Sowing Grass seed in the Fall.

Grass seed should be sown in the fall. be-
cause il is the natural time, and as much
so as winter rye or wheat. By turning un-
der the stubble of your grain crops to pre-
pare for sowing grass seed, you give your
grass seed clean possession of the land. II
sown with grain in the spring, the tender
grass plants are crowded. above and below
ground-by grain and weeds above. and
their roots below-and for three months
have hard struggle for life in the shade.
Can it surprise any one that, after such ex-
posture and trial. his crops of grass, on
which his hopes of good crop are strongly
based, should prove short and thin?

How to select Flour.

First, look at the color; if it is white, with
a slightly yellowish or straw colored tint.
buy it. If it is very white, with blush
cast. or with black specks in it, refuse it.
Second. examine its adhesiveness; wet and
knead it between your fingers; if it works
soft and sticky. it is poor. Third, throw
lump of dry flour against dry, smooth,
perpendicular surface; if i, falls like powder,
it is bad. Fourth, squeeze some of the flour
in your hand; if it retains the shape given
by the pressure, that too, is good sign
Flour that will stand all these tests it is safe
to buy. These modes are given by old
flour dealers, and they pertain to matter
that concerns everybody, namely, the staff
of life

How to treat Nervous Horses.

A correspondent of the Scientific Ameri-
can gives this advice concerning nervous
horses: Whenever horsemen notice their
horse directing his ears to any point what
ever, or indicating the slightest disposition
10 become afraid, let them, instead of pulling
the rein, to bring the horse towards the OBJ
!ect causing its nervousness, pull it on the
other side. This will instantly direct the
attention of the horse from the object which
is exciting It's suspicion, and in ninety nine
cases out of one hundred, the horse will pay
no more attention to the object, from which
he will if forcibly driven to it, by pulling
the wrong rein.

Hemp.

We saw yesterday on the streets two loads
OF hemp raised in Jefferson county. 1t was
as good quality as that raised in Missouri.
The price paid here is S4O@S6o per ton.
We learn that Mr. H. S Newman. formerly
of Lexington, No., is buying all he can get;
his office is with G. r. Morehead & Co.,
on the levee. He has purchased some three
hundred tons, which he is prepared to ship
to St. Louis. Most sold here is raised in
Missouri. There is no reason-unless it is
the lack of labor-why the farmers of Kan
sas cannot raise large quantities of it next
year. The probability is that the price paid
will be large, as the Government is build
ing many Ships. and IN many hemp-growing
regions the war has devastated the country,
and there will be but little raised.
The last ST. Louis quotations are: Good

the seeds may be fed to poultry, and as
they contain large quantity of oil, they

OUR NEW ARIsTOCRACY.

Suddenly a new order of grandees has
sprung up among US. It's members, like
Douglas Jerrold's banknote- man, seem to be
made of money. They purchase brown
stone palaces and cram them with splendid
trumpery, set up gorgeous equipsges, and
at once amaze the heads and rejoice the
hearts of watering place landlords with their
lavish expenditures. Their wives aud daugh.
ters are luminous with diamonds, and lead
ing dealers in costly Injuries declare that
the patronage of this new aristocracy more
than compensates them for the fslling-off in
their general custom, occasioned by the
war. During the summer. Saratoga, New

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES. = The Demo
cratic, conservative and anti radical jour
nails have just now great deal to say about
their victories. The main difference be-
tween the victories won by them and their
political opponents is, that their opponents
have gone South and won, while they have
stayed at home and won. Another differ
ence is, that while Democratic victories
have been won at the North, they are really
triumphs for the South; while the victories
of their opponents, although won in the
South, are successes for the North. One
kind was won at the ballot box-the other
with the cartridge box. except in Iowa.
where the Union boys took hand at both
boxes, and. of course, were victorious all
around.-Mo. Democrat.
