Sowing Grass Seed.

Now is the accepted timen to .ow

through the month Of October aeoo.s

In the northern part of our terri,or,
September is the best month if wealth.,
conditions are favorable. October w,l,
be time enough for the middle reoion
and any time during November ns
cember and February, as the inter.
tropics are approached. The object
should be to sow long enough before
severe winter freezes to enable NJ
young grass to take good hold unon
the soil to reach that stage at and aitar

grass would be most likely to succeed
IN the hands of an inexperienced farm
er, and on the greatest variety Of
soils. To these, on more select soils
and for special uses, may be added red
clover, white clover, Bluegrass, red
top, Johnson's and Lueerne For
pasture quite number of different
species of grass mixed and sown to-
gether gives the best results, not only
because of the doctrine of natural g.
lection and the survival OF the fittest.
but because also the tax on the soil IS
really not so severe as in the case Of
only one species occupying the land;
and for the additional reason that the
taste and appetite of the different ami.
mails is gratifed and stimulated BY va
riety in the heritage provided
In our humble opinion, just as car-
tainly as that ''all flesh is grass, the
future agricultural prosperity of this
South land will largely depend upon
the substitution of a system of which
grass and stock husbandry shall be a
very prominent feature. It is so in oil
old and prosperous agricultural coun.
tries, and must be so in ours. But We
will not press the argument; now Is
the time for action. Get ready, buy
the seed and SOW grass. We would
not advise every farmer to go at once
into grass culture on large scale,
without having had any experience on
the subject The cost of seed will
prevent a very extensive
venture into it by farmer who has
not realized to some extent the value
of grass when cultivated. It is best
to ''go slow" in inaugurating so radi-
cal change as the substitution Of one
system of husbandry for another.
There is much to learn that can bs
learned only by actual experience.
But every farmer should gain this ex-
perience as soon as possible, ana be
prepared to broaden his pastures and
meadows in the near future. a good
beginning may be made by learning
the value of barley, rye and oats az
winter pasture grasses. the latter as
merely incidental to its coming crop
OF grain. There is absolutely no bet
ter grass for winter pasture than bar
ley or rye, for one winter alone the
only drawback being its short life as
an annual. Dixie Farmer.

coNVIOTS' CREDITS.
Judge Armstrong; Construction CT tho
Celebrated Goodwin Act.
Wadleigh Must Stay.

Charles Wadleish, State Prison con-
Vict, was before Judge Armstrong yester-
day on habeas corpus. He claimed that
he should have besn allowed certain credits
for good conduct while in prison, which
would have by this time entitled him to his
liberty. He had not been allowed any
credits, however, and Judge Armstrong,
after hearing the facts recited, denied the
petition.
The case was intended to set at rest any
doubts entertained as 30 the right of CON
vlct TO discharge sooner than the expiYa-
ton OF the term for which sentenced, by
ress3n OF earned credits or time deduc-
tons
The Court held that the Act allowing
credits is G recommendation 10 the Gov
ernor to pardon, bat does not itself work
the discharge Of convicts who earns credits
for good behavior. These credits must be
reported to the Executive, however. The
Act is not general, does not apply to all
prisoners, because of the constitutional
provision that one sent up for q second
time for felony cannot be psrdoned By the
Governor, except upon Recommendation of
majority of the Justices of the Supreme
Court

There is not only no reason for this state of

last night to 3 coed audience II is a prob
able, clean, well put together drama of
sustained interest and presented by capable

really necessary is the suggestion that Mr..
Harrison Is too effortfui Just q little af-
fected in manner anu reads in too melo-
dramatic key. But the company is a
good one throughout Noteworthy men
ton is due Mr.. Harrison for his ability as
a playwright; of Mr.. Ward for his Irish

DIPHTHERIA ABROAD.
Reasons Why the Best Sanitary Condi-
tons Should be Preserved.


tons Should be Preserved.
Two deaths of children from diphtheria
occurred yesterday. This is sufficient to
show that the dread disease is abroad. and
should cause parents TO exercise the great
est care and watchfulness over their little
ones. Their Threats should be examined
daily, and medical aid summoned at the first
indication of anything being wrong there
with. Moreover, every possible precau-
ton should be taken against any unsani-
tary condition OF Yards outhouses, etc.
1t IS true that few localities are at
any time entirely flee from sporadic
cases of diphtheria, still every possible
safeguard should be taken TO prevent the
spread OF SO highly contagious and obsti-
nate disease, which becomes epidemic on
the slightest proyocqtion. There are many
ways OF fighting off even so malignant an
enemy as diphtheria, and all should be on
the alert to keep il down.
In Philadelphia and other Eastern com
muuities, when death from dipbtheria
occurs the body Of me victim is immedi-
alely placed In a Theoretically sealed cas-
ket, and even then the funeral is as private
as that OF q person who dies from small
pox. Although there is no law here on the
subject, common sense should establish
and uphold similar custom The doctors
all realize the necessity for observing the
utnost care in cases of this kind and the
State Board of Health has repeatedly
caused 10 be published minute directions
for the treatment of diphtS aria patients
and how to secure, TO the greatest possible
extent, the safety of others from contagion.
II is matter that 40 parent and no COM
munity can afford to treat lightly.

The Hop Outlook.

Emmett Wells Weekly Hop circ1sar says,
under date Of July 9th:
Since our last report the market has suf-
fered decline of from one to three cents
per pound ali round. This was to be ex-
pectsd under the present favorable condi-
tons OF the growing crops both here and
abroad, aud as 16 to 20 cents-the former
for Pacifics, the latter for States--is already
talked Of IS the probable opening price for
new hops, it would be unreasonable to ex-
pect hops year old TO bring as much as
new ones in September. But the reported
improvement IN the English and German
crops no doubt has had more TO do with
bringing about the present depressed con-
dition OF this market than any reports from
our home districts, for everybody knows
that good crop in England means less e1-
porting from America; and, as our produc-
ton largely exceeds orr home consump-
ton, there is but one conclusion to reach,
$. e., that we must have low prices. This
view of the situation, be it understood, is
based upon the present outlook for the
crop.
