but there are roads, or parts Of roads, where
1t win be impossible to carry il out, mainly
on account OF want Of proper tools to work

that have no tools except the plow, the hoe,

FALL OATS.

We listened with interest ut, and l hope
the Alliances were profted by, the remarks
of our worthy brother, Hon. j. r. Jeferies,
at Union, last Wednesday on the sowing Of
fell oats. Oats sown in August and Sep
tember are almost sure crop. l have
farmed for 13 years, and have never failed
to make fine oats on oats sowu before the
middle of October. A few years ago, on
about 2 acres of old field, where had cut
crop of Spring oats, concluded to have the
stubble turned under. In September hired
two boys and gave them their dinner and
fifty cents each to plow the stubble in
thinking it would benefit the land. Early
in the spring perceived tolerably good
stand of volunteer oats, partly covered in
the weeds and grass, and concluded to let
them remain; and from those two acres,
thrashed 65 bushels of fine heavy oats,
which cost only 81 SO to plow and
cut. Then, last year, know q farmer who,
while he was having about third Of an acre
of turnips plowed in in September, drilled
with his haud two rows of oats between
| each row of turnips, and he reaped for his
few minutes work Ia bushels of very fine
oats.
There is very little danger Of oats being
winter killed if sowed early in the fall, Of
the roots will have time to be we'll attached
to the ground, and the grass that will grow
before frost Will greatly protect them from
the cold
BY all meaus, Brethren, sow largely o
fall oats, and they will have time to fully
mature, will improve and not impovcrish
the land, Ike those sowed in tho spring.
Also SOW patch of rye on good land in
this month, anu next April you will have a
forage that your work stock will like aud
| will save corn.

News from Bogansville.

EprroR OF TIMES. You may suppose that
West Springs and Bogansvile, by reason OF
long silence, are dead or asleep, but neither
is the case hard work aud wide-awake
vigilance have characterized the season Of
silence.
And now that the work of the crop is
finished, the eound of the pick and shovel
ring out on many q branch, and golden
harvest, more or less abundant, is being
daily renped by many of our people. No
township in this country opens grander
or more remun erative field as reward for
industry.
The general appearance of the cotton
crop is unusually fine, but no definite con-
clusion can be arrived at especially at this
time as to what will be the final result of
the yield. But this much is evident; the
farmers have handsomely acquitted them
selves in the cultivation of their crops, and
it is to be hoped that kind Providence
will amply reward them for the labor of
their hands.
The upland corn, of which there is but
tom land, the principal crop, is seriously
damaged. ---
The vegetable crop is both abundant,
aud of superior quality.
Best of oil, the cultivation of the heart
has not been neglected; but many souls on
every hand, have been brought from dark
ness to light, and are now joyfully "walk-
ing before the Lord in the land Of the
living" May they continue to "scll all
that they have" and buy that pearl of great
price.
The health Of the township is generally
good. The Mineral Spring is still place
Of wonderful resort by the community, es-
pecially on beautiful Sabbath evening
Upon the whole, we have every reason to
be thank full TO an Allwise Providence, that
our lives have thus fallen together in such
pleasant places, and that we are the happy
recipients Of 80 many blessings, both tenn
poral and spiritual from the Giver Of every
good and perfect gift. Then let us join in
praises.
To Him who rules all things,
From whom each blessing springs
Who feeds the hungry poor,
From His exhaustless store,
Who rides upon the clcud
Who frowns upon the proud.
All glory to His name,
Who is above all fame,
Now, forever, the same;
Ill glorious His name. w. NJ. F.
