The Races.

Years back horse-racing in this section
meant something more than jockeying, and
gentlemen of refinement found pleasure in
the recreation, for the sport embraced fair
play and real merit. The reputation of our
Metairie Course stood high in every portion
OF our country, especially because races and
time OF the best character had been made
on it. Visitors from almost every State
gladly came here during the races, either to
participate or to stake their money OH trials
of speed, concerning the details of which
they had 10 anxiety, believing that very few
or no tricks would be practiced, the general
estimate being that the business was con
dncted in proper manner.
1t would seem that much Of this has
changed, if We may Judge by the slim at
tendance and dissatisfied air of those gen-
tlemen who attended meetings Of recent
date. After sort of shoo-fy display, some
poor nass We're started on the course last
Saturday, to race in the most hackneyed
style, before an immense concOurse which
must have numbered at least two hundred
people, certainly not three hundred. II
there was a man on the ground who did
not know the winning horse before the
steeds We're brought out, then the fault rested
with him, as every newsboy on the street
Friday was aware that Kildare must win
Bets of one hundred dollars to five. with no
takers, We're not indicative of a great
contest. People fully aware of how race
is to end will not excite themselves
into fever over the result. But that was
one OF the most trifing items which served
to prevent visitors participating. Conf
dence in the management seems to have
evaporated, and consequently the more re-
fined and better class of citizens have lost in
terest in racing as carried on in this city at
present. The programme of the club for
the autumn meeting, although fair on its
face, has succeeded in bringing hither only a
limited number oflovers of turf amusements.
In fact, jockeys and regular sporting men are
hardly aware that this is racing week. This
being the case, there is no disputing the fact
that racing mensand admirers of fast horse
flesh regard the glory of the Metairie Course
as departel

|. RULES for gathering seeds among the
standing grain-Having selected the choice
and bright heads of grain, pluck and suspend
them In dry place till the next seeding time,
then shell and wash the seed put into water,
when the heavy kernels will sink, and the
light will rise to the surface, and may be
SKINNED off and cast away.
:. In the twelfth month, place the seed in a
large, earthen vessel, fill it with pure water of
melted snow, and cover the same with earth.
When the seed has sprouted, sow broadcast,
or IN drills thus you will avoid the breeding
Of worms
g. To determine whether the coming year
will be good or bad. take one measure Of seed
in the beginning of the winter season, and
measure it carefully then place 1t in an earthen
vessel, and put it in dark place, and leave
1t for fifty days; then measure again. Ifthen
1t fills the measure fuller than before the sea-
son will be good If less than before, the sea-
son will be bad
1. Treatment OF new land.-First, burn the
grass, lin order to destroy both the seeds and
roots of grass and weeds,) plow, then sow to
Sssamun. Gan oily grain), for one year. This is
for the purpose OF destroying more thoroughly
the roots of the wild grass.
). In the neighbOrhood of good flowers and
good grain Sesah,um must not be planted, for
it will destroy their roots also. The process
by which it does this, is, by the dew or rain
falling upon it, running down the leaves and
stalks. thus carrying poison with it into the
ground, to affect the roots Of whatever plant
it may come In contact with
6. Seeds of flowers and fruits must, in like
manner, be selected from the best trees, and
those which bear the finest fruits and flowers,
and which are free from all disease Let
these seeds be carefully c!eansed, dried,
and stored in glass bottles or secure vessels,
and laid up high from the ground IN dry pla-
ces SO as to avoid damp and mold They
should be accurately labelled and dated, so
as TO avoid the mixing Of fruits and flowers,
and also, so rs to avoid the liability of plant
Ing seed which is more than year old.
: In planting seeds of flowers and fruits,
let there be no fear of too high ground, nor
fear OF too much hoeing and spading. But
observe the season for planting which is pre-
scrlbcd IN the approved treatises on the sub
ject. In planting put the fruit stones into the
ground the right side up. Some seeds need
to be soaked before planting--some not. In
sowing seed, observe that some, which are
large, will bear q considerable depth of earth,
while sinai! seeds must not be buried deep.
They may be covered with mixture Of ashes
and earth, 50 as to kill the worms. After the
sprouts have appeared, some may be watered,
and some not YOU must discriminate. Ii,
after three or five days, there is no rain, they
must be artiticially watered-but with discre.

The W heat Crop Of 1870.

From the official report of the Department
ofAgriculture, dated Washington June II, we
extract the following:
"Freezing.out" has not been general or
very serious in its results. The winter was
mild, and comparatively uniform, during the
earlier months especially. February and
March, the most critical period Tor injury by
freezing, were stormy and cool, with tar more
of snow than the preceding months, atfording
protection against the seasons changes. In
view of the general mildness and openness of
the winter, from which severe winter killing
might naturally be expected, exemption Is
striking. In many instances this exemption
is evidently due the use of the drill, which
plants the grain more deeply ano uniform
than the brush or harrow used in broadcast
sowing. Abundant testimony has this spring
been furnished to prove that the rhedt drin Is
onauolly rorth millions to .heagriculturc ~ this
countrv Draining has also been u means OF
preventing loss by freezing. Whenever win
ter.killing has occurred it has been in isola-
ted patches, not throughout whole counties or
broad belts Of country; it has been due more
to condition ofsoil than to extreme or frequent
changes OF temperature it has been seen IN
stiff Soils in hollows where water stands on
the surface, in halfpulverzed soils and in fields
where the seed was scattered upon the surface.
Very few good farmers have occasion this
spring to complain Of the effects OF frost. yet
there has been some loss, considerable in the
aggregate, as there is each year, but scarcely
as much a. the year will average.
Among the great grain fields of the West
the severest injury from grain-killing was in
Illinois. Here, - elsewhere, early drilled
wheat on carefully prepared, dry or drained
soils, escaped injury.

PROGREsS IN THE FAR WEST.
Growth and Prosperity OF the Town o
Lincoln, the Capital OF Nebraska,

IL
Gincoln, the Capital OF Sebraska,
We copy the following from the Nebraska
Statesmen, of the twelfth ultimo, which will
give some idea as to the progress being
made in that section. Would that we could
chronicle al equal prosperity in our State:
1t is with feelings Of pride that we advert
TO the rapid growth and marked prosperity
of our city, the young Capital OF the Giant
State OF the prairies.
The history of the West, though full OF
interest to the men OF enterprise, as afford
ing in the rapid growth OF liz towns and
cities, examples unparalleled IL history, mas
not hitherto given the world such an KAN
pie of energy and enterprise as does Lincoln,
the pital of Nebraska.
Only about two years since, this was one
vast prairie, The progress OF ClVlilzatlon,
IN its onward, western march, had driven
the original propretorS further toward the
the setting sun. and thus nature was LETT I'M
molested to yield up her bounfies to- the
energetic efforts OF progressive Amellcanlsm
And within these two years, from this
houseless prairie, has grown city OF near
1900 inhabitants with State capital build
ings. which would be an honor 10 any place,
ard private dwellings, and business houses
Of elegant design and architectural finish,
which argues more (present and prospec-
| tive) for the prosperity of the place than
any other one thing, as every first class
| building which is erected adds to the
| value of every part of ground within the
| limits of the municipality.
| And among the many enterprises which
are going forward in this city, bespeaklng
| the energy and enterprise OF our citizens,
we deem the establishment of the manu-
| .acture Of the ''Frear Artificial stone az
OF the greatest Importance and value 10 the
| future growth Of the place.
| The Frear stone works were started mere
| about one year since, aud the success OF the
| enterprise is manifest by the elegant dWeIl;
ing erected for his Excellency, Governor
| Butter, OF which the entire front and side Is
! built of ashlars and the entire trimmings OF
| the building, such as beautifully wrought
| window and door caps and siils, water table,
etc also, the entire cut-stone trimmings as
| above, in the brick dwellings Of the Hon.
| Secretary of State, kennard, and Hon
Auditor OF State, Gillespl..
| These dwellings were all erected last au
| tumr. and are of Character that would &c
credit to any city. The Frear stone is found
| to stand the action Of the weather perfectly
and to answer all the purposes tor Whlc0
the best building stone is used, while at the
I! same time it can be manufacturer az &C
| much less cost than cut stone can be FUR
uisned as to bring it within the means Of
AL. and thus give an architectural adorn'
| ment to our city. Even the elegant brown
stone fronts on Fifth avenue, New YORK. DC
not excel in beauty and durability tht
"Frear Stone" which it so closely re-
! caIr1 l1las
