LETTER FROM RLACK,S.

BLACKS, S. c., January 26.-From ap-
pearances, at this time, the farmers cannot
tell what may be the result Of the small
grain crop. The acreage in wheat is about
the amount usually soWn, while there is a
falling off in the amount of oats, which
deficiency cannot be made up in spring SOW
ing, as the spring crop is not very reliable.
This is unfortunate, as the oat crop is the
cheapest and best feed crop we have.
We have had plenty of snow and sleet,
covering the ground several inches in
depth, and afterwards followed by rain,
which renders the ground very muddy and
disagreeable.
C. NJ. Green, Esq, of our town, returned
Il few days ago from a visit to his fathers in
Rusk county, Texas. He took in the New

interesting account.

to the State by this system is immense, and
is increasing every day. The town coun.

SOUTH CAROLINA DAY AT THE EXPO
SITION.-Commissione Butler has received
al letter from the chief clerk of the depart
ment, Major l.. A. Ransom, who writes
that as February Is, the day selected as
"South Carolina Day. at the Exposition
had been previously taken, Thursday, Feb
ruary 10, has been accepted instead, and
will be the proper time for an influx of
South Carolinians to New Orleans. The
Mardi Gras celebration begins on the 18th,
and South Corolinians visiting New Orleans
on brief excursions can witness the celebra-
tion on that day and 60 to the Exposition
on the next. At the request of Commits
sioner Butler, Mr.. d. Cardwell, the general
passenger agent of the Charlotte, Columbia
& Augusta and Columbia & Greenville
roads has conferred with the authorities of
the roads interested in the reduction of
fares between Columbia and New Orleans
and has written Commissioner Butler that
they cannot make the rate lower than S23.3O
for the round trip. The present rate is S25.
This will be disappointment to many who
expected the rate to be cut much lower, and
who cannot afford to 20 to New Orleans at
existing transportation charges. COTep0a-
tlence Ne'cs and Courier.

Summer Seeding to Grass.

The Summer work should not all con-
sist in cultivating and harvesting crops.
There may be some judicious seeding
done and it should be done well. The
american Agriculturist says: The
most successful seeding TO grass may be
done in July and August, after the
grain crops are taken off. The present
season has been bad one for the seed
sown last Fall The hard Winter de-
stroyed the timothy, and the late
Spring has interfered greatly with the
seeding of the cloyer. As q rule, it
may be said that Summer seeding is
more successful than Fall and Spring
seeding, but the ground must be thor
oughly well prepared. The whole Sc
cret lies in this preparation. The fol-
lowing plan has been found excellent:
The stubble is well plowed, not more
than four inches deep, and Immediately
narrowed in thorough manner.
There are several new implements
which do this work in the best manner,
pulverizing the soil, levcling the sur.
face and smoothing it, SO as TO get the
land in the most perfect condition for
the seed After all this has been done,
and the furrow marks obliterated, the
seed is sown and the surface immedi.
ately rolled. If this is done in July
nothing more is required. If it is left
later, it will be desirable to SOW turnip
seed, at tho rate of one pound per are,
with the grass seed This affords pro
lection for the young grass and clover
in the Fall and Winter. We have
found it good plan to leave the tur-
nips or the ground and not gather
them. They will be killed by the frost,
and the leaves falling down, furnish
protection to the grass during the
Winter, and in the early Spring, when
so much damage is usually done by the
alternate thaws and frosts. The grass
will usually furnish one cutting the
next season, but it should not be pas.
tured, as the surface is not yet firm
enough nor the plants sufficiently well
rooted to stand such q tax.
