Grasses.

''For grazing it is said, the COM

closely fed down. If it is suffered
to run mp, it forms a hard seed
stem, and stock will not cat it,
This is the way some farmers in
Georgia and other poor land
States put the question Of grasses.
We do not have to resort to such
\eOarse stuff for food for our stock,
Ind if, as they say, which we do

Burmuda grass has it's draw
backs, and one great one il the
antipathy to it on account of it's
spreading and the impoSsibility
to kill it when once started; we
say unfOundcd because nothing is
more easily managed than Bur-
muda, and it can be gotten rid of
by work rs well as Crab or other
grasses. Col. Lane, of Georgia,
says, that on upland it can be dis
troyed in two years BY close cul.

plowings to get the sod thorough.

ing should be done with a small
pillow first, and harrow run
through it once or twice, all in
the Winter or early Spring. Pea
vines, or any thing that shades
the land will soon destroy it.
But why destroy it? We are
fully satisfied that there is not an
acre of laed in this parish which
isthorougmy set in Burmuda grass
that is not worth more than any
thing else that can be grown upon
it.
The only objection we have ever
heard to it as a hay, was from
city feed stables, whose proprie.
tors think it too expensive be-
cause stock will eat more of 1t thar
aay other. To a farmer this is a
satisfactory recommendation, for
he that wishes to thrive and does
thrive, wants his stock we'll fed,
and to eat us much as they can.
AS a tattening grass, We are in.

Adulteration Of Seeds.

Of the many new ways in which
science has come to he applied to
agriculture, one Of tho most useful is
the investigation of seeds. In 1869
DR.. Noble, director of the agricultu-
raj experiment stationed at Tharaud.
III Saxony, commenced tho study of
seeds in common use in German, and
founded the first ''secd-control sta.
ton" During the seven years over
1900 samples of seeds have been ex-
amined at Tharand; adultcration
have been discovered that work by
no means iuconsiderable injury to the
agriculture of the country; and some
twenty seed control stations have
been established in Germany. while
Others have been either founded or
projected in Denmark, Austria, Hun
gary, Holland, Belgium aud Italy.
Among the authorizations found are
old seeds that have lost their power
of terminating, seeds of either use
less or obnoxious plants, sometimes
killed and sometimes fresh, and even
pieces Of quartz rock, ground, sifted,
and colored to initiate genuine seeds.

"The Home journal objects to the
wearing of diamonds when travelling,
because it is vulgar. 1t is a position
which We assumed years ago, and we
are glad to say shat no one connected
with this paper has ever been guilty

The Precious Metals Or She South.
 West.

No little attention has been given to the matter of the precious metals in that portion of our country acquired from Mexico by the treaty Of 1S4S. IL Is well known, however, that mineral deposits of equal value and extent ex- isl all through the contiguous north ern slaies of Mexico, from he borders of Texas 10 ihe Pacific ocean.
 The following briefstatement offacts and figures is complied from public records and from the writings and re- ports of such authorities as Blake, Ward and Baron Humboldt, and other men and sources of unimpeachable veracity:
 The colnage of Mexico from the year l52l to 1S04 was $2,027. .9j2,O ,O00 For the period from lS04 10 1SlS, $7SG,94i,- 0J1. From the last named period, which was the date of cessiOn to the United S,ates, down to 1868, $400,00O, 900. From 1868 to 1875, period of only seven years, $l62, ,O00O0O.
 Now let Us glance at the gold and silver products Of the states and terri tories acquired from Mexico by the aforesaid treaty, as worked out by Uni ted States capital and enterprise, from the time of ceSSiOn, 1S4S, down to 1875:
 California, Sl,O20 126,2j3.
 Of Nevada for the same period, $244.5S0.00 .000.
 Of New Mexico and Arizona, $l2,- 962 GOO.
 Of Utah, $l5,335,085.
 Southern aud western Colorado and Texas, $22. .20S,23S.
 Thus, then, we find there has, during the period referred lo, been taken from the mInes, m, stly of northern MeXIco, lying on both sides of the 32d parallel, total of gold and silver amounting tO the enormous sum of $5,6lO, ,3O2, ,43j. Of this amount it is found that fully five-siXths of all the gold and silver mined throughout the United States since lS4S, was taken from the mines included in the cession from Mexico.
 In the year 1873, the total product of silver of the whole world was S16,2j0,- coo, of which the great southwest yield ed $50, 100000, or about twO-ihirdS of all the silver of Ihe entire globe.
 Since 1875, as is well known, min ing operations have gone on in an in creased ratio; but it should be borne in mind that the above results have been obtained under the greatest diff ticulties-want of transportation forI men and machinery, protection against Indians anI marauding outlaws for there was, even at laJe date, scarcelyl a railway within thousand miles of any considerable mine If, under all these disadvantages, such magnificent results have been developed, what mayI We not expect from that wonderful re zion when it shall be supplied with the means of cheap and rapid steam transportation y-Copp's Land Owner.
