Oats After Oats.

Oats are, as every farmer knows. a
hard crop on land. they are more diff
ficult to seed with than other grain, be-
cause they grow dense shade, and re-
main unharvested one to three weeks
later than other small grains, wheat or
barley. Oats are often also sown on
land that is too wet, cold or poor to grow
other grain. On account of this difficult
ty of seeding with them, oat crops are
rather more apt to be sown in success.
sion than any other crops. When a field
gets into this state, the farmer should
make an effort to get it out of it. Piow
the land after the oats are off and SOW it
with rye. twill make some fall growth,
even though drowned out in winter, and
be to some extent protection for the
surface soil. If the land is dry, the rye
growth plowed in spring will furnish
some vegetable matter that will materi-
ally help the oat crop if sown next sea-
son, and perhaps secure fair catch of
clover.

Rive for Ensilapn.


O. B. Potter, of New York City, writes
in the Husbandman an interesting let
ter about rye Tor ensilage. He finds
the chief difficulty with rye is that if
cut early, as it should be to be of good
flavor, it is too wet and needs an alb
sorbent. For this purpose he recon-
mends dried clover cut fine, and mixed
so that the whole mass will be equally
moist. Then it can be compacted, and
will be easily preserved if properly
covered. Mr.. Potter finds that rye cut
for ensilage is an excellent preparation
in seeding to grass. The cutting is done
in May, just when the young rye needs
sun and air to make strong growth.
By leaving the first joint next the
ground uncut new growth springs up,
from which he has often harvested one
half to two-thirds of a crop of grain,
with proportionate straw. which is ex-
cellent for bedding. To seed timothy
with rye for ensilage is the best method
of securing certain and strong stand
of grass, and without loss OF the use of
the land while it was growing.

Winter Pears.

The fact that winter pears are scarce
Is by some thought certain proof that
they are hard to grow. This IS neither
necessarily, nor is it actually the TACT.
There is much lamentable popular ig-
norance as to the means to ripen and
perfect winter pears. Is gathered in
the fall, they are hard, sour, worthless
specimens, and seemingly not valuable
enough TO warrant any care in preserv-
ing them. We doubt not that many
winter pears are grown by those who
do not know how to handle them, and
are made no use of whatever. Let such
people visit the fruit cellars OF any sue
cessful winter pear grower, and they
will soon acquire an enthusiasm on this
subject which will not stop until they
have grown at least enough for home
use. There ought to be better winter
market for pears. The wealthy have
learned the value Of this fruit, but it is
only by introducing it to all classes that
a demand can be created that will not
easily be glutted. The time OF ripening
of winter pears, unlike that of summer
fruit, can be fastened or delayed. and
thus extended.over long period.

Keep Young stock Growing.

Improperly fed and kept warm in win
ter, young animals gain more from the
same feed than they will at any later
period of their existence. The neces-
sity for good feeding must therefore be
apparent. For the young stock, if not
fed or cared for as it should be, becomes
stunted, and under this condition there
is scarcely anything more vexatious and
disheartening. The cause of stnnted
growth is usually impaired digestion,
though this is followed 10y, and often
confounded with, attacks OF scurvy In
pigs, lice in calves or colts, or ticks on
lambs, all of which are serious evils.
They generally proceed from the one
source of insufficient nutrition.
We use this word nutrition rath-
er than feeding advisedly. There
may be enough or too much fed,
but it does not digest. 1t is only the
food that digests which does an animal
any good. When digestion is ruined
easily the animal never RECEIVERS to what
it might have been. Starving and sur
feiting are equally injurious. 1t is just
these extremes that the careful farmer
avoids as be onging to the wild state.
No wild animal produces as much gain
in flesh as one under intelligent and
painstaking human care. The wild ami
NAL gets its food as best it may, and in
ATTITUDES where cold winters prevail it
is reasonably sure to become pinched
and stunted the first winter. 1t is quite
likely that If the buffalo is domesticated
and given food and shelter winters, it
will attain larger size than the buffalo
that formerly ran wild over our West
ern Standardization CalltiUdtor.

ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 1S-Never perhaps
in her history, not even when democracy
raised first her down-trodden head from the
ashes of war, not when President Cleve-
lands election fulfilled the southern hope,
has Atlanta witnessed such a demonstra-
tion in honor of political event as that
which is being conducted tonight. This
dispatch is written amid the exultant
shouts of the multitude, the firing of
rockets and the blowing Of horns, while
sreeches are being delivered a block away
to an audience of 10000, and the heavy
conclusion of artillery shakes the windows
till they seem about to fall to fragments.
Gen. John B. Gordon has been elected
senator. His triumph has been sweeping
and the people are wild.
FLoCKlNG TO THE CAPITOL.
Very early this morning people began
pouring into the capitol. They soon filled
the galleries to oyerflowing and swarmed
over into the corridors. Reports of shrewd
tactics contemplated or attempted by Gen.
Gordon's opponents caused a feeling OF
anxiety 1t was whispered that
Mr.. Huff of Bibb had been telegraphed
forbidding the use of ex-Attorney General
Anderson's name as a senatorial candidate
to draw off votes from Gen. Gordon. and it
was stated that Gordon member had been
carried out of town to testify in a county
court. These and other rumors of kindred
nature gave rise to snch excitement that q
test vote in the House resulting in Gen.
Gordon's favor hardly restored the public
/ confidence.

great game. Ga the vote alluded to, Gov
a Gordons friends managed to keep the hour
agreed to for the ballot to begin in the House
