4 CHANGE TO he MADE IN THE ERIE LIGHTS
| Erie Dispatch: "a radical change IN the lights
has been ordered for this port The raugc lights
which were located on the peninsula thirty years
Gated about hnlf mile up the coast, and were
| sighted by mariners after they hnd entered tho
hurbor, for locating the angle in the channel op-
posit the elevators. There are two reasons for
that the recent excavations In the channel have
cut or the sharp angle opposit the elevators,
hence the rauge lights are now too far north.
The second reason for their abandonment is
that being SO isolated they arc apt in hard
weather to be blown out aud before tho Life
Saving Service patrolmen could be able
to reach them a vessc! hunting for the
shoals. With tho abandonment Of the
range lights there will be another located which
will be IN unerring guide. This will be placed
on top OF Keeper Henrys house and WILDE ia
10 line with the curve in the channel in the bay
Light No. :, on the north pier will be abandoned,
and light No. will be taken to the end Of the
the white light will be changed for u large red
one, which will prevent vessclueu from con-
fustng the lights. These changes will take place
in tho course Of n month, or as soon as the.north
pier is finished"
THE QUICKEST TR1r YET.
Buffalo Courier: ~ Tho propeller City Of New
York made run which has not been beaten SO
fur this season. She went from Buffalo to Chi
cago, took on Il load, and returned to Buffalo in
seven days and fifty minutes

Shade Trees In Pastures.

Whatever difference of opinion there
may be among farmers as to the propri-
ETY. of having trees in pasture-fields as a
resort for cattle in very warm weather,
no one can deny that the advantage they
are to animals in the midst of the heated
term, beyond the damage the trees may
do the land, is very considerable. But
it must be understood that some trees
do more damage to the ground than
others, and these are well-known to
most farmers, who will exercise their
own judgment when selecting them.
The cherry is confessed one Of these,
which, while it hurts the land scarcely
appreciably, is as fine tree for shade
as any in the catalogue, and besides
affords profit in fruit. Where will be
found more beautiful shade-tree than
the Black-Eagle, Elton, or Downer's
late cherryP They are hardy and good
bearers. Then again there is the yellow
locust, which is one of our most beauti-
full trees, though not generally so dense
in its foliage rs the cherry, which does
no perceptible injury to the land, and
the wood of which is valuable, like the
cherry, when there may be occasion to
remove them. These facts show that
there is no good reason why the cattle
should be deprived of this great protec-
ton against summer heat on the ground
of damage to the land, which is serious
ly done by the oak, the walnut, the
beach, and some Others mantoUa

The grasses in permanent pasture
must be chosen with the object of furnish
ing as near as possible constant sue
ceSsion of bloom. To this end there
must be variety. Variety is necessary
| to fill up the spaces and form COM
plete turf or sward. Every plant throws
off waste matter which is poisonous to
itself but fertilizing to another variety.
This is the reason why pastures with
but one or two varieties of grasses soon
run out-why land becomes clover-sick
for instance, and refuse to produce that
which at first it produced in luxuriance.
This is the principle that underlies the
rotation of crops, a practice but little
understood in this country, but a
matter of profound interest to the
higher agriculture of the old world.
We have not the great variety Of
grasses adapted to this climate that are
found in England, but have enough to
to furnish an almost constant succession
of bloom, and fresh luxuriant foliage.
Suppose now that we are selecting
seed for a permanent pasture, we first
inquire for that which will produce the
earliest bite, and our choice is not blue
grass but orchard-grass. 1t grows
early and rapidly and stands close
cutting. Next comes bluegrass, which
rushes into bloom from the middle to
the last of May, and then gives way to
other grasses for the time. The next
grass that claims precedence on the
soil and hence in our selection is white
clover, which has the gift of continu-
ance, and throws up constant success
sion of bloom till fall, if there be sufficient
moisture. Next the first crop of red
clover asserts its rights, followed closely
by the bloom of the orchard-grass. For
this reason it must have place and
prominent one in the pasture. We
believe we should exclude the mammoth
clover, as its dense, woody growth and
large leaves are in danger of smother
ing out the fine grasses, but little
alsike might be used, if only to furnish
bee pasture and bloom between the
first and second crops of red. Next we
should select timothy, which though
not tirst-class pasture grass. yet must
have its place in a permanent pasture
for July bloom, and also occupy the
ground till other grasses take hold. In
August and September we can de-
pend on the second bloom of red clover,
and in October we will be rejoiced to
find blue grass coming forward grandly,
and in spite of the frost holding its own
to the end of the growing season, and if
we permit it, laying up the materials
for winter pasture. There are three
other grasses worthy of experiment to
say the least; Mellow fescue. or as it is
called here g English bluegrass, red
top and fowl meadow grass. We have
not had sufficient experience with either
to recommend them. Red-top will I'M
doubtedly do better on wet land than
any other grass, but it is said by sons
to spread over arabic land to the ex-
clusion of more valuable grasses.
