Light Absorbed by the Suns AtmOs.
phere,

Pickering and Strange have investigated
photometrically the amount of light absor-
bed by the SUMS atmosphere By means
ola pOrte-lunliere carrying a black mirror
and lens, an image of the sun 40 en-. in
diameter was thrown on screen go en-.
from the aperture. A circular hole was
cut in the screen, and behind this the pho
tometer disk was placed. By moving the
mirror any portion ofthe suns image could
be thrown on the photometer, and its light
measured. Ihe results are thus given /;
The probable error does not exceed one
per cent, except close to the edge. The
light at the edge is about o. that at the
centre. The variations in brightness are
nearly those which would be produced by q
homogeneous atmosphere whose height is
equal TO the suns radius, and its opacity
such that only twenty-siX per cent. of the
light is transmitted. There appears to be q
slightly different distribution of the light
along the polar from that along the equato-
rial diameter. If tho SUMS atmosphere
were removed, the brightness of the suns
disk would be uniform and 3S3 times that
of the centre of the disk at present. More
over, the total amount of light would be
increased AGA times.-Edit0r's Scientific

Buckwheat for Orchards.

For some reason, buckwheat, which is
not much of a crop itself, is found to be
Just the thing for growing in orchards.
The dense shade afforded by the plant keeps
the gronud light and friable, and this ten
dency is further increased by blowing I'M

year If the orchard is old, it is well not to
try TO grow the grain, but have success

ed under when in blossom.
Buckwheat is usually cheap, and needs
only half bushel per acre for seed. If al
lowed TO ripen crop occasionally, what is
accidentally scattered will furnish suffi-
cient seeding This is the cheapest mode
of keeping large orchards in good condi-
ton, as the grand requisite is TO keep the
soil, especially the surface soil, loose. Clio
yer Injuries the growth ofyoung trees, and
II requires two years TO get a crop ready to
pillow under.
Another advantage of buckwheat is, that
when rightly managed, it becomes an aid in
fighting the codling moth. 1.-THE trees are
kept smooth and no chance for a Judgment
of the worm on the body, many will hide

ground just before winter sets in destroys
the enemy, as il winters in the pupa state,
and can not live in contact with moist earth.
Where all the loose stuff, weeds and rub

thousands Of the cOdling moth are destroy

lowing season. This has been practically
tested by apple-growers Of the Grand
Traverse, Mich, region. who find buck
wheat the best crop to keep their orchards

The Louisville and Nashville Rail
road and the State Assessors.
Special Dispatch to the Courier-Journal.l

Special Dispatch to the Courier Journal
NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 15.-The
State Railroad Assessors have assessed
the forty-five miles of the Louisville
and Nashville railway in Tennessee at
$4,000 per mile. Their action awaits
the approval of the Governor. He has
already expressed his appreciation of
the assessment, and all that remains to
complete it is the single stroke of his
pen.
A letter has been received from Mr..
Russell Houston, attorney for the
road, in which he intimates TO the
Commissioners that if they determine
to assess the branches of the road the
Company will carry the matter into
the courts and there contest the right
of the State to assess them, claiming
that they are exempt from taxation
under the provisions of their charters
granted by the Legislature Of Ten
nessee.

Orchard Grass.

Col. B. +. Danley, one of the best farm
ers in Arkansas, says in a letter to the Lew
isburgStdte:
From my own observation and expert
ence am perfectly convinced that it has
no equal either for grazing on, or moving
for hay, but when sown for tn e latter pur-
pose it should always be mixed with red
clover. They both bloom at the same
time, and consequently are ready for now
ing at the same time. They will turn out a
larger crop Of hay per acre than any Of the
perennials sown in this country and the
hay possesses more nutriment than any
other grass.
1t must be borne in mind, however, that
for the production OF red clover, the land
should contain a small portion of lime in its
composition. This is not the case with the
orchard grass, it will grow very well on
the poor uplands, where there is a total alb
sence of lime. Add little lime, and sow
red clover with it, and any ofthe poor up
lands, not too sandy, will yield a fine crop
of hay, and afford abundant pasturage, all
through our mild winters, and in the
spring.
The advantage Of orchard grass over blue
grass, or any other grass known in this cOun-
try, is its rapid growth, its great durability,
and capacity to withstand the drought. II
should always be pastured close otherwise,
it will grow in tussocks.
1t will grow more in one day than blue
grass will grow in a week. Neither cold
nor heat iniure it in this climate. Our far
mers would hazard nothing, and derive
great benefit by its culture. Urge them &c

Fall Sowing of Grasses.

Farmers, do not forget to SOW grasses the
latter part of summer or early in the fall.
We speak of it now that you may make
your plans in time and be sure to have
your preparations completed when the Sea-
son arrives for putting the seed in the
ground August and September are the
best months for this purpose, and all such
forage plants as timothy, blue grass, ORCH
ard grass, clover, and indeed, all the per
ennials, do better when sown then than at
any other period of the year. They get q
good growth before frost and may be cut
next spring, but if sown in the spring a
whole year must elapse before they can be
cut Besides, fall-sown grasses are so ad-
yanced and well-rooted by the succeeding
hot season that they will stand it better than
if they had been sown only few months
before.
No crop will pay better than hay. There
is no reason to doubt that the grasses will
grow in this State, and we know that hay
sells we'll here. Timothy hay now com
mands from thirty to fourty dollars, and
prairie hay from fifteen to twenty dollars,
a ton. But whatever may not be sold can
be fed to stock, and they can be shipped or
driven to market. Good stock is always in
demand.
Timothy should be sown on the richest
of bottom land that is dry enough for
wheat in quantities of twelve pounds to
the acre. Cut when in full blossom.
Herds grass is suited to land which Is
wet. 1t will grow almost in running water,
and yields a better return on thin land than
any other cultivated grass, but of course,
the richer lands will produce better yields.
Herd grass and timothy make an eXcell-
ent mixture, being ready to cut at the same
time, and better tuan either grass alone. If
sown alone, a peck Of seed to the acre is
the right quantity. Mixed with timothy,
the quantities are about peck Of timothy
10 four quarts of Herd grass
Blue grass requires very rich soil make
it rich if not already so. Mix as follows
One bushel each Of orchard, meadow oat
and wild rye four quarts each of blue
grass, red and white clover. The blue
grass and white clover will finally take
possession of the ground, but, in the mean
time, the Others. will have fully recompens-
ed all labor and expense. These gras-
ses are chiefly valuable for winter pastur-
age.
Lucerne (o- Alfalfa should bs sown at
the rate OF ten pounds to the acre, in grourd
perfectly free from weeds. To insure this
the ground should have been cultivated in
some crop which has required clean cul-
ture. Sow broadcast if there are no weeds
or danger oftheir getting ahead of the Luz
cerne otherwise SOW in drills about twelve
inches apart, and cultivate with coulter
or very narrow scooter pillow. Do not
cover the seed very deeply; no covering Al
all Is necessary if sown just before or during
rain.-ArkaHSds Grange.

which the people are eally excited Is
that of preserving the school fund

A Sad Blow.

his choice language, was over in Louisiana
the other day on business, and stopping at a

" Yes, rain is the great desideratum" he
replied, as he handed the tin dipper back.
