in Chicago
than in Liverpool. AS before stated
in these columns, wheat has been
lower priced in England recently than
before in a hundred years. COnsum-
ers there are in clover when wheat
sells below 10 shillings, or 500 per
quarter, or $1.20 per bushel, equiv
alent to nearly 81 in Chicago. Freights

PLoW UNDER CLOVER.

TO illustrate the benefit of blowing
under clover, a farmer four miles
north Of town took piece of ground
containing two acres that was badly
exhausted by long tillage, and sowed
it in the fall in wheat, in the corn.
The next year he harvested from the
field eight bushels. In the spring
before harvesting he sowed the two
acres to clover, and after letting it
grow one year, he plowed under a
heavy crop of clover, and sowed it
again to wheat and harvested the
neXtyear twenty bushels. Following
this he again sowed it to clover and
again plowed under Il growing crop.
The year following he harvested
thirty-two bushels aside from the
seed, A neighbor adjoining sowed
fifteen acres of an old WoIn-out field
to wheat and harvested twenty-eight
bushels from the fifteen acres, less
than two bushels per acre.

THE Legislature of Arkansas have
enacted a law to prevent the playing
of base ball on Sunday. Would it
not be wise for the Tennessee Legis-
lature to do likewise? Why will
our Legislature and men in authority
longer permit the holy Sabbath to be
thus desecrated? What assurance
have we that God will much longer
allow us to willfully and knowingly
violate His holy laws? Sooner or
later, if we continue our wicked re-
bellion, He will as certainly punish
us, nationally, as he did the Israelites
and all succeeding nationalities for
their persistent rebellion against His
holy commandments. He will as
certainly punish us as He did them
if we continue our wickedness. Let
the Legislature do its duty and pro-
hibit, by enactment, such wholesale

THE Prohibition Convention met
at Nashville on the 25th, and was
called to order by Col. A. S. Colyar,
chairman of the executive committee.
There were about one hundred dele
gates from the various counties in
the State. The convention, by reso-
luton, called upon the present Legis-
Iature to submit the proposition for a
constitutional convention to amend
so as to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of alcoholic spirits as beverage
in the State. AS there seems to be a
desire for a convention to amend the
constitution in some other respects, il
. is very probable that the question OF
prohibition, in some form, will be
submitted to the people.

Nashville March 10th or 18th. 1t is
desirable that Tennesseans be on
hand on both occasions in force, and
especially on the 18th. That will be
