Why was asked.
Because Anderson always kept the

there was never a more quiet prisoner

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
fhe Corn Harvest.


In the southern part Of the cotton
region the close of September should
find. all the corn gathered and stored
away. There is absolutely nothing
gained by letting the crop remain in
the field-on the stalks-after it is dry
enough to keep we'll in bulk in the
shuck. Our peculiar custom of gath
ering and storing the ears only, ena-
bles us to do the work at once and in
few days. Our own rule was to COM
mence about the 10th of September
and make job of it-fnishing before
suspending. The main crop of corn is
usually ready to gather-dry enough
to keep perfectly-in about five
or six weeks after the fodder
was pulled, or would have been pulled
under the prevailing Southern custom.
The stripping off the blades scarcely
hastens the drying. Naturally, the
ears OF corn are ripe before tho blades
have commenced to die; and the proc
ess of drying goes on in the cob and
grain, regardless of the presence or
absence of the blades. On level and
gently-rolling land-indeed wherever
wagon may be driven along the rows
with facility, it will generally be found
a more expeditions plan to drive the
wagon and team along the middle row
OF a set of four to six rows of corn
Zone row to each handy and thus
gather the crop by breaking the
ears and throwing them directly
into the wagon, all hands going
with the wagon to unload. Of course
1t is not recommended where the field
is long distance from the barn or
"crib." We practiced the plan for
many years with great satisfaction.
The only enemy that preys on we'll
locked Southern corn crib is the corn
weevil. Gathering the corn when the
shucks are wet or Immediately after II
rain, or permitting it to rain on the
mass of corn in store before putting on
a roof, are generally believed to lessen
the depredations of this insect pest
We believe the sprinkling OF success
sive layers OF corn "in the shuck"
with salt water, and interspersing
plentifully the leaves of either black
walnut or China, is a more or less
effective protection. Southern Gull

Some Hints About Potatoes.

Potatoes at no time should be al
lowed to lie exposed to the sun. III
thev must be cured this should be
done in the shade, or the quality will
be impaired. And If potatoes are dug
at this time and are piled up they are
almost certain to heat and rot and
often considerably more are damaged
In this way than If they are left in the
Ground until the weather is cooler.
II, however, they are dug and spread
mr. thin in the shade for few days
until they are thoroughly dried out or
cured, and are then put into lot or
Mace where there can be good venti-
lation, the loss by rotting can be made
very small. They should be laid out
very thin at first and then at no time
he more than six inches deep until
cooler weather sets in. They must DO
kept dry and placed where good cir
culation of air can be given. A good
plan is to put into crib or loft that
viii not be missed until they can be
taken up and stored, either in the pit
Grin the cellar, to be used as wanted

Sowing Grass Seed.

Now is the accepted time" to SOW
seeds of cultivated grasses, extending
through the month of October. accord
ing to latitude.
In the northern part of our territory,
September is the best month If weather
conditions are favorable. October will
be time enough for the middle region,
and any time during November, De-
cember and February, as the inter-
tropics are approached. The object
should be to SOW long enough before
severe winter freezes to enable the
young grass to take good hold upon
the soil to reach that stage at and after
which frost will not affect it. Some
species of grass and other forage
plants Qucerne and clover. for in
stance) are more tender in the seed
Leaf stage than others, and are liable
to be killed outright by severe frost.
We have already suggested the
grasses that will be most likely to
succeed in the cotton region, and the
directions for sowing. Orchard grass,
oat grass, Rescue grass and Bermuda
grass would be most likely to succeed
in the hands of an inexperienced farm
err, and on the greatest variety of
soils. TO these, on more select soils
and for special uses, may be added red
clover, white clover, Bluegrass. red
top, Johnsons and Lucerne. For "a
pasture quite number of different
species of grass mixed and sown to-
gether gives the best results, not only
because of the doctrine of natural Sc
lection and the survival of the fttest,
but because also the tax on the soil is
really not so severe as in the case of
only one species occupying the land;
and for the additional reason that the
taste and appetite of the different ami.
mails is gratified and stimulated by va
riety in the heritage provided.
In our humble opinion, just as GER
tainly as that ''all flesh is grass" the
future agricultural prosperity of this
South land will largely depend upon
the substitution of n system of which
grass and stock husbandry shall be a
very prominent featuie. 1t is so in all
old and prosperous agricultural coun-
tries, and must be so in ours. But we
will not press the argument; now is
the time for action. Get ready, buy
the seed and SOW grass, We would
not advise every farmer to go at once
into grass culture on large scale,
without having had any experience on
the subject. The cost of seed will
generally prevent II very extensive
venture into it by q farmer who has
not realized to some extent the value
of grass when cultivated. 1t is best
to ''go slow" in inaugurating so radi-
cal change as the substitution OF ono
system of husbandry for another.
There is much to learn that can be
learned only by actual experience.
But every farmer should gain this ex-
perience as soon as possible, and be
prepared to broaden his pastures and
meadows in the near future A good
beginning may be made by learning
the value of barley, rye and oats as
winter pasture grasses, the latter as
merely incidental to its coming crop
of grain. There is absolutely no bet
ter grass for winter pasture than bar
ley or rye, for one winter alone, the
only drawback being its short life us
an annual. Dixie Farmer.
