The Louisville Journal Of yesterday com
plains bitterly of the policy Of the banks
there. II says:
We find that we have been deceived, and
have been deceivng our readers in regard to
discounts by the banks since the present ter
rble pressure commenced. We have been
told day after day, that from s 10 900 to $780,
900 had been discounted" on the discount
days Of the various banks, and, 10 our YER
dency, We supposed that those discounts ware
paid out in bank notes in aid Of the business
Of the community. Wo find, however, this
is all moonshine delusion and snare
These discounts are oil simply in renewals,
and hardly dollar in bank notes has been
4 paid out, and scarcely dollar OF business,
excep, in re ewals, has been done. And
that, wbiNue supposed the commerce Of the
city ~ 1Ag sustained, the banks were day
by day hour by hour reducing their bust.

be done, and that they would be better able

tanning specie payments than by suspending.
/ Now the fact is, and il 10 wellfor oil to know
1 it, that when either Of the banks obtain one

once put their note under lock and key, nev.

commercial article Of the n. Y. Tribune of
the 22nd has avery favorable item in regard
to the prospect Of raising money for the
shipment Of Western produce. 1t saws:
The resolution Of the bunks to discount
literally produce bills sent here by interior
banks has been received with great satisfac-
ton, as Indicative Of disposition to do all
in their power to assist in the transportation
Of the crops to the seaboard, and so strength
en- the hands Of our merchants by enabling
the interior to pay its debts to New York
Many of the banks will discount much more
than was agreed on as their quota at the
meeting yesterday. Ii is to be hoped that
the interior banks will follow this example
to the extent of their ability.

FRosr.--The first frost Of the season was
visible yesterday morning, exactly twcsty-
nine days later than the FIRST frost 10 the Fall
Of 1886, which appeared on tho 18th Of Sep
TENDER.
With very slight exceptions, all Of the
corn in this section is beyond the danger Of
injury from frost, most farmers having al
ready cut and shocked their crops. Our
Indian Summer is yet to come, SO that we

CT Colonel Benton is so far recovered
that he is engaged 10 the completion of his
Review Of the Opinions Of the bred Scott

be his last book, and, considering that it
is directed against the ultra principles pro-
mulgated by Calhoun, against which Colonel
Benton has been warning for near score Of

of his pen.

HINTS FOR TIE FARMERS. If the following
are worth place in your paper, they arc at
your service
Swelngs in oxen, cows and other domes-
tic animals, may be easily " scattered" by
using an embrocation composed Of the follow
ing ingredients
One quart proof whiskey, one half pound
soft soap, and half an ounce of camphor.--
The soap must be dissolved in the whiskey or
other proof spirit, and the camphor added af-
ter the mixture is poured into the bottle
These articles, prepared in the manner above
prescribed, form a liquid opodeldoc, with
which every farmer should be supplied Lame
oxen, from swellings on the legs and neck, is
quite frequent, especially at seasons when
their assistance is most needed by the farmer
and when, consequently, he can but i'll afford
10 allow of their lying still
Old bones make an excellent ingredient in
the compost heap. Break them up as fine as
practicable, and place them in a Tub with sui
phuric acid and they will speedily be dissolved.
Pour the saturated liquid on the compost heap
and the acid will perform good service in 'fx-
ing" the ammonia, and the bones in furnishing
pabuium TO your vegetable crops

Hay Making.

Cut your hay at the right time Philosophy
and practice seldom agree Whenin the right
time is the question for solution Our neigh
bor-one Of them-cut his hay week in adj
yace of most of his brother farmcrs-cnt il
very soon after the seed had commenced to
form. frequently before the bloom had disap-
peared-cured it in the sun partially-not al
together. No one had better hay. His crop
was secured before any of it had became wood.
Dry sticks, and the fragrant, we'll cured hay
in his barns, were not analogous. Another
neghbor waited until others were done, that
he might obtain help at cheaper rates Two
weeks after other had finished his I" last day
of having came. There was another gain,
he sal !, by this course. The grass was ripper
and made faSter-more was accomplished in
"a day-hence, it did not cost near the amount
to do his having that it did other people
Of course not, but his complaint WAS, when
winter came, My hay does not spend well.
My cattle eat heartily, ,bnt do not thrive as they
should. Neighbor A. does not feed his cattle
rs well do mine, yet they are in far better
flesh"
The hay, sir the hay makes the difference
Gut it at the right timc-just before the seed
is matured-bcfore woody matter prcdomn
ates in the stalk. Some suppose the woody
matter is useless as an article of nourishment
but it is not indgestible, though inso!nble in
water The age of the grass alone docs not
govern the amount of nutrtivc matter when
made into hay but soil, climate and season
modify its value greatly. We would prefer
to cut it in bloom, (Or portion of the crop
rather than let it remain to she'll its seed
There are chemical considerations which enter
into these directions. There is no doubt but
there is more of the element of nutrition il
grass at the time of Towering, but it is qucs
tion if such nutrition remain in greater quan
tity after the process Of curing, when such
process is commenced before, or soon after
the seed commences to form. This is an oper
question. The quicker your hay is made and
secured after it has reached the proper state the
better The cutting Of the first hay CROP
ought not to extend beyond three weeks.
We think the value Of the grass crop alter
it is made into hay, depends as much on the
manner of curing as on the time of cutting
The whole crop may be spoiled in curing, nc
matter when cut The following practical
directions are given from experience
Cut in the morning. If the grass is heavy
or green and damp, stir out. Let it wilt

DESTROY YoUR WEEDs.-lt is curious sight
10 sec farmers fighting weeds all through Sprug
and summer, and then letting all that escape
60 to seed and spread their mischief though
out the fall
Look at any Of our corn-feds or potato
patches in September, and 10 what choice
assortment Of pig-wecdS. beggar's lice, and
other of the weed tribe, faunt their seed-pods
to the breeze, ready for any amount Of mis-
chief in the spring.
Even our gardens, wherein, if anywhere, an
ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure,
are usually left to mature a wilderness of weeds
every season, and not bIsw struck to remedy
the matter, when blow would be worth stri-
king
1t is true, some very prudent proprietor
may an hour or two spend in pulling up dock
or burdockS, but instead of cxterminating them
by fire and faggot, he throws them into the
highway, where hoof and wheel thresh them
out. aud the first wind or rain is sure to scat
ter them broadcast over all the region and
so next year he has all his work to do over
again.
Now, We ;old that no good farmer or gar
dener will ever let a weed 60 to seed upon his
domain. Have them out hoe them out
out with them at any cost The barn-yard
and muck heap will be GLAD of them and
when secured green, they are worth their
weight in any kind of manure, hardly except
ing guano. But when the seeds, are ripe
then nothing but fire should be their portion.
There is an old story of race of beings
who were doomed as a punishment, to pour
water in a seive till it should be full
Let each farmer see to it, that the sevc
through which daily meal comes has no tares
