Our farmers should give attention
to the saving of hay the coming
season. 1t is readily saleable com

an illustration of the profit in it, Mr..
S. P. Smith, of LAGRANGE, sold S160
worth from three acres of meadow
land, and had enough left to feed
three horses and three cows until
the next haying time. Aundreds of
tons are suffered to grow and die
every year, and not sickle used to
harvest so valuable crop.
LUM NEAL, of Broomtown valley,
has proved in very satisfactory way
that there is money in other crops
besides cotton. Last year, after
cutting the clover off of piece of
ground about one half acre in extent,
decided to plant it in Irish potatoes.
He turned the land and planted the
potatoes aud when they had come
up sufficiently ''barred them off,"
About ten days later he Flowed out
the middles and was all the work
they had, except possibly a little
hoeing. In the early winter he
gathered the crop and housed 135
bushels OF good, sound potatoes.
These he has been selling at s1.00
per bushel. He is so we'll pleased
with the returns and the small
amount Of labor required, that he
will plant five acres this year.
