cotton at present prices, and this is
why the farmer who makes his own
corn, oats, 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
supplies.
There is no better succession than
oats or wheat after cotton. Oats may
be sOwn before the cotton has been
harvested, as we have often suggested.
The unapprOpriated remainder of the
fertilizer applied to the cotton crop
will be eagerly consumed by the oats,
with the additional advantage to tho
land of the protection against washing
afforded by a growing winter crop Of
oats. According to the best experience,
there is no crop on which fertilizers
yield better results than crop of fall
sOwn oats.
OF course it is rather too early for
wheat, and nothing can be done in
the way of preparation whore 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 q good Touring
wheat, the crop is too uncertain as a
rule. There are localities and sec
tions, however, whore wheat is about
as certain q crop as anywhere in tho
country, and the sowingS should be
limited to such localities
September and October are the two
best months in which to SOW grass.
There are indications Of an increasing
disposition on the part of Southern
farmers to engage more in grass
culture. We do not advise farmer
who is without experience in the
culture of ''cultivated grasses" to 60
into the business too extensively at
first. Better 60 slowly, planting q few
acres only to each plow and adding q
little to the area annually as expo-
riencc determines the varieties and
other conditions that contribute most
certainly to success. AS we have
often said, it is useless to try to grow
the finer quality of grasses on our or
binary old uplands without good prep
aration and manuring. The ground
should be plowed and narrowed until
the soil is in fine tilth. The clay sub
soil should never be turned to the sur
face, except on rather light soils
where red clover is to be tried.
After getting the soil in proper
condition, the grass seeds may
be wetted with water and
as much ammoniated guano stirred
with them as may be desired to apply
as fertilizer This will greatly less
en- the labor of sowing both seed and
fertilizers, and both will be more uni
formly distributed. 1t is best to go
over the land two or three times when
sowing to insure perfect uniformity. 1t
is not necessary to lay off lands for
sowing with plow. We have found
it very convenient to have a man to
walk along putting block, a piece OF
pole, or an ordinary dog-block, to
mark off the Glands for sowing. Fol-
low with the seed and fertilizer, mixed
as suggested, and go over each land at
least twice, and in opposite directions.
If the ground has not been rained on
since the last narrowing, it need not
be narrowed or brushed the next rain
will cover them suf1iciently.-SOuthern

Mans Work La Never Done.

If man is good for any thing in this
world he will die leaving a large share Of
his planned and attempted work unfinished
Whether he dies carly or late, it will make
no difference at this point The more he
does, the more he will sec that needs doing,
and that he thinks he can have part in
If he should live a century. it would bo
still the same. Let no man, therefore,
worry over the fact that he may die before
he has finished the things he has in haLd
to do. II he should ever come to the point
where he has nothing more that he wants
to finish before he dies, he would already
have lived too longs. s. Times.

loffered.
REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS.
Atthe session Of. the Republican Cau-
Gus Committee last night the tariff bill
was subject of engrossing interest. II
was the understanding that if the COM
mittee was able to come to an agreement
upon the proposition made by Mills look
ing to vote on the tariff bill and the
substitute which he expects the Repub-
licans to offer, caucus should be called
to formally ratify its action. The con-
ference, however, revealed the fact that
there was considerable difference among
the members, not to much as to Mills
proposition as to the substitute bill to be
offered by the Republicans for the Mills
| bill.
From the tone OF the discussion, it APP
peared that the majority OF the members
might be brought to favor the inclusion
OF free sugar in any proposition that may
be advanced by them. The sugar bounty
idea also had some advocates. The com
mittee adjourned without issuing call
for caucus. but the members were in
structed TO request the State delegations
to hold conferences and try to agree
among themselves what they might re-
gard as the best line of action. When
this has been done the caucus committee
will endeavor to reconcile the various
propositions submitted by the State dele
cations and adopt settled policy in the
treatment OF the matter.
