A new Governor of Kanzas, as successor of
Geary, will, beyond doubt, be appointed
next week. When the resignation was re-
ceived and, up TO last Tuesday, 1t was the full
determination of Mr.. Buchanan to urge his
retention of the responsible post he has filled
so ably, and, if necessary, to grant him carte
blanche for the future in addition to recogniz-

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON GRASSES AND For

ry comparative nutritve value, methods of cul-
tivating, cutting, and curing, and the manage
mentof grass lands. By Charles L. Flint, A.
M, Secretary OF the Massachusetts Board of
Agriculture, Member of the Boston Society Of
Natural History. vol. Svo. New York G.
P. Putnam & Co. 1857
This is very opportune work, and to every
practical farmer, who is not satisfied wife merely
going on in the old routine, must be both inter.
esting and valuable. The illustrations are capt.
ISL, being so well drawn and executed as to iden-
tify the kind represented with unerring accuracy,
and thus making that interesting to all, which
otherwise would have been, only to the scientific
botanist. The Importance of the subject is we'll
indicated in the preface, by the quotation from
the French writer who says, that the term grass
is only another name for beef, mutton, bread, and
clothing, and by the Belgian proverb 'sNo grass
no cattle; no cattle, no manure no manure, no
crops" Mr. Flint has executed his work so
well as hardly to leave anything more to be wish
ed for. The book is for sale at the bookstore of
