Sowing Grass Seed.

Permanent meadows have been of
late years much dispensed with, and
the fields in rotation have been sub
stituted to furnish hay We think it
better system. The tobacco or corn
ground is better prepared for the grain,
so that a good set of grass for hay may
be secured
Timothy and all the grasses can be
Gown this month among the standing
corn, or with rye If the clover fails
il can be resown next spring. The
other grasses are likely to take better
in the fall than when sown in the
spring. If meadow is intended to
be sown for hay, the land ought to be
fertile, and have an abundance of lime
and potash IN the soil. or supplied
The ground well pulverized and light
sow one peck or more of timothy seed
and roll. If mixed grasses are pre-
ferred. We should sow orchard, clover
and Italian rye grass, as they mature
nearly at the same time. Timothy
should be by itself in meadow.
In sowing grass seed for pasture, we
strongly recommend the sowing of
more seeds per acre than is the present
practice with farmers The grass seeds
are so sparingly used that weeds spring
up and choke them. 1t has been sup
ported by reasonable arguments from
Intelligent observers that weeds ex-
haust the land than more usetul grass
es, while the latter are meat producing,
aud the meat, while being produced,
returns as much or more than its pro-
duction cost. A grass and hay farm
must be nessarily a profitable institu-
ton, if the amount Of stock kept be
well and wisely adjusted to the size and
the capabilities of the same. We
know no more profitable investment
than that of we'll ordered and well
managed dairy farm near good sized
city. The butter. the milk, the hay
and extra vegetables, etc, beside the
annually increasing productiveDess
and consequent increased value of the
land would return large interest on
the iuvestment.-Mdryland Farmer.

THE election in Louisiana, Nov. 2,
is to be for State Treasurer, Legisla-

ture will elect United States Senator
vice kellogg colored man Pinchback,
to whom kellogg, when handing him
his credentials, is said to have re-
marked Pinch, if you're no Senator
| am no Governor. The United
States Senate has declared Pinchback
to be " no Senator" The New Or
leans Picayune of late date says:
Whatever may be the fate of the
present usurpation, it is of great con-
Germ to our people to have an honest
and capable State Treasurer, members
of the legislature, parish. and munic-
ipal officers. We have little hope of
achieving such results if the honest
citizens fail to have themselves regis
tered. They should not be deferred
by the notorious frauds and illegalities
which, it is believed, have been prac-
ticed by the partisan and irresponsible
Registrars.

4 MYSTERY which needs exploring,

slowly around the curve and thus allow
ing the tianges of the wheels to bite"
the outer rail and clinch it. in which
they are materially assisted by sand and
dirt deposited upon the rails by wagons
passing over the crossing at that point.
One engineer on the road always passes
that point at tho rate Of about twenty
miles an hour, and he never meets with

the great Landslide occurred on American
