Now and then we get from some sch0ol-teacher a
warm defense of schOol-noggng; and hardly any
Teachers Institute meeting is held in which some
pedagogue does not protest that without the rod
schools could not be managed at all. This is what
schoolmaster did at the session of the ST. Louis
County. Mo-. Institute last week. He argued that
boys from Is or IS years of must be whipped or
dismissed from the school. We mention this be-
cause much to our satisfaction, of the teachers
present appear to have agreed with this gentleman,
and notably teacher bearing the honored name OF
Il. Franklin was sure that schools could he con-
trolled without the infiction of bodily pain" while
another member said that in nine cases out of ten
pupils were logged in the heat of passion The fact
that passionate logging is something which nobody
defends seems 10 us to settle the matter The bar
barty is about AS bad for the oggug teacher as for
the logged pupil.

If entire reliance could be placed upon
Spanish dispatches, the news we publish this
morning of the defeat OF the Carllsts in
Navarro would be taken as indicating the
close of the instruction Of this year. The prin-
cipal body of the Absoutists appears to have
been utterly routed after a considerable en-
gagement, and there is rumor, which needs
confirmation, that Don Carlos is himself a
prisoner. If this should prove true, and the
fiery and impulsive pretender should after
the serious Spanish fashion, be promptly shot
this would probably be the last important
Carlist instruction until the young gentle
man, now year DID, who calls himself San
tiagO-J uan Carlos Alfonso Felipe, and Prince
of Asturias, should be old enough to ride on
horseback, and be shot in his turn As long
as there are Bourbons and thrones in Europe
there sure to be turmoil and revolutions
If the present attempt to drive out the Italian
dynasty, in favor Of one equally foreign and far
less liberal, is crushed by the army, the person
who will gain most prestige by it will be the
veteran favOrite OF the soldiers, the Marshall
Duke de La Tore. II he returns to Madrid
victorious in this short civil war, he will bring
with him capital of popularity which will
render him dangerous rival to Sagasta

Outside of Florida not many people have
warmly espoused the side of either of the
rival Governors in that State. The pending
impeachment of Gov. Read gave Lieut-Gov.
Day an opportunity to assume the functions OF
the Executive pro TEN. There has been a
great deal of needless complication and con-
fict but all peaceable people will now rejoice
that the contest has ended without the war
like demonstrations that were threatened.
Gov. Read has been acquitted finally, and so
all things return to their former position.

NJ. Louis BlancS forthcoming history of the
siege of Paris promises to be piquant if
nothing more. An extract furnished in adj
vance to THE TRIBUNE, and printed herewith,
gives lively account of the writer's visit to
Trochu during the defense of the capital, from
which we gain an impression of the General

No Proilt In Milking TOO Lang,

1t is generally thought best, so far as NY

dry before dropping their calves in spring

general health Of the animal or the amount
of milk to be produced the following or after

Draining lands infested with Coneh grass will

A man must know something about larra-

desire to become a farmer or gardener, but
before he becomes one he has something to
learn. We are constantly meeting both old
and young, who say they would like to become
farmers. They like fresh milk, butter and
eggs, the country air and fresh strawberries.
Oh, yes, they like all these good things, aud
many of them think they can be had for the
asking, no skill being required in their pro-
ducton. 4" would like says another, " to
be a doctor or lawyer" Well. do they be-
come rich without study No. nor does
any one think of such thing Yet it would
be just as foolish to think of becoming a sci
entifc and successful farmer without study,
as to become successful lawyer or doctor.
A love for the country is not enough Of itself
to prepare one for being farmer There is
no business which requires a more Thorough
observance or clearer perception of nature
than farming, except perhaps, that Of being
physician; aud the two professions are very
much alike, for we must study the laws which

AannlnlInn Of nrn..c..

At the late Farmers convention in New
Hampshire, Prof ldread apaper on grasses.
He said that grasses vary in character habit
and in their nutriive value. Some flourish on
dry sandy soils, while they speedily perish on a
wet one; others flourish on wet soils, while
they perish on a dry one. Some will grow on
alkaline while others demand a soil which
abouuds in potash, while others need lime,
another soda and so on. Some flourish in the
brightest sunlight while others flourish best
10 the shade Many thousands Of acres Of
land in this country are devoted to kinds Of
grasses which are not adapted to their capacity
Yet it is impossible in our present state Of
knowledge, to say what kinds Of grasses are in
all cases best adapted to all our varieties Of
soil. In wet meadows, out Of thirty plants,
four were found to be useful and twenty-,x
arc Of no value. Indry meadows, out of thirty
eight plants, eight were useful, and thirty
useless In moist meadows, out Of forty-two
plants, seventeen were useful, and the rest
were of no value. The upland thin soils are
the poorest grass lands the poor cays give
fifty per cent, the rich loans $50 per cent,
the flooded meadows $50 per cent, and the
irrigated meadows 400 per cent more than
the upland thin soils
