cut the first crop. II you can ma |
nure the land plant oats about the
first Of October. or as soon there
after as possible and you can get
oats that will come off about the
first of May and then put on more {
'nonr3n and SOW it down in cow
3eas, Cut of the first crop just
before the peas are ripe fer hay
and -you will havo a seaonll crop
to blow under to fertIlize he land.
You can turn your horses, mrs ses,
hogs and other stock Oh it just be-
fore and after frost. Some con-
tend that it is best to plow the pea
vines under green, others say that
it is best to let them die and plow
them under early i'll the spring,
[ think it depends on the nature
Of the soil. If heavy, ploW under
green, if light and sandy, ploT !
under i'll the spring.
Now, you will say thatyou have
no pastures, nothing green III the
summer. All you have to do Is to
make your land rich and plant
teosintee about two and one half
feet between the rows and about
eighteen inches in the rows and
leave two stalks in the hill and
then let it succor all it will, but
do not let it joint, and cut it when
about three feet high. Use what
you want green the day you cut 1t,
and if you cut any one day more
than you want to feed green, or II
you are planting more than you
can use green, it Will make the
best of fodder. When fed to
COWS it will make excellent milk
) and butter. 1t is good for horses,
mules, sheep and all other stock.
l And plant red top sugar cane.
: some early and some later, so that
YOU can cut it green during the
summer after the seed are formed
and feed it to your horses, mules
: COWS, hogs and cattle and cure the
rest for winter. It Will not do t(
I tell me that you cannot use 1t TO
II IL that purpose, for if you do [ vii
tell you what a person told q MAJ
- who argued very learnedly that /
> steamship could not cross the At
u lantic, Mister, it IS no use to tai!
. such talk to me for steamship
. from New York has already enter
- ., ed the port at Liverpool, - or wha
II Vance told the little drill n1aste
when Vance had ordered his regl
IL 1nent to come from present to OF
> der arms, who rushed up to hi1
II very much excited and looking u
,. into his face with greatest amaze
ment and astonishment exclaimed
IL Colonel, Colonel, that canno
y be done. You must always com
u to shoulder before you can com
W from one position to another l
i' the manual of arms. There is u
;" such command in the militar
IL tactics" "Well, by G., :whetl
~ er it can be done or not, you Sc
20 the regiment has done it. :" So
IL say to you I have seen horse
- mules, hogs and cattle fed on it j
Tennessee. They feed cattle on
nc that weigh from 400 to 1000 lbs
-, and sell in gross from fifty /
y, eighty dollars per head. Cattle
W. fine that they are shipped to En-
u land, and they raise from fiftee
~ to twenty tons per acre. But th
N amout can only be raised on vel
~ rich land. And what can be dol
, LII by her daughter, Tennessee, cs
nO be done by her mother, North Ca
1u 7, olina. Of course you must
liz careful and not feed too much
=, first, and do not suppose tn
:, you could feed much of it green
n0 working stock.
Let's raise all we can at home
- eat, and if what we can raise
" not exactly what we want let
IL eat it and be satisfied and thai
~ God that it is no. worse. And
i, ,l'' absolutely necessary let us ma
'n0 all of our own clothes and sho
