Fall Cats and Whoat.

The September Southern CttItiudtor
saws: The unusually 2, Cd cat crop of the
mast season will doub less induce the SOW
ing Of larger area than usual IN oats. The
vacillating policy that has marked the his
tory of oat-raislng in the south, ought to
Give way to a settled conviction, one way or
the other, that the oat crop should be q sta
ple crop of the south, the chief reliance for
rations for work stock, or that it is too I'M
certain a crop for such reliance. The corn
crop and the cat crop, the one planted in the
spring, the ether in the fall, dovetail to-
gether in a remarkable manner when prop
orly considered and managed. Soy we
commence a system now: Sow in Septem-
her and October not less than six acres Of
oats to the plow, on good or well fortified
land If sown early. the odds of the
chances are in favor of their standing the
winter and making good yield, enough to
almost feed the mules year, estimating a
Weld of not less than twenty five bushels
per acre. At all events, by complaining
time next March and April, we will be able
to estimate the yield Of tho fallsown oat
crop pretty closely. If the prospect is good
for heavy yield, we may reduce the area
in corn correspondingly; If the prospect is
bad, plant more corn. SO likewie in the
fall, as now, we know what the yield of the
corn will be, and may enlarge or decrease
the area in oats accordingly. In this way
the two crops are complementary to each
other We think, as a rule, our farmers cut
700 closely in Their calculations and the re-
suit is generally "too tight a fit in the
matter of supplies Every farmer ought to
make it his aim t. produce a surplus of
every one of the leading crops he grows.
Always have a little CON to sell, a good
many choice seed oats, potatoes, beef, pork,
butter, etc, to spare. There is more money
in these crops than in making cotton at
present prices, and this is why the farmer
who makes his own corn, cats, bacon, hay,
etc., and does not rely on the west for any
thing that he can grow on his own farm,
makes more money and less debts than the
farmer WHO buys large portion of his sup
plies.
There is no better succession than oats or
wheat after cotton. Oats may be sown be-
fore the cotton has been harvested, as we
remainder of the fertilizer applied TO the
cotton crop viii be eagerly consumed by
the oats, with the additional advantage to
the land of the protection against washing
afforded by a growing winter crop of oats.
According to the lest experience, there is
no crop on which fertilizers yield better re-
suits than q croo of fall-sown oats.
OF course It is rather too early for wheat,
and nothing can be done in the way of
preparation where cotton land is to be sown.
We do not urge upon the southern farmers
generally to sow wheat. In the absence of
a variety that is reliably rust-proof and at
the same time good Touring wheat, the
crop is too uncertain as q rule. There are
localities and sections, however, where
wheat is about as certain a crop as any
where in the country, and the sowings
should be limited to such localities.

Farm and Stock Notea

The supreme court of Georgia has de-
cided that the obstruction of private way
is private nuisance for the abatement Of
which the magisGracv of the district has
jurisdiction, though the ordinary may also
have concurrent jurisdiction. 1t is also held
by the same court that horse swap is COM
plete when the terms of exchange have been
finally settled, and each party has relin-
pushed possession of one of the animals
and acquired possession of the other. For
one of the parties afterward, without con-
sent of the other, to resume possession of his
former property is simply tort, and does
not reinvest him with title.
The Marietta (Ga.) Journal GALES atten-
ton to a very important matter In stating
that people generally, when they pay off a
mortgage, put the papers in their pockets
and go home without taking the trouble to
go to the clerks Office and have them can
celed. This neglect often causes mischief
and impairs the credit of those who are SO
negligent. 1t is not the business of the
merchant or money-lender to have the
mortgages Cancelled, and unless the person
taking up the mortgage attends to it him
self, it is kept on the country records, a
warning to all mon that the property is
bound for debt. 1t is the best plan to have
all mortgages Cancelled as soon as they are
paid off,
