Mr.. Sayage'S Bill.

Gov. Marks has plainly recon-
mended the reputation of the great
er portion Of the bonded debt Of the
State of Tennessee, and in accord
with his views, Mr.. Savage has in.
troduoed a bill into the Senate TO
submit 10 the people the question Of
compromise or reputation. His
bill proposes three alternatives, and
that the tickets shall be inscribed
Fifty Cents" Zone Third" and
Nothing" Either must receive a
majority of ali the Yotcs cast to be
final, but the language of the bill
combines the two last against the
first. 1t does this by saying that if
"One Third" or Nothing" do not
receive majority Of the votes cast,
that "the next General Assembly
shall adopt so much Of the two as
shall appear most in accord with the
wishes of the people, That is, if
Nothing receives two.thirds of
votes and "One Third" a
a third, then the debt shall be COM
promised at one-third of oue-third
ef the amount. Plainly, if the debt
is $24, 100000, one-third would be
So, 100000, and under Mr.. Savage's
plan, and a vote as above, the next |
General Assembly would offer the
Of the State one.third |
of $8,OOO,O0O, being about $780,.
900. From the character of the
as indicated by its acts
so far, there is little doubt bat the
bill will pass and BECOME 2 law,
however devoid of truth may be its
and of honesty and good |

Public Roads.

The public roads of Tennessee
how to improve and keep them ii
| repair, is subject that should com
mand the earnest consideration o.
our Legislators. This question, be-
yond all dispute, is one OF vital I'm
portance to the citizens of the State.
It deserves the immediate attention
Of the Legislature. At this time.
the roads everywhere, are almost
impossible. In the language Of an
exchange, if our road system'is de-
icient let it be changed, but if the
system is good in theory and simply
not properly applied from some
cause, as it should be, let the steps
be taken at once to remedy the de
feet, whatever it may be. No coun
try can prosper in any large degree
without good roads, and no country
with ordinary natural resources, will
fail to prosper with good roads and
plenty of them. Every farmer should
have a good outlet to carry his pro-
duce to market, and everybody com-
ing into the country with a view of
selecting future home, will be
greatly Influenced either for or
against the idea of settling, as the |
roads he travels over may be good
Or bad, We hope this road matter
nay receive that prompt and eff
,ient attention which it so eminent
Y deserves.

A Colorado Juror.

The dry, cutting satire, practiced so
much by the cross-examining LAWYER of
to-day, is sometimes as dangerous in
court as it would be on the street. A
short time ago jury was sitting on a
case in southern Colorado. A woman
took the stard, and was somewhat I'M
tremendously treated by the lawyers.
at last a particularly dry and caustic
fellow began TO practice on her with the
cross-eXaminaliou. Now among the
jurymen was one gentleman. who was
drawn with apprehension and fear of
consequences. He was free, wild
miner, with no more idea of the re-
strictions OF law and Justice than buff
falo. He had twitched uneasily while
the woman was being examined, and
could only be kept still by being pro-
voked into whispered conversation
with the foreman. AS the cross-cxam-
ination reached a particular point, he
astonished the court by jumping up,
thrusting his hand into his hip pocket,
and eXclainiing to the lawyer: ali
thar, Mr.. Stick-in-the-Mud! " This
from juryman brought every eye in
wonder and amusement upon him. He

enthusiastically: "Of what weight with
me is the opinion of an ignorant jury
man! /" "Thats what | thought"
said Jack, as, with one bound, he clear
ed the rail and wound himself around
the lawyer. Before a constable could
reach and separate the struggling pair,
Jack had macerated the lawyer SO that
he was obliged to give up the case and
go home on shutter The juryman

Feeding for Milk and Butter.

If cows are to give good milk and in
large quantities they must have the food
necessary to make it. In summer the
pasture must be free from weeds,
which give bitter taste to the milk
and undefiled by pigs or poultry. The
grass should be so abundant, sweet, and
nutritious that they may fill themselves
easily and then rest, for quiet and COM
fort promote secretion of milk. Water,
access to which should be easy and to
be had at all times, should always be
pure, whether running or in troughs.
No access should be allowed to muddy,
standing, or stagnant water. This is
very important, or the milk will not be
pure nor the animal healthy. Shade
should be provided in each field, where
the animals could become cooled and be
less annoyed with the flies.
Toward the close of summer and in
the fall, when the pasture is becoming
short, the flow of milk and its richness
can be kept up by cutting for them
green corn fodder, sorghum, Hungarian
grass, or giving them an carly crop OF
sugar beets. 1t is very important that
corn should be sown broadcast OF
drilled in, so as to materially help out
the pasture at this time. Bran, with a
little corn meal, may be fed at evening
1t will promote the flow of milk and
help to keep them in good condition to
commence the winter with.
In winter give ten quarts of bran and
corn mixed per day, in addition to the
best early cut and cured timothy and
clover. Marigold, carrots, parsnips,
small potatoes, and like roots Tor vari-
ETY. and to keep their systems open.
Corn fodder or blades, pumpkins,
shorts, middlings, and oil cake are all
good. "Ilayard's Butter and Butter
Making" says :-"Corn fodder alone or
as reliance will not make good butter.
The effect of clover upon the supply OF
milk is well known; the dry material OF
which is equal to beans for albumen. AL
luminous matter is the most essential
element of food for the mich COW, and
any deficiency in the supply will be at
tended with loss of condition and dimi-
mutton in the quality of her milk. A
COW can yield far greater weight OF
butter than she can store up in fat. A
cow may give two pounds of butter a
day, while half that quantity would not
be laid on in fat if she was fed Tor that
purpose. Winter is the time it is most
difficult TO produce good colorcd butter
and free from streaks, and the harder 10
come. Judicious feeding will help this
very much. Where the stock kept is
numerous enough it will pay to steam
or cook the food and feed the hay tea to
the cows; with little salt through it
they will cat up everything greedily.
A lump of rock salt should always be
where they can have access to it,

A VEGETABLE DIET.-At a recent
meeting of the London Medical Society,
Sir Joseph Fayrer said that he had seen
in the northwest province of India,
whose inhabitants are pure vegetarians
eating not even butter, eggs or milk
some of the finest specimens of the
human race as regards strength, endur-
ance and physical development. Their
food consists chiefly of peas, beans and
the like-articles of diet especially rich
in nitrogen, which is one of the chief
elements of nutrition. Hence no per-
son needs to starve, who can secure a
dinner of beans, baked with little pork
and accompanied with good brown
bread. The body finds in these the
main things it requires to sustain life
heat, strength and nourishment. Iu-
deed, few persons could find a really
better diet-provided their digestion is
not impaired.
Still we would not advise an exclu-
sively vegetable diet in our climate.
Children especially need different diet.
This nature shows by providing milk
for the infant, for which all the resour-
ces of science have thus far failed TO
find full substitute. At later period
in fact during the whole period of
growth-no food is better, every way,
for bodily health than porridge made
OF oatmeal and milk Youths Com
