SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL



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 iield-on the stalks-after 1t Is dry
enough to keep well 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 a job Of diminishing 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 of the blades scarcely
hastens the drying. Naturally, the
ears Of corn are ripe before the 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, 1t 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 frop the barn or
''crib. We practice& 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
rain, or permitting 1t 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 'fn the shuck"
with salt water, and interspersing
plentifully the leaves Of either black i
walnut or China, is more or less
effective protection. Southern Gull

WIT AND WISDOM.

Might does not always make right;
but it seldom gets left.-Puck.
People who slander themselves
can not expect other people to extol
them. Albuquerque Citizen.
"A man may consider himself much
better than his neighbor, but he can not
prove it to that neighbor's satisfaction.
Troy Press.
1t is not putting things in the right
place that bothers man so much as
finding the right place after he has put
things in it.

lone pound of learning requires ten
pounds OF common sense to apply it.
This is the reason why so many men
with but limited education outstrip
thousands of our college graduates in
the race for life.
Charity does not require OF us that
we should not see the faults of others.
but that we should avoid all needless
and voluntary observance of them, and
that we should not be blind to their
good qualities when we are so sharp
sighted to their bad ones. -Fenelon.
Distinguish between doing right
in order to help others-as when one
lights beacon in order to guide the
sailor; and doing right in order to be
praised by others-as when one stands
in full blaze of a chandelier in order to
display his own jewelry.- Boardman.
The wheel of life whirls around,
and we with it, expecting that the mo-
tion will some day slacken, and that
then life may be ordered anew and
omissions may be made good. But real
wisdom consists in seizing the flying
moment, and in pressing upon it the
seal OF the eternal and the enduring;
that is the great course OF moral en-
deavor under which life receives its
due form, like the block OF marble un-
der the hand Of the sculptor. Baron
Bunsen.
Let us stop teaching our boys that

to be killed outright by q severe frost
We have already suggested tho
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
er, 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. Johnson's and Lucerne. For a
pasture quite a number OF different
species of grass mixed and sown to-
gether gives the best results, not only
because of the doctrine of natural se-
lection and the survival of the fittest.
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 tns
taste and appetite Of the different ami.
mails is gratiied and stimulated BY va
riety in the herbage 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 system of which
grass and stock husbandry shall be a
very prominent feature. It 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 a large scale,
without having had any experience on
the subject. The cost OF seed will
generally prevent very extensive
venture into it by a farmer who has
not realized to some extent the value
of grass when cultivated. It Is best
to ''go slow" in inaugurating so radi-
cal change as the substitution of one
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
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 as
an annual. Dixie Farmer
