Spring Oats.

The acreage sown in fall oats is
much less than usual The freezing
out of a large portion of the crop of
1886 by the hard freezes in January,
1887. had most discouraging effect,
which was augmented by the unfavor-
ably dry weather which prevailed in
some parts of the country during the
sowing season. The oat crop, how
ever, is too valuable. and in the long
run too reliable to be given up. Spring
sowing costs little more than the seed,
even if the crop fails from drouih; and
a good breadth-eight or ten acres at
least to each pillow run-should be
put in. In our iudgment--fonnded
upon experience and observation -
oats sown in February are much
less liable to injury by freezing
than if sown in January. Sowing in
the ''old twelve days" smacks more Of

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Pecan Culture.

Mr.. T., j. Lacy. the horticultural ed
itor Of the New Orleans Sugar BoaOt,
says much has been said and written
of late about the profit of pecan cult
ure, mostly by persons having no ex-
perience. either in growing tho trees
or gathering the nuts. He is not among
the number who can see the profits
of every business except the one en-
gagged in. and can not see the ex-
penses.
From the best information Mr.. Lacy
can get, not one seeding tree in five
will produce nuts like or even equal to
those planted. and all the others will
be so small they will not pay tor
gathering and shipping, consequently,
it will be necessary to plant five thou
sand trees to get one thousand good
ones.
Though pecan culture is not very
expensive, vet there is no good thing
without some trouble and expense.
He thinks pecan planting will pay if
properly prosecuted, but not by plant
ing Seeding pecans, wait twenty
years for them to bear. and then have
four-ffths of them prove worthless.
The trees should all be grated from
reliable bearing trees, of extra large
size, which will enable you to know
with certainty, as with other grated
fruits, what kind you have; they will
bear fruit in about half the time OF
seedlings. and the nuts will always
sell for high price.
Good grated pecan trees can b
bought for fifty cents. They should
be planted about Fifty feet apart
which allows about fifteen trees to
the acre. The land can be cultivated
in other crops, as if there wer'
no trees OH it. The same cultivation
that is proper for cotton is COOL fol
pecan trees. They can be cultivated
with the crop. and will bear muci
quicker for being we'll cultivated
Young trees should be protected from
stock during the winter.
We would add that it is now pref
ty generally believed that n pecar
tree trans-planted with the tap-roo
cut off. as they usually come from thu
nurseries, does not do so well as on
with tap root undisturbed. II this i
so. the disadvantage might be OBJ
waited by planting and starting seed
lings where the tree is to stand ant
then using them there as stocks
graft upon.

Freezing OF the Soil.

The philosophy of freezing 4 i.
portant in many ways to the farm
1t is readily understood why A.
banks of new fieecy snow do mai /

They are porous and admit euoa,
air to sustain life, and alss enou,,

stage. Gradually, however, the AMI
character of the bank changes N

Care of Brood Sows.

The brood sow must not be neglect
ed at any time, especially at this season
Of the year. The present month (Feb-
ruary) is the time to have the sow
take the boar for spring pigs. and it
is very necessary that they should be
in proper condition for coupling when
the time arrives. The main thing to
guard against is fat If you wish nice
filters of good quality pigs. have your
sows thin at the time they take the
boar. They will have larger
litters and the pigs will be
healthier. After they have been
served you can feed the sows
stronger food, but not too much corn
or feed that is of heating nature. as
they do much better on huddlings and
milk. and such light feed. After they
have been served turn them out into
the lot where they can have plenty of
exercise up 10 within two weeks of
narrowing. OF course they must have
q good shelter, where they will be dry
and warm. l have very often observed
my sows in the dead of winter, when
the ground was covered with snow,
take a walk around q four-acre lot,
and if they found spot where the
snow had blown off they would pick a
few mouthfuls of grass, and il
not prevented by a ring they
woald turn up little fresh
ground if not frozen too hard. This
fresh ground is very beneficial to
them, especially in winter If you
have several brood sows in the same
lot, provide two or even three troughs
and put feed in them all rs near the
same time as possible. Then the sows
can all get an equal show Under ne
consideration leave your boar will
sows after they get two months gone
especially so if he be an old one. fol
you can plainly see how he knocks
them around at feeding time, and il
more less apt TO hurt them.
Ihave heard it said that hogs fee
would not stand travelling on rougl
ice. but that is all nonsense, for win
tered ten large hogs in lot las

spring, and l expect to winter all m.

They will have good dry bed wher
they can go ut any time or roam
