Interpwted iu matters properly beloUKtua to this de
partment. Thin Seeding Successful.
Eds. Country Gentleman, The
reading of W. H. White's experiment
of sowing only five pecks of wheat to
seed an acre of land, recalls to mind my
own views and experiments In relation
to the quantity of seed nece99ary to sow
of the various kinds of grain. My ex
perleuce has been mostly with oats, yet
I think that the same results wquld be
obtained In raising other grains. The
practice of farmers In this vicinity has
been to sow about three bushelf of seed
oats on an acre, and many years I fol
lowed this practice ; but when seeding
down to grass with this quantity I
found It very difficult to get a good catch
and growth of gra,ss. Iu order to give
the grass a better chance to grow, I be
gan to sow less grain, and for years past
I have sowed only one bushel of seed to
the acre when I seeded down with oats
and I find this quantity to be sufficient
on my land as I fit it to seed down.
When a large quantity of grain Is sown,
it comes up and grows so much faster
than the grass that the latter has but a
6lim chance to get a good start and foot
hold in the spring, which it needs In or
der to live and grow through the season ;
but if the grain is sown thin the grass
gets such a good start as will carry it
along till the grain is harvested. The
difference in the quantity of straw
which is produced by thick or thin seed
ing is much less than many people sup
pose, for when the grain is thickly sown
the plants do not tiller as much, nor do
the stalks grow as large as with a thin
seeding, and consequently the grain is
less liable to lodge, and a9 a general rule
I think the heads grow much larger and
fill better than with a thick seeding.
This season I sowed three pecks of oats
on three-quarters of an acre of land,
and after they were harvested there were
CO Btocks, of 10 bundles each, on the
field, much of the straw measuring four
feet in heighr before it wa9 cut, and
some plants that 1 pulled up had from
six to eight stalks from a plant.

A Cotton Gin.
Very few persons at the North have
ever seen a cotton gin, and those who
have not, of course, have very vague
ideas about its construction or its work.
A cotton-gin machine is not as bulky
as an ordinary fanning mill. It is called
a "saw gin" because circular saws',
about a foot across, are set upon a
wooden cylinder, perhaps half or three
fourths of an inch apart. For largest
sized gins, the cylinder is five feet long.
The saws run between steel grates set iu
the back of the feeding-hopper, bo that
the teeth reach just beyond the bars and
catch the fibres, which adhere strongly
to the seed, and pull them through the
openings between the grate-bars, leav
ing the seed behind. The lint is cleared
from the teeth by revolving brushes,and
is either blown by a fan through a spout
to the lint room, or else by an improved
process, is fanned into large vats, which
can be taken up and put one after an
other into a pile to form the bale. A
large gin, run by about six-male power,
two hundred and fifty revolutions a
minute, will gin one hundred and fifty
pounds of lint in an hour. Sometimes
carelessness or design sends a friction
match through the gin. Then there is
a flash, and an end of that year's
work.
To Boil Oatmeal.
For the coarser oatmeals use one quart
of meal to five quarts of soft water. Al
ways measure them, then you may be
sure to have the same consistence. Boil
it smartly until it is evenly diffused
through the water; then let it boil slow
ly for half an hour, and lastly, let it
simmer. Two hours even is not too long.
If you have not time to cook it so long
soak it beforehand and stir it in, when
the cold water is heating. After this
stirring it needs no more. The slim!
ness we often see is caused by constant
stirring. Do not let it burn or scorch
The best way is to boil it in a double ket
tle, or in a tin pall set in a kettle of boil
ing water. Salt it as It bolls. Serve it
- warm or cold as you prefer. With the
i fine oatmeal the coarse is much the same
only they require much stirring while
settling and 'while more meal may be
added. An hour of boiling may be suf
ficient, but no amount of soaking will
make the finer meals equal to the coars
er kinds in flavor. .
t2T Silverware may be kept brlghtand
clean by coating the articles warmed,
with a solution of collodion diluted with
alcohol.
