Seeding to Grass in the Fall.

THE common practice of farmers in
the North is to seed in the spring, in
connection with spring wheat, barley,
or oats. We recently visited farmer
who has practiced seeding in the fall for
many years. He followed spring seed
ing, and found that the grass seed made
a small, poor growth, under the oats,
and the roots did not get strong enough
in the growth after the oats were re-
moved, to carry them well through the
winter. He now seeds with rye, using
about hundred bushels of ashes to the
acre where he lays down for meadow.
Hisrotation is somewhat peculiar, and
prepares the way for the remarkable
success of his meadows, which last eight
years, giving good crops of grass. In a
ten-acre meadow under this treatment
in its second year in grass, there were
at least two tons of hay to the acre. He
begins with the corn crop, applying to it
all the manure upon the farm. Corr
occupies the ground for one or two
years, according to the condition of the
land. If rich, mellow, and clean
enough to suit his standard, the corn is
followed by oats without manure. These
are usually very heavy, both in straw and
seed. Rye is the third crop in the rota-
ton, taking all the ashes. At the cost
of twenty cents bushel at the wharf,
he finds these the best fertilizer for his
soil he has ever used. They last for
eight years, giving good crops of grass
without blowing, and the effects are
seen for six years longer in the subse-
uuent rotation. With the manuring
practiced upon his farm, we have no
doubt fall has the advantage over spring
seeding. american Agrlcsaturist.

When to Feed Corn for Fattening

THIS question has beer asked and
answered many times with varying re-
suits, according to the breed, the care
and attention, and shelter, time of year J.
etc. Store hogs in healthy condition
and of good breed should lay on pound
of additional weight for every five and
six-tenths pounds Of merchantable corn

age, with reasonable care. When they
do not do it we think there lis a. defect
somewhere.

experience we have verified, be true, one
bushel of corn-a part meal and fed as
slop, and part, all the animal will eat,

ly-should make ten pounds addition to
the weight. Ten bushels of corn will
then represent 100 pounds in pork.
The following conclusion is then
reached: Itpays, when corn is worth
thirty cents per bushel, to convert it in
to pork when it sells for So per 200
pounds, as the manure will abundantly
pay for the care when properly saved.
So when corn is forty cents, pork
should sell at 81 per 100 pounds : corn

Fattening is accomplished most prof

the COiored Refugees.

The colored people continue to flock
into Kansas in great numbers, and al q
consequences they arssubjected to great
destitution and suffering. Many Of them
are hat poorly clad, ard many Of them
have persisted by the wayside from cold
and hunger, and others have had their
hands and feet frozen. IL il uIfOrtu-
nate indeed that so many fan lies have
been impellsd to leave the South for a
more rigorous climate, when they were
80 poorly provided with the means to
procure the necessariss Of life. Beside
they have been subjected to shameless
exactions on their journey. The South
ern railroad officials charge colored peo-
pie $50 and white people els for travel
ling the same distance, and colored
children $25. 1t is unfortunate indeed
that so many people SHOULD leave their
homes at any season in the year, much
less in the winter, but the exodus can
not be controlled, and it is estimated
that the fleeing multitude will reach
100000 the coming season. Thsre is a
vast field for benevolence, and the per
sons having anything to contribute
would do well to forward the same at
the earliest opportunity. The cruelty
that has been practiced upon the color
ed people at the South is given as a
reason for this vast emigration.
Laura S. Haviland, in stating what
she saw and heard in Kansas, gives a |
number of ineidsnts Of cruelty obtained
from the fleeing refugees, and says |
"The query naturally arises, Why is
this stampede ? Why is this unlocked
for emigration Go 10 those thousand
and listen to the increasing oppression
practical upon them-the most barbar.
Gus murders committed so frequently
that intelligent colored men in many
localities know not as they retire at
night but they may be called out Of
their beds and hang or shot ere the
dawn of another day. And here the
answer is found. Here yon will ex-

TIE Co EDUCATIoE OF THE SExKs.-At
the meeting of the Board of Education
last evening, the resolution offered
some tins ago providing for the co.sdu-
catisn Of the sexes in the high school,
was called up by Lindley c. Kent, the
member from the Third ward. He
urged its passage on the ground that
there are several vacant seats in the
boys department while the girls de-
partment is inadequate to meet the de-
msnd upon it. The resolution was op
posed by DR.. Grimshsw and therefore
it was laid over until the next meeting.
A cimilar proposition has boen intro
due ID at various times in the past few
years, but through the opposition of
certain members it has been invariably
defeated. Economy and sound policy
seem to require different result ct tho
present time. 1t is unwise to keen
seats vacant in the school, when girls
are ready and desirious 10 occupy them.
The co-eduoation of the sexes has
been tried at Delaware College in our
State, at Oberlin, Ohio, and various
other places, where it has been found
20 work satisfactorily, AID conseq uent-
ly there is no good reason why our city
should prove an exception to the rule.
Indeed its e1pediency is only uousted
by those who have never given il a
trial. We believe the Superintendent
and teachers of school No. favor il and
we cannot see any good reason to orpose
the proposition at this tine. Let it be
tried and ii it does not prove 81 tisfac-
tory it can be abando led at a days

s,mpa,n,,p,s with Rebellion.

No per on, other than knaye OF a
fool, will deny that the Democrats Of
this State, with few honorable excep-
tons, sympathizsd with the rebels who
|inaugurstsd the rebellion in 1850, in
or Ter to subvert this government, Mr..
Bayard and his adherents generally
prayed for the success Of the rebel cause
and motives OF policy alone prevented
the passage of sc session ordinance by
the Legislature and armed Intervention
on their part. They rejoissd over rebel
triumphs and mourn ed over rebel de-
teats. They contributed neither men
or money 10 uphold tie government.
In fact money was expended to keep
men out Of the army. This was the
main purpose Of the bill passed for the
relief of citizens who happened to he
lrsfted. Had the same amount ofrnon-
sy, ,aised under this bill, been experd-
cd to put men into the army the quota
Of this State could have been filed With
out a draft. The peace meeting at Do
YER was real rebel gathering, and Il 9
hurrahs for JEFF. Davis were quite fIe.
q lent. Bayard'sspts9h as we'll as Willie
lsy's smacked Of treason and there was
not word uttered by any one of the
speakers in favor OF sustaining the Gov
srrment. Lincoln was denounced as a
tyrant and the Union troops as hire
lings. Greater evidences of disloyalty
and opposition to the Government and
those who urheld it, could not have
been found in any Southern State. TIE
influence was such that several young
men went south and entered the rebel
army, while others passed months in
Canada in order to avoid the draft. |
The Republican Denounced the eviden-
ces of treason as they transpired, and
used its efforts 10 csunteract their in
fusnce.
The Delaware "Gazstte" took the
opposite course, and at one time de-
clared 10 SLIDER from the North should

On more than ore occasion this matter
was alludsd to by that paper, and
Northern men oluntesrips togo South
we're oooIly informed that they would
be welcomed to hes pitabls graves. We
are heartily glad that the time has
,ome when treason has become odious,
and men are ashamed to admit their
sympathy with it. Their denial how

Fho know them, and it is fortunate Tor ,
aem that downright lying is not as
ummarily punished as in memorable
ase which is often quoted for the edit, v

In conclusion We would say that We
an readily understand how good men
iffer in regard to questions Of policy,
ut we cannot understand how good
