AGRICULTURAL. SEXDI.NO LAND TO GRASS. —Probably nine-tenths of the farmers of the Untted States sow all their grass seed in the spring, and usually can give no better reason tli&n that they have always done so, and their fathers before them. Many of them do not know that any other season will answer for seeding. On the majority ot farms, in this latitude, August and September are better thah spring, as a crop of oay may be obtained the following season, whether the grass seed be sown alone, or with wheat or rye. i have sown grass seed witn wheat in early September, ou land not subject to heaving, and taken a good crop of each the following season. Clover seed will neces sarily have to be sown in the spring, as the young plants are liable to wiuier-kill. Where the frost heaves the ground in win ter or spring, after seeding with or without grain, it pays to roll the whole field with a heavy roller, first sowiug the clover seed. If the plants stand firm and well the smooth lug harrow may be substituted for the rol ler. The roller, or harrow, should be used as early in spring as the surface becomes dry enough to crumble, lu many cases it is good policy io sow grass seed alone. For instance, one has a "run out" meadow, and wishing to keep it in grass, can plow down the sod as early in spring as possible to work it well, apply a good surface dres sing of manure, harrowing it in well, mak ing a fine seed bed, and ou this sow the varieties of grass and clover seed desired. Usually a fair crop ot hay may lie made from the land the same season, and a bet ter one the season followiug, Lands may thus be seeded in early tall to good advan tage. For iust&nce, take any sward land that hardly pays the expense of mowing it, and piow it in August and treat it as above, sowing it immediately to grasses, including clover, which will become well rooted before winter sets in, aud a good crop of hay may be reasonably expected the text season. Any other laud than sward may be thus seeded, if doue in Au gust (provided it be sufflciehtly fertile), and produce a good crop of Lav the follow ing season. GRAIN SHEDS. —it would save a good many dollars in the end to those of our wheat growers who have not barns if th> y would build cheap sheds IU which to ttack their grain. The kisses the past fall ou ac couut of ruined wheat stacks have been more than enough to build sheds for the whole grain crop of the Hlate, A good model for such structures we recently saw on the farm of Mr. C. Le Yescoute of Has tings. The poets were sixteen feet in height, and set fifteen feet apart. The length of the sheds was perhaps thirty feet. Over the top was a cheap board ro >f. Tliw wheat was stacked pcrjiendicuiarly up to the eaves, instead of an incline, as is neces sary in a stack in the open field, vtid con sequently it was impressible for the rain to drive into it. For posts Mr. L. had taken small trees, while for boards for roof he had used some which had come out of au old building. The estimate cost of such a shed with new boards is placed at f I per acre. Under four of these buildings he had stacked eigh y acres of wheat which was as dry as wtieu cut. Of coirse ou the praine it would be impossible to secure Tecs for posts, in which case sawed limber would be necessary. Four inch square scantling would be sufficient and would last a good many years if the end which went into the ground were charred. Such a shed would not need much scientific work 3n it, and could be constructed in a day by any fanner with a little help from his boy or hired man. In threshmg, the straw might be stacked up against the sides and ends, and the shed converted into a stable, under which the stock might find sbtlter in the day time, if not at night. Later on it would be a handy place to leave the seeder or plow, or whatever farm implement was drawn in from the fit Ids after the day's work was done. They are certainly good tilings in every way, and from their cheap ness ought to have a place on every farm w here there is no barn. THE department of agnculture repoits that returns up to tlie Ist show a decrease in the cotton crop of 33 per cent in Louisi ana, 40 pier cent in Texas, nearly 60 per cent in Arkansas, and 30 per cent in Worth Carolina. In South Corolina, Georgia and Mississippi the crop will be not much below that of last year. Florida reports a de crease of 15 per cent; Alabama an increase of 13; Tennessee adt crease of 42. Tlie average yield of wheat for 1881 is 101 bushels per acie against 13 1-10 in 2880, a decrease of about 20 per cent, or 100 000- 000 bushels. The falling off is in the in terior, caused by the severe winter, late, cold spring, drought aDd insect ravages. Tne qualny of the reduced crop is gener ally good. The average yield per acre of com is 20$ bushels, 25 per cent less than in 1880, caused by drouth during the grow ing season, excessive ram during harvest, ami the chinch bug. The quality is below the average. In Wisconsin and 31inncsota, however, there is a decided increase over last year's yield. MAKING CUTTER. We hope every far mer who has cows that give milk, will make all the butter they possibly can. It is said that butter making begins at the stable let it end there. The fact is, butter is so high in our markets at this time, and prob ably will be all winter, that there is no one thing the larmer can turn an honest penny this late fall and early winter, so readily as making butter. As the cows will soon, if not already, be in the stables let it be remembered that the "stalls must be clean and the animals kept neat; even the air of the stables must be iree from foul odors. When milk is once contaminated, and it is a wondeiful active absorbent of gases, noth ing can be done to make it perfectly pure again. More butter is spoiled "at the pail," thau during any other process through which the milk and butter pass. The ud der is not properiy cleaosed or the hands of the milker are foul, and in many ways the nulk receives that which ever after re mains to contaminate. AMERICAN beef is regarded in England as of a superior quality, but they think the mutton we send there is not to be compar ed in flavor or tenderness with that of home production. The reason for this is that our sheep are generally treated in a way to favor the growth of their fleeces, without much consideiatiou of the quality of the mutton. IT is to be observed that while France has been suffering under the phylloxera scourge, Spain and Italy have been in ci easing their acreage of vines. In 1879 Spain exported wine to the value of 170,- 000,0C0 francs, in 1880 to the value of 225,000,000 francs. The area in Italy planted to vines is now nearly as large as that of France, aud much of it has been put out within the past five years. Con ventions to discuss grape culture, and ex hibits to display the products of the vine, are becoming common in Italy. But raisin culture is not becoming naturalized to any c xtent outside of Spain. The newer vine yard districts of Europe are chiefly wine districts. The best of them are beginning with American vines, There are few pla ces where submergence can be resorted ta with profit. HUMOROUS. A SAD affair He was a proud old Pennsylvania!!, and when Evangeline approached him on the subject ot her marriage with young Augustus i)e Courcy, he turned pale with auger, while the pers piration stood out like soap bubbles on his high patrician brow. " Father," she pleaded, ' there is nothing against hiui; he is oi good family ; he is industrious ; he never chews nor drinks nor smokes nor frequents billiard saloons aud he has never been in jail." "No, but he ought to have been," fiercely exclaimed the pallid and trembling aristocrat. This very morning I learned that he once held a position in the Philadelphia Tax Office." The fair girl, uttering a cry of horror, fell in a tit at his feet, and Augustus i) Courcy moved to Ohio. LOVE in Chicago : "You must kiss me twice in the very same place, George, or 1 can never be your bride." "Are you certain of this, Myrtle ? Is there no appeal from this decision?" "None whatever," answered the girl. Lookiug loviugly into Myrtle's deep blue eyes, Goonre bent over and kissed the sunny-haired beauty ou her right cheek, just aft of where a chuuk o! gum lay silently. "And if Ido not kiss you again we must part forever ?" he asked. "Yes,'' replied Myrtle. "Then good evening," he said, in cold, cruel tones. "You have unwittingly released me from my vows," and with a hoarse, piratical laugh he leiH;d over the front gate and was gone. (Logan, (Ohio) Docking Sentinel.] Hocking Valley New. In the atisence of anything startling or terrific, —politics and the exploits of the army worm excepted,—news from this delightful valley will not prove nerve-tingliug. However an item of very great importance to many ptxiple is communicated by Mr. F. Har rington, Wholesale and retail Druggist of Logan who thus writes: Mr. Alex.

A tariff discussion: Jimmy Teffboy is up to the times in all matters of public discussion. "Coming out skating this morning?" shouted his best triend. "Well, hardly.

Every time 1 come home I get Mr. Miggs to sit down on it, and everybody tells me its such an improvement." A PALPABLE hit: A countryman who had selected a scat at the theatre from which he could obtain a good view of the stage was greatly discouraged when a young lad y weanng a fashionable hat sat down in front of him. He bore the afflic tion in silence as loug aa he could and then, bending forward, said politely : "Please, Miss, would vou be so kind as to lower your umbrella ?" She lowered it amid the applause of the audience. A CON? IDEATE tneud: Some people, when they are tight, are very considerate.

SLTXJHT omission : A woman who car ried around milk in Paris said a naive thing the other day. One of the cooks to whom she brought milk looked into the can and remarked, with surprise, "Why, there is actuallly nothing there but water!"

PBITOHARD, of Washington, D. 0., is cer tainly entitled to great diHtmctioi. on account of hia goodueas to the soldier. His long experience—and ex perience ia everything—enable* him to bring about a Bi>eedy settlement of all class of claims. The fee for obtaining a pension ia only ten dollars, while the pen sioner frequently draws>everal hundred dollars at Awl payment And,the pension laws are so very liberal that a pension Is given for any kind of a wound, dis ease, or disability, even if caused by accident or other wise. And it should be known by every one that Mr- Pritchard makes rejected pension oases, and such other claims a* have tweu unskilfully and negligently proee euted by incompetent attorneys, a specialty. Ail such cases can yet be favorably settled. It is not uncom mon for him to secure the allowance of a pension claim after more than one rejection. There are thousands of Just and meritorious 'famn for pensions that were re jected during the five years that "Mr." Bentley was Commissioner, all of whom should apply again—and we say apply to Mr. Pritchard and know the double ad vantage of having a good attorney, and one at the Capi tal. where he can and will give such cases his personal attention. He makes no charge for advice. His ad dress is box 34, Washington, D. C, jr cri. pays ror ine sutr spangieu banner - I U mew. Nothing like it. 20th year. 8 pages. Illustrated. Specimens FREE.
