Sensible Suggestions Of Sem
atOr Butler ON EducatiOm.

Concerning National aid to education in
the South, Senator Butler says:
III shall favor, in the Senate, tho distri.
button Of the sales Of the public lands and
patent fees among the Statos, according to
illiteraoy, for educational purpose. A bill
to that effect passed tho Senate at it's last
session, but failed 10 tho House. Tho
Senate bill, however, provided only for the
distribution of the interest on sales.
The entire fund ought to bo distributed as
the proceeds accrue from sales. Tho evil
of illiteraoy is upon US now, and extraor~
dinary efforts must be put forth to relieve
it, and it would be perfectly fair and
proper for tho Genorol Government to
mako this disposition of the sale of tho
public domain, tho common property Of
ILL.,"
In conclusion Senator Butler says:
"Whilst regard the common school
great blessing to tho masses of our people
and worthy Of every encouragement, it
should not be relied upon as the sole agency
for education. The private sohool, the
press, public speeches, the lecturer, the
pulpit, the Sunday school, agricultural and

Pasture for Butter Cows.

The best pasture grasses hote creeping
or wholly hbrous roots, the creeping root
running horizontally under ground and
pushing up stems every few inches from
this creeping root or rhizome. This creep
Ing root is not likely to be Injured by close
cropping, and retains its vitality better
through severe droughts after olose feeding,
when bulbous root would be destroyed.
The function of the bulb In bulbous
grasses is evidently to store up materials
for future growth; and if those bulbs are
injured or eaten off, the root is destroyed.
The nutriment in all grasses is gathered
by tibrous roots alono, and these fibrous
roots are joined to tho rhizome or the bulb
in creeping or bubous roots
The best specimens of creeping rooted
pasture grasses are blue grass, June grass
(Poa Preutises) and wire grasses, also
called (Poa Comprcssa.) Both of these
grasses, when we'll established in the soil
mentioned, will retain their foothold against
many disoouragemcnts Both of these
grasses start quickly aftor cropping.
Orchard grass (Daotyls glomorata) is
one of tho very best pasture grasses whom
once established. It tstarts, perhaps, more
raploiy aICcr cutting or cropping tnan
any other grass. 1t will grow in tho
night almost as much as cropped off in
the day.
Red top (Agroztis valgaris) should be
included. White and red clover should
always be mingled with the seed for pas
ture. There are many cshor grasses that
might be sowu, but tho seeds are difficult
to be obtained.
A good mixture of these seeds will be
the following: Timothy, elk pounds; Kon-
tucky blue graas, four pounds; wire grass,
three pounds; orchard grass, four pounds;
rcd top, three pounds; red clover, four
pounds; white clover, three pounds, and
sweet scented vernal grass, two pounds. A
pasture we'll stocked with these grasses and
clovers will certainly produce the milk for
"git edge" butter. Too little attention
has been, as yet, paid to tho stocking of
pastures. This subject needs careful OK
animation and discussion, and we shall be
glad to have the views of some of our OK"
perieuoed readers upon it.--Natioaal live

Albany Aryus, and has fixed upon q

this ticket be successful the Tin,cS AYERS

direction, will then address himself to tho
task of securing tho nomination for tho
Presidency. It is nearly three years yet.

tion, and there are many contingencies aud
party fluctuations possible between now and
then; but the Times in advance evidently ).
regards Mr.. Tilden as man to be dreaded.

that "this long headed gamcster is power
